The Last Hurrah is happening on the 21/22 November 2009, this is surely the last opportunity to see a decent bike race on the famous Oran Park circuit.
The 6 hour, aka The Castrol 6 hour, now sponsored by Bel Ray will be the last endurance race we will see for a long, long time.
It brings me back to my youth (thats right, I did have one, you up the back, stop laughing) the six hour was a great social event, we set up B-B-Q's and looked at some fantastic machinery both in the pits and in bikepark, met up with old mates you have'nt seen in ages, good times indeed.
Only one thing bothers me though.

Its on at the same time as the Sydney Motorcycle show.
They (no I dont know who "they" are) did the same thing at the start of the year, when the Barry Sheene Memorial race was on in Sydney the held a very similar event in vic-bloody-toria and both had overseas guest riders, we cant do both. So for me I'm doing the bike show on friday and the six hour on sunday, please feel free to join me.

Sounds like a pretty good weekend all round.
I was planning on seeing the Bike Show Friday aswell.
I'll see what happens for the 6hr, it does sound like a great day out.

Sounds like a plan, time closer to the day.
We can also go this way, cuts out the freeway run.

Good route, but take Cobbity road just before you get to Oran Pk because it will take you nearer the pits
