Hi guys, just an update for those who have entered. Entries closed midday Saturday and acceptances have been put in the post this evening. 135 riders on over 160 machines.

All classes except F3 (27) and pre63 (15) are pretty much full.

Yeah... shit house

This was last year, the year before was much the same and we'll be there again this weekend so it should be the same

hahaha - what you have to remember is that the weather report for the coast has an accuracy rate of about 40%. when they say 'west coast' its an area that stretch's from Auckland to wellington.

The best and most accurate is metvu. greymouth is not expecting rain until Tuesday afternoon. - silly boys!!

A little bit of drizzle earlyish, but dry roads for all racing. And a mighty fine day it was, thanks to all organisers and volunteers in making it happen!

And thanks to the riders for providing a great spectacle!!

Apart from the multiple bike pile up in the dirt section and a the "Black Betty" incident on turn 4 in the last Formula Grey race, the day ended up pretty good.

I think Neil should rename black betty the Exon Veldez. He must run 20 litre's of oil in that thing???

cheers, steve
