    We walked the track this morning, nearly arsed up several times. even if it had dried out it was still lined with hay bales soaking wet with water and that shit was slippery. Plus I wouldn't want to crash into one that now weighs 5times what it did when it was dry. While it was disappointing not being able to race I believe the decision was the right one, and im glad I wasnt shoveling piles of broken shit into the back of my truck.

    Thank you for a comment from someone in the know! Must say I was disappointed to turn up and see the roads dry to find its cancelled but you guys know best so brave call but from your comments mean it was probably the right one.

    My comisserations to the Paeroa people who I would imagine have their biggest days takings for the year on this 1 day.

    I reckon that slight uphill right hander with the camber change at the top would have claimed a heap of riders-I stood on the camber in good grip bike boots and slid for about 2 meters.-You have to feel sorry for the Paeroa shops,but there is next year.

    That hairpin would have claimed more than a few too. I fully understand why the PTB cancelled. I remember when they ran out of ambulances down there a few years ago and the meeting finished several races early.

    I know a few competitors that were privately shitting their pants that they were going to run it in those conditions.

    Didn't they realise they didn't actually have to race if they dont want to?

    One competitor in three classes, 'a few' does not make.

    Meh, it served its purpose as an excuse for couple of days riding instead of work...

    Oh no, he didn't have a problem at all. He thought that given the conditions it would be a great idea to have one all in race, sidecars included, winner takes all the prize money.
