Thanks to everyone for organising the weekend, was very well run indeed! The weather wasn't half bad either. Pity about the field sizes but hopefully they improve for next year!

Thanks Skip for all your hard work and organising this event since November last year. I must admit it was nice to just go in and do my job in the office and not had all the organising to do.

The racing was awesome, the atmosphere was great and it was great to see so many familiar faces again.

Bloody awesome weekends racing alright,Some of the best superbike action you will see anywhere in the world and anybody who wasnt there missed out on something special.Racing was excellent in all classes and the rider conduct was impeccable.It was bloody impressive too see guys like Sloan,Eddy,Rhys and Peter Tanner duking it out in their own little Privateers race and having a ball.Good on yas for getting out there and giving it a shot and the same too all the guys in the other classes who gave it a shot knowing they had no show of winning,You will all be richer for the experience and you all added too the spectacle of the meeting

I still want to know what this 'dunny greed' is....

I really enjoyed the weekends racing. I was fortunate enough to be part of one of the best racing battles I have ever had! (as well as dropping 2 seconds of my last year lap time!)
A group of four of us in race 2, I think everyone had at least one go in the front of the group, and there was at least one pass on everylap, it was hell for leather! It wasn't like we were going slow either lol!! Full credit to Jamie Galway, John Ross and Adam Chambers for the clean agressive racing that made my weekend awesome! I am honestly sooooo looking forward to Puke!


BRING IT ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !


EDIT: ALso, talking after the meeting to my pit crew (ie ma and pa!) we all agreed what a well run smooth meeting it was, full credit to all involved!

Aussie twang over the P A is like music to your ears you can never get enough of it. I am so glad that I am just sheer entertainment for all of you out there who attend our Vic Club meets just to be amused. So can all enthuists Please come to the Dummy Grid.

Couldn't agree more! A real treat.

How about this !!!
While I was on the gate a bunch of bikers turn up on Sunday about 11:00am look at the entry prices, have a bit of a discussion and then decide they didn't want to come in and rode off !!
I couldn't believe that anyone who actually rode a bike would get that close and then decide $20 was to much to pay.

A few people tried to bluff their way in, (which I guess is always worth a crack at any event, I managed to get into see Alice Cooper for free ) but most people didn't seem to mind paying the $20.
I only had 2 people complain (both grumpy old men)
One that nobody had TOLD him the programs where on sale at the ticket office (even though it was on the board along with the prices) and he had to walk back and buy one.
I said "walking is good for you", but he had no sense of humor and had a big rant about how every one was after his dollar but they didn't all get it. If I hadn't been the friendly face of motorcycling in NZ I would have told him to take his $20 back and fuck off.

The other was pissed off that I asked to see his pass when he came back into the venue after going to his car "this is the third time I have been asked" I said "I guess it is because you are so handsome I didn't recognise you" but he had no sense of humor either and just grumped off.

The girls on the ticket booth were great, running to the bikes with tickets and change so the riders didn't have to get off their bikes.

We had a great BBQ and a few beers on Saturday night, it was pretty good fun. We could do with a few more helpers next time so that we could see more of the racing.

So Kiwi Bikers -- If you are not in a team racing or crewing next year volunteer -
free entry, free beer and BBQ , a warm glow from accolades at the prize giving (maybe from booze or the sun I'm not 100% sure) and all for a couple of hours work if enough people put their hand up.

Oh.. you get petrol money as well and because my van is so ecumenical I had a bit left over for coffee's and hot dogs
