I have never spent much time in the Havelock north area, was up there today....theres some great valleys once you get of the main drag..... stunning weather, have to come back up and carry on the exploration..

I can't see your vid, George.
It was a great day out there, eh?
Pity about the state of the road though

**MSTRS:Me** · 6th December 2010, 07:45

It was a brilliant day.
Have never done drags before, so was pleasantly surprised by my first run time - 12.26s.
Couldn't get into the 11s tho. Best time 12.02s. Worst time 12.7s.
Rear end spinning and fishtailing, front in the air...not like me at all.

Looking forward to seeing photos...

It was the dickhead in the white Commodore that cut up the seal tho

I was too busy writing down the times and making sure I wasnt wearing too much of that seal/tar to take many more.

Yes, most unlike you... did well John.
Do you know what was the fastest time one the day for a street bike?

**yungatart** · 8th December 2010, 16:02

The fastest time was a 10.95.
It was that rider's first run, fairly early on in the day before the seal gave up...can't tell you what bike it was though....

Cheers for that.
That's ok, it's bound to be a Kawasaki or a Yamaha...
