Eastern Creek Events Cancelled
Hot on
the heels of the news that the 2nd round PCRA/BRA meeting on 15th.
April is cancelled now more bad news that the round 3 meeting
scheduled for the 8th. July is also cancelled.
Massive delays to construction of the new track section and Pit area due to the very wet summer
we've had is to blame.
Next meeting will be Wakefield Park on the 15th (now round 2) and
the 16th of September for the annual one hour event..

BRA display stand at the Barry Sheene Festival of Speed
Again was judged a huge success as race goers showed plenty of interest in and sought information on Bucket Racing the fastest growing and most economical way into Road Racing.
Bikes for all bucket classes were on display.
In particular a huge amount of interest was shown by younger riders in the Commuterlite class which looks like continuing to grow at a rapid rate.

Round One of Bucket Championship at Wakefield Park.
After two weeks of solid rain coming up to the event, it was a pleasant surprise to find the sun shining and an almost dry track on race day. Off track excursions was not recommended due to the saturated condition of the run off areas.All classes were well supported with a number of newbies and a few former Bucket racers returning to racing and others stepping up to the quicker classes.
A lot of riders experienced carburation problems probably due to the strange weather conditions.
The racing in all classes was exciting stuff with some excellent dicing throughout.
Excellent organisation by the PCRA and the bonus of a dry day made for a very enjoyable days racing.

Eastern Creek Round 3 The third round of the Bucket championships at Eastern Creek produced some great racing.
The weather obliged with a dry cool overcast day. A few riders came to grief, Suzii Stevens came down after tangling with Flapper and Tyler Bradford high sided on turn 9. Both riders are a bit bruised and sporting a limp but they will be at the Bucket Nationals now only a fortnight away. The new Commuterlite class had 8 bikes on the grid with several newcomers acquitting themselves well producing some exciting racing.
