Jaxon with Ribbon and Trophy

Bike all going good finally – major MSD problems so a new one was fitted and Champ gave the bike a good going over and everything great. 

Qualifying was 2 races and the bikes who got first in their heat went through to Final six.  John and Tony’s first race had to be restarted unfortunately Deane and Rob had a big accident and Rob got seriously hurt (hope y0u are better soon).  So they restarted the race and John and Tony spent a lot of time trying to go round the outside and it wasn’t working so Mike & Paul (97p) won.  The second qualifying race they got a good gate and won which put them in the final.  Bit of a concern to see the Fire extinguisher been used on the bike thankfully it was only the stuff John had wrapped around the pipes got a bit hot and smoking.

The final bikes were:

97p, 11p, 3nz, 19v, 34v, 59g

First race 97p came first , John & Tony came second

Second Race John got some bad advice from Grunter (lol) changed side wheel so ended up getting last for that race which meant if they were to get a podium finish they needed a first in the final race. 

Final race they were on grid 2 and managed to get to the corner first and have a great ride to win the final making the results a 3 way tie with 97p, 3nz and 19v. 

Then they had the run off and got a good gate and keeped the lead for all 4 laps.  Final results John & Tony Manawatu Champs, 97p Second and 3nz Third.  Great racing by everyone and congratulations to the top 3.  We have one very happy Handbag, and a extremely happy Tony as this was the first time he had ever had the checker flag in Palmy a great start to the season.
