Well after a very positive day at Wanganui I was looking forward to riding the 600 at Taupo.
I did the sunday practice day and my first practice session I felt fast and was really enjoying myself I came in afterwards and checked bike and the Suspension was working perfect the tire wear was perfect it was a good start.
Second practice I was really going for it and had passed a few bikes and ended up trying to pass a bike ran wide and Hayden and Karl came through I wastrying to keep up with Hyaden and ended up going straight ahead at the drag strip off the main straight....
Qualifying I actually felt really off the pace and didnt feel as good on the bike so had to relax abit and take things slowly and work on one good lap, I ended up qualfying 25th out of 37 so pretty average.
Race one It wasnt looking good weather wise but I went out ond drys race started and it rained got into turn 1 and see bikes scattering sideways to see Glen in the middle of the track waving franticly I decided not to run Glen over so avoided him and It got worse and worse so I slowed down and ended up dead last just circulating in the rain till the race was canned.
Race 2:
Just before my race the skys went grey so on went the wet rims and then just before we went out the sun came out but there was a big black cloud hovering above us to so I took the gamble fo if its dry ill screw my wets if its wet im in good luck,
Turns out it wasdry I saw Biggles having a luagh at my tire selection I got a cracker launch and was battling my way in mid pack when at the end of lap one into the chicane I was just picking up from leaning right changing to the left no gas on and she tryed to highside me I decided that was it it wasnt worth crashing so pulled out at the end of the following lap
