[scott411]

forcast is for fine weather tomorrow and sunday, so this is just my watering system at the moment ;)

MIN 12°C
Fine but cloud increasing. Northeasterlies developing.

[RJM]

What sort of surface is it? Looking forward to coming down for a play on Sunday.

[scott411]

it is a barley paddock again so it will be more like the 2nd round, with a harder base,

[A&R]

Wow bit of rain here today! :shit:
philip duncan forecast (www.weatherwatch.co.nz/content/auckland) reckons 80 % chance of rain today ( and he guess he's right there) dry saturday and 60% chance of rain on sunday afternoon. So guess it might be a good mud fest.:scooter: :Punk:
Why is it when I get chance to go on one of these it rains!:sick:
I hope it holds off on sunday but i'll still be there rain or shine. (I'll remember to put fuel in the kids bikes this time Scott ! :doh:your help was appreciatd last time)

[oldguy]

Harden up guys and get your ass their, be good to ride a muddy track, its all FUN see you guys on the start line, be prepaired to be owned, by an OLDGUY

[scott411]

the track is pretty cool, they had 30mm of rain on friday and the soil is awesome, i think this will be the best track of the bunch, hope to see you guys there

[RJM]

Sounds good, have spent the afternoon servicing the bike so now ready to give Senior C a crack tomorrow.

Do you think it will cut up much in comparison to others?

[scott411]

probebly more than the last one, but not as much as the first one , if that makes sense

2 old guys together ......... me and you.... :bleh: Is mike going I've got a spare kdx200 if he's willing to fuel it and wash it afterwards..... would make three oldguys:blink: and I know who would win and I don't think it would be you or me. I guess Phil will going too so would make 4 oldguys. good for :apint: afterwards......catch ya tomorrow.

[scott411]

474 riders today, pretty massive number, thanks for all those that showed up

[A&R]

Thanks Scott and all the crew that helped marshals, medics, hamburger/sausage stand etc. Had a great day and the rain stayed off until the end so great. The CRF has gone wonky on me so I (luckily) had taken the KDX which didn't let me down. Kids had a good time too and even the wife enjoyed watching!:gob:

[tnarg]

Had an awesome day. first time on the bike for a bit but I didn't do too bad really. Shit it got cold between races. Thanks Scott and everyone involved.

[mfordy]

A few of the highlights today

[mfordy]

A few more ....

[mfordy]

And a few lowlights LOL. Yes, even the big boys got caught out today.
More photos uploaded to our picasaweb site over the next couple of nights

[RJM]

I had a great day out there, really enjoyed the track lay out and loved the surface conditions. I made an absolute meal of the starts, hit neutral in my first race, stalled the second in order not to go up someones exhaust pipe so hung back for Senior C2.

Must have been a nightmare organising a day like today with such a large number of riders. Even though only managed two full runs before shooting off to catch the Warriors I had a blast. Thanks again Scott and all the other organisers / volunteers.

[oldguy]

Awesome day, cheers Scott and the Mr motoorcycles team of helpers, hope you do this series again next year.
Good to catch up with mfordy and A&R been awhile mate.

OLDGUY BINS IT runs over a mate well all most, ran over his bike though..

I saw you walking through there, wouldn't have guessed you were filming. I featured at 0:08 lol. Nice clip of the first Senior C race.

Can't say I was nervous at the start but was definitely feeling the cold and sick of the juniors revving their 2 strokes!

are you next to the young lady on the 150R, she is a really good rider:yes: owned me:doh:

[RJM]

Yeah that's me on her right with my helmet off. I was having a good chat with her, nice girl, she was saying she nervous so I thought I'd give her a cheeky race... Hooked neutral off the line and never saw her again haha. She was riding really well mid pack.

[tnarg]

Cool. I saw you walking around. Im number 818 down the end of the line at the front at 28 sec. I saw that girl racing luckily my bike had more power on the straights but she did go quite hard.
