Nick Cole knocks one off

**RobGassit** · 22nd January 2012, 20:58

To coin one of Nick's own phrases, "Big Ups" to both him and the team for a fabulous result at Invercargill. Kawasaki step up to the plate again!

**eelracing** · 22nd January 2012, 23:03

Shame Stroudy chose slicks, was a bad choice for sure. We haven't seen the best of Nick yet.

Hey, how's Sarah doing?

Cheers Ed, Sarah's finally coming right after her illness. Managed to get 3rd for the round and had pole. Still making small mistakes like poor starts and missed shifts but she's downing the Blackmores vitamins and with some rest should fire back up for the north island rounds. I think you would have enjoyed the Invercargill summer.

Prolite Class has certainly blossomed and we were thinking of Paul B as we braved staying at the track for 4 nights. Billy was off doing ironing or vacuuming or some such,, soft cock ol bugger.

Nice gesture old son thinking of Paul,But to be honest,If he could live his short life again,I think the meeting at Teretonga last year would be 1 part he left out.

Ironing and vacuuming,I think not,Was busy making replacements parts for Harry the Honda cause Sarah forgot you dont win the race on lap 4 when its an 8 lap race (Thanks for that by the way),But I might just chuck them in the rubbish bin now youve called me a softcock and the dog disagrees!!!!!Now wheres that peanut butter???

The way she's going they will be in the bin soon enough. You may as well take her money and spend it on feeding the dog.

One part of me hopes it doesn't happen too often, I partied hard with the family and team that night; woke up feeling like a badger had shit in my mouth! felt like being at Bear Grylls stag do I'm thinking!
the other part of me says yeehaa Nick and Team.
Actually, just spent the last two days travelling back on the Coles Bus, nice way to round off the south island rounds.

I reckon Sarah,s been dropping some of those vitamins in the tank too.. haha.
Seriously... well done .. good results.... she maybe able to improve the poor starts but as for the missed shifts....... lets just say the ninja gearbox is..mmmmm un-predictable...... bit like rollin a dice (sometimes you get a gear / sometimes you dont)

GO THE PROLITES....... GO KAWASAKI .... GO NICK COLE

I would have loved to be there! Hope she's feeling well again, being sick is a drag. She has the talent for sure, as with all top riders you can pick the natural's from the trying hard's. The natural's have an edge in that they have a certain feel for the racing so get better results for the same efforts. Women racers are rare enough, and racer's with the natural ability of Sarah are rarer still.

Doesn't stop them making mistakes, even Stroudy fell off and chose the wrong tyres, but she will always be a front runner regardless what she rides. I was surprised at how much quicker the Honda was over the Kawasaki though.

They go sweet when you take the time. If Sam can leg it from your boy on his battered old 08 then I think you should check out your own setup, before you start slaggin other competitors off!

Faark dude, I know this is KB, but I read Swerve's reply as juts a bit of harmless banter!

No-ones mentioned this either but Deano is looking good, currently 2nd in pro-twin with the NI rounds to go! Pretty frickin sweet if you ask me!

**yungatart** · 25th January 2012, 08:14

Nick is certainly looking good out there. Its an exciting series, that's for sure!
Weill done to all those who are achieving so well!
