Jason van Breda did extremely well in this<br />
class as well as in the 150 class, which would<br />
have made his Grandad very proud.<br />
Speaking of the 150 class, it is something<br />
else to see our national superbike champ<br />
Mr Clinton Seller on track. He’s usually<br />
preoccupied helping a junior member of the<br />
class on track. The 150’s are truly quick little<br />
machines and the kids ride them with knees on<br />
the ground and I am dead sure there are some<br />
future “Brad Binder-esque” MotoGP rider<br />
amongst them.<br />
An interesting class is the Clubman’s. There is<br />
always a mish mash of bikes. From Motards<br />
to two strokes. This is the class where you will<br />
see a kid on a 150 kick an adults ass on a big<br />
bike.<br />
Neil Harran and his NSF 100 ‘s always put on<br />
a great show. The racing almost always gets<br />
intense. Many a good rider on superbikes and<br />
bigger class bikes have come through the NSF<br />
mill. Neil does a fantastic job. Kudos to all the<br />
people that donate kit and their time to this<br />
class.<br />
Super Motards, Ou Ballie class, SM2 those<br />
riders that haven’t become loonies yet and<br />
then SM1 and SM1X ... The loonies.... I have<br />
never ever watched a SM race that didn’t scare<br />
me just a little. The SM1 and SM-X class don’t<br />
actually start a race, they simply explode down<br />
the start straight and get sideways going into<br />
a maul in the first corner before getting up<br />
on the back wheel out the other side of the<br />
corners…<br />
And then, they somehow go around the<br />
track for many laps without destroying life<br />
or property. I have told many people that<br />
they have never seen bike racing if they have<br />
never watched super Motards racing… really<br />
spectacular stuff to watch and a must see if<br />
you get the chance.<br />
My mind fails to understand how riders<br />
achieve what they do. Truly magnificent and<br />
breath taking.<br />
And that is all from me… I think I am going to<br />
go have a little lie down until the next race…<br />
Phew – exciting stuff.<br />
See you at the next one!<br />
