Yeah there was a photograher there - guessing it was highside photography, they usually do it.

Check http://www.highside.co.nz in a couple of days time. Phil was there at the hairpin, over the hill and I saw him wandering down to turn 1 & Castrol at one point too.

Well here's my brief one!!

Got there nice and early and jockyed for position near a power point;

This will be my first 'proper' race for over 12years so entred clubmans to see if I could still cut the mustard.

All set up and looking good courtesy of my sponsor (Kea Campers).
Went out for practise, spent two laps scrubbing in some tyres and put in a couple of quicker laps to get a grid position...........pole position!! Fook!!

1st race; Off the line nice and clean and into the lead, put my head down and just put in some consistant laps. Bike felt great, only the third time its been ridden in anger and every lap it felt better and better. I won, by quite a bit. Now making mental note to go up a class next round.

2nd race missed the call for the dummy grid (doh) along with about 4 others!!! Started in about 6th of the dummy grid, by the end of the first lap I had got to 2nd. I cought him at Jennian and could have gone by through the chicane but waited untill the hairpin (safer) out braked him into the hairpin (ain't slipper clutches the biz) taking the tight line, headed for the first left, short-shifted into 4th then bang! had my right hand clipon taken off as the second place dude tried the pass. Down I go, bike turns hard right into the barrier......all over rover!! Too much damage to fix at the circuit (quite alot of damage actually) so the bike is in Motodynamix's hospital (thanks Shaun), my leathers are with Kerry at MSW and a new helmet is on its way from the states and I'm left nursing some bumps and bruises. Fookin expensive this racing milarky.

Oh, the dude that took me out had a nasty looking blood blister on his little pinky coming and a couple more bins to add to his tally over the weekend.

Formula Auckland for me from now on, my lesson well and truly learnt.
