Awesome day, thanks heaps to CAMS & the lions for one of the best street tracks i have raced on!!

I had my best ever results for a street race, 2nd overall in the motard class
will get some footage up tonight, my dad got some wicked vids of me sliding it into the esses and i got all of race 1 on helmet cam.

FYI Gaz is still in chch hospital, he is doing alrightish and should be back to dunedin this week.
2 badly broken wrists is the worst of it.
He has said that he is more than likely going to stop racing.

The other Dunedin Supermoto boys and I are all off to buy a kneck brace this week as the doc said that if he didnt have this on then it might have been a completly different outcome.

ewww... how did he break both wrists, did they get caught up in the bike or was it the impact?

Shit happens

Haven't raced since Greymouth and got 7th and 8th which are my best ever results so pretty stoked with the day all the same.

Cheers

I was very impressed with the preperation of your XS Triplenut, and the 850 you had available for purchase was as sweet as too.
The sound of that 900 was sweet music, Good on ya mate, I hove the damage from the little off was only minor.

I had a great day watching all you KB boys having a ball, and the girls all did it in style, without an off.
Everybody I have spoken too agrees it was worth the effort to attend the meeting, and would do so again, the tight circuit really making it a spectators meeting.
Well done to the town for such a successfull event first time round.
And thank god the weather was in our favor for the day.
