Hi again, sorry that it's been a while since I wrote a race report... - I didn't get round to writing about Wanganui's Boxing day B.O.S. round, I should have done as it was a really important round for me.. Perhaps a very quick re-cap? -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Dec 25/26 2002 - Wanganui B.O.S. This could have been my last racing meet as I was planning to hang up my boots after this round. The enjoyment and performance which I had on the day gave me back some of my lost inspiration and so I continued to do Paeroa and I'm entered to do Gisbourne next weekend too. :) Wanganui had a mix of very wet racing through to completely dry conditions. As I LOVE the wet I managed an excellent result in the 600 Production class coming 4th in the first race. - A 10th in the second race saw me sat in 5th place overall for the day and the series. - This is why I had to carry on and do round 2 at Paeroa and also why I was extremely disappointed that we only got to race ONE of the 600 Proddy races at Paeroa (.. more later..). Formula 2 in Wanganui had some larger fields so I was very happy to finish 7th and 12th in these two races. The changes in condition throughout the day made the first round of races quite different to the second. People got a lot faster and more aggressive later in the day when the track dried. 10th overall in the series points. I had a really enjoyable day and left feeling like there was more of a reason to carry on racing than I had felt in a long time... -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Feb 16 2003 - Paeroa B.O.S The weather and changes to the track had a large part to play in the whole day in a lot of respects, the racing had to come second to a number of safety concerns throughout the day. - So much so that at one point in the afternoon an emergency rider's briefing was called to take a vote on whether or not the meeting should continue. Following safety concerns raised prior to the meeting regarding the speed of the larger Open class bikes at the kink in the front straight (270km/h) and their ability to react (brake) for an emergency situation at this point in the track, the organizers made alterations to the layout of the course. In fairness to the organizers, the new track was known to all competitors on the entry form for the event so there should be NO reason for any rider's surprise or recourse on the day. However, this previously untried circuit layout played a part in some major delays. The location and re-location of bails for rider's safety and protection delayed the start of practice, which in turn delayed the start of racing by over an hour. Further adding to the delays to the race program was the weather; an extremely hot sunny day (28°C, although it felt more like 34°C+..), no clouds, no real breeze and no break from the heat. There were quite a few problems with tar melting, in particular was one area of the circuit which had not previously been used for racing. At this part of the new track a coarse chip surface had been laid, the heat from the sun coupled with extra heat put into the road from the bike tyres caused the complete width of the road to look like a melted tar platter. Stones and wet tar were being thrown up from bikes in front left a very slippery surface providing no grip for tyres. Even in our early practice sessions the track surface was starting to melt in places. I had heard that Gisbourne often suffers from a melted track, but I'd never seen this before in Paeroa. Greg fell off here in his first lap of his first race. Unfortunately for him, this really ruined the entire day for his racing; we were able to repair his bike sufficiently for him to start the second of the F2 races, however the visor on the replacement helmet he used didn't provide adequate vision so he pulled out of this race after 2 laps... Dramas, delays, track surface issues and sweaty heat aside; my day went very well. I very much liked the new layout of the track, I though it was much more challenging to ride and I think it will make a very good layout to continue with for years to come. I had 4 practice sessions and got to grips with the track reasonably quickly. * Race 1: F2 (12:40pm racing should have started at 11:30am...) * My F2 race was the first race of the day; I started from the 2nd row of the grid and finished in 9th place, 18 seconds behind the race leader, my best lap time was 53.66 seconds. It felt really fast and clean and quite settled, the new layout has a lot of successive short straight spurts between corners requiring hard braking in close repetition; I could feel a little arm pump and