Thanks to all of those riders who have put their entries in so far and the confirmed Entry list will be put on the Vic club website www.vicclub.co.nz early next week.

My Motto is if you cant be out there racing then the next best thing is to help with the running of a Club and what better club to be Associated with than the Victoria Motorcycle Club of Wellington, so that those who can be out there Racing get the opportunity too.

Well it's about bloody time sheesh anyone'd think ya had to rebuild it or something !(Kidding)
Be good to see ya out on track ! You gonna make the friday test day ?

Be somewhat dissapointed if we can't "maybe" talk the managment of manfield into opening the full track at least for the bikes ! (Know i'd like to see what the bike does through the joins tween short and full) (Gonna be a learning curve to see what the bike does anywhere lol)

[Tony.OK]

Just keep a tight line going in and coming out, more so coming out, if ya go wide it'll push ya too far over. Just remember that the extension has no camber in the turns though aye.
You'll be right big fella, after the triple's she must feel like a thoroughbred racer.

If ya ask nicely and maybe offer to have a couple of riders over there as marshalls they usually accomodate. I did it last year, just asked if I could ride it slowley to get to grips with it.

Spot ya on Sunday, keen to see the new bike of yours mate.

[White trash]

(Know i'd like to see what the bike does through the joins tween short and full) (Gonna be a learning curve to see what the bike does anywhere lol)

Don't do what I did and total your (then) brand new K7 heading out the back. :)

Start emailing Minefeild managment now mate, don't try and spring it on them on the day. They should accomodate ya.

Once you've had a long track, you'll never go back :D

Is that a pot hole?
Decreasing radius turn?
No camber.

Looks like a great fun detour!

It's great fun, I've only done it twice, once on a 150 and once on a 250. The Fast long left has a pretty nasty join right in the middle of the turn, The hair pin is amazingly tight. It makes manfeild so much better than the 3 drag strip special that it is when it's the short course.

I agree its wierd how you go from banked corners into a ultra flat circuit to.

That Hair Pin is scary tight its almost 90 degrees and dead flat then onto the never ending left hander which brigns you out by the sweeper awsome fun

Lets see if I can improve from last years 13th in the wet grid position

You were right, the pin is tight and the join nasty! :gob:

Can't wait to do it again haha! :2thumbsup

[Sketchy_Racer]

It's awesome track, It makes manfeild a riders track rather than 3 drag strips.

Thanks VMCC and all the volunteers that helped out over the weekend. I had a ball and without you guys I wouldn't be. Cheers!

Also a get well soon to all the people that were injured over the weekend. Having been there a couple of times now, I really sympathise for you! Good luck with your recovery to all concerned.

[Sparky Bills]

I love the long track!
As Glen said.. It makes the track a track!
Love those sweeping corners.

[scuzeme]

Yup the long track rocks and i agree with Glen.
I nana'd round the track for the first time in qualifying posting a 2:17 hahahaaa and said to everyone i hated it!
End of the weekend i had managed a 2:04 and couldnt get enough of it!
That pot hole was wicked, sick and evil in that order.

Cant wait to get back out there.

[Duke girl]

