    Frosty's race report - Nelson

    Well.. what a day.. !!! You guys don't know what you're missing out on not doing the Nelson street races!! I'm still absolutely buzzing from the racing I got to do!!! I entered formula 2 & 3, but managed to burgle a free practice in formula 1. To be totally honest, at the end of my first 4 laps with the formula 1 guys, I thought to myself.. what the ...... am I doing here.. this is fucking insane!! Picture this if you will.. you're hammering down a straight at 150 -200 kmph.. (depending if you're Nicko or slow poke Frosty) & you have to brake & right angle turn into a section of road the size of a frigging driveway!!! thee size you are heading towards is 300mm high kerbing you then gas & go round a series of right angled corners.. so there is very little flow to the track, but somehow it is totally addictive. About a third of the way through the day, Nicko gave me some of his harden up pills, & I actually started to race!! I'd bore you guys with the ins & outs of my performance, but I did well enough to qualify for King of the Port, which is the top 5 finishers in every class, & is a 10 lap, all in race, Motards, formula 1, 2 ,3 etcetc. all crammed on the track, you can imagine the mahem at turn 1 they were all trying to squeeze into the area the size of a driveway, & no one giving ground!!

    Did I have fun today...???? FUCK YEAH!!! will I do it again... darn right!!!!!

    I broke in a new virgin pit bitch today as well.. dropped in at the deep in, as per usual by me.. she did a darn good job by looking after me & Nicko.. I'm sure she'll put her own comments up later!! Here's a few pictures of me & 'Lipstick'
    Best part of the day for me was a huge race long duel in my last race-we must have swapped positions at least 20 times as we duked it out.-On the last lap nicko and the other 2 fast guys went flying past -we were so intent on our own fight I diddnt even register him passing
    Worst part was being right BEHIND diesel pig heading down to the hairpin. Totally committted to the corner I was suddenly looking at a cloud of smoke from his back tyre as he struggled to get his bucking beastie to coast around the corner.
    Scared me so I hat to imagine what was going through his head.
    Met so many cool KBers I really couldnt list them--but all fantastic people


    FROSTY

    Nicko did bloody well getting 2nd in F2.. & 3rd in Bears.. from a spectator point of view, it was some of the most exciting racing of the day!!!!

    The old van unbelieveably loaded down with gear.. next stop Invercargill, if it's anything like todays racing.. I'm gunna be bouncing off the walls for the next month!!!

    And I to my motorcycle parked like the soul of the junkyard. Restored, a bicycle fleshed with power, and tore off. Up Highway 106 continually drunk on the wind in my mouth. Wringing the handlebar for speed, wild to be wreckage forever.

    Pit Bitch for the day...

    Well.. I have a new pass-time.. being a pit bitch!! & I ferkin LOVED it!!!!! I had a bloody excellent day, lookin after FROSTY & Nicko!!! including massaging FROSTY's pink bits... Had a good laugh watchin FROSTY running round the pits, asking every female in sight for pink nail polish!!!!

    Bein pit bitch sure beats just standin round for ferkin hours with ya finger up ya bum, waaaaaaiting for another race, standin behind the wire cages just bloody watchin!!! So I've put me name down with the Nelson Race Club.. for a JOB!!!

    Didn't actually find out till later that evening however, during the presentations at the after race function doo.. that I was actually pit bitchin for one of the top 10 racers in NZ, in Formula 2 (Nicko) & our darlin FROSTY, who cranks up the pace with his harden up pills!!!! So I was mighty impressed with the company I was keepin!!! So roll on the 3rd round of the Nationals in ChCh in a couple of weeks!!!

    Frosty Says......

    FROSTY SAYS......

    It was really cool meeting Rashika & Dangerous, and the Duct tape worked wonders!!!

    Probably the worst point in my day, was being passed by Diesel Pig on the back straight, only to have him promptly Chernobel his bike right in front of me just as I was committed to breaking for the hairpin.. ie: the bloody right angled driveway!! scared the shit out of me, so I hate to imagine what Diesel Pig was thinking!!

    High point of the day was a HUGE racelong battle with another rider in the final race, with the likes of Jarod Love, Nicko, etc right there with us!!!

    well it was great to meet you again Frosty old boy
    and especially getting a chance to see Lipstick in the flesh (so to speak)
    I'm truely sorry but that name has gotta be it you know, it is just the most perfect name for your bike. Now what i wanna know is, does the expensive lipstick live up to its rep...is it TRUELY as long lasting as they claim?

    My writeup will appear later , after work most likely, cos some of us have to keep the country going you know... short story: after racing all day, we drove back to chch last night, arrived at midnight and I am now at work (7am start). Hows that for hard woman stuff huh?????

    Great to meet you Nicko and i was TOTALLY impressed with your riding. It was some of the only racing I was able to watch, seeing both you and frosty in your respective races, loved the BEARS (ofcourse!) and seeing you and Chris (one of our local chch Triumph riders) battling it out was damn shit hot stuff!
    Tho being a true blue cantab I did have to congrat him first for beating ya But I guess it gives you something to work on for next year huh? damn i really should shuddup... but yup was great seeing you guys out there, wish i could ride like that... hopefully catch you all again next year!!!!
