    Great work out there dude!
    You had me worried for alot of the time out there I thought you were going to beat me on your first race out!
    You made a damn good effort of that and with such stiff competition for the CHCH boys you can truly say that you kicked arse on your first race!

    Do I sense the death of a commuter here? I mean bugger it, why change it back, its only 3 weeks to the next round and the Gixxer will do for getting to work

    Loved the write-up Gaz, it's the only way I get to know what goes on during a race day and your buzzing is infectious!

    Not the best day with the camera for me, but here are some pics anyway.
    We will get together at some stage and I will give you the rest.

    Damn I wish the field was that big when I was racing streetstocks in 2006. Got 1.27 on a CBR250. 1.33 on a 150 on your first meeting is awesome. Congrats. What were the guys who won the races on? 250's or 150's?

    You did really well man. I was very impressed when you qualified 7th on your first go on the bike (not that I was expecting less). Was really good watching you battle with Malcom. It was a pity that it came to an end on the hairpin. Maybe you'll get him next time.
    While you sit there liking things just cos' everyone else does, I'll be standing up here keeping it real.

    Thank you all so much for all your comments and support. I have to say I've been over whelmed with it throughout the weekend and the feed back I've had on here. What a fanTAZtic bunch of people.

    I am just going to add that I am "thinking" about "maybe" entering in the last round but will have to see. I'm sure there's another battle or two to be had with Malcom

    Thanks again everyone

    Bloody well done Gary,1.33 on a slightly oiled track is an awesome first time out effort,Hope you can get to the last round as its always good to see the streetstock 150 class growing and Im sure you will improve from last round
