Hi Scrivy, thanks for neat event. Due to being a complete wombat I had same number on both my F4 & F5 bike (only a problem when separating by class, but hey - at least they were very clearly marked) so although I came in 2nd in F4 on sunday I was on my liddle 50 so should be in F5 not F4 results. I got the 1st trophy for F5 so no drama.

I'll try use my brain next year & mark different numbers.

I will need PMs from the junior class riders if they want to do it this year. I will need to see if it's still a goer or not from them. I hope it is.....

As for the wet - yeah, we too were nervous about so much water, but the 2 MNZ stewards told us to continue, and we were keeping a very close eye on the happenings. Like I said before, there were less crashes in the wet race than from the previous dry days racing!! That is a credit to all the riders/teams in the endurance race. Fancy all riders receiving a finishers mug too!!

Yes it was wet but nothing like when Manfield was under water (VMCC R4). Even though it was a race, a lot of teams were using Wets and those that didn't just rode a lot more carefully and smoothly.

Its only when you get horizontal rain before you need to worry
