They seemed to be going at it a lot harder in the 2nd race - prob because Ross lost his gear shift linkage in the 1st race and wanted to make up for it!

I was running 1.14's in the first race and i think it was low 12's in the second, Not sure exactly but i do know i was gaining on the leaders. 6 laps is just too short for any kind of race.Specially for a fat boy like me!

yeah, I figured the times might be down a bit Ho-hoon Still, news like that is really encouraging as it means I can kid myself I might be vaguely competitive in the middle of the field! Well maybe in clubmans as I suspect F3 is a bit more dedicated. We'll see. Heck, if KK can get out there I have no excuse!

CK.................. KK didn't just get out there, he did it with some SERIOUS style mate!!!! I wish I had been even half that good at my first meeting.

All I can hope is that he doesn't kick my ass in the toooo near future

HEHE

Hey Mitch - got your "new" bike yet?

**duke** · 13th October 2003, 19:11

Hey SPman

thanks for helping me after I crashed the Pantah last week. Fortunately the engine is in one piece. An oil pipe blew and sprayed oil all over the exahust and rear wheel. That's why there was so much smoke and I went down. Apologies to the rest of you who had to dodge the oil. With the recent weather it should be all washed off by the next meeting

When is the next round at Manfield?

**SPman** · 13th October 2003, 21:54

Hi Duke. Thought it was you but wasnt sure.Glad theres not to much damage to you or bike mechanicals.

Was quite spectacular though and gave us a bit of excitement for the day.

Wkid_one the Winter series is all over now, I think the next meeting down there will be the Nationals.

Vic Club are having a fun day at Manfeild on October 26th, it's supposed to be no racing with classes graded based on times and I think MNZ license not needed...

Email Daryl New at: nzmcnews@paradise.net.nz for further details, seem to remember cost is $50...should be fun as not too serious.

I won't be able to make it but should be down for the nationals in Dec (13-14).

Cheers, Greg
