First of all sorry about the lack of update’s lately, haven’t had much to write about. The Manawatu champs was a let down, were going into this meeting as defending champion’s 6 laps was all we did with the clutch giving up, this coming a day after a throttle cable broke never mind.
So to the New Zealand Champ’s themselve’s didn’t have very high hopes to be honest, more in fear of not qualifying for the finals, as the previous 2 times they were there we hadn’t. The practise on the Thursday went out for our 1st ride and were all over the place, 2nd and 3rd practice far better, the smiles were coming back alot of positive comment’s as well, all this gave the confidence a hugh lift.
The qualifying went not to bad to finish 6th, we didn’t seem to be as smooth as the last 2 practise rides the night before, never mind we were in the final’s. Had also buggered the 2nd hand clutch we borrowed oops.
The final’s night had arrived the bike was all good changed a couple of tyres during the day put another clutch in as well so were all set to go. Won the 1st heat, 2nd heat had the 2nz bike, the Trutt’s bros 61g the fastest bike around Gissy this season and our mates from Invercargill, managed a 2nd in this heat pretty happy considering the opposition. 3rd heat what a sh%^&*er bad start wheel standing coming down sideway’s, managed a 3rd that result hurt. 4th heat up against our Kiwi teammate’s to Aussie 37a ,3nz and the rising young star’s 69g, gated good got to the corner 1st all for Nick to get a good run outside of us to get the lead finished 2nd. Won the last heat which gave us 4th equal overall with 37a pretty happy with that. Thank you everyone again for all your support, to everyone in Gissy who had any part in running the event, the appreciative crowd you guy’s played your part as well, the 3 place getter’s good one see you in palmy next year
