    The only reason I only ride in the Iron man Class is I have no friends left to enter the two man events,
    my own fault really.

    Bloody fantastic report Sudeep and really good to see you get down for the meeting, Manfeild is abit bumpy but it shit's all over Puke once you get the hang of it!!!!
    Was sorry to see you go down but you crash well and it didn't seem to knock your confidence too much.
    Was a brilliant day racing, I arrived at the track and was not very excited about the day to follow which is VERY strange for me. got out there for practise and found my enthusiasm!!!! It was a little damp for practise and I was racing on slicks for the first time (BIG thanks to Gary @ GP Trading in Tauranga for the slicks!!!!!!)
    The racing was awesome and the conditions perfect. Once the final race was finished I was abit gutted as I wanted more. My best finish was 6th, that was all good!!!!
    Be great to see a few more of you Auckland racers down here for this series as it is put together really well. The Vic club guys that work to get these events running are bloody great guys!!
    Darryll, Mel, Steve, jeremy and everyone else who works so damn hard so we can go out and have fun THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    Power is nothing without control.

    Nice work somkey!! That is quite and achivement on your bike, well done indeed.

    So what is this that I am hearing about you getting a new bike? Did you win lotto in the weekend and now your already getting the K4??

    How fast you look definetly has it's place I reckon (I am still stuck on getting a hump from K'Rd ... speedhump that is!). How do the boots feel? When I got them at first it was uncomfertable but now it's all sweet!

    I won't be bringing out the GSXR on road rides anymore though, unless if it was a special ocassion. I was quite happy with my race results and I know exactly what I have to do to be where I want to be. So that bike is probably going to be a full time race bike now.

    I'll still come on road rides on some other bike though.

    Thanx Mitch! Between races, I got the chance to get up to the stands and watch you race. You looked good out there!! Do you use tire warmers btw? I don't think I saw them at your pit area.

    P.S. Ofcourse... I forgot to thank the race organisers. Thanx to you lot for a brilliant day of racing!!

    Nice report bro and only too happy to help!

    Sterling effort for the first time at the track and good effort getting back on the old horse after crashing. I wish my first go at Manfield was as good as that.

    That's tops!

    Oh and get some bloody tyre warmers would ya!

    Smokey! Shot mate, good luck with getting the K4!

    Mitch, wicked starts on Saturday and great results (you doing better without Craig in your way )

    SVS - bummer bout the crash but some nice riding all day too - you were definitely making some good corner speed on the SV. Have you exorcised Bluninja's demons since you bought it?

    Couple of 'Leckie blankets'll do the trick.

    Or you could just get yourself a pre '89 shitter like me so we can enjoy some epic battles trackside.

    And at the pub.

    And on the net.


    .....text messaging, the possibilities are endless!

    Yep I was thinking of buying some electric blankets from the warehouse and modifying them into shape, size and temperatures etc

    BTW, you can always "borrow" your ex bike from that Weener fella for a nice little thrash at the track couldn't ya?