fatigue setting into my hands, this discomfort dissipated fairly quickly afterwards. Maybe my "Golf cross-training" :) has helped with sore hands? I finished just behind Sean Bishop on his GSXR600, there was a small train of 5 of us lapping at almost exactly the same speed with no passing; 5th place to my 9th place finished 16.5 - 18.2 seconds behind the race leader (Craig Shirriffs). * Race 7: 600 Sports Production * This race was the highlight of my day. - I was able to make some progress through the field which was something which I couldn't do in the first race. I had a reasonably poor start off the front of the grid. 11 bikes should have started, but there were some crashes from the earlier F2 race which didn't make it back into this race I think? So out of the 9 bikes racing I was last into the first corner at the end of the front straight. Just following this corner is a really nice section of track with a sweeping right hander which goes up and over the crest of a hill, widening at it's exit. It you put the power on early in this corner you can take a nice wide exit and gain on the people in front on the short straight which follows. - Here's where I made my first move on Nick Odermatt (GSXR #80); into the braking zone for the next sharp left hander (also the start of the set of Left, Right, Left, Right 'ess' bends). I got along side Nick on the inside for the corner and made it through. Sean Bishop was next in front of me at this point, for the next 4 laps he made slight gains which I caught back at the end of the front straight. His GSXR600 has the legs on my R6 down the straights - this could also have something to do with my body weight, but let's not go there! (Thanks Mr Grey for your comments at Wanganui; scarred for life!...) On the 4th lap I had a really close look at Sean going into the right hander at the end of the straight, Sean came across and closed the door; it took me a whole lap to make up my lost ground; the 5th lap Sean braked late into this corner and wasn't as smooth as he had been for the previous laps, so I caught a little there, then the white flag dropped as we passed the start / finish on the next lap. I was nice and close to Sean's bike and made the most of the same uphill corner as in Lap 1; down to the start of the esses. I inserted my bike up the inside of Sean's. While braking hard to take the corner, I hadn't realised that my wrist was twisted on the throttle, keeping the gas on as I was trying to slow down! The result was that I shot cleanly up the inside of Sean. As soon as I realised that I was still on the gas, I shut it off, braking hard, already cornering; my bike dropped into the corner really nicely, my line around this left hander was nice and tight - more by accident rather than design. The result was a nice clean pass. I managed to hold this place in front of Sean to the finish line for a 7th place finish in the 600's. 19.235 seconds behind the leader (Craig Shirriffs), with my best lap time: 54.081 * Robert Holden Memorial Race * It was again a privilege to be included in this race. Before the race I looked at the program to see who was racing; the competition was so strong. I was sure I would be lapped, and come last. - So that was my goal, not to be lapped, and not to come last. After a day where I was racing and practicing with only F2 and 600 bikes, it was fun to mix it up with the larger open bikes. It's good to race with people you don't know, it's exciting. You're not sure what they're going to do, you don't know how to read them, it's a new challenge all over again. So I got stuck in, had a reasonable start and went hard for 6 laps. - I don't have the results on this race, but I do know that I managed to accomplish both of my goals, I was at least 3rd from the back, and I didn't get lapped.! :) - After this was when the officials called the emergency rider's briefing. - Directly after that was when the F2 race started. * Race12: F2 * This is a very similar story to the first F2 race of the day; 2nd row of the grid, OKish start this time, lots of fast following, little in the way of overtaking. Parts of the track were getting really wet (melted, not rain..); I was getting tired too with the back to back Robert Holden / F2 races, so my main focus was to finish a clean race, stay on the bike and reserve some of my energy and efforts for the remaining 600 Sports Production race. I finished 9th again, 19.239 seconds behind the race leader (Craig Sherriffs), best lap time: 53.868. On a side note here, it's worth looking at the results sheet for this race; Dean Labrum who finished just behind me at 33.8 seconds off the leader has been racing this same bike in B Grade at the Suzuki winter series. Nick Prestidge who was the last finisher of this race came in with a time of 44.5 seconds off the leader. So I'd like to encourage anyone out there of B Grade racing ability (winter series) to seriously think about getting out and doing the streets! - Especially if you're on a 600 Sports Production bike, as there were only 9 starting yesterday!... 