Taupo International 2008, November 1-2
The 2008 Taupo International was a hit as it has been last 2 years. Having world class riders come from overseas to entertain the motocross fans, Billy Mac, Gareth Swannepol, Josh Coppins,and 2008 world champion Mattis Karro.
Racing was extremley intense in both 20+2lap motos. I went in to the weekend hoping for a top ten finish, because i knew how many insanely good riders were in my class including world champ Mattis Karro.
Moto 1; Moto 1 was very exiting, it was a very intense first lap and i went out to exited and used alot of my energy in the opening laps. As a pushed through the remainder of the moto i continued to pick riders off until the chequered flag, where i ended up 11th behined Suzuki New Zealands #4 Tom Managh
Moto 2; I knew i sholudnt push as hard as last moto so i went into the race with a clear head. I got a pretty good start sitting in the top 10. i pushed through the rough taupo track and finished an impressive 8th place, leaving me 7th overall for the weekend.
