    LIVE at Taumarunui

    Well sort of live....
    We arrived at 8:15pm Friday night to find a gaggle of tents already set up. Everyone in good spirits as a warm summer evening and a few beers does. Injury has already taken it's toll and Henk may not ride due to an evening Roller Blade incident. The kids have already posted some good times on their bicycles this morning. More later...

    Well... Henk just got back with a plaster cast from the Dept of Anotomical Corrections in Taumarunui.

    They day has been good with 'qualifying' races seeing a good bunch of quick riders, we believe there may be more to come tomorrow???

    We are looking at the clear weather window between 10am and 1pm tomorrow to get the main racing in.

    20 buckets signed in for todays action.

    That's the problem with you bike riders always finding excuses not to work on your rides, hurry up and get that sidecar finished

    We awake to much wetness, forecast looks like rain for most of the morning so I think we will eat our bacon sandwiches and get on with it as soon as we can.

    I will try to get a photo of Henk while he is looking his worst first thing.

    With Age + Injury maybe he is incapable of putting them on himself. Everyone at the track needs to pitch in to hire him a personal helper for the weekend.

    Race One

    A Grade 10 lap race- started feverishly but soon settled to a bunch of 3 at the front and a bunch at the rear, Gavin, Kelly and Rick leading the pack. A few position changes mid pack with Ryan, Adrian and Malcolm. Ryan errd onto the grass at one point but regained to stay with the bunch, late in the race Adrian conceded to lapping riders inadvertantly letting Malcolm and Ryan through at the same time. The race looked done and dusted with a typical Gavin NI Series win when suddenly an engine failure on his FXR handed Kelly the lead with for an easy finish. All other participants had a good ride with no other incidents to report.

    Henk didn't race as his arm doesn't seem to work at the moment.

    B Grade 10 Lap- Helen lead for about 2 thirds of the race suddenly caving in to engine noises from behind to let Joshua through. Billy the Kid langished in a hard fought 3rd due to insufficient engine power but has promised to steal his Dads bike while he's not looking. All others finished happily without incident.
