Great day at Levels raceway, Timaru yesterday for the final round of the 2012 King of Levels Championship. Qualified 5th on track and 2nd 250 Production. Had some awesome starts. Lapped in the 1:20's. Race One was fun and fast, I just missed out on 1st place by 0.134s to Richard Willetts #92. Race Two was the same again but Bailie Perriton #17 pulled alway and did an impressive 1:19. I only managed 4th Place but that was enough to claim the KOL Championship. Race 3 the rain had come down and track was very slippery. About three laps in I had an amazing save coming out of turn one with the front and rear sliding away then suddenly flicking the other way throwing me up off the seat and back down again. I won the race and extended my lead to 22 points in the King of Canterbury Championship. Big thanks to Motorcycling Canterbury for putting on a good event. Bring on King of Ruapuna this coming Sunday!

I would like thank all my sponsors, Shoei Helmets, RK Chain, Bridgestone Tyres, Putoline Oil, Premier Brakes, Bowers Builders, Whyteline, New Zealand Pocketbike Imports, Sportz Fotoz, Dad and Amanda.
