Hi - have just flown back in to Wgtn from attending yesterday and today.

Some absolutely wonderful racing, only one accident where someone was taken to Hospital.

There should be a report on the nzmcnews.com site soon.

And you didn't even come and say hello,how rude LOLI'm coming down for both the Sound of Thunder and Britten Memorial races, so maybe we should organise a KB get together at the track for one of those weekends?

you can also go to mlaps.com for results - on the home page pick the race meeting you want (look for the NZ flags first, makes it easier) - I think Ruapuna's called "NZ Round 3" or something similar. This is the website for Tim Gibbe's electronic timing results - gives you lap by lap progress of the race and best times. A very good site if you can't be there.

K14: Sound of Thunder is 28th/29th February.

Kickaha: thanks very much for the accomm offer. We've got a motel booked (opp Riccarton Mall and McDonalds/McCafe...yum!!) but thanks anyway.

I don't remember the #9 chair, I kind of know a few of the chair guys, but spent most of the time at the track spectating or helping out one of our mates a bit (#88, Craig Gollop, R6 - did really well, a 3rd, 5th, and 4th in the GP)

Let me know if you'll be at either meeting and we'll try to meet up.

I was close with the date lol

Normally I would be on the #77 outfit with Kelly-Maree but as it was her mothers last event they were going to race together,unfortunately they killed it on Friday and after we did a engine change they did the gearbox in the first race Saturday.

We've raced together for two seasons but so far we haven't raced nationals together as last year we crashed at a local round and she broke her ankle.

Couple of guys I know were running 600's as well Matt did ok on his new Honda but Glens Triumph wasn't up to it.

Also really good to see Dominic beat Midge in one 125 race,as the whole family are really nice people.

Good first race in the wet with Andy beating Hayden in F3 as well,that was about all I saw.

I will be going to both of those events,probably helping Glen,pm me when it gets closer and we'll meet up

I remember #77, I wondered what had happened to it.

Matt's a nice bloke, spoke with him briefly. Glen's Triumph sounds great even if it's not fast, and it's nice to see one out there.

The F3 races were really good. (well, most of the racing was really!!)

Will PM you a bit before the SOT.
