    That start had to have been one of the scariest starts ever. Tapped knowing there is a drain but not being able to see it due to roost. Good little pile up going on there to.

    A pretty good race all in all. Although my body feels like its been in a concrete mixer.
    I got a reasonable start, considering that I had to start way over by the far fenceline and was about 20th through the small drain but lost a few places by going too far up the hill. Thanks for the vid of the start Katoomer. Didn't see all the spills on the ditch as they were behind me. Looks like carnage
    Came 73rd according to MY LAPS although I did the 4 laps, they drop off one lap for scoring as we old farts only officially had to do 3 laps. Was about the 40th if you take into account the last lap. Son Logan was talking himself up on the start and it was freakin awesome to let him eat some good ole Tarawera cowshit as he got smoked.
    I will take my hat off to him tho as he snapped his clutch lever off at the bolt and virtually did the whole race without a clutch and still finished 104.
    Track was bumpy as, but that also made it harder which is not a bad thing at all . Saying that it was still easily rideable(if that makes sense). Numbers were down and hopefully that is purely because of the economy.

    T100 still rocks.
