Van der Togt Flying in Perth




The numbers were still down with riders away riding in other exotic places and the rain kept away which is a bonus as this causes some problems as the roof leaks and wet boards are not the best with track singles let alone riding round the banking!!

As usual all grades were present but some combining took place due the lack of riders, young Jordan van der Togt was flying, Daune Johansen after the first scratch seemed to run into a brick wall and faded as the evening went along, young ladies Isabelle King showed the way for some of the 'hot rods' in her grade, vet Bobbie Barnes seemed to have found the fountain of youth with a couple of places for the night, maybe this was due to him not wearing his famous  purple skin suit.

At the end of the evening there were smiles all round for a very good night's racing.
