Womens and Vets champs.

Posted: Wed 21 Oct 1998

As you know over the weekend of 17th and 18th of October the annual Womens and Vets champs were held near New Plymouth.
Everyone arrived on Saturday to find a paddock full of steep hills and bogs but the track turned out great thanks to the Adamson family. When I signed on, being eleven, I was the youngest in the junior women 8-16 years class. My brand new 99 Honda CR 80 ran perfectly on both days thanks to Co-op Honda Motorcycles and Bryan Davison who travelled all the way over from Palmerston North. The track got really rough and after a bit of bad luck I finished 6th overall.
The vets racing was very exciting with stars like Mitch Rowe, Tony Cooksley and then the old guys like Craig Siddall doing stuff. The racing between the front runners of the senior womens class was also very fierce. Mitch Rowe and Tania Satchwell were the champion of champions cup winners.

Womens results were
