    Well, I was right. That was the worst HRC track day that I'd ever been on. That doesn't mean it was bad though, just that every other has been much better. This day was fully subscribed so that made for a crowded track, but for some reason there was a HUGE variety of talent present in every group. I don't recall ever seeing this at any other trackday. There were many stories of close calls, though there was only one incident during the day as far as I know, so that was good.

    This also made Aaron's usual follow the leader exercise a bit of a farce. Many were too slow to keep up so the groups got mixed up and it was just unruly.

    HRC have had fully subscribed days before - the Elite Day in Taupo last year - but that was an excellent day!!

    Still, it was a fun day - weather was great, good company, and met a few more good people. Rob and Robyn do a great job for Honda and the HRC - they do so many events from Kids Camp Outs to South Island Tours, travelling all over the country... Thanks guys!!
    When in Taupo, stay with Paul and Sandy at CHANTILLYS MOTOR LODGE
    For Suzuki Parts call Dan at COLEMANS SUZUKI - For Tyres ask for Danny at BOTANY HONDA

    I thought we all knew Honda riders prefer to come from behind?

    Good question though if we're serious for a nano-second. I must admit my interest in NZSBK results is limited to how you guys went because you're KB "locals".

    I really only just had my interest tickled in the last few months (thanks to team LG's wonderful shameless promotion) and the season is already over. Shit.
