Hampton completes the set.

Hampton takes heat 2

Ryan Hampton continued on his winning way in the final leg of the Burt Munro Challenge held in the rural town of Wyndham.

A 40 minute ride from Invercargill sees the hamlet transformed into a street racing track with all classes of machines navigating their way around the hay-baled streets at breakneck speeds.

Hampton's 'Hampton Honda' CBR1000RR was again the dominant machine at the track and the likable Cantabrian put in another powerful performance to take two of the three heats contested.

The third heat was the only glitch in team Hampton's entire challenge.

According to team Boss Robin Hampton, 'Ryan missed the start and ended up fourth after the first corner, then on the start straight he committed to an inside pass on Lee Munro which ended up with quite a large tank slapper entering turn one, he managed to save the slapper but ended up too wide exiting the corner, hit some loose hay on the track, then hit the deck. After a very short, abrupt self criticism he was back on the bike and back on the gas, carving through the field. After 3 laps he had got back to fourth and set the unofficial overall lap record for the Wyndam circuit at 36.372.'

Robin then noted 'I have gone back through My Laps history the best time I can find is Andrew Stroud at 37.567, so in the meantime until someone can verify a quicker time we will claim the record.'

Fantastic stuff!

Lee Munro finished second overall with three 2nd place finishes on his Ducati 999s and Jamie Galway's Daytona 675 finished third in the 'Jim Beam' Formula Wyndham class.

Munro was also successful winning the BEARS class races.

Bryan Hill from Ashburton claimed the Formula Three title on his SV650 while Gavin Veltmeyer took the Super Motard Open title in a motard-typical series of great dices with Chris Manson and Jason Feaver.

Brent Scammell took the Super Motard up to 450cc class on his Honda CRF450RA and brought the crowd to its feet with a huge mono across the line.

Kevin Orr's Yamaha FZR600 took the pre '89 class and Sid Chaloner added to his collection of Munro-bilia by winning all three heats in the pre '82s on his Suzuki GSX.

A good crowd, estimated at more than 5,000 stood behind the bales to watch the meet.

The end of the day's racing saw the conclusion of the 2010 Burt Munro Challenge. It was again a fantastic event, this year blessed with generally good conditions and more great racing.

Congratulations to all who raced, organised and attended. One hell of a weekend.
