[riffer]

Nice work fella. Good to see see someone doing it the old fashioned way, with hard work.

[GSVR]

Can't believe the bad luck you had with your bike after all the consistant results down south.

For those that didn't know. Glen had to fit a new engine at Manfeild when his gearbox failed on the practice day and at Puke he had to use a borrowed bike after another mechanical problem (possible valve spring broken).

Congratulations Glen you must be relieved to have finally got the last few remaining points to secure the title.

[Keystone19]

Took you long enough!

Congrats Glen. It's been awesome mate!

[Nicksta]

Awesome Stuff Glen!!!
i'm looking forward to learning from you and the best in F3 next nationals
well done dude!

Unfortunately Glen, it is almost certain that MNZ will now introduce an (uncharacteristically enlightened) rule that anyone over 40 who has already won a F3 title must retire to post-classics (proposed clause 58.3.2: `... especially anyone whose last name is Williams or Fitzgerald (68yrs - the shaven mo' aint foolin anybody).
Quite right, and will give the 35-40 yr old `youngsters' a fair chance at F3 next season.

Well done Glen, you worked hard for it mate!

Hi Guys,
Thanks for the congratulations. This season taught even an old fella like me a few things, - for you up n comers.
1) Patience on the track - even in sprint races there are patterns, strengths & weaknesses that develop with both yourself & your competitors.
2) Pre-season preparation of machinery & testing this to the limit as much as possible early on - so as to always find the way forward.
3) Invest in good gear for both man & machine & brands that have technical support at the track.
4) Always surround yourself with positive & knowledgable people at the track - that seek solutions to problems & who can observe & be critical of your weaknesses (& strengths)
5) Carry plenty of spare parts.............
6) Pray that if you do have a problem , its not during a race & you have enough helpfull hands around to sort it out FAST !

Cheers to everyone involved & to the kiwibikers who popped in & said hello at the track.

Glen Williams

Well done big fella!:

Are you going to be back with the #1 plate in 09 to defend the title?

[johnsv650]

well done on your awesome riding, are you defending title next year, how much was down to suspension set up pre-season ?
watch those valve springs..........

[codgyoleracer]

well done on your awesome riding, are you defending title next year, how much was down to suspension set up pre-season ?
watch those valve springs..........

Am taking my time & enjoying some rest before making the decisions on next year, I reckon that suspension is 60% quality equipment, 15% technical support & 20% rider skill & feedback / machine aspect set-up + 5% luck

Well done this year Woodsie & Eric
Cheers
Glen
