why thank you MR,................. I think ... mate....

Cheer up fella, you are a 20 year old just like me at heart

Went to the last Hawkesbury road race,which if you're ever in Blenheim is worth riding/driving around

Went to the last two 6 hour races at Manfield and the first of the Sound of Thunder meetings when they were just glorified club days

I attend at least 14-15 meetings a year all over the South and sometimes the North Island,many as a competitor and have raced at every current track,in either a 250 Superkart,F1 sidecar or on a bike

And thats not including going to the quads,motorcross etc

Hell, I remember Hawkesbury, thats going back abit! Went to all the World Superbikes at Manfield, pitcrewed at 2 or 3 Castrol 6 hours, organised (and raced at) road races at Golden Downs and Port Nelson, been to most of the South of Thunders (doesnt seem as good as it use be , remember when the Oz guys came over? Owen Coles on the Bimota DB1 etc?) Get to as many as possible.

I forgot Nelson,raced there and at Greymouth for the first time last year and sadly I hear that this year is quite possibly the last one for Nelson and a changed track from last year.

Ran my Darmah at an Italian Day when we used the Lady Wigram circuit and also raced a a bucket at Wigram

A few Aussies still come over for the Sound of Thunder,but I remember the DB1,I've got a photo of it somewhere,that was when the Sound of Thunder was the largest motorcycle event in NZ

Either this year or next I will also do the Wanganui street race as a competitor in the sidecar class
