    Anyways, the little 50 projects are taking shape. The target is a rather conservative 11hp for my one, and the sky's the limit with Scott's. Hopefully they will be ready early next year. Mint!

    I just had the maddest dream.

    Burt Munro Challenge looks awesome, and I guess it would be every bucket racers dream to knock that one off so to speak. Chances of getting into a street race with so many competitors always looks slim to non existent.

    Just had a peak at the local Kart Track on the web, very close to Oreti Beach, right in the thick of the action.

    Food for thought, maybe they would be receptive for a two day event.

    I will go take some more pills now...delusions fading, feelings of grandeur diminishing...

    Put it on a slope and it looks like Kaitoki.
    Don't you look at my accountant.
    He's the only one I've got.

    Palmy boys - Terrene and I are coming down for the Manfield racing on 12-13 December. On the scrounge for a portable generator for tyres warmers. Any chance you likely lads have one we can borrow for the weekend? cheers, Rod

    Can't see it happening sorry...Officials are always in short supply at the Burt. Teretonga, Saturday, late PM the officials make a run for the speedway to run that meeting. Finding a gap in the programme would be very hard. Plus there's next to no bucket activity there so very small local competitor base to draw on.
    If you want to run a bucket on a street circuit, come to Methven at Easter...Great day out.

    The good thing about Manfield is there is power everywhere. Even out on the grass there are posts sticking out of the ground. you should be sweet.

    My RG50 was 59.5kg with a fanatical approach to weight. Was actually heavier in the RS chassis.
