Getting the learn from Tony Rees :)

**kiwifruit** · 19th May 2006, 16:46

had a great time at the track today
managed to get some fairly average quality video from my tank cam... featuring Tony Rees showing me how its done, lol.
Did my best to hang on to him, but of course i couldnt :P
was doing 1:55 which im happy with
coulda gone faster, if i was a better rider :-D

**loosebruce** · 19th May 2006, 16:53

1.55 aye, not too shabby Allan, you got some work to do before sunday though

lines are looking good, just need to brake harder, lean further, accelarate harder, sounds easy eh.
I'll be bringing my bullet camera and stuff down for this one, time to play around a bit me thinks

**DemonWolf** · 19th May 2006, 16:56

Cheers for the footage Kiwifruit. Looking good.

Loosebruce.. be sure to post your stuff up mate =)

**kiwifruit** · 19th May 2006, 16:57

Thanks Bruce

yeh, i know, im slow :P
i dont think i have the skills to do alot better
was trying pretty hard
was hoping to grab some pointers from tony but he was abit busy....

For sure Demon, no doubt i'll show you some gravel close up again.

Allan, first place to work on the back straight, open that sucker up, you can brake at the 150 board easy from full speed, you should still be hard on the brakes right through the first left of the esses onto the front straight, turn 5 the tightish RH in the infeild, it's actully baffling just how fast you can take it, a real decieving corner, through the esses you can be quite hard on the gas, saftley and also when braking for the sweeper leave it real late and deep on the brakes in the corner, alot of people lose out with braking hard into corners, the front has a lot of grip to offer, it's all practice mate, will catch you on sunday, go in the fast group and tag along for a bit

Holy shit. Thanks for posting that vid kiwifruit

. That track looks like so much fun. There seem to be more flip-flop esses than the map on their website shows? Just before you got onto the dragstrip stretch. The more the merrier as Robin Hood would say. What sort of bike were you on?
Looking forward to finally getting on to a brand new track. That doesn't happen in NZ every year, decade, lifetime.

You gotta change your forum sex after I learn you with my worn tyres, missing cylinder, loose chain and pulled hamstring (not to mention the bike's running on diesel 'cos I can't afford petrol)

Not going by their map on the Taupo raceway website. The new track doesn't use any of the old track. It's not like anyone's going to complain if the bulldozer driver was drunk and made another bend

.

EDIT: Ok, just watched it again. You're right Saslex, they turned onto the old track
