    Drew, you were doing exceptionally well out there on that last race, taking down each rider in the same passing manouvre, same spot where you had previously done the woopsee.

    Was a bit gutted to see you banging the tank in frustration in that last lap or so, after making it to 4th place. Still, not bad for the first time at Ruapuna and the first time for the SOT... so we will catch you again next year huh?

    Did anyone get a good photo of all the Brittens lined up?

    I mentioned it on www.thekneeslider.com and the guy who runs the site emailed me asking for a photo.

    Dont worry I wont steal your thunder, and will credit you for the photo!

    I didnt get a shot because there were people all over them everytime i went over there.


    email tim[at] cordner.co.nz if you did, and tell me how you want to be credited.

    cheers

    also, had a good time spectating.

    Had an Awesome day. Great to meet new kber's & put faces to names, & of course to catch the locals- missed a few sorry.
    Awesome racing by all!
    Flame you rocked next time you might get to kick bigger arses! The commenter was impressed with you being up front & trying to tell more gals to watch you & learn & get out there! Drew what a buggar! Mechancials are a real pisser but thats racing.
    A few guys we know were having problems with their bikes with the heat- not running as well as they should, one had a gasket blow & had to borrow another duc for their last race to wheel stand down the straight with.

    Daryl what can i say but G needs to you more the fact that you needed back to kindy with you

    Cheers SDU, it was such an awesome weekend, I really had expected that I would be last in F1 after I saw the 50+ field. It was a huge surprize for me to find myself catching back markers by the 4th lap.

    Hopefully next time I wont get punted off the track tho LOL. It would be GREAT to see some more chicks out there! Rashika!!!!!! the buells coming out next year with your butt on board!

    And some fantastic racing out there guys! was entertainment plus both watching and competing. The most fun Ive had on the track ever!

    Does anybody know who the photographer was at the sweeper before the front straight???? And did anyone by anychance get a pic of me binning

    Roll on next year I cant WAIT!

    Yeah that about what I got, 82-83 hp at 7000-7500 rpm and about 66 lb-ft torque at 5700 rpm on a real hot day (35 deg's).
    Nice curve (on both) with no dips and the bike is standard apart from Pod filters and I have opened up the exhaust a bit.
    Like to see what it would have been on a cooler day now.
    I wanted it to cool off before I tried and as you know it didn't.

    Now I have to get the Daytona up on it.
    Feel the fear and do it anyway

    Don't confuse education with intelligence.
    There are alot of highly educated idiots out there.
