[racerhead]

Gutted Im missing this.

It was a great event last year and hopefully Ill be there next year.

[scracha]

Why you missing it?

[Clivoris]

Not sure if I can be there either. Events and finances are conspiring against me. A truly awesome event.

[johan]

My plan is to head out there tomorrow for Saturday's fun day. I'll have to pay on the day, hope that works.

[jellywrestler]

Today's paper reports a rider went over the side on 'one of the slowest corners'. Bike hit the barrier and rider tumbled down some 120m! Sundry hurties and choppered out. No names tho.

That doesn't sound too good. I hope who ever it is, is ok.

Right whats the go, whats been happening at the 'Hanger and who is the new champ?

[fatboyzed]

Day one had 3(?) offs, day two had 4 go down and once again Drew retains his title.

Bit overkill by the papper but he is fine and it wasnt that far im positive of that

[jellywrestler]

Was there a indecent? yeah there were a few indecent moments at the rally

[kiwifruit]

Well done Drew!

[JayRacer37]

But most importantly what was his time, and how was the road and weather conditions?

[sinfull]

But most importantly what was his time, and how was the road and weather conditions? Your record stands !
A slightly jaded drew didn't have to do many more runs after lunch, after Phill lost it and demolished his bike, hence taking the pressure off !
conditions were great weather wise and the road (i heard) was ok

Phill who? How and where were the crashes? Everyone OK?

Derby. He's fine.

There were too many crashes! Bill (Wilber) had a big one and got helicoptered out.

[roogazza]

That's good that Phil Derby is ok, and B Wilber ? is that the name and not Bill Biber ? Though I doubt he would enter this event ?

[Trudes]

Hope Wilber is doing ok. Heal up Wilber.

[Drew]

Crashes were all over the track. There were a couple on the fast right hander after the bridge. There is a horrible patch right in the middle of the corner ya just cant miss, and it is two inches lower than the rest of the road.

Couple on the cliff hanger corner.

And Phill on the left hander that tightens up on itself just after the finish line.

Dunno about the rest.

Herald on Sunday had this to say...

[glegge]

and for those that like pics.. http://gavweb.dts.net.nz/gallery2/main.php?g2_itemId=454
i'm sure there will be some better ones on the net soon, but hey - these are a start .
a lot taken on my phone so not great.
there's a mix for sure, but quite a few of me, you'll just have to click next lots..
Awesome weekend, thanks to everyone for making it happen. I've never seen my rear tire like that before - all the rubber rolling off, I'll be back!!

[slowpoke]

Well done to all the winners and the organisers. It's a great event, but the crashes/waiting took all the fun out of it for me, hence no Sunday. What's with eveyone trying so hard in practice....and so early in practice? Was there a trophy for fastest practice run or sumthin? Sounds like everyone is gonna be mostly OK though, so gotta be thankful for that.

[koba]

That's good that Phil Derby is ok, and B Wilber ? is that the name and not Bill Biber ? Though I doubt he would enter this event ?

I don't know his last name, Pretty sure its not Biber.

[et al]

I visited Bill tonight - he is in Wellington Hospital Ward 6, Bed 30. I am really pleased to report that his condition is remarkably good considering what he went through. Bill is in reasonably good spirits but very sore and still on painkillers. Nothing major broken I gather but some rib and back bone damage, possibly something going on with a shoulder/collar bone/arm that he is not too sure about at the moment. Basically "battered and bruised" I guess is the best way I can describe his condition at the moment. Bill said he has been able to get out of bed and walk about so I take that as being a good sign that things are not too serious, I am sure that is a relief for all of us.

[Trudes]

Absolutely!! Thanks for the update Malcolm. Glad to hear he's not too bad and will mend! Heal up Wilber :sunny:

A friend of Doug Fairbrother's (Martin Halford) was there taking pics but I don't recall him having a huge lens.

He does have a nice camera and has provided me with a disc of some most excellent photos. I will be using some of them for an article in Bike Rider Magazine. There's a few of you on the disc and he gave me permission to give them out......but I won't be giving any out until after the article.
