Great fun and a lot of mixed races I spent time against hot 150 foulstrokes (our F4 class is 100 2T/150 4T) so corner speed is everything.
Sadly a few stays in hospital have me in retirement while kids still need parenting. Getting a bit heavy to be competitive. Think if I go back as an old man I'll be frustrated.

Interesting to hear about the racing scene in New Zealand.
What about your kids, are they showing any interest in bikes and/or racing?
All the best, Dave.
