Races - stacks of photos as always from me

[merv]

I thought I couldn't really add my stacks of photos to the "some photos" thread could I.

The weather turned out nice and so it was a pretty good day of racing.

Started out I saw Des Molloy there with his Panther selling his book and DVD.

The practice took longer than planned and then before the races got underway there was the usual ride by.

[merv]

They kept on riding by.

[Maha]

Keep em' coming Merv............lovin' those old classic's.....

[merv]

Still they kept on riding by.

[merv]

Yeah well me and my Bro' went to see the exhibition afterwards (I'll post pics of that later) then stopped at the Bulls pub for dinner so I've only just got home, but I'll keep them coming.

Spot our KB man Sparky Bills number 55. Damn digital cameras they are a bit slow in their action so sorry mate I cut a bit of your front wheel off in that photo as I couldn't pull the lens back quick enough as you went by.

[MattRSK]

Haha,

Well I can see a reason.

[merv]

There goes the ex Dave Hiscock/Robert Holden Roberts built bike number 1.

[merv]

Haha,

Im lovin the smug grin Martin!!

Well yeah, she's not a bad looking chick.

My old mate Richard Scott was there doing well on number 65 post classic.

Then there were all those Ssangyongs.

[NordieBoy]

Sweet shots.
Can't wait to get out to the Nelson races with my camera

[merv]

Now any one recognise this guy in a KB shirt? - he didn't stop to talk.

Then the racing finally started, but that first race got red flagged and run again later.

There's Sparky in action - well someone had to take photos of the guys towards the rear of the field eh and not just thos famous guys at the front!

awesome pics merv. keep em coming.

Here's Scotty going well on the old GSX1100 - not bad for a guy that set a lap record on the RS500 that lasted a while back in 1986.

Then there's Colin Tate still going strong on hos old Norton number 101.

Steve Bridge number 294 went on to beat Scotty in that race.

[merv]

Yeah, yeah I'm still going, this is fun but not a quick process.

The old Kwaka number 750 is still going strong too. It looks so funny with its chocolate thin width back tyre, but hell when I was young we were in awe of those bikes.

That's Jared Love on the Ducati number 69 in the Bears race.

J on the Motard is Josh McFarlane the Aussie (well he was born in NZ but went to Aus as a baby so they claim him now) and he was spectacular into the corners on the Aprilia.

[merv]

Then the big guys came out again, no not Sparky but Stroud, Shirrifs and co.

Then there's our man Shaun number 37.

After that I went and stood up on the Ulysses truck and watched the motards on the dirt loop.
