Sketchy Racers Rd 5 Race Report and Pics

**Sketchy_Racer** · 2nd October 2009, 16:11

What a weekend!

3 days straight racing, and I am still recovering!

The pace was hot all weekend long and it was great to see the southern boys up here giving us a run, many of them leading the classes so well done to them. Common northerners, pick up the pace

As always a big thank you to the Vic club and all the volunteers that make these weekends possible, you guys are awesome!

I hope everyone had a fantastic weekend, I can't wait until round 6.

Race report and pics are up on www.SkachillRacing.co.nz for those interested.

Cheers,

-Glen

Fit an airhorn so us mere mortals can move aside when being lapped.

Good on time write up Glen cant for the life of me workout how the hell you guys pull 10's.
I personally like the fact that rider fatigue effects some one 20 years younger than myself

and that some one of your calibre knows im actually fast in the wet

Keep up the good work.

Nice report bud! You must take notes immediately after your races to have so much detail in remembering what exactly happened in every race! Great reading and awesome racing bud! (oh and your wheelies were cool in pit area too...on yer pushbike ;-))

More awesome stuff Glen. You remind me of myself when I was young....except you're talented, attractive, well socialised, focussed.......

Yeah, I should have been in the 9's easy as with how well the bike was working

The new bike before next round is more of a fantasy than a reality, got the money, just need the right machine to pop up!

-Sketchy Racers guide to doing 1:10's-

1 - Hang on tight
2 - Shut eyes
3 - Open throttle
4 - Hope for best

Ok so maybe it's not like that. I still can't figure out how the do low 8's on a supersport bike! But I need to figure it out before nationals!

Catch ya next round, maybe it will be wet eh

Haha, nah i'm usually quite slack and don't do my reports until a couple of days later. I don't like writing one bit, but I do like having a archive of racing details that I can look back on in the future.

I wish I could wheelies on a motorbike, push bikes are cheating, they have a rear brake on the handle bar!

Catch ya next round!

I think you have confused me with someone else there Clive!! Again sorry about the bunt I gave you, it was pretty close to a brown trousers moment!!

Cheers,

Ermm...you're starting to sound like you're grooming him.

Well done Glen.................I can see from that pic though why ya didn't crack into the 9's, that blue thing on the headstock weighs too much, shoulda taken it off to gain an extra .0001 kph
