NZ SUPERBIKE NO 6!


Qualifying;

Id missed Thursday and Friday practice sessions so I had a bit of time to make up seen id only done a handful of laps here on the super bike but I slapped on a new set of Dunlops and managed a 59.3 to put me on the grid 8^th behind Dennis Charlotte who was on double duty.


Race 1;

Always balance your tyres!! The race had to be restarted due to rain but we still didn’t have enough time to balance the front wheel so oh well off to the grid, id ridden on worse!
Andrew sorta jumped the start then stopped and started again, I tried to go beside him and I think I may have pushed Reece onto the grass (sorry) I got behind Hayden and just tried to match his pace as best possible, I stayed within about 1-2 second off him for the whole race. I ended up 6^th as Gareth had a problem and retired

PB Lap time 58.8


Race 2;

Terrible start, the bike was hopping all over the show allowing Reece by, I got a bit held up through turn 2 and 3 as I watched the pack disappear. I passed Reece into the hairpin and set after Hayden and Charlotte. I managed to catch and pass Dennis into turn 1 on about lap 10 but no matter what I did I just couldn’t make any time up on Hayden, I finished 7^th

PB Lap time 58.6

Overall for the day 6^th

Overall for the Nationals 6^th



Please take the time to have a bit of a read through my sponsors guys, if not for them theres no way I could race. If companys like this can see some return with extra sales etc its not only good for me but its good for all of you as its more encouraging for businesses to see a bit of value for there support and in turn start helping more guys like you and I

DUNLOP;
These are the best tyres without question, they are that good they are almost impossible to buy! Luckily the good folk at Dunlop managed to find a few for me to use and I was instantly impressed! If you get the chance to try some Dunlops don’t pass it up and remember all that info they get from the race tyres filters directly down to the road tyres….

Congrats Choppa, and thanks for the kind words,

you should be very proud of the way you rode, with a budget and finish inbetween two riders with huge amounts of experience, to do this in the 1st year with not ever riding on 3 out of 5 tracks before is pretty amazing, keep up the good work,

and cheers for keeping on the reports on here.
