Yeah I heard you crashed on my broken wrist corner Rich. Glad you got away with it better than I did.

Yeah review the plans!! I am gonna get my bucket fully finished and fully tested within the next 2 weeks. My last exam is in 2 days so will have plenty of time before Roys Hill. Can't wait to race again. It's been 2 months. Also looking forward to riding at a new track. I have only ever raced at Kaitoke and at Slipway a couple times (which to be fair... it sucks haha).

Not really. The prizegiving ones in particular are mostly crap. I blame this largely on the fact that I'm retarded and it had been a long weekend.

Yep got away with it. This time. Only scary bit was when I court up with the bike and it smacked me in the face.

Good to see some pics of the day. Good work. Nice to see I am in front of fish in most of them. Doesn't tell the true story, but I can live with that. I think I might have to invest in a waterproof race cam. Would have been some good footage.

Got a waterproof race cam and had a play with it at the last Mt Welly meet. The only downside is that the lens is so small that although the camera doesn't get drowned in the wet the smallest drop of water in the wrong place makes the resulting footage a blur. Thought about chucking it on the bike sunday but in the end couldn't be arsed.

Yeh that is an issue. The can't be arsed bit and the water bit.

Hmm, maybe we could incorporate some of the local vineyards in the board game.

Well the riders sure turned on a memorable day too bad the weather forgot to play its part with a nice fine day, that didn't stop 23 starters 10 in Maidstone Yamaha A grade and 13 in Motorad B grade racing hard in what can be said the wettest day I have ever had the pleasure of racing in, at one stage there was rivers flowing down the track that you could drown in, but all up the racing was wicked.

MAIDSTONE YAMAHA A grade saw Andrew Adlam (1NZ) take the day with a (1-2-1) which left him 3rd in the overall championship with (174 points) passing Craig Sullivan (6th-133 points) Adrian Mitchell (5th-148 points) and Richard Ban (4th-165 points) Second on the day with (2-1-2) sees Fishie (Stephen Coombes) take 1st over all with (277 points) and a good solid ride on slicks in the pouring rain sees Caleb Adlam retain his 2nd overall in the championship, will done mate you had some pressure on you for sure, a good effort

MOTORAD B grade was once again a mixed bag with the championship leader failing to show which opened the way for George Vaculik-Hamilton to start his title chase, but there was other plans for George today as he made it hard on himself from the get go with an off in the first race while leading getting back on to finish 7th. With a 3rd and a 2nd in the last two races was enough to claim the title with (195 points) six clear of 2nd place Mark Hodson (189 points) James Patrick had another good day taking his 1st win in race one following that up with a 5th and a 4th to take 3rd overall with (182 points). 4th overall in the championship was Ben Oxnam with (149 points) a good solid ride with (5-3-5). Trudi Manning slipped something into her husbands Nigel Manning's breakfast on Sunday morning because boy he was flying in the wet weather taking his maiden win in race two, Nigel finished a credible 5th overall with (145 points) putting on a (2-1-4) for the day. I don't know if the smile has gone from the face of young Cameron Page but he deserves to keep it there for a while yet with a grand display of riding for the Stokes Valley teenager not only running on slicks he was 4th in race one, backs that up with 2nd in race two and goes all the way to take his maiden win in race three finishing the day 1st = with Nigel Manning and moves himself up to 12th overall for the championship. Cameron was lucky enough to claim the new HJC helmet that was given away by MOTORAD

TSS RED BARON KING OF KAITOKE CUP was won by Fishie with (277) 2nd Craig Sullivan (213) 3rd Andrew Adlam (211) 4th George Vaculik-Hamilton (195) 5th Mark Hodson (189)

MOTOMART ROOKIE OF THE YEAR was won by James Patrick (182) points 2nd Ben Oxnam (149) 3rd Dale Hoarse (119)
