This is quite an inticing event, but the $300 each way ferry prices are prohibitive to say the least. Maybe next year!

7th June 2009, 18:30

Well my form is in the post. I only entered in F5, I think the chance of both my clavicle being sorted by then & having a going F4 bike with baby wrangling in between are stretching things a bit.

Saw the race bike yesterday. Pushed it over compression just to change position of the engine.

Mind you I dropped the MB engine on my finger the week before. I'm not sure that's serious progress though.

I think I'll have to put an entry in (with the post dated cheque, great idea btw) to make sure I don't miss out and then decided in november if I do it or not. I need to find out the dates for nationals first and then make the call if I can afford the time off work/cost to get up there.

It's a very cool event and I will have to make the effort one of these years!!

Hey what did we say about that. Swedish rounding remember. 19 = 20hp plus the usual plus 10% talk it up factor so really what you mean to say is that you have a 22hp bucket sitting in your shed without the chamber working. Ah yes that's better.

hi ryanfO62, we usually run buckets & 150 s/s together, not sure this year will make a decision when entries close so we can see the numbers entered. The bucket GPs are for buckets only, so you can race a bucket in that & your 150 s/s in the combined races if we do combine them. hope that helps

With the f5 & s/stock combined we have 34 entries, but some are double ups and cannot ride both bikes at once, works out to about 29 on track at moment, with 42 spots available.

hi dellorto, yes i have your entry, & also a messege that you want a garage. please let me know if you want it for both days or just 1. Regarding the s/stock class they will run alongside the buckets so you cant race both in the same races, & i think we are going the way of MNZ & running 250 twins with the 150 s/stocks, & not 250 4s, & 250 4s would be to slow for clubmans. hope this helps

... so what??????...So what? OK, let me slow it down and explain it again just for you!

I was not trying to be antagonizing in the least. I was responding to the comment made that because Dangerous is not going to the TRRS, that the cup would stay in the North island. There is still one South Island rider attending and he happens to be a very good rider, so it’s never in the bag until the winners cross the line!

However it seems you did not read the rest of the comments before jumping to conclusions and riding off on your high horse.

Do you always expect that people have the worst intentions when they say something? If that’s the case, then maybe I’m not the wally?

I had a nicely baited line there Dave...

There you go Skunk, Takes a while, but you caught one.

Shaun, You've never met AJ have you? Don't expect anything serious to proceed from his keyboard or mouth, it's just banter.

Man you would have had a hysterectomy on the old Visordown site with the amount that most of the (mostly chch) participants ragged on each other. :shutup:

It's all just talk, don't let it rile ya.

after going to the track id say its far to say its going to go to a skilled rider on a fxr150.......a 5 speed bike just wont be able to keep up.....thats why im trying to make my bike as fast as possible so i have an advantage on the straights

but i could be wrong

I would still be afaid of there damm ESE bikes, with a decent bit of track, damm. And if F5 daves arm heals and he gets the 100 running (1 only slightly more likely than the other but a chance still:laugh:)

But remember the still have to be running come race time and rick won on a FXR with a carb change and skinny tyres :shit: so anything is possible

when i went for the track day i was flat out in 6th for about 4 seconds on the back straight {short circuit} so if your bike is faster on the straight than somone elses your going to have a big advantage......but it dosnt always mean yuor going to win.......for examnple i over took 3 gsx1400's even though they did about 180km/h on the straight and i did about 140km/h they jsut couldnt get me and my little bike :laugh:.

but the bottom line is: taupo is WAY more fun with more power

Any muppet can go fast in a straight line, it's the corners where it counts. Boys, it's always about speed and size isn't it? :laugh:

I'm guessing you havn't seen a fast two-stroke bucket in action then?

It will go to a two stroke if the fast ones don't all blow up!

Oh, and unless the track is REALLY open (Like taupo) it is ALL about the rider!

I don't need to do 140 to pass other riders. I just wait patiently at the back of the pack and wait for everyone else to knock each other off, fall off, lose something vital off their bike or blow their motor up at the end of the straight ;) (why is there no tongue-in-cheek smiley?)
