Please note: due to a change of date for the Wagga Wagga Track open, CNSW has requested that the Alex Simmons Benefit night be moved to Friday 28th November 2008. There should be some cracking racing, with the 3-person team format (a Sprinter, an Enduro and a Women making up each team) and teams can be club or trade-team based. It will be fast and furious fun, so if you're not racing, it will certainly be entertaining to come and watch. Details of the racing and function are listed on website here:Alex Simmons' Benefit Night The event is now on the CNSW calendar and can be seen here:CNSW Race Calendar - Alex Simmons Benefit Entries via the CNSW web site. Towards the end of the racing, Alex gets to do another 500m TT and see how much he can beat the time he set back in August. |
