Last one was an 8 lapper and a 12 lapper from memory, but they ran over time, so hopefully they dont cut it down.

Umm...how you gonna ride both of them in pre 89?

Junior and Senior, providing they aren't run together

Yup, what he said.

Ill need to find a bit more fuel capacity for the vfr though I reckon, as my little tank probably wont do it (5.5-6L). Not for the 12 lapper anyway.

You could just get it serviced so that it isn't spitting so much fuel out the exhaust:shutup:

Dont you worry about my bike. My 'finely tuned race machine' just needs more air, to turn that fuel dripping out the exhaust into afterburners.

[Peter Smith]

Which track are they using for this event at Taupo?

Track 1 (the full track)

[Peter Smith]

Awesome!! any more details, track layout - laps per race?? number of races etc.
We will be using track 1 (the full track). There will be a practice sesion (which will sort out grid positions) followed by 2 races per class.
The last race for each class will be their GP race, this will be a longer race.
The number of laps will be sorted when we know the number of bikes in each class, as some classes maybe join together if the number of bikes is too low.

Please note: this meeting is for national titles so please have your bikes set up as per the NZPCRA rules, these are on their website. http://www.nzpostclassics.org.nz/

Our Club raced an 851 many years back with Glen Williams as the pilot.We won the Conti cup at the Sound of Thunder about 5 times as well many other races:beer:.Great bike.... Our current bikes dont hang around either.:dodge:.See you on the 31st

[Benk]

You could if I wasnt riding it man. Gunna do both classes. What about your 600?

I remember those days well. I bought my 851 Kit bike from John Gurney at Auckland Motorcycle. I won the Northern Sound of Thunder in '93 when it was held at Bay Park. (2 first places) Jason McKewen had your old bike by then, but it dropped a piston.

I think I have a photo of that bike at Manfield when they ran BEARs as a support race the day before the 6 hr, next closest bike to it was the K100 with Bill Biber on it (I think)

[Rob Taylor]

Now that would be worth having a look at.Got a scanner???

Yea your on to it.Thats the bike alright.By that stage is was bigger in the ccs.Had alot of work down to it and was quicker than the factory racing Ducati's,much to their dismay....

[Kickaha]

I will try and find it, I'll have to dig through a few hundred of photos to find it

[scracha]

Forked forks so to speak. The 'cane is down at Paul's and the CBR400 is gonna get serious work done to it as it currently couldn't pull the skin of a rice pudding. Methinks I'll be marshalling or taking photos.

Unless I race the TDM in open twins :-)

[discodan]

Has anyone got spare room in thier pit shed for next weekend Sat/Sun? I'm doing both days. Cheers.

Hi Daniel,
The garages are free at the Post Classic GP. We are going to try and put each class into a group for the spectators to view.
At least we won't be racing each other like at Vic round 5.
