Well done Choppa. You couldn't have picked a worse track in AU to try and learn out of the box (other than maybe Wakefield Park). But it's great to see someone taking up the challenge. I maintain that until we as a motorcycling community do something about getting someone in to the AU or BSB championships, then we're not going to see anyone on the world stage for some time. Those are the places you have to be competing to have a chance of being recognised by a good outfit... not Taupo and Manfield.

Go hard fella

Looks like he finished 6th again in the first race today. Not sure if he gets any more races today. Its a double header weekend so I think there is qualifying for the second part of the round this arvo and two more races tomorrow?

Yep effictively there were two rounds this weekend 3a and 3b

Because the grid seems backwards my 5th place on the start put me on the outside?? So again with the start in the first race all the guys on the inside got the line! Came out of the first corner around 10th, managed to get myself up to 4th when the guy in front of my crashed and ran me off the track! I got back on in around 10th and got back to 6th, i made a pass from 6th to 4th in the last corner but ended up running wide so back to 6th!

Still managed to get 5th overall for round 3a.

My plan for qualifying was to get 8th so it put me on the inside of row 2 but i ended up 7th which should set me up for some good results tomorrow!

Yeah I saw it took ya a few laps to get down to your race pace, bit of traffic at the start I guess!

Good luck for tomorrow! I like the look of 25 degree air temp and 32 degree track temp. I think we might get 3 or 4 degrees tomorrow
