Didn't see you hanging around Stroudie's pit. You gone soft or something?

Good racing. Buggie just pissed off and left everyone racing for 2nd. Scary how quick that guy is when you look at Gareth Jones, Stroud and Shirriffs. You wouldn't bet on Ray Clee coming in a lonely 4th at Puke, but that's how fast those boys are.

A shame to see the field is shrinking though. The economic climate is definitely hurting a lot of people.

Well that has just made my weekend hearing the great news about those fantastic Aussies winning the Superbike championship again. Well Done Robbie you did us Proud. And also Congratulations to yet another Aussie in Gareth Jones on a fantastic performance throughout the championship.
You got to hand it to them they sure do know how to ride to their limits and come out on top.
Aussie, Aussie, Aussie Oye Oye Oye.

Wish i could have gone and watched these rounds, congratulations to all who competed... you did it!

Well done to all at Triple-r-super bike team. http://www.triple-r-superbike.co.nz/

Special mention to James Smith, well done James, I am proud to know you. You put in a great effort and were 100% dedicated with your pre nationals training and riding, ya bike blew at manfield and you were lucky to get a loaner for the rest of the nationals racing! Get that title next year ay?

Congratulations Robbie. He thoroughly dominated the class since Triple R unloaded the bike Friday. To give you an idea of how quick him, Andrew and Gareth were travelling today, all three of them lapped Dennis Charlet, the outgoing 600 Sport Production champion.

MASIVE respect to Sam Smith. After one of the hugest crashes yesterday you will ever see, Dave Cole must of worked literally all night to prepare him a bike. Sam rewarded his hard work with the most thrilling two races of the weekend, narowly beating Gareth to the line in Race 1 and sooooooo close in Race 2.

What a fan-fucken-tastic weekend.

And another point that needs mentioning. At the end of the 600 TT, Dennis was the only rider all weekend to do a rolling nurnout (albeit a small one)

All you other racers are homos.
