Wasn't those guys but one of my funniest moments racing was thinking I was getting in late on the brakes, grab a handful, just as a mate goes past me hooking another gear.....makes you feel real mortal!

The corner just before the hairpin at Paeroa has always made my sphincter do odd things.
In theory the bikes just settled down after being airborne, it's blind, fast and you know as soon as you get around you've got to brake .... very very hard !

The hill at puke. Passing slow cunts round the outside is a blast, except when they wise up to you and run you into the weeds at 100mph.

Also turn 1 at puke, the bumps from the horse poo makes things interesting. Especially with little to no suspension and rubber bands for tires.

reminds me of an incident back in UK. I was at a track day at Snetterton... T1 is a fast right hander. I had been getting later and later on the brakes all day (or so i thought) last session i thought i had left it too late and was having a "oh F**K moment...when Jamie Whittam came past me still tapped out in 6th.... to make that corner you had to brake and change down at least one gear...he hadnt done either yet!!!!!!!!! I made it and by the time i had composed myself he was around T2 and out of sight.

Humbled and in awe..............
