    Well the weather is looking promising,might get away with it before the front comes thru in the evening...
    Going to be a good weekend I reckon, hopefully it will be a tad more satisfying than the unfortuanate washout @ Ruapuna in March, what with a round trip for me of over a 1000km....aaah the things we do for love...

    Wow that was an awesome day!! We (those who took the punt on the weather) were rewarded with a slightly chilly but dry & generally sunny day.
    Because of the slightly dodgy weather forecast possibly putting folk off attending,those of us lucky to make it were treated to a low key, laid back & uncluttered day off blasting round as fast as we dared

    Thanks to the folk from Sportzone Suzuki (Josef) & the volunteers from MC Canturbury for doing the hard yards & being helpful & running a great day.
    We also had the bonus of having Dennis Charlett there for advice as well as doing rider training sessions free of charge !!! Very well done you lot !!

    Because of the lower than expected numbers ,they early on decided to combine some classes....fast B riders would ride with the A's, & slower B's would combine with the C's, which seemed to work out really well I thought.Bonus was that as a B rider I could ride in both, so effectively doubling track time with only a 15 minute break between sessions of 15 mins... I found it really interesting to get in amongst the racers who just cut bold swathes thru us "roadies",but I was able to hang with some of them some of the time & learn a few things,main one being that I aint that fast!! Hope we didnt fuck up to many corners for you
    guys
    I loved the Levels track.The Castrol curve,John Jones cnr & Mckissock curves are lovely fast curves & the Glibert esses & the esses of the long course on to the front straight are quite the challenge @ speed. As a first timer there I really enjoyed it & only made a few blues...coming outta Castrol too wide & runnin' along the grass at 160 odd was interesting ,as well as hittihg a false neutral into John jones cnr...oh & blowing the esses & having to go straight thru.
    Met heaps of good folk,especially Paul & young Jesse on thier R6 & 636 ,nice recovery of the day was definitely Jesse's almost highside outta the gilbert esses. Think for the day there was only about 2 minor offs all up
    Good on everyone who made it ,I think we'd all agree it was a great day

    Yes it was a fantastic day and well worth the effort in getting there (rode up in the pissing rain for 3 hrs on Fri) I just love to fang around on a track it just makes me want to do more and more of it A big thanks to 'Sportzone' for making it happen and it a relaxed and friendly manor, well done to all.
