What a weekend!

3 days straight racing, and I am still recovering!

The pace was hot all weekend long and it was great to see the southern boys up here giving us a run, many of them leading the classes so well done to them. Common northerners, pick up the pace :whistle:

As always a big thank you to the Vic club and all the volunteers that make these weekends possible, you guys are awesome!

I hope everyone had a fantastic weekend, I can't wait until round 6.

Race report and pics are up on www.SkachillRacing.co.nz for those interested.

Cheers,

-Glen

Fit an airhorn so us mere mortals can move aside when being lapped.

Good on time write up Glen cant for the life of me workout how the hell you guys pull 10's.
I personally like the fact that rider fatigue effects some one 20 years younger than myself :) and that some one of your calibre knows im actually fast in the wet :msn-wink:
Keep up the good work.

Nice report bud! You must take notes immediately after your races to have so much detail in remembering what exactly happened in every race! Great reading and awesome racing bud! (oh and your wheelies were cool in pit area too...on yer pushbike ;-))

Yeah, I should have been in the 9's easy as with how well the bike was working :whistle:

The new bike before next round is more of a fantasy than a reality, got the money, just need the right machine to pop up!

Thanks Trudes, I hope you enjoyed yourself when you were up!

Haha, Cheers Swerve, and yeah maybe a little to close eh! I still feel really bad about that!

Haha, i'll get myself a steble, that way i'll also be able to use it to scare off any competition!

-Sketchy Racers guide to doing 1:10's-

1 - Hang on tight
2 - Shut eyes
3 - Open throttle
4 - Hope for best

:whistle:

Ok so maybe it's not like that. I still can't figure out how the do low 8's on a supersport bike! But I need to figure it out before nationals!

Catch ya next round, maybe it will be wet eh ;)

Haha, nah i'm usually quite slack and don't do my reports until a couple of days later. I don't like writing one bit, but I do like having a archive of racing details that I can look back on in the future.

I wish I could wheelies on a motorbike, push bikes are cheating, they have a rear brake on the handle bar!

Catch ya next round!

I think you have confused me with someone else there Clive!! Again sorry about the bunt I gave you, it was pretty close to a brown trousers moment!!

Cheers,

Well done Glen.................I can see from that pic though why ya didn't crack into the 9's, that blue thing on the headstock weighs too much, shoulda taken it off to gain an extra .0001 kph :innocent:

Naa man. No point grooming the fast young fussy buggers. Slow, drunken Scotsmen on the other hand.... Let me know when you want to sleep over again.:shifty:
