[QUOTE="greg brillus, post: 104823, member: 597"] It was a good event as always, but the numbers of entrants and even spectators was down by comparison to when I raced there in 2015. The poms being out of the international challenge would have made up some of the numbers but even in the other groups the numbers were down by a lot. The cost to enter the race including Thursday practice is very high, and this is putting people off entering. Apart from the Irving Vincent boy's there was no other Vincent's racing........ I know Ken Lucas had his Norvin there but he was just playing with it. when Beau Beaton had that "T bone crash" on Saturday morning that was a big blow, many spectators commenting on their disappointment that Beau and the Horner's bike was out for the rest of the weekend. The American who came off first broke his leg, and I heard that Beau had a few fractures in his pelvis and possible lower back damage. I saw the bike on a trailer come back to the pits and the forks were pushed back to the engine............ That pretty much killed the weekend for me after that........... Beau was in hospital for some time, but apparently he is fine, I haven't heard about how the American rider is. It is hard to say what the future holds for this event, the main focus is always the international challenge, the other events seem to just make up the numbers. It is a fabulous track to ride on, but their thirst for money makes it hard, most older blokes are not interested in paying big dollars for such a small amount of actual track time. [/QUOTE]
