not many did. nice to be able to move, and ball-sweatingly hot without being pressed in a crowd.

makes me somewhat concerned about future viability though, with such small crowd numbers.

jelly, were u on commentatorial duties? i never listen to them so don't pay much attention

The organisers and the competitors did a brilliant job with what they had, is how I'd put it.
Have enjoyed this meeting more in the past with bigger fields and much more merchandinsing etc, I for one would buy a T shirt if 1 was available in a size over 2XL, which was the absolute limit for every one of the 3 or was it 4 tents selling official ones.
The track and the places you can be around it is amazing, I hope more racers register for next year and I also hope the organisers get advertising out there sooner and in much more places.
Paeroa you did yourselves proud,the welcoming and helpful people of Paeroa were out in force, the shops were open, Ratbag couldn't help diving into the Antique shops as we passed them, no worries gave us boys an excuse to sit down somewhere with shade and have an icecream or two.
Racers, I take my hat off to you guys and girls, that road surface is F...ed up to hell and gone in some very important places and still you all managed to make getting around there at speed look easy, glad to see there was only one crash this afternoon of any note, hope the rider and machine are all good.
Going back next year? I want too, I probably will,we've got to do our part and attend, to make it all worth while, afterall.

true, but I enjoyed what was there.

numbers on bikes to identify riders? Seem random. Occasionally unable to identify bike manfacturer.

would have brought a program at the entrance if available or in ticket price. Want to know in advance so I can be prepared.

never been before. Had trouble identifying the bike entrance from the south, found it eventually. And some shade and a seat, badly needed.

yes hot in the sun.

a local gate steward thought the numbers were down from previous year.

agree Paeroa did itself proud by its running of this event.

well worth it, the various bike types and riding styles made it varied and good to watch.

was that the side car, only got a fleeting look during one of the practise runs in the morning. Next time will try to get there earlier and get round the place for a better look.

most punters buggered off before the final race which was a beaut, as it was my favourite side car class and I was directly opposite the first corner........

the first corner had had some impressive riding both round it and some bailouts........ 9/10