3 or so races later, just before the 2nd Formula Paeroa (F1) race, the officials casually mentioned over the Pit P.A. that it would be the last race of the day. - At the time there was no apology, no explanation, nothing... It seems that they had run out of time due to the various delays during the day, including picking up a lot of fallen riders. Being that the track uses a State Highway they were forced to stick to their agreed time for re-opening so they canned the remaining races. (Formula 3, Sports Prod 600, Post Classics, Bears and Post Classic Forgotten Era). I've not heard officially what will be done regarding the allocation of points for the 2nd 600 Sports Proddy race, unofficially I was told that they might double up the results from the first race.? - Allocation of prize money? I don't know, perhaps the same? If that's the case, then I will have won NZ$280 in prize money. :) - Not bad at all really!... If this is the case, then Stewart Rodwell (Hello Stewart!) on an R6 in the 600 Proddy class could have gained NZ$140 if he had only finished the 6 laps of the first 600 race. I'm not sure why he's listed as only completing 5 laps, he seemed to be able to race again later, and he didn't come off as far as I know.? Anyway, both Greg and I are looking forward to Gisbourne, and we're praying for rain again. :) - It would be good if the tarmac remains solid! :) Best regards and thanks to all involved in the weekend; thanks for making the best event of what you were dealt! It's difficult when so many small things stack up against you to make things very difficult on the day. Regards, Chris. ------- On another note? - Does anyone have any digital pictures of Paeroa which they could upload to the 'Visitors Pictures' section of this site?

Gisborne, Battle of the Streets, Mar 2003. It's been a long time in coming, but we finally made the journey down to Gisborne. We've been interested in going down there for the racing for some time, but didn't feel like racing with a hangover on New Year's Day. Changing the race date to Feb made things a little easier for us to attend. Stella joined us this weekend, along with my parents, Janet and Paul who are visiting from France, so we had a nicely extended team this weekend. :D Having never raced at Gisborne before, the track *(and it's surface) were very new to me. Practice on Saturday was a bit of a wake up call! - I've never before ridden on normal looking asphalt which slips as much as some portions of that track! - Luckily it was just portions; further experimentation with lines helped me to find which patches slipped, and which didn't. - You couldn't avoid all of the slippy bits, so a little moderation of the right wrist was called for. Going into this final round of the BOS series I was in 5th place in the 600 Sports Production class, and 7th in the Formula 2. - Entries were down, so the grids were smaller than Paeroa, this promoted me to 3rd and 5th on the grids for the first races. - Racing was completely different to practicing, you'd go out with all the best intentions in the world to take it easy and not get carried away on the slippery tarmac; but when the flag drops it's racing - you can't hold back as much as you mean to. Greg had some excitement in his first practice when he discovered that his accident at Paeroa had damaged his RHS engine cover causing oil to leak from his bike, he noticed this and pulled in quickly. - We made some running repairs with Bill van den Hoven's "KNEAD IT" which sealed the gap and stopped the leak. Meanwhile Greg went out on my R6 for the 2nd F2 practice. We stayed overnight in Gisborne, and had a sociable evening meal at an Irish pub along with a few other riders. Gisborne was a pretty laid back sort of place with Rider's briefing at a very civilised 9am on Sunday morning. - We had a 3 lap scrub in session, then got straight into the racing. ---- Race 1: F2 ---- I was a little unsettled in the first F2 race, the bumps seemed to get bigger, the lines more awkward, the slides more pronounced; in short, I felt uneasy. I got a good start from the front row. I remember trying to keep up with Sean Bishop and then giving it away after the front let go into one of the