Hampton Downs and the final of the NZ Superbike Series saw Nick take 1st place in the first race with pole position. He was well ahead of the field as he came over the finish line waving his arms and legs in excitement. Race two saw Nick take things easy to make sure he brought the bike home which is waht he did taking 2nd place to Glen Sketchill and Midge Smart was third.
Going into this round the main contender that Nick had for the title was James Smith from Christchurch who unfortunately had a crash in the first race and a jump start in the second race which gave him a 20 second penalty. There had been just two and a half points between them coming into hte final round.

We had a fantastic time at Paeroa with Nick taking the Formula Two class in both races. Nick also came third in the King of the Streets with Craig Sherrifs and Hayden FitzGerald both on Honda 1000s coming first and second respectively. Nick on the 600 couldn't quite catch them on the long front straight.
Adam came fourth and third and we also had Marcus Beagley in our team colours this weekend who as he put it was a virgin to Paeroa Street racing but he managed to finish mid field so that was pleasing.
Nicks fan club was by far the loudiest

The day started out with Nick and Adam discussing the lines on the circuit as Adam had not ridden here before.
The results say it all for Nick but credit must also go to Adam for how well he rode also.
Adam managed to make it up as far as 5th place which was not an easy task considering the high calibre of riders in the field.

8th January, Teretonga unofficial practise day (rain, rain go away!).It was a great evening last night as Rosanna cooked a roast pork dinner, beautiful it was.
Following dinner we had the first team meeting of the trip, discussing the ground rules, expectations and standards required. All the riders had input as to what they personally wished to achieve and Graeme outlined his expectations. The feeling at that meeting was awesome and VERY positive. The boys are fired up and really busting to get on the track. |
