Round 8 and season wrap up.
Finished the season on a high with round 8 of the NSW champs. The old girl ran a 7.97 @ 169.08 for my first 7 second pass. We won 3 out of 3 rounds on the day but missed out on a place in the final by ET in round 3.
Great fun day and we had some close racing, which made for some excitement, especially on the last pass where I went 150MPH while on fire.
Congrats to Darren for the win and Alex for the runner up.
We finished the season strongly with 80 points for each of the last 3 rounds and a win in round 4. We went 3 out of 3 in our last 3 events (Rds. 7 and 8 and Grudge Kings) and ended up 3rd in the Championship. Which is a great result considering we tried a few things throughout the season, some of which didn’t work as planned and we had some repairs to do as well. We had to freshen up the top end after a burnt piston and had some burnt wiring to repair after a broken rocker and a big backfire.
Congrats to Ryno for taking out the championship in his first year and Deanne for runner up.
UPDATE: There was a point score error which has now been rectified. We actually finished the championship in 4th place. Congrats to Brendan for 3rd place
I say “we” a lot when doing these updates. I may ride the bike, but a lot happens behind the scenes, and I couldn’t do what I do on my own.
I have to thank my crew Deann from Exta-Soy Candles & Home Fragrances , Terry Doc RI Sullivan and Jim from Force 9 Surfboards Team work makes the dream work. Also need to thank the following for help and support along the way