right handers. When I was trying to settle down after this, I got passed by Craig Flood on his XR650 through the back twisty part of the circuit. So dropping from 4th to 5th place finish in the first F2 race was a good start to the day. Craig Scott, who I've been racing against for the last 4 years in these Street meetings (I have an old photo of Paeroa from my first year with Craig just behind me..:), finished in 6th. Sean's chain fell off his bike after he pulled into the pits at the end of the race! - He still had his link, but the split pin and the plate had gone. Greg and I found a rivet link, and helped fit it, so he was good to go for his 600 Sports Proddy race. ---- Race 1: 600 Sports ---- Stella gave me a good talking to; to put the F2 race behind me and concentrate on this one. - So I did. - I pulled my finger out. This race was a lot smoother, and settled, I felt like I was starting to get some consistency. This race was important for me, I really wanted to go well. - Starting the day in 5th place overall in 600's, with 2 of the top runners missing from this round meant that there was some space to fill at the top of the table. - Also, I started the day a single point ahead of Sean Bishop so I really wanted to keep that lead. Sean was running really well with laptime 0.5 of second better than mine. This was hard to catch, his bike seemed to have much stronger legs down the straight than mine. I could catch him at the end of the straight under breaks, then there were a few parts in the tight back area of the circuit that I could match him in or make some ground on him, but overall it was very hard to get any room to pass, or any decent speed on him to make a clean move anywhere. I made a pass on Sean early in the race, going into the sweeper before the long straight, I managed to hold this lead in front of him for a good number of laps. Then after the white flag he passed me one corner before I had passed him. I left too much space on the inside of the last slippery left hander in the back part of the circuit. - Sean finished a place ahead of me in 4th place with 13 points, I got 11 points from my 5th place finish, so Sean now sat one point ahead of me in the Series. Looking at the lap times, it seems like I had held Sean up for this race, his times were down on that of his F2 race, so I think in some respects he was biding his time, waiting for the right place to pass.? It was good close racing, and a lot of fun to change positions twice between two racers in the same race. Normally it seems racing is more just about re-ordering your positions on the track and making either forward or backward progress throughout the race, when you dual with someone and regain your lead, it's great fun. - Both Sean and I were really enjoying the racing because of this.! ---- Race 2: F2 ---- The grids for the 2nd set of races were re-sorted based on finishing position from the first race. For both of the 2nd rounds of racing, I started in 5th place at the very right hand side of the front row of the grid. Sean's kill switch wiring on his bike caused some last minute commotion which meant he missed the warmup / sighting laps for this race, after a quick repair job, he joined us on the grid for the start of the race. - There were four new patches of oil spillage on the track with lots of concrete dust down, in one place you could not avoid having to cross the line of this dust as the spillage was so extensive that the dust covered a line from the inside to the outside of the track. - This slowed everyone down; most people a lot, Craig Shirriffs; a little... Sean hadn't any chance to see the extent of this spillage, so I think he was a little surprised when he saw how much of the track was affected by this. I got a great start, 4th into the first corner behind Craig Shirriffs, Corey Oxenham and Kris Shirriffs. I battled for a while with Craig Flood who came through and past me during the sweeper on to the back straight. This was the worst affected part of the circuit for dust, and I felt really uneasy putting any power down through these patches. Craig got through and past me on 3 consecutive laps in this part of the track. - I caught him down the straight passing him initially into the braking area, then on the next two laps I passed him earlier down the straight. - I didn't see him again after this, instead I think some of the other 600's - Delme and Sean passed him. Delme came through and passed me too taking 4th spot, relegating me to 5th position, one spot in front of Sean. Overall positions for the F2 BOS Series: 1 (117) Craig Shirriffs GSXR600 Suzuki 2 (92) Corey Oxenham