The Sunday after Meeanee saw the running of the NZ GP at Kihikihi on a hot dry track. The heats proved busy with many spins and cautions and some un- organisation with the restarts it made for long heat races. Darren managed to avoid most of the spins to finish the 1st heat in a good postion, the second heat was much the same with many spins and restarts, however after slowly moving up thru the feild with 3 laps to go the powersteering pump failed and caused Darren to retire to the infeild for the remainder of the meeting, missing out on starting the feature.
