Bit of a distance issue but what about young Daniel Mettam?
he's dedicated/committed and has an uncanny ability of being able to feed back what he is 'feeling' out on the track. Its a dad and son enterprise at the moment and this lad has talent.

Hey Graham, is Daniel the young fulla from the Auckland area I have been hearing good things about on a 125 at the moment?

Yep that's the one mate.
First had a skid on Avalon's spare bike at the end of last season and hasn't looked back since!

I think Daniel is helped by Wolf Pack Racing.

Haha I thought that might get noticed.........should've said "young whipper snapper" , thats more like it nowadays eh?

Young Sam Croft is a definately a rider who needs a go on a well prepped bike that handles...... very impressive on the KR150 when we saw him earlier in the year at Manfield ( and in a league of his own in the wet)

Plenty of streetstock riders in the south..... the support races in the nats will bring out the shining stars of this year.
Matt Hoogie...... his career path is probebly sorted!
Blake henwood-Sparks....already on a 125 too
Phillip Mair... From down in Winton ...maybe on a superlight 250!
Alex Bowers.... a north islander ( but an honarary southie)

And not forgetting the ladies Scout Fletcher who has been on of the best improvers this season.
And lets not forget Seth Deveruex a hugely talanted young guy who really deserves some backing ( gotta make him see sense and ride something that isnt a kwaka)

If you are down south for the nats Marty this will be the class where your next young hopeful will live.
