Well after the last 4 rounds of constant bike break downs I came into Taupo not really expecting much,
Went out for Scrub session testing to make sure bike ran and testing the power of the new muffler and seeing what new fairing screen was like,
Came in and lined up for 125 Qualifying
Went out threw some laps in struggling with getting the bike to tip in to bends it just didnt want to turn and gearing was wrong I thought I was doing ok coming round out of final chicane and ran out of gas and coasted across line,
Manged to get a 1:59.398 which was pretty shit and put me in last place,
In between races thanks to Richard got my suspension adjusted and new gearing.
125 Race 1
Line up on start line manage a pretty good start up into 3rd place through turn 1 up to turn 2 Ken Puts a massive move on makes it stick I slightly pick it up, Run up to back sweeper and Jayden on the Other VB Yamaha TZ passes me, Running down back straight catch his draft and shoot by under brakes into the chicane, down lap 1 completed start of lap 2, Through turn 1 up into turn 2 and 3 I should be holding it flat but wasnt having the balls and backing off the gas going up to final sweeper, William Shoots past me and in Onto back straight full tuck Jayden runs out and we nearly hit,
Pass Him again on the gas and try drafting William on the 98,
Cant catch a draft manage to finsh this race in 4th as Glen broke down,
Ken Scored enough points to take the title William scored enough to take 3rd place in series,
Manage a best of 1:54.198 in this
125 Race 2
Manage a Shocker start of line but so Do Ken and Jayden,
Ken Shoots By im in 5th place Jayden behind me on lap 2 Ken goes down, Jayden passes me and pulls a gap not the way I wanted the race to go until we hit the back straight and at the 3 1/4 mark the Honda had a better top end power and shot past the yamaha, But the yamaha had better corner exit speed, I cross line and finsih race just ahead of Jayden I was pretty stoked with the race
With a result of 1:53.764
So Over day my times improved,
And with the result of 2 front bikes DNFing I managed enough points to take 3rd overall,
So Would like to Thank
