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 />

to you joining our select committee for next year to<br />

decide on the ’09 trophy recipient.<br />
