    I think that would really add something to the event. esp if Laura Mcgoldrick is doing the commentating.

    I'm naming one Uranus.

    "look at Prognini Strognostovich going deep into Uranus."

    I get bored and distracted easily.

    at work they use a carrot and a stick then a kick up the arse. At home nagging doesn't work. I asked her to think about leaving yesterday.

    At least the bike doesn't mind if I ride another.

    I liked the noise, the atmosphere, the speed and the ability to get close to the action, pity it was the #2 track but still awesome to be there.

    I wouldn't be able to get a swinger. No one would be stupid enough. I ride alone.

    nah, only need commentary if I don't know whats happening.

    I like to be next to the action.

    At the speedway I pick the exit of a corner when the Supermodifeds come around

    Well, well, sly old dog you Ed, nice work and hard work to boot, always looks good from the outside but you are up for some serious coin, TK, do/did have a rep for not coming up with the goods.
    Otherwise, Way to go and good luck, I mean that, if it works your company will do well and bikers will enjoy a bloody good event.
    Pleased for you mate.
    Every day above ground is a good day!:

    Thanks mate! In talking to Duncan it sounds like he has the right people to organise it. As the newbie I will be getting all the advice and help I can in order to do it justice. Between him and me anyway, we know and agree on many of the names we want involved. I know the other members have a lot of experience in getting it done, so I will be interested in meeting them shortly.

    Had some interesting conversations about TKR, not sure what to do just now but I'll try to work something out. My sponsorship deal is not a lot of money so far and not likely to increase.

    Copy of email, check out the website when it's launched tomorrow

    The Event

    The Shorai Batteries International Motorcycle Classic is NZ's biggest race meeting and it's blowing up...in a good way. It's getting bigger.
    Nearly 300 riders will launch themselves down the
    track at Hampton Downs Motorsport Park at Labour Weekend.

    And this year it's spreading its wings and morphing into an international event.

    Formerly called the Barry Sheene Classic, it's now the Shorai Batteries International with riders coming from around the globe to compete.
    The International is the feature race each day with the 10 fastest riders
    from NZ, Australia, UK and the Rest of the World forming up to do
    battle.
    The 40 riders will be decked out in their country colours and national pride
    will be on the line as they race their raw, high-octane machines at speeds of
    more than 250 km/ph.
    No traction control, anti-wheelie, launch control or other electronic trickery.
    These machines are the muscle cars of the bike world.

    Full grids is the mantra with race classes for pre-war bikes right through
    to 1989.
    This year we not only have the classic sidecars racing but also the first
    round of the NZ National Championship for modern sidecars.
    Isle of Man TT kiwis will be back to chase the title at Hampton Downs.

    It sounds like thunder and it's modern Bears (British, European, American) racing bikes coming to the event for the first time. Ducati Panagales, RSV4 Aprilias, BMW S1000s, Triumph Daytonas, Buells.

    The Oceania Challenge, an annual points race between Australia and NZ, will
    be incorporated as usual in the meeting. The ozzies won it for the first
    time last year. The kiwis are out for revenge.

    Legends Graeme Crosby and Robbie Phillis will be on stage Sunday night
    in the dinner/entertainment feature. The Great Debate is the feature with
    a team of flightless kiwis taking on some bouncy ozzies to prove which country
    is the quickest.

    Harley Davidson's coming to play at the Shorai International. Bruce Anstey and
    Robert Holden were just two of the great kiwi riders to compete on Harley's.
    We will be featuring Harley dragbikes, hotrods and some eccentric builds in
    the pavilion. There will also be a track ride at lunchtime for those lucky enough to own a Harley and this will be a chance to clear the carbon without a copper up your butt.
    You don't get to be an old dog without learning a few tricks.

    it has been an international event for several years so far, with riders from aussie and the UK present before

    also it was previously called the barry sheene trans-tasman challenge, not the barry sheene classic

    I've yet to see that confirmed
    "If you can make black marks on a straight from the time you turn out of a corner until the braking point of the next turn, then you have enough power."
