Dear Woody and Lorraine, (also sent to Chas)
I write to you to not only offer my sincere thanks for your continued support throughout the past year of my racing, but to also give you a final wrap-up of my successes for the 2007 season. Your continued support has certainly helped us out tremendously this year and I am looking forward to another great year in 2008.
I have really enjoyed riding the CRF 150 this year and love the power. I am looking forward to riding a CRF 150 (08 model) in 2008. It has been another successful season for me with lots of traveling across the country to contest all the disciplines I enjoy.

My results for 2007 are as follows:
·        1^st Place   -   Australian National Off-Road Series –  14-U16yrs (10 Rounds)
       (This series was again contested in 3 States – 4 rounds in NSW, 4 rounds in Victoria and 2 rounds in Queensland)
·        1^st  Place  -   NSW Enduro Series – 14-15yrs (4 Rounds)
·        1^st Place   -   NSW Sprint Series – 14-U16yrs (8 Rounds)
·        5^th place   -   NSW Motocross Series – 14-U16yrs (3 Rounds)
(I missed 1 round in this series due to coinciding with another event)
·        1^st Place   -   NSW 2Day State Minikhana Championships
·        1^st  Place   -  Junior Trials Minicycle Club - Junior Combined Big Wheel
(6 point score rounds over the year, I was only able to attend 4 of the 6 rounds)
Thanks again Woody and Lorraine for the great support you give me and I am looking forward to contesting all the above series in 2008 and hopefully continuing with the success I have had this year.
            Thanking you,

DYLAN ROSE

WONTHAGGI 2007
 Load up the trailer and car and head South for 1156kms to Wonthaggi, a small town at the bottom of Victoria, just past Phillip Island.  With heavy rain early in the week, the track was heading for a washout.  With fine weather on Thursday and Friday, the track dried out and the stage was set for the National Off-Road - Rounds 9 and 10. 160 of Australia’s best riders are ready to tackle the awesome set-out track, which now has the newly added Extreme Section, making it more interesting for the competition.The secret of a good finish is to have good lap times in the first 2 to 3 rounds of each day and then try to put in consistent times all day.  I’ve found this proves to be a good recipe.With 2 big days of solid racing ahead of me, aboard my HONDA CRF150, which performed faultlessly, I tackled the ruts, whoops, extreme section, riding through shipping containers and whatever else they threw at me.  I enjoy racing this style of event and I was lucky to win both Saturday and Sunday.I am looking forward to the last two rounds of this series, which are being held at Gwandalan on the 8^th and 9^th September and I am hoping the wrap up the Australian Championship for 2007.
