[email protected] First off this month, a heartfelt congratulations to all the trophy winners from the 2019 Feilding Auto Electrical Winter Series. It takes time, commitment, a passion for the sport, a fair degree of skill, and sometimes a little luck to achieve the results that let you stand on the top step at the end of a championship, so I rightly take my hat off to you. I hope you all enjoyed the prize giving evening and the accolades because they are very well deserved. Remember however, it also takes other competitors to push you to levels you may not have otherwise reached, so a big shout out to ALL those that enjoyed competing in what is probably the best race series in the country. Let’s make sure we build the series, year on year, by continuing to spread the word about our sport and offering the same friendly, encouraging and inclusive atmosphere to anyone wishing to “have a go”. A big thank you also to all the sponsors who make the whole thing viable for the club to run. Without their support it just wouldn’t happen, so remember that next time you go shopping – support those that support us. I read an interesting statistic recently. Apparently there are now more surgeon hours spent dealing with Lime scooter injuries than those resulting from motorcycle accidents in this country. As a bike rider I wonder where ACC sits on this given that I pay an absolute fortune in ACC levies as part of my registration costs because I am deemed to be, rightly or wrongly, at high risk.
