Racing is over.  The Kansas people were just great and loved having the aussies around.  Pete's photo pretty well sums up how we went over the series.  The best race of all was the last one at Stockton where Pete and I bashed it out for 8 laps with Pete winning by half a bike.  Both took home a swag of 1sts and a few 2nds and 3rds.  Met Dave Aldana who was racing the seriesv- 63 and still fast.  Will post photo's later.

What a series, Davey landed in country assembled his Honda (bottom and top end) then drove 800 miles to race, jet-lagged and knackered. Took a little time at the first meet to get his head around the speed then took off and won everything he entered, great effort mate.

Given the results I've seen I think there's been a change of leadership in the Griffith Mafioso.
All hail Don Grasy.
Well done to you both.

Pete & I are both blessed to have the wives we have supporting us,They would help start the bikes,push them to the dummy grid,and always looked great with their big Aussie smiles.
Can't thank Bill & Nancy enough they made the trip so easy,(workshop,tools,accommodation,The Red Rocket Truck & friendship)
We will be back next year for sure.
