Skachill Racing is off to Australia!

[Sketchy_Racer]

Hey all!

I'm excited to announce that Skachill Racing is off to Australia for the 2010 MotoGP support race. This is an awesome opportunity for myself to gain experience at a top level of international road racing and I am so excited about making the most of this amazing opportunity!

The whole trip was bought around by <b>Chris Osborne</b> of <b>Ozzy Performance</b> suggesting that we make the trip. A bike was sourced and it was all go. Being my first ever trip outside of the country and biggest race event yet, I am little bit anxious but can't wait to get there.

Once again I have been astounded by the support of the motorcycling fraternity in New Zealand and the amount of support I have received from numerous people is really amazing and greatly appreciated. Any help is greatly appreciated and does not go unnoticed.

This trip would not be possible with out the supreme generousity of the following companies, organisations and people;

• Chris Osborne of Ozzy Performance
• <a href="http://www.vicclub.co.nz" target="_new">Victoria Motorcycle Club</a>
• <a href="http://www.museumhotel.co.nz" target="_new">Museum Hotel Wellington</a>
• <a href="http://www.nudemetalz.co.nz/" target="_new">Nudemetalz Ltd</a>
• <a href="http://www.ripecoffee.co.nz" target="_new">Ripe Coffee</a>
• <a href="http://www.shaunharrismotod.co.nz" target="_new">Shaun Harris, Motodynamix</a>

• Kevin Waugh
• James and Jill Parr
• Andrew and Leigh Presant
&bull; Nigel And Trudie Manning

No doubt as time goes on there will be even more people on that list!

We are currently fundraising to cover some of the remaining cost, mainly being the tyre bill for the event and to achieve this we have a raffle for some pretty awesome prizes.

Up for grabs is:

• Night for two at Wellington's Museum Hotel
• Custom CNC machined Ducati 1198 Clock by Nudemetalz
• Ripe Coffee prize pool for all the coffee junkies out there.
• Remote Controlled Helicopter, not just for the kids either!

Check the www.skachillracing.co.nz (http://www.skachillracing.co.nz) website for the pictures of these awesome prizes.

Remember, you have to be into win!

If you are interested in purchasing a ticket for the raffle please don't hesitate to email me at: G.Skachill@gmail.com

Also, keep an eye out on www.skachillracing.co.nz (http://www.skachillracing.co.nz) for any updates and the results of the draw!

This is a fantastic opportunity for Glen, BUT, all is very different for him, Machine, tyres, track, don't expect the world folks, but am sure he will do a great job there

Thanks Shaun,

Yes it will certainly be a big step into unknown territory, but as they say jump in the deep end and learn how to swim!

[F5 Dave]

Good luck Glen, smack some butt over there.

And by that I mean keep your eye out for the main prize; there will be heaps of sponsorship girls around wearing thin Lycra:eek:. Always makes a good picture on your profile page if you can convince them to pose with you. & they will, it's their job.

And you can lie about it to yer mates afterwards.:done:

Anyway get out there on the street corner & sell some more raffle tickets.

[Sketchy_Racer]

Hey guys!

I want to thank everyone out there who has entered the raffle and support me so far, we are a week away from heading over to Australia and the raffle is being drawn this weekend at Manfeild where VMCC is running the 6th round of the winter series.

A some what larger than anticipated tyre cost has popped up and we are still in the hunt for a bit more $$ to help cover these costs so be sure to get in quick while you can and be in the draw to win!!

Remember all the details are on my site (www.skachillracing.co.nz (http://www.skachillracing.co.nz)) which explains how to enter!

Again thank you everyone for your outstanding support!

Cheers,

-Glen

[Tony.OK]
