A Big Thanks must go to Grant Collingwood

That a side, I am fully keen to be up there to provide facts and figures to their ear when required....
Wanganui was Classic, when Neil and Spyda were trying to work out what the heck Chappy (neil_cb125t) was riding..... Of course there is no way one can keep tabs on what all 180 or so riders are up to this year... Especially Wanganui.

.

for the Nationals I have tried to get a commentators sheet filled out by as many competitors as I can, this includes a bit about mechanics and team members too. My flight schedule for the first round meant a portion of the pits was empty on my first loop, plus as you'd probably guess It takes a long time to do a loop of the pits for me, my mouth does more laps than my legs so I didn't get to every rider there but overall I got a positive response with a few rock stars saying I know enough already, either superbike riders or the 16 year olds....
I'll have more for Levels for others that weren't handed in and these will follow us on all the rounds.
As for Chappies bike, I'd followed a little of it's build here on KB so knew it was an ER6 pony and when we were trying to work it out it was interesting that myself and Neil Ritchie both tuned our ears in on the very next lap to try and hear what it is, the last thing I wanted to do was have an on air cock fight with another commentator as you'd guess.
You can bet that in the future that story will be retold as we recall the history about the bike that was so knew we didn't know about it too
The little boys, and girls; out there need to know they're as important to this sport as the big boys and need to know that the commentary is a much more important tool in their racing these days with the internet etc.
Their sponsor may not be interested in going to the track but they are more likely now to follow the pace with their wireless while they're doing something else.

As for the offer of the 'Hand' in the tower, I'm reading that two ways, am I normal????

All good points Spyda, thanks flr that.
You are right in saying that the young folk are just as important as the superstars...
Heck, they are our next Superstars.

Sponsors can indeed listen in on line... and the other folk listening in on line, can also hear the sponsor if they are spoken about in the commentry.....

As for being normal... you are far from it...
Assistance wouldn't be appropriate either then????
