[Ray LeCheminant]

it just supose to be late rain......

Heres hoping it is....all I need is enough time to run the engine in , and get the clutch setup.....

Initial "driveway" testing is impressive .....once I got the clutch right....big leasson in clutch setup...ME FAT - Connor NOT ....different setting for clutch :Oops:

[DELLORTO]

riding in the rain is fun anyway.....:headbang:

[Leyton]

Weather appears to be good :) It will be a little breazey but thats about it till around 2pm+ when the weather is planning to make its move :)

[DELLORTO]

at 2pm the fun starts!......:2guns:

[dirtybomb]

Damn rain! Every time I decide to race! Murphy must be following me around...

[DELLORTO]

it will be perfect conditions in the morning and then it MIGHT rain from
from 0-1mm of rain is expected it suposed to be windy and 24 degrees so i would be suprised it the track stays wet for more than half an hour......

[BigAl]

I like your thinking Max, everyone think positive and hope the wind keeps the rain away.:rolleyes:

[Ray LeCheminant]

Connor will be ok - he's on SAVA licorice.....

But only running in, so he won;t probably get up to speed until mid afternoon anyway....

P.S The weather in Pukekohe is packing in NOW - yuck

[BigAl]

Awesome day today, rain stayed away, plenty of motos on the track and everyone having fun.
Big thanks also to Brett and Tim for organising a BBQ afterwards, it went down well with a few bevies.;)

[DELLORTO]

yup great day looking foward to my 50cc kit! :yes: watch out alan :Punk:

[Leyton]

Looking forward to some photos ! :)

[Ray LeCheminant]

How's your head Max - that was a pretty nasty tumble you took......

Today was a big learning curve for us, but we learnt a few things...so that's important.

Cheers

His name was Dean, DB. He is going to send me low res copies which I'll put up on the nzmmrc site. High res copies will be available, I'll post a thread when they come through.
