and here is the entry and poster (for those who haven't seen it on the BOB thread)

[F5 Dave]

Warwick alerted this to me but I'm still confused? I thought the Auckland club were holding the official MNZ one again along with F4 (as every year). Has this changed then?

This is the NZ 50cc Grand Prix... as in 50cc GP bikes with 8 gears and shit, but yeah any 50cc can compeat and your 50 has a chance as these factory GP bikes are kinda farking old... but there is ment to be a fair few about, I have been told of 4 in ChCh

[F5 Dave]

Wow, that would be good to see if people had these old bikes to race. I'd get Annihilated by a proper Derbi or Kreidler but would be fun to see & get the numbers up. Would it be run as a separate race to the BOB? I'm trying to wrangle an F4 entry atm.

yep 4 classes on the day, F4, F5, SS and 50GP

[F5 Dave]

S e p a r a t e races? Cool. & with a gap between them I could run both F4 & GP! or all 3 if I was silly, but means I'd have to leave the set up F5 as is.

Don't know if el presidente is clued into what fuels are legal for GP?

Anything

I'd be getting some oxygenated methanol or something like that

[F5 Dave]

Maybe a distilled Feijoa 42 Below mix?

Yeah I wouldn't want to irreversibly raise the compression, but I could change the timing/jetting to suit a new fuel

You will clean up Dave, your cometition will be RG50's and a couple of 30 year old shitters dusted off for this meet. They will franticly be trying to find sticky 18" pushbike tyres.

[F5 Dave]

A decent Kreidler will clean my bike up no problem at all.

Tyres would be a major concern for them, but those bikes used to lap big tracks & are stiff enough to cope with the corners. I will win on braking & max cornering traction, but only the hairpin & up & over the connection road would be my advantage.

ummm... I dont know what ya would be worried about Dave, I googled Kreidler and found this pic, dont no what the fuss is about...






I also found a 50cc Kreidler that did 210kph and another that spits out 18hp at 18,000rpm

[F5 Dave]

yeah, that's like 360bhp per litre so kinda shuts people up about these powerful motoGP bikes.

The 1982 was at 19hp at 15600rpm. Pretty old except my RG50 was released about the same time (they took several years to make it over to NZ).

Stupidly peaky but they had the gears to make up for it. I'd love to ride one.

[EJK]

Wow, how much does it weigh? 20kg?
