New Zealand vs Australia International Sidecar Series

1st   84 Darren Treloar & Justin Plaisted – Australia
2nd  75 Mark Plaisted & Sam Harrison – Australia
3rd   2NZ Russell Stuart & Andrew Parker
4th   35 Mark Mitchell & Tom Golding – Australia

Third round of the series – Very close to not happening with the weather packing up.  The first heat had Mark Mitchell, Mark Plaisted and Sefton we were in second place coming out of corner got sand blasted by Mark Mitchell lost all sight dropped to fourth .  The rest of the day rained off and on, made the B final to finish 6th overall for the day.  Ran 19″ solo tyres for this track just a little bit behind on our gating but had good pace once we got going.  The final’s were run in drizzle and everyone left extremely muddy to carry onto invercargill.  We decided not to do that round so we left to go to brother Michael’s local pub in Rangiora and got inebriated.

The pictures are what the bike and leathers looked like when they got home.  Took 2 1/2 hours to clean the bike and 2 hours to clean the leathers, inside of helmets, goggles and all the other gear which was covered in mud.
