Thanx A.M.C.C for a wicked day!. Was my first race meeting Well... I did do 5 timed practice/qual laps at Hampton downs Round 1 but then it rained so never raced.....need (spare wheels) So at Puke I manage to Qual 6th for Formula Auckland.
Race 1: Massive butterflies on the starting grid, big wheelie off the start (not good) & getting over taken by a pack of hounds going into turn 1 & then saw Phil go dirt tracking looking for kumara's by Castrol corner So there I was about 15th or something heading on to the back straight & at that moment was thinking what the Feck have I got my self into ha ha....RACING that's what I got myself into ha ha!.....I manage to climb my way back up to 6th for the first race & was so knacked I was ready for a bit of a Kip.
Race 2: Thinking to myself this time I will attack the start like the other pack of Hounds but No! another big learner wheelie take off & by lap 1 or two there was a red flag, so back to the dummy grid we went. Restart of Race 2 was better this time & manage 4th into turn one, so I think everyone else must of wheelied this time Muhaha!......I stayed in 4th for a few laps & can only manage to go hard for 6 laps (Unfit Farker) before I start getting knacked,losing concerntration, making mistakes & stuff (use to trackday speed lol, so manage to get 5th in that race.
Race 3: Was the highlight of the day for me, It doesn't matter where yr get as long as you have some one to battle with! & I had & Awesome one with Paul Ducan on the same GSXRthou as me & he did pretty awesome on his first visit to puke, last lap Paul pass me on the back straight so I was thinking OK Ive been making up time over Ford hill so that'll be my best chance to make a move... Well that move never happen cause I managed to still be in 3rd gear not 2nd while coming out of the Hairpin Doh! So got a 7th in that race. My best time was a 101.634
Even thou the Server crash at work, was a shite day, I still had a grin from Sunday! & even worked on my bike when I got home ha ha!
So now Trackdayer to part time Racer ...Yeahboi bring it on!
PS anyone got some k3GSXR1000 rims for sale :woohoo:
