Were there any "bugger me" moments from your weekend? I had 2 and they were both Rebels moments. 1, when it looked like Horse was going to roll his team mate along the grandstand and 2 when Kyle took out Hewson on turn 1 and 2.

Horse was doing an awesome job in that race, untill a glancing blow seemed to take out the steering - I beleive the car was pretty much on its on course when his teammate was put up the wall, and likewise as it wobbled through the following corner by the wall before popping out in front of Hewson.
Who I also thought did a great job for Rotorua.
And must say - great to see Kyle Fraser in his own car - was a different driver to last year, and looked in top nick too.
Well done to the rebals - they all performed well.
Bengston and Rees had a few "bugger" moiments with each other as well.

My buggar me moment was in the final when the infield Steward's/ref's moved Shane Penn forward for the restart after the red lights came on, they must of felt he voluntary when back to far. I seen them pushing plenty of drivers backwards after going to far on the reds, but not moving them Forwards!!. It was like "Come on Shane not that far back we can cheat a little" ;D

Sure was great to see Kyle back in his own weapon the tank just didnt work for him.. Way ta go Kyle keep the boys in shape for next year, you guys got better and better as the weekend went on

LOL @ Rumney discussing Ducks, we were having a similar chat in the grandstand, not the best moment of the weekend. Scotty is doing well and with a few more races under his belt will be a top runner.........
Biggest bugger was Warriors losing to panthers in the last lap....was such an awesome effort.................in what most thought would be a cake walk for the panthers!!!

In the second half of the first Rotorua race there were quite a few. The boys did awesome in the first half and i think had a 1-2 lead, and then had heaps of own crashes and really wierd incidents happen. It was great to see them pick themselves up from that, and get the 4th overall tho.

For me i think the "bugger" moments were the cars that were spun up and could not finish their races because they were stuck in the bog either side of the pole line. Some races could well have had different results. Even the tow truck i saw wheel spinning trying to tow Hewsons car off was a bugger lol.
Cheers. Legaspeed.

Shane was blocking joblin and the reds where activated (when they were exiting turn 2 or a little after) and THEN shane got spun when half way down the straight. to me shane was put back in his rightful place.

Another one that had us laughing was when a KK car smacked into the rear of the Roberts tank, with Roberts then shaking his head as if to say "oh my god", and the race hadn't even started!
