Nelson Street Race

[Shorty_925]

Went to the Nelson Street race for the first time this year, and what a brilliant street meeting. One of the best Ive ever been to. Well worth the trip down, only wish I had taken a bike to race there!

[wharfy]

Yeah was pretty good I went and watched for the first time as well. Might see if I can manage to get the 675 down there next year.

Huge thanks to everyone involved for an awesome day!!

& to the weather gods for holding the rain off till packup time!!!

There's only 6 of us on the organising committee... armed with a small army of awesome dedicated helpers!!! Over the past few years that I've been involved, I've discovered the ''behind the scenes'' workings of putting on such a massive event is mindboggling! There's an unbelieveable list of T's to be crossed & i's to be dotted.. & rules & regulations that have to be followed to the letter! Enough to make anyone wonder why do it... but then I discovered.. come the end of race day... all that is irrelevant!! Coz the day is freakin AWESOME!!!!!!!


We look forward to seeing you all... & more of you... next year!!!!

Was the first time at Nelson for me, really enjoyed the day (apart from some electrical problems making me miss round 2),
only thing that would make it better would be if they run Buckets, the track would be awesome on a bucket, it would help numbers in Pre82 and maybe F3 as well, as most bucket riders have another bike that would fit into those classes as well (just a thought, there's most likely a good reason why they don't run Buckets (f4) now).

Many thanks to the organisers and setup crews, I know what is involved in bringing a days street racing together, roll on Methven

Cheers
