Well... 2008, my plan knowing that it will likely be my last year to go hard turned out some what bloody good actually.
I raced in the BEARs winter serious, MCC south Is cup and with the BMRC in both post classics and F4 aka buckets. My pre 82 is a 350LC and the bucket was a MT 125 replica running a MB100 engine (see here for pics http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/album.php?albumid=750
Well it was an interesting year with my 1st crash on the track in the one hour F4/F5 race on my CB125T. I had DNF's and I had wins, I had blow ups and brake downs all this resulting in 4 trophys.
1st BMRC F4 classic supers... 6 rounds ruapuna
1st MCC south Island cup PC82... 3 rounds @ Levels, Teratonga & Ruapuna
2nd BEARs winter series PC82... 6 rounds ruapuna
3rd MCC south Island cup F4... 3 rounds Levels, Teratonga & Ruapuna
So I reckon I done good achieved what I set out to do and that was to get in the top 3 placings in these events, some of it was luck some of it was, well 1/2 decent riding I guess along with some nicely sorted bikes.
The race after a win on the 350 LC, the bike blew up in practice at Greymouth, the buckets have been sold for a new project next year, so unsure what 09 will bring but if possible I will be back track side but taking it easier cos it sure as hell got out of shape a few times because 80% of the time I was riding my best.
But its not quite over yet, thers still the Taupo gig to deal with,
