So. who won the raffles?

Oh and Daryl or DSS has got my old resurrected R1, and it is good to see that he is treating the bike with the respect that it deserves.

Is that right Swanny? I saw his/your R1 at Puke the day Daryl came off and was hospitalised, and not for one moment did I know it was your old one! Daryl, it's great you've overcome your injuries and are back at the track.

Glad to hear you had a great time, sorry I couldn't join you.

I had an awsome time.
I rode down there on saturday with ranzer, it rained the whole way so we were pretty thoroughly soaked by the time we got to Taupo.

The weather on sunday was a mixed bag to say the least. It was sunny enough to dry out my gear a bit from the ride down, but there were a few heavy showers (that prompted many to leave early).
I thought I was really lucky, in my final track session the track had dried out enough that it wasn't a problem.
Then it pissed down again, really heavily.
But after it stopped, when I headed home it was fine all the way, really nice weather!
So nice that I decided to take a detour at Huntly and take the scenic route up Hetherington road and SH22.

The bike ran about as well as it's ever run. And it was a hell of a lot of fun on the track.

Thanks heaps for organising it Frosty!

[flash]

were you the one on the zeal racing?, gees you were fast on that naked 250, thrashing the guy on the hyosong

very good! the whole weekend was a minter. rode down by myself as per my ussual preference and got shat on with rain the whole way (you cagers are pussys) got there first, chucked shit in the dryer and took a nice long shower to get everything back into proportion (cough) got everything set up and noticed juzzer and yoshi in the back there. sweet!
Hit that lovely resturant/bar and had a good time there, shame there wasnt that whole 18+ thing going on but it wasnt too bad. got back to the motel and hung around for a while, the booze wasnt really doing it for me so took a early one. I did get some footage of juzzer playing with a girl a bit younger than him but thats been recorded over. I think your in juzzer, she seems keen!

woke up at 6:30 and saw the mint day and felt pretty stoked that we paid that taxi driver $2 for good weather, sorted shit out and follow people to the track eventually. Good to see the great turnout, lots old faces and new faces.

Had a good play on the minimoto but shamefully I wont ride one again without a helmet, those things are dodgy as going full blast.

I left just after lunch, I really wasnt keen to hit that track after a rain, it was good though 80% of my ride home was in sun which was a welcome relief after the ride down. Met up with dover about 30-40k out of taupo which err.... made my trip to auck a bit more intresting and .... well time flies by when your having fun.... cough.

I btw, have the most luck out of anyone I know. I saw 7-8 cops on the way home and didnt have an encounter with any, although I had a scare before the autoban.

anyways. I hope you guys all got home safe and I'll see you next trackday!

edit: and hi to the blue (yamaha?) road/dirt bike on the way back to auckland from papakura, nice bike.

Wicked day at the track...and what rain??? Few drops and a bit of thunder & some people give up & pack up. Geez... Harden up!

Borrowed a wee digi cam for the day but I'm not all that impressed with the pics. Here's a few tho.... Im sure other's will have better shots than me.

Cool to put some more faces to names. Hope everyone gets home safe & sound.

Here's a few of the pics that I took that turned out ok.
Will upload more when a gallery for the event is created.

Yep, I was on the zeal. Don't know about thrashing anyone though, it wasn't a race.

still you went damn fast, i didnt think a naked 250 would look fun on a track

[RiderInBlack]

Back home now in Whangarei. Had a fu*ken good time dispite the rain. Glad the ride home was dry but. Will catch-up with all the BS tomorrow

[FROSTY:Me]

thanks a million to everybody that came along, a really special thanks to all those who marshalled and did the 'behind the scenes' work that you guys did not see. I am really sorry I had to shut down early, but the sweeper had literally become a sea of rocks and debris. It was totally unrideable.

Cheers again Frosty for organising the day. Pass on my thanks to all the behind the scenes dudes too. Shouldn't worry about calling the day early. Everyone probably made the decision to pack and go home/get pissed anyway. Right get yourself away now and start organising the next one. Cheers
