First time for me at Cemetery Circuit ... actually first time at a street race ever!

Just like to say thank you for racing guys and girls, amazing to see how fast were you going on those tight corners !
Lots of admiration from me!

Just couple of thoughts about the crowd if I may (can't sleep):
-Fix the PA for next year !
-Why 2 screens in the same corner and no screen anywhere else ??
-Watching a race having a couple of beer = Good times ! --- Not be able to enjoy your race day without being absolutely trashed = Sad!
-People drinking from glass beer bottles on the stand just in front the main PA guy where he was interviewing !
-Lunch/drinking/pissing/trowing up... on graves ? WTF? I'm proud to be a biker... i'd like to keep it that way.
-Also I guess some teenagers confused the Cemetery circuit for Rhythm and Vines because I don't think most of them
were there for the race.

Rather than that was AWESOME !!!!

Thank you heaps to the guys that organized the park and storage for the bikes and gear! Great service !
Here is a picture i took i thought was funny:



Just my 0,2¢ worth, sorry if offends somebody... not.

Ill be honest I think it was the 115% cut off really scared everyone and people rode past there limits panicing they had payed big money to race and were going to go home and over tryed

In some classes guy's were being lapped after only 4 laps, so I doubt they were anywhere near the 115%. (motards and post classics).

The running of Wanganui has been fuked since the day Barbara lett was removed

this year the last race was over NINE MINUTES later than in 2010, yep check it on my laps, and since you mention Barbara I'm pretty sure she was at the helm when they were still racing well after 7 oclock one year. Not a dig at all at Barbara or indeed anyone running the event just seems everyones out to blame somebody .
It was hard this year, lots of race stoppages gone it seems are the days when you can pull a haybale back and tuck a bike in till the end of the race but to be fair the weather was what I think made the meeting drag on so much for some.

It's been hot there before but usually there's a bit of a breeze whereas this year it was simply stinking hot and tested everybody.

The irony is there's a lot of people whose highlight is the crashes, ironically when they occur the delays what they grizzle about, you can't win eh?
As for one comment about the commentater not informing people what was going on. i'll put my hand up as that person. I've seen in years gone by announcements as to where there's a crash and the ghouls all flock there so how can you win?

a couple of the delays cleaning up were compounded by the grids being sent back to the pits as they'd been off the tyre warmers too long, once again another damned if you do, damned if you dont scenario eh?

[Ivan]

yip agree with everything you say ive seen ir fire fighting people all flock like ghouls to an incident makes it worse to deal with to

overall i think it was a pretty good event like i say there was minor issues and i emailed the organisers to let them know if they choose to ignore it its there choice it just some feedback for them to consider

Suggesting to racers that they "Slow down and not crash" isn't really going to help things. Address the real problems.

You may not have noticed, but the most successful guys rarely fall off....having the nous to realise that winning involves finishing races is a big part of being successful.

I'd love to hear what you consider to be the real problems....

Maybe if they'd cut two classes races instead of just one they could have finished nine minutes earlier than 2010

maybe it's like the road toll, some holiday periods it's way different to others yet conditions etc are similar.
Couple of standouts on Boxing day

Will Williamsons passenger had only at her last meeting clocked up her 100th trouble free race, the team were super consistent, likewise Sean Donnellys battery post classic died on the front straight and he required a ride back to the pits. I've been to a shite load of bike races and I can't recall Sean ever breaking down or crashing, he's Mr Consistant. My point is that there were many different things that contributed to the delays, that's the nature of the beast...

There's all sorts of issues at work here mate, and they need to be dissected piece by piece to make sure things are learnt. Come past the shop some time for a coffee and a chat.

Coffee & a chat in a bike shop.... oh okay then ;-)

Nah....grids had plenty of riders....had a bad run this year...I doubt organisers won't learn from it. the biggest issuse is where are the spectators??? from what people are saying??

And there is a huge part of the problem with street racing these days, The LACK of QUALITY of riders on the grid!!!!!!

To many CLUB SCENE only riders, not serious racers, hence all the crashes these days and oil spills all over the course
