The weather was great with plenty of sun<br />
and just a little breeze coming from the<br />
snowcapped peaks of the central plateau.<br />
The first thing on the agenda was to<br />
get the bikes off the trailer and up to<br />
Scrutineering. The GSXR7/11 looked<br />
the part and flew through inspection.<br />
Getting through early allowed plenty<br />
of time to check out the quality fields<br />
turning out for the <strong>GP</strong> races. We had<br />
a good field for BEARS and good<br />
numbers for the pre 82 and pre 89<br />
races, the only class that suffered<br />
this year was the pre 72 bikes.<br />
Once the bikes had passed<br />
Scrutineering it was time for<br />
Riders Briefing and both<br />
Lindsay Pinker (Clerk of<br />
the course) and Darrell<br />
New (M<strong>NZ</strong> Stewart)kept<br />
the briefing short and to<br />
the point, however the<br />
system for grid positions<br />
was a little loose but everyone seemed to<br />
accept the limitations of no transponders<br />
and no lap timing<br />
f a c i l i t i e s . T h i s<br />
limitation had the<br />
effect of removing<br />
the pressure of<br />
having to put in fast<br />
qualifying times and<br />
allowed riders to get<br />
to know the track.<br />
Unfortunately for<br />
me the immaculate<br />
looking GSXR blew<br />
an alternator O ring<br />
which sprayed a fine<br />
film of oil on the<br />
left side of the rear<br />
wheel. This made the practice session one<br />
which I did not enjoy. It was not until I got<br />
the bike back to the pits did I realize why<br />
the bike was handling so badly. This finished<br />
my racing for the day but gave me the chance to<br />
watch what was happening.<br />
After the practices were over it was time for the<br />
racing to really begin. The programme started with<br />
the BEARS and Race one (a 6 lap sprint) was a<br />
hard won victory to Sloan Frost riding a Ducati<br />
1098 from Malcolm Bell on his Aprilia and Daniel<br />
Kempthorne on his SV650. The attrition rate saw<br />
Terry Waite on the Ducati Sport 1000, Chris Bridge<br />
on his Ducati Fusion and Donald England on his<br />
1987 Ducati 650 failing to finish. the <strong>GP</strong> race<br />
was 12 laps which sorted out who had the better<br />
stamina and ended with another win to Sloan Frost<br />
from Malcolm Bell with Nicholas Prestidge on his<br />
2004 Ducati 749 coming home in third spot ahead<br />
of Daniel Kempthorne.<br />
Pre 89 juniors was the next race up and the field<br />
was a good mix of two and four stroke bikes. Paul<br />
Brown on his VFR400 finished the sprint in first<br />
spot ahead of Chris Fry on his Honda VFR400 and<br />
Anthony Montgomery on his NC30. The 12 lap <strong>GP</strong><br />
event saw Anthony Montgomery on his NC30 clear<br />
away from Andrew MacDonald who finished second<br />
on his 1987 ZT250 and Chris Fry on his NC30.<br />
It was great to watch the front runners work their<br />
way through the field as<br />
they lapped the back<br />
markers towards the end<br />
of the race.<br />
Next on the list was the<br />
pre 82 Senior class and<br />
there was a strong field of<br />
well prepared bikes with<br />
talented riders fighting<br />
for the win. Steve Bridges<br />
had the better of the day<br />
winning both the sprint<br />
race and the <strong>GP</strong> on the<br />
Ducati from Graeme Parr<br />
on his Kawasaki. Vince<br />
Sharpe on his Honda filled in a lonely third spot in<br />
the 6 lap event but failed to finish the 12 lap <strong>GP</strong><br />
race and it was Sean Donnelly on his Kawasaki who<br />
held on to the third spot in the <strong>GP</strong>.<br />

12 laps was a little too far for some as we had 5 bikes<br />
DNF in the <strong>GP</strong> event.<br />
The pre 72 bikes were run with the pre82 class and Terry<br />
Waite on the Kawasaki finished ahead of Dean Beatson<br />
on his Honda CB350. In the 12 lap race the results were<br />
reversed with Dean Beatson<br />
coming out on top and Terry<br />
having to nurse his bike to<br />
the finish line<br />
The pre 82 Junior race<br />
one saw Peter Sales come<br />
through and clear away<br />
from everyone on his Honda<br />
XR500 to win from Andrew<br />
MacDonald aboard his<br />
Yamaha LC 350 and Trevor<br />
Taylor on his TZ350.. The<br />
hard luck story of the day<br />
went to Debbie Bridge.<br />
Who crashed during the<br />
first race and had her<br />
team put in a great effort<br />
to get her to the start line for the 12 lap event only to<br />
have mechanical difficulties ruin the day for her. Debbie<br />
was saan in the pits afterwards taking out her frustration<br />
on the bike which seemed to come out bof the encounter<br />
looking like it had been in a decent crash<br />
The <strong>GP</strong> race again saw Peter Sale clear away leaving<br />
Andrew MacDonald to hold second from Graham Moorhead<br />
on his TZ350 and Trevor Taylor in fourth spot.<br />
The last race on the card was the pre 89 seniors and in<br />
the 6 lap event Terry Fitzgerald raced off to a great start<br />
only to have mechanical difficulties sideline him on lap<br />
