    Bob 2016

    Who is interested in BOB this year, there are 2 dates that we could probably be able to use September 24 Levels
    October 16 Ruapuna, Ruapuna would be full track , Levels would be too but its a much more buckety track.
    If we could have an indication of numbers we can start talking with CAMs who have hosted the BOB for the last few years.

    Things change B track is gone , lets make the new format work !

    MCI are running King of Levels the next day funnily enough on the same track, we could make a weekend of this !!!!!!!!!!!

    Sept 24, Levels, far better track for Buckets as a full track
    "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."

    A big track where the mighty Team ESE 32 hp 120mph Beast can stretch its legs in a multy way front straight tussle with the Team GPR rocket and Kels Green Meany Kawasaki, Farmakens 110 water cooler, hopefully a few NI bikes will make it down.

    Sept 24 CAMS Levels
    Sept 25 MCI KOL4?? Ruapuna??? Think that's supposed to be KOR1 at Ruapuna??
    Still a great weekends racing for locals and Norfies

    Oct 16 CAMS Ruapuna
    Oct 23 Greymouth Street Races
    Great opportunity for the Norfies to do BOB and then Greymouth the next weekend. Leave your bikes here for us to pilfer all your secrets while you fly home on your $29 cheapie tickets and back the next weekend? The GPR guys did that a couple of years ago. Seemed to work out ok.

    I don't mind Ruapuna at all. Yeah the straight is a bit boring if you're on your own but good fun if you're slipstreaming somebody or demon out braking the prick who just slipstream by you at the end of it. If the straight is an issue we could probably introduce a tyre chicane to break it up? Cheers.
    Sometimes you wish it was easier, but if it was, everyone else would do it, then you remember you don't want to be like everybody else!

    A straight full of chicanes will sort you lot out

    If it's levels and you want another variation, there's nothing stopping you using the short version which cuts out some straight and the fast lefts...

    If you do use long track 'Puna, road cone chicanes...back to the roots of the BoB where a track would be laid out on the tarmac at Wigram using cones.

    The October date is a Sunday so I would like to make the effort if that was the case.
