    Also don't forget that Sketchy was swapping between 2 bikes which doesn't make it any easier!
    Congrads to Codgey too on the championship and making a commuter sv go faster than it should!

    Bloody awesome racing to watch too (when I got the chance).

    He rode really well and never seemed to push too hard, smooth and fast.

    Fantastic effort and result mate!

    Bloody MNZ seemed to do everything they could to take away his moment of glory too.

    What do you mean by that Skunk? Seems like if you're not a big name, they don't like you doing well.

    [ OFF TOPIC -sorry]
    F3 is under protest - nothing to do with Sketchy but they just ignored F3 at Prizegiving. They read out who came where and that was it. None of them got to thank their sponsors, supporters, the club - nothing. If the protest holds (and I don't think it will) he will have won ALL THREE races. As I say - I don't think the protest will hold. But shit, they could of at least let the guys thank everyone in front of their follow racers.

    Also Glen was picked for drug testing so it was hard for him to mingle after winning as well.

    On top of all that (!) when they interviewed him after a 600 race (which he did straight after the F3 races) they cut him off as he was about to thank everybody. Yes, an MNZ 'official' did the interview.

    Great going MNZ - biggest day of his life and they do this.

    Pricks. But I think Glenn knows that the congrats from his friends and fellow racers mean much more than that shit. Still, he earned the right to stand up and speak, and it sucks that he was denied that.
    Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?

    Glen you are truely 1 very TALENTED rider and your performance on the weekend proved that not only to me but also to Ozzy and to all those who were there watching you race that you have what it takes when it comes to being their on top. You were spectacular to watch out there and I wish you all the very best with your racing for this year and look forward to seeing you back out there racing in our VMCC Actrix Winter Series. WELL DONE GLEN.

    It sure was exciting to watch!
    A real shame that he was "denied" his moment of glory by MNZ.
    We got to mingle with some of the racers on Saturday night. Glen was one of them. I was most impressed with his "off track" behaviour too...a really nice young guy, modest, humble, friendly and easy to talk to.
    All the best Glen.
