    This time it was just a dislocated wrist but still needed to go to surgery in tauranga, hayden and i touched in the first corner and we both crashed

We all did quite well in the hospital stakes, only needing to take the ambo on the track once at the end of the day.

    The event was basically PAID for out of one man/womens Pocket, and I am very very sure those people have lost at least $10K to help run this event.

    They fed all the track staff and the riders and crew, they even put on the free beers for those who wanted it.

    Yes this money could have gone on other flasher things, but it is only the start of things to come, and the organisers wanted it to be a fun meeting, and it really was.

    Thanks to all the corner workers.
    at the end of one of your races i saw you looking down at the right hand side of your bike out of turn 1, did something pack up on it?

    Good to hear it was a good meeting! I was in Taupo but had to pass the race due to family reasons.

    I'm gutted I missed the last round of the awesome Tri series. I hope to be back next year!
