So you are running P82 and P89 together?

????????????????

[Triplenut]

At this stage pre 82/89 will combine in one race group with separate trophies.
But as always classes and any combination of classes will be subject to numbers of entries received and may change.

These race groups were based on numbers of entries last year. If that changes then so will the groups ( perhaps to similar groups as the Southern Classic Festival).

We try to accommodate our members and what bikes they are riding as best we can.
Best to enter the bikes you want to ride so we can work it out.

Cheers

...that was good...rain didn't happen like it was kind of forecast to...sun shone all day...bugger all red flags for the amount of riders and horsepower on the track...not a lot of laying down on the track, although I was one of the few to do so, and quite early on in the day...the CB is a bit bruised but not as much as me...I had the Velo to continue with but between my hip, arse shoulder getting louder and stiffer and a bit of fuel starvation with the Velocette I watched the last couple of rounds...trustme turned up with his Triumph and played with us Southern boys and girls, I think he had a great day, nice to meet you Paul...

...I was going to pour lots of medicine from the fridge into my wounds when I got home but two cups of tea was all I could manage before I was zzzzzing...

...good stuff and exceptionally well run by the CAMS Team...:niceone:

[Voltaire]

How did Trustme do on his Triumph T140? ( by do I mean it didn't break down )

[ellipsis]

...I'm sure he will be able to give you his report of his first street meeting...his bike seemed to be pretty faultless to me...he was pitted next to me and had a big smile all day...

[Triplenut]

Results are up on the CAMS website ..... www.cams-racing.org.nz

Will get some photos up soon.

Thanks to all riders, track builders, Officials and Committee for making an awesome day.

Cheers

...the young bloke featured at the beginning of the news clip, Bryan O'Hara, 81, is the man who conceived and brought this opportunity to his club, CAMS, 9 or 10 years ago...

[trustme]

Just got home to AK , still smiling . Thanks to all who worked so hard to organise an awesome day.
Ellipsis , I hope that broken arse of yours is feeling better today. Met lots of great people.
Hopefully the stars will align again so I can be there next year.

Question, how many spectators were there.

[ellipsis]

...Yeah, I poured lots of medicinal shit into my body yesterday, lots, went to work today to get back into it...feel good enough to smile at my mistake...Triplenut will be able to come up with attendance numbers at some point...my CB is a bit bruised but that is all...a good time to do the front end up, which was on the list...now it's broken makes it easy...
