Good on the lad, out there and doing it and briniging in a great result. Well done Daniel.
Here is a link to the very short story on NZSBK: http://www.nzsbk.com/2011/04/daniell...d-spot-in.html
Motorcycle racing does not rate highly in NZ..... Be nice if that'd change if we're going to start having more and more success stories!
"Some people are like clouds, once they fuck off, it's a great day!"
it is nothing about not ranking highly, you may get it on the news if you can get a a half decent press release on it, they news may not print it, the press will not go out of there way to find this, but if you supply it to them they sometimes run it
can you find anything else but the nzsbk story, because i can not???
(ps: Congrats Ian for getting something up at least)
Yeah, I hear ya!
I do wonder about the younger generation (up and comers) not being important in marketing terms in general and if this has to do with the lack of reporting on this particular race or not?
I am a little bummed that many mainstream NZer's don't get how hard it is for Kiwi's to *make* it overseas and stories like this are great for people to read!

Awesome Daniel!!!! Such a rad little dude too YOU CAN DO IIIITTTT!
well done Dan.......as for news reporting of this event..........even surfing in scotland got a mention tonight.....i guess no pictures..no story.......
No!We offered him one for the Nationals as I was aware he had been accepted for this Ninja cup,
But Glen (His dad) decided they should concentrate on the 125 GP machine.Although Daniel was keen as,He just wants too race motorcycles as much as he can,Awesome attitude and commitment.
Was made aware this morning by the current MNZ president that I had missed out a MAJOR player in the establishment of Daniels career.
John Connor from the AMCC was indeed the person instrumental in getting Daniel started in bucket racing at the Mt Wellington kart track and is in fact with Daniel as his support while hes competing over there.
My humblest apologies too John and his team including Keith Biddle,These guys also do a huge amount of work with the Junior roadrace scene in Auckland,We just need a link to the Streetstock/Prolite class at that end of the island and we'll be starting to make some real progress.
Guess this makes ME a liar as well now,Hope Bill and Ben arent watching,Bwahahahahahaha!!
Good riding Dan !
