AMCC Club Series R5 - April 2015

I've just put up the photos from yesterday's racing at round 5 of the Auckland Motorcycle Club series. The photos are mainly of the Superlite and Clubman racing but there are others there too. There's also a short race report from myself if you're after a read from an excitable 125GP rider.

Yeah was good fun having a battle with the Doctor! Dr Bagshaw that is. Was good to see the pretender GP bike was up to pace with a proper GP bike. Best not get any faster Steve if you want GP 250's legit for F3.

Have to say, those were my thoughts too...
Great to see all the two strokes out there, looked like you all had a barrel of fun.

Good times. I think I probably had 1 more sec in me with a bit more track time, right lines, shorter braking zones and some more carrots to chase.
10kg+ off the belly would be worth another sec.
Correct gearing and rear spring might be worth another 0.5 s
But good times.
RichBans bike was the only one left standing at the end of the day!!

Did not see the racing, but keep those 2 strokes coming folks

I was thinking more like 20kgs
I'll have to start rethinking the TZ in a glass box idea. Looked sooooo much fun.

The NSR300s are a cool bit of kit, producing really good speeds (a few silly issues ending the fun for some).

What is a complete NSR300 Kit worth to buy if some one was interested in building one up?

I think landed 2.6k NZ. Then you would need an igntech and better hi comp inserts. So 3k on top of a very strong bottom end should do it. Oh and then you will need pipes so add another 800 to a grand unless you make them yah self.

There are some good rumours on the go as to who else is building them. I started one. His name rhymes with cloud. But its not true. But I did try and plant the seed on Sunday.

Anyone catch up with Leigh about his RS450? I heard the engine ate itself?

Bloody good racing over the weekend! The VMCC series definitely has my vote, there were so many races and not all of them were even run!
Photos and race report up tonight. I'm dooling over a NSR300 now after the weekend, damn my wallet can only handle so much.

It looked that way. I suggested he borrowed Russel Forrest's "wet" FZR but he didn't like the idea. As it happened, Russel got sent home early anyway lol. Makes a change me not being the naughty boy.

Weekend of ups and downs for me, although as to be expected for it's first run on the track!

Started to get the feel for it in the last race I did, really think these things have potential for some good lap times!

Scratcha. what happened for Russel to get sent home???
