It was very interesting and enjoyable watching the Historic Vic. State Titles at Broadford via Computime. Regarding the Classic 500 and 350 races a huge "Onya" to Keith Campbell and Neil May. Very impressive performances by the two of them and their machines.They were in a class of their own. As always a big "Thank you" to the organisers. Jerry Kooistra

Glad you enjoyed it Jerry.
As you well know, those Hondas can be made to gallop. I can only look on in amazement at how well they go. I look forward to the next event and hope that "Flossie" will be here to keep the boys honest.

I had a great time at Broadford, enjoying the track, the organisation, the racing & the people. The only disappointment for me was the combination of big & small bikes in the "Up to 600cc races" from all classes in one race. I also heard at the Barry Sheene event that many potential interstate competitors were turned off by this arrangement. It didn't bother me particularly but many slower riders could have been & were very intimidated by being lapped & passed by other much faster riders (including international class riders).
A much better way, in my view, is to have similar capacity bikes from all periods in 1 race as per Phillip Isl Classic & Barry Sheene Festival eg. "Post Classic & Forgotten Era 125 & 250cc/Classic 250/350cc" (Barry Sheene Festival) or "Pre-War/125cc (All Eras)/250cc Classic" (Phillip Isl Classic)

Hi "Burnie" I have to agree with that. I have had a few tell me that they stay away because they don't want to become mobile chicanes. This is something for H.M.R.A.V. to give consideration to before the Southern Classic. Safety must always be of paramount importance.
Thanks for making the effort to get down here and thanks to Jerry and Mandy for making the Easter trip.
