Wouldn't the 125cc class be a good chance for young Hamish Doyben to test his skills with the bigger boys? or is he running in the youth 125/250 class?

**DrewBroadley** · 30th September 2007, 20:02

I hope missing this round is worth it (awesome results), couldn't make it to the SI national round and Oceania.

Got a friend down there who took photos on my behalf, hopefully I can get some off him shortly.

thier is not youth calss at the senior nationals, Hamish can turn senior if he wants (you can at 15, but have to at 17)
at club days at the stewards discreation he can ride senior, but must forgo his junior licence to race the senior nationals,

not to sure why he has not chosen to go senior, its the best way to get faster if he wants to make in internationally, Chad Reed moved here when he was 15 so he could race senior here, (in australia you have to be 16)

**Buddy L** · 30th September 2007, 20:38

staying where he is might just be under his mother thumb?
you would think you would improve more with running with harder compertion, rather then cleaning up and having a house full of trophies. (whish i had some)
