NZ Mini TT Champs 2012, 14-15 July

I dunno about 90-100mph, there is still heaps of wheel spin even at that speed, and awesome stinging roost..
The place chops up bigtime, its all pumice topsoil with the occasional turnip chucked in.. using a sand/mud tyre is a good idea.
Still need some grunt though, the place gets so soft and chopped up, especially the berms, you can disappear into some of them and bog down if your geared to high.

I'm getting stoked just talking about it..

Sounds like the good old days of beach racing!!

[raglanash]

Yeah, roost, huuuge braking bumps and big straights, love that shit!
You so have to get good starts or it's an ugly first couple laps..
Track changes so much over the weekend, the poor paddock gets fu#ked right over.
I'll try find some pic's..

Yeah his old man was just as loose.

If you can't/won't fit a steering damper...maybe drop the rear of the bike a lil or push the fork legs down through the clamps to raise the front a lil? Give it a lil more rake?

OK if this doesn't get you stoked your dead..



Top pic is the old track, they run it on the other side of the fence now top right. Same wide open shit though.

And Scott if you see you mate #9 Mr moto kawi, I think his name is Able?? tell him to stay out of the intermediates the bloody sock cutter!!

[CHOPPA]

His name is Luke Temple, and he had forgotten his MNZ liceicne so they would not let him ride the championship class, (but let him by a day liceince to race the non championship class) he is was the real number 9 in the 450 class at the time,

[raglanash]

Ahh haha sweet. He smoked us all. He did look a bit bored...

Is there an old broken man on an old bike class?

[scott411]

I do not think they run a vintage class, however I think you would be competitve in teh support class, esp early on before it gets to rough, drum brakes normally means hell corner speed,

thinking about it i might even run support, i have not raced a national event in a long time,

You and I both Scotty! That would be fun!

When was the last time we raced together in a national event? Must have been Pro 125 in 99? It was a terrible year haha I did get a couple of top 10s but im not gonna comment on our overall placings....

It was my first year in the seniors and I got a beating! Leon Andrew took me down hard and chipped a bone in my elbow at Whangarei. Oh and remember Chad Reed taking the big ass short cut the cheating c*&t

Correction. A 31 year old YZ465 might be a lil, but a washed up unfit piss drinking 45 year old most certainly won't be!

Guys of your ability, along with Chopper, can fuck off and play with the big boys!
