It is relentless and never seems to give up. Fortunately some of our riders never give up either and even seem to be encouraged and go faster in the wind. Or perhaps they were just going faster so they could get out of it sooner. Whatever the case some good and not so good times were recorded for the keen riders that turned up to Kairanga. And it was even more encouraging to see some riders coming out for the first time for this series.
Thanks as always go to the helpers on the night. Bernie is doing a marvellous job on the turn each week, although I did have to comment to him that the cone was a lot further out this week.
New helpers on the start line are always welcome and Dileep with the help of Louise and a couple of others did a great job mastering new tasks.

Last Sunday two track bikes to rookie riders were presented to Zoe Croton and Max Taylor. The selection panel were unanimous in the selections with each rider having being present at each meeting, presented themselves well and showed promise and determination in their riding!
The racing last Sunday was the best we have seen this season with finishes being very close in several races. It was a great finish by James Cuff to win the 4 Lap A Grade handicap and it was a photo finish when Mitchell Kinghorn just pipped Crane Groube in the final 16 lap race.
Some riders are getting out of the blocks to quickly by starting on the second whistle, not the gun and we will start asking the commissaries to watch this closely next Tuesday.
