May have caught your pile-up in race 2 on vid from the outside of the hairpin, will have to check out the camera tomorrow. Will send it on if i did

Tried to get some of the big boys wheelstands down the front straight on the last race too, think i caught a couple of them nicely. Will post up after work tmrw

Crowds love wheelys! I got burnt on one of my first race meeting so no more for me! Made myself look like a real cock still havnt lived it down!!

Indeed. Although sucks to be the rider who fell off and run over by the guy behind him.

Was my first time down to Paeroa, and my first longish country ride. Definitely doing it again next year.

Also had quite a few people interested in our little car which was really cool.

The highlight of the day for me was seeing sebastan Bach from Skidrow walk past, not once, not twice but heaps of times.... I dunno about his taste in beer tho....

The race car the uni students built or the older "little" blue car parked in the pits?

Oh, was that that funny little four wheeled thing in the pits? I saw that and wondered why noone had set fire to it.

Oh my... That explains the big cloud of black smoke seen from the back straight alright.

Well the vast majority of my pics came out crap, but an awesome day was had

I thought the holden dealer selling holden merchandise was amusing.
