So, as I mentioned in the previous post I was looking forward to heading over to Wanganui on Boxing Day to watch the racing at the Cemetery Circuit and to catch a glimpse of Guy Martin in action.
I rode over fairly early and found myself a bit of a good spot for taking photos of the action. Practice and qualifying were in progress and it gave me plenty of time to sort out the camera and start getting a "few" pics...

On completion of the qualifying it was time to get stuck into the racing. More pictures were taken and there was some interesting action to be seen...
For a bit of a break I went for a roam around the pits and then wandered around the circuit where I ran into a few other locals and tried out a few different locations for pics.
Then it was back into the pits again for another poke around and I stumbled across some dude's bikes being prepared for the next races...
Then it was time for some more classic action:
After this race I decided to take off as I had to pop into work. On the way back I managed to avoid getting into trouble with all the HP that were out on the road but did however run into three nasty little showers.
All in all a great day out and nice to see our Pommy visitor out having a bit of fun on NZ's most famous road racing circuit.
Lots more pics
here or just the best GM ones

That looks like a bit of fun. And you got some good shots of GM too which is what you were hoping for.
ReplyDeleteGreat photos there Andrew.
ReplyDeleteI just worked with a guy for the last 3 days that was there for the races. He said it was a great day out.