Suzuki GSXR600'02 3 (71) Shaun Harris CBR Honda 4 (59) Sean Bishop Suzuki GSXR600'01 5 (49) Chris Wiltshire Yamaha R6 6 (33) Kris Shirriffs RS250 Honda 7 (29) Nick Odermatt GSXR600 8 (28) Deane Labrum GSXR600 9 (27) Malcolm Bell 900 SL'97 Ducati 10 (26) Johann Bruns Suzuki GSXR600'01 11 (26) Mark Whyte GSXR600 Suzuki 12 (26) Jason Nairn SV650 Suzuki 13 (22) Craig Flood XR650 14 (20) Craig Gollop Yamaha YZF R6 15 (17) Craig Scott ---- Race 2: 600 Sports ---- Next was perhaps the most important race of the day for me; the final of the 600 Sports Production races. Overall points were so close between me and Sean, with the possibility of a 3rd place finish overall in the balance, along with Terry Fitzgerald who was somewhere in there with us overall, and was going extremely well on the day with his previous 3rd place finish in race 1... Sean was a single point in the lead, we all needed to finish this race, and we needed to finish well. We all got off to a good start, I fought hard to stay with Sean, Delme got passed me during the 2nd lap, I re-passed him during the next. - I caught up to Sean after pushing really hard. This race meant a lot!.. On the 5th lap I caught him to a point where I felt I could make a move on him, I went up the inside of the short straight before the sweeper leading onto the main straight. I thought if I could pass him at this point, then I might stand a chance of staying in front of him going into the last lap, and... - well, it wasn't to be, I didn't make enough ground on him, and I wasn't far enough forward to commit to this kind of move; I had to back off. He came though; he said he heard me, but didn't actually see me, so this was the best thing to do. - I lost ~15 meters on him going into the sweeper, which put me too far behind to try anything else on him during the remaining lap of the race. Sean had finished 4th again, with another 2 point advantage over my 5th. - So he ended up 3 points clear of me at the end of the day. Unexpectedly, he also managed to clear a point over Terry Fitzgerald. So he finished 3rd overall in the 600s! - Congratulations Sean, good racing mate! Final Series Points for BOS 600's: (just look how close 3rd to 6th is: 53-49) 1 (100) Craig Shirriffs GSXR600 Suzuki 2 (60) Corey Oxenham Suzuki GSXR600'02 3 (53) Sean Bishop Suzuki GSXR600'01 4 (51) Terry Fitzgerald Suzuki GSXR600 5 (50) Chris Wiltshire Yamaha R6 6 (49) Shaun Harris CBR Honda 7 (41) Jared Love GSXR600 Suzuki ---- Robert Holden Memorial Race ---- Well, with the most important stuff out of the way, it was time for a bit of fun. I passed Sean in the first lap, I think it was within the first few corners? (All a bit blurry now.) - I do remember trying damn hard to stay in front of him. - Twice down the straight I remember seeing his bike appearing to my left into the braking area, twice I remember entering the corner at the end of the straight ahead of him ;) - We fought and diced, I could heard him all the way round the circuit. - I set my personal best laptime of the day in this race, 54.500 - and it's the ONLY race that my best laptime was quicker than Sean's best. - After his two attempts at letting me know I was there, I really hammered down to racing, he said he could stay with me, but couldn't get passed. - Now he knows how I felt for most of the day! :) Delme did well in this race too; making a clear 4 seconds on me, finishing one spot in front. I finished 11th place overall in this race, which was quite an accomplishment. :) I had a great time, and would like to thank all of the organisers of all of the BOS rounds, along with Tim Gibbes who's timing system has given us all a lot to look at, and analyse on race day; it's really useful to be able to *know* what you're doing out there, and not just guess! :) Thanks everyone for your interest in our racing. - We'll be deciding what we're doing next very shortly.. There has even been talk of another National Champs campaign again this year? - Watch this space... All the best, Chris.

