Ruapuke Road Sprint Results
May 17th, 2009
Despite the wind and rain trying to spoil our day, 25 hardy souls, with about 15 even hardier helpers, spent their day having a skid on Ruapuke Road near Te Mata. After last year’s serious accident just beyond the finish line it was decided to extend the course onto a short uphill section. This met with universal approval, and for the first time in a little while our second to last competitor, disturbingly the same one who crashed heavily last year, did not fall off. In fact, despite the weather, there was only one off, and it was minor.
We promise we will try for the road in February or March next year, hopefully the weather will be better.
I must say I enjoyed my day out despite getting very wet helping with the cleanup.
TENG TOOLS Tarmac Series is not far away, regulations just need final approval of a couple of venues, then we will be into it.
Ciao,
Campbell