two. This left Phil Duxbury and Randall Dixon both riding<br />
GSXR1100’s along with Nick Turner on the immaculate<br />
Honda RC30 to fight for the lead. But riding through<br />
the field Richard Mosley<br />
who had problems during<br />
the practise session with<br />
his Kawasaki ZXR 750<br />
finished in first place with<br />
Phil Duxbury7 in second<br />
and Nick Turner in third<br />
spot. The 12 lap race was<br />
far better for Terry and his<br />
Ducati and he started well<br />
and got better as the race<br />
developed taking the <strong>GP</strong><br />
in impressive style from<br />
Phil Duxbury and Nick<br />
Turner. We lost Richard<br />
Mosley half way through<br />
and also Paul Lance on<br />
the Kawasaki <strong>GP</strong>Z900 who<br />
looked like he was heading<br />
for a top four finish until the bike decided it had had<br />
enough for the day.<br />
Events such as the <strong>2008</strong> <strong>GP</strong> do not happen without a lot<br />
of preparation behind the scenes so a heartfelt thanks to<br />
Lindsay, Dione and the team for coming up with a fantastic<br />
days racing at the <strong>Taupo</strong> track. This was the first event<br />
run completely by the <strong><strong>NZ</strong>PCRA</strong> and as a first attempt it<br />
went well.<br />
Phillip Island 2009<br />
Entries have now closed and we have a total<br />
of 16 bikes heading across the ditch next<br />
year to give the Aussies a little push along.<br />
The mighty TZ350 dominates the team with 8<br />
of the 16 bikesBig bikes are down this year<br />
with only 4 going in the container.<br />
Unfortunately the Z-man had to relinquish<br />
organising this annual pilgrimage to<br />
concentrate on other pursuits and has handed<br />
the reins over to Smithy, Russell and Vince<br />
(scary!)<br />
Just shows you it takes 3 of us to do what the<br />
Z-man was doing. Thanks Z-man for all the<br />
work you’ve done, but don’t worry it’ll still be<br />
there next year for you to pick up!<br />
To all those entered, please get those license<br />
application forms and personal insurance<br />
applications etc completed and sent off when<br />
you receive them.<br />
Looks like we have a good bunch of riders<br />
and supporters again this year and with most<br />
of the team staying at the Waves Apartments<br />
in Cowes the social side of the trip should be<br />
a blast finishing with a party planned for the<br />
Sunday night.<br />

Labour Weekend <strong>Classic</strong><br />
Motorc ycle Register Races<br />
Labour weekend and the first race meeting for the NO 1<br />
Plate for the <strong><strong>NZ</strong>PCRA</strong> which is incorporated in the CMRR<br />
Labour Weekend meeting. The CMRR always put on an<br />
enjoyable meeting with a relaxed atmosphere and a great<br />
little barbie and a few beers to finish off with. As usual<br />
with running at this time of the year the weather was<br />
unpredictable and Saturday arrived cold and overcast.<br />
The meeting is split over two days so it allowed for a little<br />
more time between races. First race of the day was the Pre82<br />
juniors and Peter Sales on his TM435 got away to a good<br />
start followed by Carl Hanna on his Ducati TT2 and Trevor<br />
Taylor on the TZ350, By lap three Trevor had worked his way<br />
to the front and Randy Scott on the CBRR was up to fourth<br />
spot just behind Graham Moorhead and his TZ350. With<br />
the white flag waving Randy managed to get past Graham<br />
Moorhead and the finishing order was Trevor Taylor first,<br />
Peter Sales second and Randy Scott in third.<br />
Next up was the senior class which was a mix of Pre 82 and<br />
Pre 89 senior machines. It was Craig Smith on his Suzuki<br />
GS 1000 who made the most of the first lap to come across<br />
in first place with Nick Turners RC30 in second and Phi<br />
Duxbury on the GSXR7/11 third ahead of Brian Deadman So<br />
it was pre82 first and fourth with the Pre 89 bikes second<br />
and third. Russell was forced to return to the pits when his<br />
visor blew off at the kink at full noise. But was not allowed<br />
back in the race after fitting a replacement.<br />
By the end of six laps we had Craig out in front with Nick<br />
Turner in second and Phil Duxbury in third spot. Brian’s<br />
weekend was beginning to turn stale with his bike developing<br />
a misfire which was to haunt him for the weekend.<br />
The second race for the Pre 82 Juniors saw Trevor Taylor<br />
pull away from the rest and settle into first spot leaving<br />
Carl Hanna and Graham Moorhead to argue over second<br />
spot, unfortunately Grahams TZ showed the eccentricities<br />
of two strokes and locked up on the third lap leaving Randy<br />
Scott to come through into third, the way the race ended<br />
The last race for the day for the Senior Classes saw Craig<br />
Smith and Phil Duxbury head off leaving Brian Deadman<br />
to pull up with engine issues before the end of lap one.<br />
On the third lap Phil started to have misfire problems<br />
which saw him drop back down the field and Nick Turner<br />
come up to second and a hard charging Paul Dobbs on<br />
