Well done Scott. Really good event. As a spectator it seemed to go smoothly . Good racing with most riders hitting he dirt at some stage either by getting block passed or sliding on that dirt. It must of been more slippery than it looked .Couldn't believe Josh losing the front end and crashing twice in one race. Hope Groombridge is ok, his crash on the triple was nasty.
The young Aussie rider Jackson Richardson on the KXF250 was impressive.Big future ahead.
Hope it was successful financially for you guys .The spectator numbers seemed a little light with quite a few driving out after seeing the $40 entry price..their loss.

did not really get the crowd we needed, but i am stoked with the racing, it is a credit to Mason's track building skill that we ran a practice day and a race day with 1 injury combined,

Brad Dislocated one shoulder and broke his other collar bone,

Poor Brad, the fulla was riding well too.

Do you think you will run the event again Scott? I thought the turnout was pretty good.
I will definately go again next year if it is on again and at the same time (hopeing to get a dry Summercross next year!!)
Just got to sort the food stalls out

I thought it was an awesome event anyways and you guys did an exellent job

personally i will not be fronting cash to be a promotor again, i gave it 2 good goes and lost out finacially both times, i tried it and gave it my best shot, the racing on the 30th was unreal, in both senior classes and the junior 250f's.

if someone else wants to give it a go i will help them every way i can, i still beleive in sx in nz and know we can put on a great show, twice now i have shown that, but the costs to run the show are pretty big,

the plan this year is to ride myself alot more anyway,

Good on you, it will be good to see you riding more at Puke and maybe some Patetonga rounds?

As always its hard to get the NZ public in the gate, but good on you for doing an awesome job of it anyways

**scott411** · 3rd January 2011, 16:54

we are talking about all the staff riding the patetonga round of the nationals,
Me on my RM125,
Craig on his KX450F
Jimmy on his RM!25
Hamish on his KX250
Aaron on his KX125
and Hayden on his RM250

So i guess youll be there next weekend for a quick revisor on the track then. Craig Brown should go MX1 i reckon to give me one position in the vets (ha ha).

**scott411** · 3rd January 2011, 16:59

not to sure if i will get there next weekend, went out riding at Exton's farm today and that was awesome,

**arj127** · 3rd January 2011, 17:01

Yeah, sure beats the family bbq i had to go too.

Later Scott

Didn't even know it was on? Would have been there with my boys if I had. Where was it advertised?

**mfordy** · 3rd January 2011, 19:57

Awesome day Scott but squeezing that fourth round really did it for my boy - he was knackered!..
Bugger to hear you won't be doing it again but I understand where you coming from.
