Big Ups! BADD 3 Hour and TRRS!

[Genestho]

Hey Guys and Gals!

Just want to say a huge thanks and well done to the Organisers of the TRRS and 3-Hour, our 3 Hour Teams and their Crews, the TRRS Competitors, the Marshals, Photographers, BADD team, the Ralliests, Sallies, the fantastic band, Yeah-Nah from Palmy and of course - our sponsors and supporters!

Congratulations on the 3 Hour Sloan, that was an awesome effort!

We have heaps of filmed footage, (and loads of photos to come in) - so after a wee relax, my self and Ian Dawson will see what we can put together for you all! There should be footage appearing on youtube over the next couple of weeks!

We have had really good feedback about this event!
So, if there is anymore feedback, and/or photos/footage, please don't hesitate to post it, or pass it on!

Bigger and better next year :D

[Danger Dave]

Thanks alot guys it was an awesome event, can't wait for the next one :2thumbsup

[Toast]

Bigger and better next year :D

Awesome event...but it would make the racing 10 times better for the spectators on top of the pits and in pit lane (90% of the total at least) if they could have heard the commentary so that they knew who was coming where. All of the speakers point towards the car park!

[Kornholio]

A couple of pics...

Would have a good one of Aaron Slight and stuff but had flicked the camera to movie mode and the remaining pics were 2 sec vid clips that showed bugger all.

Had a brilliant time even tho i wasnt riding... will be back for the next one teaming up with Paul Brown and his ZX-6

Nice one Jos and Scrivy and everyone else... You guys did good :D

[emaN]

cheers for the pics ricky... who was racing the V4?

don't blame ya for taking pics of brolly dollies - kinda bit of a non-event over in Te Love, innit?

[Frenchy]

it was a lot of fun!! i think a good idea would be transponders and a big screen telly in the pits so people can look at the times and results as the race is going!
But a great well organized event well done to all involved :2thumbsup

[vtec]

Yeah, thanks again for another great year ender, plenty of dramas out there, but a lot of fun. Pity I only got second in the bicycle race. Legs were shattered from the endurance race, and cadence required for the single speed was just too much in full leathers.

[Matt Bleck]

Thanks for running a great event!!! :2thumbsup

Some dude from Oz was racing the V4... Nice guy too, Golly was talkin Aprilia shop talk with him and he said the Club rounds they do over there are shite compared to NZ... some events they dont even get trophies..... They love it here... :D


Thanks for running a great event!!! :2thumbsup

Hows your toe au? :girlfight:

[Teambwr47]

Err..... the results are up on Marktimes site but I assume that the motards did a shorter track even though the site says they did the same as the Superbikes....

Otherwise big up STEVEN CROAD with the 1.08.48..... best get your entry in for the Nationals on your CRF 450.;)

[Genestho]

Also I heard the Endurance Aussie blokes want to come back for another go, and were keen to fill in next years entry before jumping on the plane this morning lol!!

haha, yeah they were on track 2, but that time looks like an error anyway with a 1m 22 lap before it and a 1m 14 after it. Gareth Jones was doing 8's on that track last year I think

Heres a video of the start (of the 3h) from the outside of t1. Not the greatest footage but it is proof you were there!

Couple of photos attached too.

[kiwifruit]

You guys were impressive! :rockon:

[sidecar bob]

You guys were impressive! :rockon:

It gives you that same felling you get when you watch a well oiled machine turning out complex components at a great rate dosent it?

[sennandy]

Awsome event, really enjoyed it, was my first time there, crashed out on last lap of the F1 superbike on my SP1, was so pissed now just repair bills and getting ready for the next few months of racing. I had only raced clubmans before this and this event taught me so much.

I for one will be back next year, hopefully I can just hold on for the entire race.

Thanks guys!

Hey Dudes and Dudettes!
I've been on a rather large sabatical, my apologies (but damn it was good! teehee), I'm running late (I know!) with photo's and footage and reports, currently sifting through photo's available, mucking around with footage -and working on reports!

I hope all those writing race reports on the 3-Hour, don't mind if I use quotes for reports, and for future sponsorship possibilities?

Will post stuff up when organised, week or so. Cheers :D

[CHOPPA]

I nearly run over everyone on the start!

[Genestho]

A shakey rendition lol, a few of us were operating a new camera! (doh)
