If Nigel Duff does get out there with his bike and it lasts the race (two big ifs...) then that may be it...

And that's not allowing for possibilities like a fast ring-in showing up Green's #6.

You know they (Hoogies) lapped Rich at BoB, aye ....
And also before the main race James Hoogie on the Repsol was annoyed that his bike was quite flat and not really revving out like it should. And
Al Hoogie (black #43) geared his bike up so it wouldnt rev so much. He was concerned that BoB followed by Greymouth then Taupo might be a bit much and the Taupo GP was definately his target.
If his bike doesnt blow up he should be fine

The southern pansies camping at the track? If so we might be able to cripple them with our traditional night before track walk.

Yeah, I saw the vid.

I've seen them race before. Those CBR's are real weapons.

Great race tactics, you get me with that attack every time!

Unfortunately I get myself as well.
Maybe Next time we should both be disciplined and stick to drinking carrot juice. Clear head and all that. Might improve the lap times by a tenth or so, not sure it would be more fun though.

That don't mean shit.

My race was over when I hit the deck and broke the gear lever off and then the clutch die. And then I started feeling old. And then and then and arhh who gives a fuck. I just wish the fun we were having at the front lasted longer. But hey tomorrow we can do it all again. Lets see how that turns out. But I am sure there is still time for more bullshit before the flag drops.

Rich,

Fuck 'em up.

**F5 Dave** · 7th November 2011, 08:50

And That would be Wellington.

. . . Along with the F5 one. (actually I didn't even get the trophy, Avalon forgot to bring it).

Did they do a prize giving at the end? I was kind of keen to get going.

**Henk** · 7th November 2011, 08:57

Yep they did a prize giving.
Also announced that the GP next year is March at Taupo track two as part of the super bike round.

**Dutchee** · 7th November 2011, 09:10

Dave, someone grabbed your trophy, can't remember who though, but no doubt you'll get some of the loot. Congratulations on your hollow victory, it was a shame there wasn't any competition for you, but hopefully next time you'll get a battle.

Thanks to all the organisers for a great day's riding, was a lot of fun. Shame the weather didn't come to the party, but that's Taupo. I can sometimes see the attraction to the place, but not that often. A huge thanks to all of those marshalling in the crap conditions, without you we couldn't have gone and played.

I have to say those drift cars confused the heck out of me at the start of the day, and I'd often get a bit sidetracked by them and their smoke.

Is that for real that the next GP will be in Taupo in March 2012?
Yesterday's GP was the GP for the 2011/12 race year (ending June 2012). So that would mean 2 GPs in the same racing year?
Back in 2008 we had a GP in May for 2007/8 & then again in December for 2008/9, but they were in 2 different racing years.

Anyway I will be happy to be back on track 2. Just need to book the fine weather. Clearly I have forgotten how to ride in the rain.

Congrats to Andrew & Dave.
