Gary,
No-one seems to want to wade in here, and probably there would
be very few on this site, that have ridden, even a madison, which
is a pity. They are great fun, and quite a spectacle.
As for 6's don't think they have had one for many, many years.
Sounds like you're the one, if you raced at Nerang Club in one.
This Madison is still going...

On the Zurich site, there was a great video, time-motion, setting up the track,
racing, then deconstruction, don't see it there now, but they may put it back up,
it was great.

As in Europe, take a look at this Zurich 6 set-up, unreal, and this is what we need in Aus.
Was a guy around was trying to push this idea back in my time, to have a transportable
track, which now could be set it up at the Burswood Dome here in Perth,
run Madison/6's then truck it around Australia, great idea.
Madisons are great, and once you get good teams, familiar with each other, and the
changes can been smooth, it makes for great racing.
We were thrown in at the deep end, as juniors, and competing with seniors, in all
out madisons, quite a lot to learn, and you did it quick, or else.
Ended up winning a State Madison Championship, back in the Day.
Would be great if we could get SBS to give any Madisons, or 6-Days some airing.
Enjoy your ridng, mate.
Cheers,
Brenton