the Norton come into third spot overcoming Phil Clarke<br />
on his GS1000 who ended the race in fourth.<br />
With the weather during the day flitting between overcast<br />
to showering it was with a sense of relief that everyone<br />
went away hoping for a better day on Sunday.<br />
Sunday dawned but not clear and warm, rather wet and cold, it<br />
was going to be a hard day with only one race for each class.<br />
First up it was the junior’s and it was a depleted field that<br />
formed up on the grid. With the track wet it was the TM of<br />
Peter Sale that went to the front ahead of John Carter on<br />
the Suzuki GSX400 and Glen Walker-Holt on his <strong>GP</strong>Z550.<br />
As the race unfolded Trevor Taylor moved through the field<br />
eventually taking second spot just ahead of John Carter<br />
but the man of the moment was Peter Sale who ended the<br />
race in First almost 50 seconds ahead of the rest.<br />
For the senior race of the day it was showery. Off the start<br />
Smithy bogged which allowed a number of riders through.<br />
Large puddles had formed on the inside of turn 1 which<br />
every one avoided except for Smithy who obviously had<br />
forgotten all about this particular track condition and<br />
thought this was a good opportunity to slip up the inside<br />
and get a few positions back. Yep you guessed it, the big<br />
aquaplane and lucky not to lose it (some good shots of<br />
it on the Highside Photography website) The wet track<br />
also caught out Brian Deadman on the first lap as he had<br />
a big off coming over the mountain with Smithy almost<br />
binning it again as he was forced to take to the wet grass<br />
to avoid the Z-man lying around on the track.. The race<br />
continued and the showers turned to heavy rain When the<br />
dust had settled it was Nick Turner who got the best start<br />
and he went on to hold out Phil Duxbury .Further back<br />
Russell Barker, who had to avoid Brian Deadmans bike on<br />
the first lap was fighting with Phil Clarke on his GS The<br />
race finished with Nick Turner first, Phil Duxbury second,<br />
Russell in third and Jim Manoah on his Kawasaki giving<br />
Russell a hurry along and coming home in fourth.<br />
Brian’s bike luckily only suffered the usual superficial<br />
damage; tank damage, bars, footpegs and a little more<br />
lightning up of the fins on the barrel. As a result it looks<br />
likely that this will put the Zed man out of the rest of the<br />
number 1 plate series. We hope he can get the machine<br />
back together and we look forward to seeing his smiling<br />
face when he next turns out.<br />

Reece Sharpe Memorial Trophy <strong>2008</strong><br />
For those unable to make the <strong><strong>NZ</strong>PCRA</strong> Annual General<br />
Meeting and prize giving, I wish to reconfirm to the<br />
other <strong>Post</strong>ie members of this year’s presentation to<br />
“The Z-man” aka Brian Deadman.<br />
Reece’s trophy is “Awarded for Dedication and<br />
Achievement”, and just like the other previous<br />
recipients (Craig Smith, Alistair Wilton, Dick Waterer,<br />
Greg Sharpe and Lindsay Pinker), I am very proud<br />
to see Brian’s name join this exclusive list of names<br />
engraved on this trophy.<br />
Dedication and achievement amongst all of us can be<br />
measured in different ways, and the previous trophy<br />
winners have made enormous contributions to <strong>Post</strong><br />
<strong>Classic</strong> racing in addition to having competitive racing<br />
careers. Similarly to last year, I asked all previous<br />
trophy recipients to form a selection committee and<br />
recommend a nominee and make Reece’s trophy<br />
more of a collective decision. Like last year we had<br />
good discussion over this and it is great to see we all<br />
formed an immediate unanimous decision.<br />
For the Sharpe family, Reece’s trophy has gained a<br />
lot of significance this year. We have followed the<br />
sporting performance of several other members of<br />
Reece’s rugby league team and are convinced he<br />
would have become a prominent sportsman. If a<br />
talent scout was on hand years ago when Reece<br />
was playing, this person would have recognized<br />
the brilliance of three people within this team, one<br />
now plays for the North Harbour Rugby team, the<br />
second one plays for the “Roosters” NRL team and a<br />
significant try scorer, and Reece would have fielded a<br />
similar position I’m sure. All sports was his interest<br />
and he backed this up with academic achievement<br />
as well, he had his mother’s brain, sure had her<br />
competitive spirit.<br />
Brian has become a significant member of our<br />
<strong><strong>NZ</strong>PCRA</strong> and overall an inspiring character. A man<br />
to respect for his bike preparation, pit set-up, his<br />
<strong><strong>NZ</strong>PCRA</strong> DISCOUNT – <strong>NZ</strong> CYLINDERS<br />

Brian, congratulations, look after the trophy and I<br />
know you will keep it polished, and we look forward<br />
to you joining our select committee for next year to<br />
decide on the ’09 trophy recipient.<br />
