Chookies Versus The Sliders

This is not a video about small chicken hamburgers but perhaps flat track purists should stop reading/watching now!

Dirt track, as it's known Down Under (Australia), is a little different to what is traditionally seen as 'Flat Track' but the gist is basically the same.

Flat dirt track (mostly), very enthusiastic, competitive riders and a small loyal crowd.

This is the 1982 'King of Nepean' race series, the video gets interesting about one minute in when two sliders (grasstrackers) start dueling with a chook chaser (Aussie slang for MX bikes). It's worth watching just to hear a horse racing commentator call a motorcycle race (his after race comment is a keeper). It's a good race!

Back then Nepean Raceway [the closest dirt track to Sydney] was prepped with waste oil to give a slick but tacky surface and to keep the dust down. It's one of a handful of race tracks still operating in New South Wales Australia.

Enjoy, Hardy

NOTE - See what's being raced at Nepean now in Sideburn 24.

TC Lottery has gained popularity for good reason—it’s fast, simple, and transparent. I enjoy how effortless it is to log in and view results. It’s definitely a step up from traditional lottery methods that take too much time.

Reading stories has always been a fun and engaging way for me to sharpen a variety of skills, and it’s incredible how much learning happens almost effortlessly. As I immerse myself in different genres, I notice how my vocabulary subtly expands with each new chapter. I’m introduced to words and phrases that might be unfamiliar at first, but as the context around them unfolds, I get to understand their meanings and even start incorporating them into my daily speech. This not only enriches my language but also enhances my ability to communicate more effectively.
