Yep that was me. Hey can you thank them for helping me out? The pouring spout on my petrol tin broke and started spewing petrol everywhere- got my self in a bit of a state over that one!

I thought that bead breaker (tyre changing thingy) they had was mint.....I may have taken pictures of it and may be making my own one

NA... not racing again, due to un answered saftey issues from 2 years ago my club (BMRC) and the Post Clasic Crew indervidualy decided not to race last year... so this year the PNSR team through a paddy and banned F4 and F5 buckets, Ill be farked with there organisation to race just 1 bike, if Im lucky Id get a race.

This is a pitty, wish the PNSR commitee would get their shit togeather as it 'could/should' be a awesom event for those watching and those racing.

Great day at Nelson,well run ,good track(good enough anyway).The organisers do it very well,as they have every year as far as Im concerned.This bloke has obviously never had to organise or be part of an organisation that runs a big event. Maybe he should give it a go sometime.That may dislodge his head from his arse. Not the best mouthpiece for a club I reckon.Doin ya club more damage than good,irrespective of how good ya think ya doin.

"This bloke" I asume you mean me?

well then mate 1st off all I helped with the Greymouth street race and every year myself and the crew organise a days racing at ruapuna... so yes I know whats involved.

Answer me this... if you partner was let out the dummy grid late in the direct path of a falcon car doing over 100kph (if it wasent for fer keeping hard left for a change shed be DEAD)

How about this... a rider was still racing (back marker) and they opened the gate poeple WERE CROSING with bikes on the track.

Ohh yeah... different flags being flowen at the same time diferent posts.

And then they called up Post classics AND buckets instead of classics, and they knew 80% of bucket racers also ride post classics... the feild was a mess, this is all off the top of my head.

OK MATE... remember I am a spokesperson for a club... DONT shoot the messanger, the pressure was on me from 'others' to do/say something.
And also note, I am trying to promote the Nelson meet for next year, I WOULD like to see a full feild of buckets AND post classics.
