Rnd 5 Hampton Downs Updates

Great to see someone took a camera so that those of us who couldn't make it can see some of the races. Will keep an eye for your other footage. Lets hope that Hamptons makes it on to the TV at some point but wont hold my breath.

Yeah, lets hope I get time to put it all together, no idea how it will come out, but that's half the fun.

It should be on TV at some point. Was chatting to an interesting old fella on Saturday who's son works on the TV crew who were filming on Sunday. Says they film it an offer it up for sale to the broadcasters - most likely go to the Sunday slot on TV1 in about 2 months. Really wish it could go up on something like www.speedbox.tv

there were a couple of riders missing from the second 125GP race? the one where three went down on the first lap (about 4pm)......i saw one of them get really pissed off and try and get the officials to let him start since the race was re started anyway.....does anyone know why they missed and or couldn't restart??

Yeah, it was a bit of a pressionary race after that. Its a major pitty the 125GP race on Saturday wasn't filmed it was probably the race of the day. Three way dice between Jaden the other guy and Avalon. Watching those 125's dive into the hairpin was spectacular.

Here'e hoping. I just don't get bike racing here. OK the UK sucks as a country but at least we promote BSB to the hilt and at my home track you are likely to get 10s of thousands of fans. There would be a national outcry if races weren't televised. Most people will travel from one end of the country to the other to watch racing but if for some reason they can't they know it will be on tv. Maybe us POMEs are just a bit gobier and demanding......
Quality aside it is great that you are taking the time to get your vid sorted which has given me a kick to get my Ruapuna Endurance race pics on here as well.

It's a minority sport.

I remember seeing races featuring Wayne Gardner and Mick Doohan on state television once upon a time... *sigh*

Yes. But how many people live in the UK my dear? 'Nuff said.
