Motorcycling New Zealand motocross commissioner Lindsey Heileson said : “ The racing was fantastic . “ New champions were crowned in every single class . Apart from the eldest of the junior girls ’ classes , where Raetihi ’ s Karaitiana Horne finished the weekend unbeaten , none of the titles were decided until the final race . “ The standard of racing was top-notch . I felt the facilities here were outstanding and the club and committee did a splendid job . This would have to be one of the top tracks in the country . I could see a senior nationals event being held here in the future ,” said Heileson . “ The racing was truly phenomenal and I don ’ t think I ’ ve seen anything as close and exciting in a long time .”
