Teretonga Round 2

**kiwi cowboy** · 15th June 2009, 18:51

Well after making the racing deabooo in round 1 of the winter series at terotonga witch eas wet and cool but had a great time i was looking forward to last sunday for round 2.
With the bike and gear loaded and ready and new trailor wireing [fried going to round 1

]off we went on sat arvo.
Got up in invercargill to supprise

pissing down and gold.
Got to the track set up and yarn,sign in and got out on track in the wet for practice.
Allmost had a streetstock take me out going into the elbow when his front locked up and went from under him and he had a close look at the gravel trap.
Aperantly his bike just missed my rear as i tipped in and the chick almost run him over as he was sliding so a bit lucky all round and he was able to repair his bike to race

Came round for race one just as the sun pocked through cloud wit it still drizzling shining straight down the straight so missed the start along with a fella on a nsr cos we couldnt see the lights

but had fun in amongst the streetstocks and cought a gsx 750 and honda 900 witch was having traction problems in the wet

Race two was not raining now but was windy but had a good race chasing the pre82 gsx750 witch i managed to hold onto all race.
Race 3 was blowing still but the track was mostly dry so was able to push a bit more but still a bit carefull off the end of thr straight as there was a stream running across as you entered the sweeper but got ahead of the 750 by i few seconds-hes not in my class but last round i couldnt keep up with him so im happy

Good things to come out of the weekend-droping a tooth on the front has made the bike alot better around the track,dunno what my times were but must have been faster cos i was keepin up with the streetstocks and passing some of them

.
They say you should try to learn something every raceday so 1/DO NOT have a big feed of hot and spicy kfc the night before a meeting - dont need to tell anymore

and i need ballet lessons cos if/when i bin i want to look gracefull so LOSTINFLYZ im willing to pay for lessons seeing as you seem to have had some practice on sunday

but seriously heal quick mate.
So enuff from me looking forward to round three and it better be dry

are you trying to say i was not graceful flying down the road on my arse. Jerk!

just kidding. nah the very short amount of time i saw you out there you looked to be much more comfy on the bike, and starting to find some good pace. A few more days out will do you wonders.

See ya out next time. Just remember only cool kids crash.
