Well with Tony still on the mend and Les & Kerv’s bike getting ready for the New Zealand’s Kervin Jumped on the back with John for the North Islands.  Had to adjust the bar on the seat for Kerv and his reach is not quite as long as Tony’s lol.  Qualifying on Friday was all good with John & Kerv qualifying with top points along with Mike Zachan & Paul Humphrey. 

Saturday the main event and it was raining off and on all day, amazingly enough it stopped around 6 ish and we were able to race.

John & Kerv managed a second in the first heat after this heat changed gearing then posted a 16.125 lap to win that heat and the next one, by that stage John & Kerv, Spud & Philippa, Steve & Shaun and Mike & Paul were all on same points – very exciting.  The 4th heat was going to be interesting with, Pitty & Sally, John & Kerv, Spud & Philipa and Steve & Shaun drawn together for the same heat.  John was trying to be careful and not buzz up but instead pulled a wheel stand (John’s still gutted now he won’t make the same mistake at the NZ’s) which meant he was coming last, he managed to get round steve & shaun to get 1 point.  The final heat they won and the final results were Mike Zachan & Paul Humphrey 1st, Pitty & Sally 2nd and John & Kervin 3rd.  Well done to everyone!!!!  Thanks to all the Team and supporters and the most courageous supporter Tony who hated being on the sideline.

Well after racing off to Forest Elbow for a few hours then home where we had a house full, 5am finish then off to bed.

Must say, Thanks to Cameron (Aussie) for cooking us breakfast 4 hours after we went to bed lol, it was awesome and you make the best french toast, hope you and Robbie enjoyed your stay and look forward to seeing you again.