Well what a weekend it was.
Got to the track just before 7am Saturday morning with already over 10 vehicles waiting in line for the gates to open to which they did spot on 7, so thanks heaps Sue from Manfeild for that.:2thumbsup.
Set myself up in the office ready for the on slaught of all the riders coming in to sign on and collect their transponders for the weekend. Was very impressed with how many Riders already had their log books already filled out before turning up to sign on :2thumbsup Guys and Girls.
Riders briefing was done just after 8.40 with the Motards going out 1st just after 9 for their 20 minute qualifying with all other classes doing the same when it was their time to get out there. The weather a little chilly at that time of the morning but with no rain in sight.
Saturdays qualifying went off well with all classes getting thru their sessions before we stopped for a half hour lunch break some time after 12.
After lunch and with the time being around 12.45 it was time for the Motards to get out there for their 1st race of 6 laps, followed by all the remaining classes.
LG Superbikes had 10 Laps and were the last class to go out the for the day.
We ended up finishing the day without too many hipcupps and with the weather managing to be kind to us which was Awesome.
Sunday I didn't need to get to the track as early as Saturday as there was no sign on to be done so I felt more relaxed.
Riders briefing was done just before 9 with a 3 lap scrub in for those riders who wanted to go out there and test their bikes for tyres and any mechanical work they had done the night before that needed to be checked before their race was being called up just after 9.
Racing soon got under way with all classes having a 10 Lap race in the morning and a 6 lap race in the afternoon to which a couple of classes at the end of the day didnt manage to get their afternoon racing in due to the ambulance being kept busy with a couple of bad crashes to which riders needed to be transported of to hospital for further treatment and it left us without a free ambulance to which a meeting can not continue on without 1 being at the track available.
Overall a good meeting.
Thanks to all of the flag marshalls, you guys are Awesome and you all do a Great job out there, also thanks to all the VMCC helpers who rock and do their jobs to perfection and the Ambulance people who always do a fantastic job and are such a God send.
I hope most of you who were there either Racing or Spectating enjoyed Round 2 with us and I look forward to seeing you all on the 25th back at Manfeild for Round 3 of the VMCC Actrix Winter series.
Also to those riders who sustained injuries I wish you well with your healing process and look forward to seeing you all back at the track and back out there doing what you all enjoy. Takecare guys and Girls and Thanks for reading this. See you all again soon. Cheers for now. Sue (SKIP) VMCC.

[Little Smurf]

You pretty much summed it up Chick :2thumbsup

It was another great round and alot of great racing to boot. The long track seems to be the one to race on it's not a horse power circuit it comes down to handling and rider and making sure you are using the corners to your afvantage and it's very exciting to watch. We are looking forward to the August round for Long Track again.

Thanks again to all involved in putting on another top meet. I was also surprised to see that the crowd was almost if not as good as Nationals, so you guys and girls who are putting on the show cheers it makes a great weekend of watching motorbikes in our own back yard :banana:

I was impressed with juniors' riding on Sunday, well done to him. What with the two honda superbikes at the front clearing off and then the two young fellas on SS bikes chasing, the rest of the F1 was lacking. G.

Exactly Deano and thats what its all about if we are going to keep Road Racing alive in New Zealand. Its about Guys and Girls getting out there and giving it a go regardless of what their standard is. They all have my 100% support and here's hoping that they all keep going with it so those of them out there who cant do it can at least come along and support those who can.:first::2thumbsup Road Racing Rules and may it Live on Forever.

Onyer bruv..............................not to mention that the 2 up front are NZ's version of factory riders.
Drew being the next litre bike in line was going great for a bike thats out of date.:clap:

At least that race grid was FULL, Not like the LG grid. 10 bikes I think, what is the point to it?

You know full well which comment I was referring to - I even quoted it specifically.

Yes Booth and Neil were flying - I guess you felt the rest of that field was lacking also.

C'mon Shaun, I'd think you of all people would be keen to have a viable competitive Superbike class for your young fullah to graduate to? The way things were going superbikes just didn't make sense with half the track time for virtually the same money as every other class and were pretty much dead in the water.

As it is, with access to F2 qualifying, and an LG supported Superbike race, all of a sudden they are an attractive option again. We are only 2 rounds into the series under the new arrangements but I reckon numbers will pick up. Things are already on the improve and by the time Sketchy straps a thou' between his legs he may just have some serious company.

Superbikes at club level have been shafted for years so ya can't expect it turn around over night. Good on VMCC for helping turn the situation around.

Yes, but maybe 'lacking' didn't have to be used ? Trailing, following,chasing, jeesh ! I'll try and spot you next time but you'll only get praise if you do well.
