Australian Offroad Championships
20 to 21st June 2015
Round 7 & 8
Hi All,
The past weekend had us travelling north to Aratula, Queensland for Round 7 & 8 of the Australian Offroad Championships. Beautiful Queensland weather on a never before raced property meant for great riding and racing conditions. The organisers out in some great effort to run a true 2 day card carrying enduro with over 3.5hrs riding each day.
Saturday started out with sighting laps of the 2 loops for the weekend with 2 special tests on each loop. A total of about 3 hours riding for the day. Josh and Mitch both enjoyed the tight and technical tracks. Timing was done on 4 special tests for the day with Josh dominating the J3 class taking the win easily. He also managed to secure 3rd outright of the Junior class which was his highest placing to date. Mitch also had a great days riding staying smooth and fast securing 1st place in the J2 class for the day.
Sunday was the same loops as Saturday but a bit more challenging given the use they had had the previous day. Timing was done on 8 special tests for the day. Josh again taking the win in the J3 class and again 3rd outright in the juniors. Mitch also had another great day with some fast times but was beaten by 4 seconds at the end of the day to settle in 2nd position. Both boys continue to lead there championships in the series and look forward to the next rounds at Kyogle, NSW late next month.
This weekend sees us heading to Mildura in North West Victoria where we will spend the week getting ready for the Hattah Desert race the following weekend. Both boys are looking forward to the challenging race for their 5th year and are hoping to put their Kawasaki’s on the podium.
Thanks All,
Josh#103 & Mitch#204
