It was mint day other then being taken out on the second to last lap of the first race buy a suzuki trying to find a gap that wasnt a gap. It was my first time there.
Any pictures of a CRF450 with 119 for the number blue rims? or number 5 CRF450 black rims red hubs?
Also how do we find results?

For the results I would check their website which is www.cambridgemx.co.nz and I'll take a look at my pics and post them up if I've managed to snap you.

Spewing I missed it, bloody wife booked a trip away on the same weekend :angry2: Usually takes 2-3weeks to post results up and they only record members placings. Might be a bit quicker as that was the last round, my fingers are crossed, I was leading int 250 by 73 points.. 75 points possible for 3 wins so it will be close. Seems everybody knows Troy eh..
Where did the guy crash and break his leg??

Nasty.. Big crash there 2 months ago in practice, popped up over that jump and this poor guy was on the ground, got run over by 2 bikes and I just missed his head, was ugly man, he was moaning like fuck and caught the ambo home.
Hey I hope you beat Troy!

Yeah mate that was me I saw the guy just as I got airborne, saw 2 bikes go over him when i was up there, landed and just managed to miss his head then piled into the other crashed bikes and went over the bars it was mad, the flagger was slow as, i ended up pulling the crashed guys bike out of the way because dudes were still flying through, everyone was just standing around like stunned mullets! I just heard the poor dude moan and told the guy there to get the ambo, I know that moan I have had it myself.. If I'm not first I will definitley be second, 808 was in second place coming into that round and had to go 1-1-1 anything less and I've got it. Did dave beat him in any races?? If he did I owe him a beer. Damn my missus, all I had to do was turn up and score 3 pts!!
Waikato champs next Sunday??

Its bloody hard to know where you are in an all in race, if you get some clear track you are usually in the front of the intermediates, and if you don't get lapped by some nutbar on the limiter you've done allright. First round was a split start, much better i recon. Pretty ruthless in the first corner and whole first lap with the experts. Good character building stuff though.
You starting in 2nd gear CRF119?

Na but i should have been i just didnt want to stall im making a 4 gate start setup for the home track to get practise. My mate gets mean starts he said he was 3rd into corner one behind cotter by the 2nd or 3rd lap ive probobly passed 10 people at least and cought back up to him. Going to do more racing over summer. I do trail riding i the winter. That was my first race meeting

2nd gear is the go on the 450, you gotta get a good start, as you have just found out, its half the battle. Looked into making some starting gates last year when i had a track, a random starting sequence machine would be the go, you can buy the complete setup from the states but its a bit spendy. Waikato champs on sunday, 2nd race?? Cambridge is awesome eh.

Youir thinking of Gaundenz Gisler, owner of Gisler Moto Tech in Taukau, he is a swiss guy that used to race 500 gp's, still very fast, unusual style but quick, he has a YZ250 and also a CRF450 and some old school gear
