Yeah... shit house :blink:
This was last year, the year before was much the same and we'll be there again this weekend so it should be the same :yes:

hahaha - what you have to remember is that the weather report for the coast has an accuracy rate of about 40%. when they say 'west coast' its an area that stretch's from Auckland to wellington.

The best and most accurate is metvu. greymouth is not expecting rain until Tuesday afternoon. - silly boys!!

A little bit of drizzle earlyish, but dry roads for all racing. And a mighty fine day it was, thanks to all organisers and volunteers in making it happen! :woohoo:

[steve74]

And thanks to the riders for providing a great spectacle!!

Apart from the multiple bike pile up in the dirt section and a the "Black Betty" incident on turn 4 in the last Formula Grey race, the day ended up pretty good.

I think Neil should rename black betty the Exon Veldez. He must run 20 litre's of oil in that thing???:blink:

cheers, steve

I will collate the full results tomorrow and get them posted on the website asap. ( the advantages of being off work on ACC)

[Kickaha]

Primary chain broke and was trying to find it's way out of the motor, so it made rather a large hole for the oil to get out of

Guess what my next postie will be and what's in my garage :whistle:

Saw him toss it way in race 1 did he do some more damage later on?

[Ghost_Bullet]

It was an amazingly awesome weekend. After quite a while off the track with several issues through the year, it was awesome to get back on the bikes, and what a place is Greymouth. Had some fabulous battles, and that is what makes it so much fun, along with the spectators and the organisation behind it all.

Thanks a million, and I will be sure to be back again next year 2011.
