    Especially at the age of 15 too! In NZ they'd probably get a bottle of "OSH-regulation" grape juice....

    Brilliant!!Thanks for keeping us informed Hels,

    Excellent result for Daniel and his supporters,Not least of all Jamie and Wes Rajek and the team from wolfpack racing for helping Daniel on his way ,Oh and Peter Jones and the team from MCC for some early intervention as well and the Victoria Motorcycle club for getting him started in roadracing through their junior scholarship with some early training from Steve Bagshaw of Moto Academy,Amazing what can be achieved if everyone works towards a common goal

    Yep, we have some very devoted people within racing in NZ and alot of them (including yourself Billy) do it for little or no gain personally. Its the selfless attitudes like these that gives me heart that we can keep producing more and more skilled riders in the years to come!

    Why thank you YOUNG lady!Its been a pleasure to work with some of the new recruits and Im sure the others mentioned above would agree,Cant wait to see the newly recognised Prolite 250 class flourish and hopefully we will see even more young talents emerge,

    Again a huge thank you is due too the following for the foresight,Knowledge and support in making this happen:

    Peter Jones and Paul Stewart for setting the class in place,

    Jim Tuckerman,Kevin Goddard and Peter Ramage and their helpers on the board and roadrace commission for their guidance and expert instruction too those working in the background too have the class recognised,

    Jos Mason from NZBADD,For showing us all how to deal with the setbacks put in front of us and move forward despite them,You have given Me and all around me the confidence too push on and achieve the goals we set,Oh and some money!!

    Without these people this class would not have happened and this opportunity would not have been afforded us
