Honda Summercross - awash again!

Sunday 29 December: Unseasonal rain caused havoc for the Senior Day at the BOP MCC's annual Summercross with racing coming to a halt after two rounds - said to be worse than 2012.

Honda Summercross 2103 - several high profile riders are missing from the results.

CMR RedBull KTM's Hamish Dobbyn was out with an 'injury' - sustained last week at practice.
Ethan Martens, was 2nd fastest in Practice, and pulled out after 4 laps of Race 1 - told it was an eye problem.
No Darryll King - that has to be a first?
No Blake Gillard - Snow Boarding in Canada.

Awakaponga is pumice sand and with excess water turns to slop. Expensive too, as abrasive on plastics, sprockets, chain, rotors, brakes and the body!
