The "#55 sandwich". Carrick leads Summers
and Aussie McFarlane. Summers won three of the days races.
The #55's picked up a race a piece.
The legendary 'Cemetery Circuit' ran
a supermoto section for the second year in a row this last
boxing day. And what a day it was!
With the
rain dropping in buckets the night before,
competitors were well prepared
for the
following
race
day. However before the racing had even begun
everybody had pretty much burnt out their wet weather
tyres! Each session had started wet
and ended up dry, tearing everyones tyres up but giving fans
plenty
to keep them entertained..
The results after qualifying were.

Race 1
Things cleared up for the races so everyone
breathed a little easier about their tyre situation and the
fans got into their spots ready for the action. There was
plenty of expectation from Aussie hotshot Josh McFarlane.
He'd looked to have the wheels to go all the way last year.
With last year's experience to draw on he'd come
back with two factory vdB Aprilia's, almost certainly the
fastest machines
on the
straights,
and
a point
to prove.
Yamaha's Toby Summers grabbed the holeshot
from pole position and the crowd was pumping to see him have
the early lead. McFarlane was next across the line on the
first lap but in a repeat of last year he wasn't able to
hold it together and fell on the next lap.
Taupo's Scott Moir (KTM SMR450) held station
in second place for the duration as Summers eased away from
the field. Motocross vet Mitch Rowe was another one to fall
early on and did a great job working his way through to fifth
at the flag.

- Race 2
- This time Aussie McFarlane held it together
and showed what he had. Unfortunately for him it wasn't enough
and his only consolation was that he at least got to see
Summers take the flag.
The rest of the field didn't see much
of the the lead pair after the third lap. Mitch Rowe stayed
on and grabbed third from Moir who ended up runner up for
the day.

instalation of a supermoto section at Wanaganui,

of stalls throughout the races duratiuon.

Race 2
Carrick was again on pole but Paul Brown (Husaberg)
led Scott Moir into the dirt with Summers and Rowe behind.
Summers was onto him moving into the lead on the
second
lap. Luckless McFarlane had been dominoed into the haybales
after Rowe had tried a adventous move into the first corner.
Carrick was pushing back toward the leaders
early on but ran into trouble, as did Scott Moir
who crashed in the dirt mid race, Rowe joined the horizontal
movement but got up and got back past Hamlin
and then Brown.
Brown fought back the position just before the finish line.

Feature Race (all in)
The tables turned for Summers and McFarlane
in the all in feature race. Summers, trying hard to make
up for a botched start ran straight on in the first turn
and
had to turn around and work his way from last place.
Rowe was out to make amends for earlier
mishaps and held the lead until being passed, of all places,
in the dirt section by McFarlane.Rowe's luck soon deserted
him when his machine ground to a halt on the second lap
when a stone jammed his brake on and he spent time sorting
it out.
Carrick grabbed the flag and gave chase but
McFarlane, who set the fastest time of the day, was not to
be denigned his moment in the Sun. Summers had thrilled the
crowd through
out, climbing
to a
increditable
fouth just behind Rowe.
