Luke Sharp in Prompt Parts during the last heat of NZGP
Unofficially Ken Lupton is leading the points race in the NZGP going into
the Rotoiti Round on March 8th & 9th.
Points will be added as we get them made official.
Ken and Warwick broke away to lead the field having a good close battle
until Warwick came to a stop on the start straight. After that only David
was a threat to Ken but failed to catch him. Malcolm Jamieson came in
3rd from Peter Thomas and Tom Hefernan then Luke Sharp.
10th
February - Thunder on the Lake (4.10pm)
Warwick and Mark
Cromie had a showdown race which Warwick won with Ease
Still waiting for the last race of the day which is the 2nd heat of the
NZGP race Tom Hefernan is going for a perfect finishing record in this
Heat. During his visit here he has been ever so reliable doing all 3 runs
at Wanganui and so far 3 races here at Karapiro a feet that is so far
unmatched by the other GP's in attendance
10th
February - Thunder on the Lake (3.40pm)
Warwick and Ken
having to chase down Scott Coker
The First Heat of the NZGP has just finished and it was Scott Coker who
led for the first two Laps of the Heat as Warwick and Ken Lupton chased
him down. The pair passed Scott on a turn and unfortunately Fair Warning
came to a halt soon after. David Alexander retired mid race with a starving
engine and the team are now replacing it before heat 2.
The Crowd have been very patient with the Drizzle today
10th
February - Thunder on the Lake (3.00pm)
Warwick Lupton
storms past David Alexander in Heat 2 of the Masport Cup
They changed the programme around and ran the Masport Cup first and
will run the GP Nationals later today.
The Second Heat of the Masport Cup has only just been Run and david
Alexander took off to an early lead from Malcolm Jamieson. Warwick and
Ken Lupton both were late on the Start and had to catch the Field Ken
was running well for 3 laps before pulling out with a mechanical fault.
Warwick was devastating in catching and passing the whole field and
easily won the second Heat.

Steve Hughes Total Lubricants
Boat isn't to badly Damaged but wont be racing today.
The day looks a little overcast and rain is expected to fall at some point.
That aside it should be a very good Day. Mike Ryan and Low Blow will not
be racing his GP today due to Engine problems, but instead he will drive
Tony Halls Tempest Boat in the days Modified Hydroplane races including
the Marsh Motorsport's Trophy.
