What a shocker of a day, I managed a good start - rounding the first corner in 4th and then it just got worse. Suspension was too stiff, kicking me around the place, crashing, washing out, clipping trees and eventually a big crash made me pull out. Lucky to escape injury and I pulled out cause I just didn't wanna risk it anymore. Finshed 9th in class, disappointing after a 2nd in class and 3rd Expert overall at Matata but never the less, I'll be back.
Definately the highlight was the endurocross section by the pits, tractor tyres and logs. Good fun. I think that bit of the track is what I looked forward to the most! Didn't see many of the clubman doing the endurocross section, it wasn't as hard as it looked to be honest. Definately a cool feature to the race.
On another note, I went to a Thames Valley clubday today, just at their track at Rhodes Park in Thames - a nice flowing, flat, natural terrain motocross track. If you have not been there before I would suggest it. Lester Yates and his team run a well organised day, nice and low key with a fun track all classes under the sun, including quads. If you want to give the next round a go, keep an eye on
www.silver-bullet.co.nz. Details are usually up the week before the race.
