OWNED!
Hey all,
A big thanks must go to Grant Collingwood of CTAS, www.livetiming.co.nz/Live_Timing.aspx, he's a one man band that empties his pocket to give us free coverage through live streaming. He works his arse off, responds to groans and moans, fixes all as quick as he can and looks after the camera track side with our FREE coverage.
Thanks Grant you rock!
Your picture's in my wallet and I'm sitting on it. And if that isn't love, I don't know what is

I second that.Originally Posted by Foxzee
I could have done a trip to Christchurch this weekend, but in reality it was awesome to sit in front of the Lap Top coupled up with the TV, and watch the live timing.... and a whole lot cheaper!!!
I will miss next weekend due to my own racing habit, so will be really keen to get a DVD with all the races on it.
For those that don't know, you can buy the races for a VERY reasonable cost from here:

This weekends racing will be up on Tuesday.
We didn't actually see Jaden Hasan and John Ross have an epic battle in the first 600 race due to poor Internet in the shaky city, so that is a must see...
We saw the numbers on the timing monitor, and that was amazing enough....
Top work Grant, you are awesome!

We forgot to say that.
Yes, it is fun... especially watching Drew trying to swear lol.
And catching up with like minded people all over the country watching the bikes.
Some you can pick, others remain a mistery, but in reality there is only 2 degrees of seperation in this country....

I had to spend the day with the missus so the phone app came in real handy to keep up with the latest results cheers

for those listening out in the world it's one thing to enjoy but as a part of the travelling show who has some limited dealings with Grant over the weekend I can only say it is always a pleasure to see his face and hear how he gets pleasure from doing the job he does.This to me isone of the toughest jobs at the track, there's no time to relax and little time to go for a tinkle even so thanks Grant for your hard work, financial investment in what you're doing and cheerfulness.

...you and your co-commentators dont do half a bad job yourselves Spyda...very entertaining and informative...
Forum whore
My first (and it wont be last visit) to the commentary box this weeknd and these guys are awesome........... ive known spyda for as while and know he can talk....... but never met Neil before. What a GREAT man he is just a non-stop verbal attack on the motorcycling ear. And such a nice guy too.
I urge as many of you who can, that might just be able to give a few words of support of information to the commentators or listening crowd to just spend a few minutes in their world.
PS ..its an awesome view too with live timing.

You poor bastard
"If you can make black marks on a straight from the time you turn out of a corner until the braking point of the next turn, then you have enough power."

It was good to hear things from your point of view too Merv.
Top job.
I have been up in the commentary box a couple of times, but more as eyes for the commentator.
In my case it was Ray W, and it was for the 3 Hour at Taupo....
While it is easy to sit back and sling stuff at what comes out of the commentators mouths at times, i do appreciate it is a very difficult job..... They can't look everywhere at once. Especially when Jaden Hassan is cutting through the field like a hot knife through butter.
Heck, we used to watch Formula 1 as young fellas just to listen what monumentals Murray Walker would come up with next.....
(Excuse me while I interrupt myself, That car is unique apart from the one behind it which is identical....)
That a side, I am fully keen to be up there to provide facts and figures to their ear when required....
Wanganui was Classic, when Neil and Spyda were trying to work out what the heck Chappy (neil_cb125t) was riding..... Of course there is no way one can keep tabs on what all 180 or so riders are up to this year... Especially Wanganui.
So, yeah, if I'm not busy tinkering with the 250 Production Bike, I am keen to head to the tower and lend a hand if needed.
