    To clear any misunderstandings; Karl Morgan is not Avalon's brother or half brother, he kindly lent her a set of leathers to get her started and she is still wearing them while waiting for a new set. Karl, along with Dave Manuel and Gary Cunningham, also coaches Avalon and anyone else interested at the Auckland bucket track . Pity about Pukekohe not being suitable for 150 racing, would it be possible to put a chicane on the front and back straights just with cones to give the 150's an Akld track? Got to be a good development class rather than the expense and maintenance of 125GP.
    Regarding Australia Avalon finished 8th in the final but for the Red Bull series there is bonus points for 5 riders judged by three independant people for MACS; Marketability, Attitude, Character and Skill. Bonus points of 8,5,3,2,1. She got second highest and the 5 extra points moving her to 5th overall for Red Bull series but I think remains on 8th for the Australian championship so far. 21 riders at Oran Park, less than expected, probably because bikes too expensive - must come from Honda Australia. First round for Juniors was on the basic figure 8 of Oran Park circuit, fairly big compared to Kart tracks and small for a GP circuit. Karts do use some of this end of the track with extra wiggly bits chucked in as well.

    Oi, i resent that man!!

    Stones on my street are to blame.. im gonna email the counsil soon... they need to be swept!!

    Belt drives are sooo much better than chains, they just need better stone protection..

    Either that or work on your clutch control....it has no HP, but plenty of belt snapping torques eh?? Not good when ya drop th clutch....we can ask a rental car (pulsar, blue) about that..........