2003 Maxxis Australian Motocross Championships Round Four: Gillman, NSW – April 27, 2003 Weather: 27C, Clear Skies Track Condition: Rough sandy terrain CDR/Boost Mobile/Yamaha’s Darryll King rode with vigour and aggression, finishing the day with two seconds and a third. His experience and stamina continue to be his weapons as he governs the chase for the title, leading by thirty-four points. Darryll King, “I really wanted to win today; I just could not find a way past Ausy Shane Metcalfe in the final race. It was a very consistent day once again and that was my race plan as it is easy to get taken down during the first lap and lose a bunch of points. I accomplished what I wanted to accomplish by gaining some points on the other guys. I learned a lot today about bike set-up heading into the final round next weekend. I will go home and re-group and do some sand riding and then turn up in Coastal ( W.A), and hopefully win a race or two and the Championship” Pro Open Championships Moto 1 Out of the start gates Cheyne Boyd (Motorex KTM Racing) leads the way with Darryll King (CDR/Boost Mobile/Yamaha) fifth and Cameron Taylor (CDR/Boost Mobile/Yamaha) in eighth place. The field is closely bunched up. The top ten pull away from the rest of the field with a ten second gap. D. King chases hard after Shane Metcalfe (O’Neal Honda Racing) who is in fourth, with the pack being led by Boyd, Mick Cook (Griffin Yamaha), and S. King (Honda Racing). S. King, on the second lap makes a mistake, giving Metcalfe and D. King the opportunity to pass. Lap two ends with Boyd in the lead followed closely by Cook, Metcalfe, and D. King. A fight ensues between Cook, Boyd, D. King, S. King, and Paul Broomfield (Staintune MXM Yamaha) for their placing. Boyd has pulled a three second lead over Cook. Metcalfe and D. King are very close behind followed by S. King and Broomfield. Broomfield on lap three passed S. King through the whoops. Into lap four, Boyd keeps his lead over Cook, Metcalfe, and D. King. Through the whoop section of the track Metcalfe passes Cook placing him second. Cook fights to regain his position. Taylor, who was in ninth place, retires from the race in lap five with an injured ankle. Lap nine, Boyd has a five second lead over Metcalfe; Cook has now dropped back to sixth place and D. King is racing third. Thus, the line up is Boyd first, followed by Metcalfe with D. King right on his back wheel followed by Broomfield. The lead is closing up in the twelfth lap. Boyd is one second ahead of Metcalfe who is one second ahead of D. King, Broomfield, and S. King. Metcalfe and D. King pass Boyd over a jump. Metcalfe and D. King battle it out for first, leading the pack with a two second lead. Metcalfe pulls away from D. King only slightly, leaving a one second gap. D. King races second, seven seconds ahead of Broomfield, who is followed by Boyd and S. King. D. King pulls up beside Metcalfe making an attempt to pass, they get caught up in the lappers, making it difficult for him work his way around. S. King uses the obstacle of the lappers to pass Boyd. Metcalfe wins by one second over D. King, with an eighteen second break back to Broomfield, S. King, Boyd, Jay Marmont (Motorex KTM Racing), and then Danny Ham (Team Axo Motul Suzuki). Moto 2 Out of the start gates, D. King is third around the first corner. S. King takes the lead followed by Metcalfe, Marmont, and D. King. Around the second lap and S. King has pulled a two second lead over Metcalfe. D. King races hard to pass Marmont, riding right on his back wheel. D. King passes Marmont down the main straight, now in third place. With Marmont behind him, D. King sets his sites on Metcalfe. Into lap six, S. King keeps the lead. D. King passes Metcalfe on the inside of the corner. They came together slightly, neither of them fussed over the clash. S. King leads, D. King second with Metcalfe chasing hard to regain his placing. Metcalfe has gone underneath D. King to pass him back. Ham passes Marmont putting him fourth. Metcalfe and D. King battle it out, in lap eight, with D. King chasing after Metcalfe through the lappers. Metcalfe runs off the track in the corner coming onto the main straight, giving D. King the opportunity to pass. One lap to go. S King has a two second lead over D. King who has pulled ahead by two seconds in front of Metcalfe. The race finishes S. King takes the win over D. King, Metcalfe and Ham. Moto 3 Around the first lap, Boyd leads followed by Cook, Metcalfe and D. King who came around the first corner fourth. Second lap, Ham and S. King both crash and are put back to the rear of the pack. Cook leads over Boyd, Marmont, and D. King. The leaders are bunched up, Marmont passes Boyd putting him second, followed by D. King. Boyd and D. King are side by side going onto the main straight on lap four. End of the straight, D. King manoeuvres wide around the corner and passes Boyd. Cook still has the lead, followed by Metcalfe, D. King and Boyd. At the half way mark of the race Cook has a two second lead over Metcalfe and D. King who are battling it out for third. D. King is unable to work his way around Metcalfe, he is trying a pass on almost every corner. Cook wins moto three followed closely by Metcalfe, D. King, Boyd and Broomfield.
