AMCC August meeting?

[DELLORTO]

hae i know pumba put the date down as the 14 & 15 of august but on the amcc site it says the 18 & 19 of august {thats a wednesday and thursady} whats going on???

[boostin]

And the newsletter has it as 8/9th?

[Pumba]

Sorry been meaning to fix that. Latest AMCC newsletter (http://www.amcc.co.nz/Newsletter/Jul09/newsletter_Jul09.htm)has it down for 8 & 9 August, and so does the Mt Wellington Kart Club calander (http://www.mwkc.org.nz/index.cfm/Race_Calendar/2009_Planning_Calendar/2009_Planning_Calendar.html/2009_Planning_Calendar.pdf), so that is date I am going with

[fixer]

Well, I'm baffled and confused and getting a bit nervous. The AMCC newsletter says august 8-9. The AMCC website says august 18-19. That's probably meant to be 8-9. I've just looked at the Mt Wgtn kart club site and it shows august 15-16 in their calendar PDF which was supposedly updated in June this year! Sh*t! I'm supposed to be in Motueka on the 8th and 9th. I've just asked Wendy Lowe to confirm. I think i'm going to be sh*t out of luck and I'm going to have to move the sodding flight. Bollocks. Tim

dont want to lose that nice lead of yours do you :laugh:

[fixer]

Not this early in the championship. The next meeting in august will be the first time i've ever got to start from pole position. But that will be friggin hard if i'm in MOTUEKA!!!

[Pumba]

Crap, well now I am confused as the rest of you. I thought the MWKC website had the same date as the newsletter.

ANSWERS WE NEED ANSWERS!!!!!!

[DELLORTO]

i havnt missed a mt wellington meeting in 2 years...:Punk: so i deffinitly cant miss this one even if it was the 18th 19th {wednesday,thursday} school comes second to bike racing :niceone:

who knows what would happen to A grade if you arnt there.....:shifty:

[Pumba]

It is pretty safe to say it wont be the 18 or 19th

[DELLORTO]

good but still the amcc need to give us some info or the meeting is going to be fuxcked

You don't need pole you've hole shotted the starts for ages anyway LOL!

Go on go on your trip and give the championship a bit more interest Haha

[F5 Dave]

The only way to hole shot in Auckland seems to be the one who jumps the start even more than Dave D.:shutup:

esp in reverse direction that 1st corner is brutal. In MX they often face constant jumpers the wrong direction. That would be funny on a bike with no steering lock.

[Henk]

I wonder how backward falling start gates would go at a road race? Could be entertaining.

[fixer]

Just back on the original subject for a moment, I've received emailed confirmation via Wendy Lowe from Dave D that it's definitely the 8th and 9th. Well sh*t ... that certainly messes up my travel plans for that weekend. Ain't no way i'm givin up that pole position without a fight! :-) Tim

dont worry they told me they would have it the weekend after just for you :done:

honest
:shifty:

[fixer]

Hmmm ... please pardon my skepticism. :-)

[UNSTABLE]

Aw go on Tim, give the rest of us a chance...:ride:

[SHELRACING]

This is definetly the date for the next race meet at Mt Welly. :woohoo:

[Buckets4Me]

ah no it's not come up the weekend after :laugh: remember tim wont be there

[fixer]

I'll be there. My trip to the South Island will have to be postponed. My bike and I survived a day's racing in the gloriously sunny Hawkes Bay and we're ready for more action. Come on Robert ... that green paint job must've taken at least a second off your lap times!

[Pumba]

Well now we have figured out what weekend we are racing and that Tim is going to make an apearance (bugger) I can say that the weather looks like it is going to be crap.

The only good news is that the long range forecasts have been really unreliable that there is still a chance of :sunny:

[Henk]

Great news on the weather, think I'll go out into the driveway and practice lying on the ground.

Don't forget to get her indoors to throw a 'bucket' of water over you while you're doing it... I'll suggest that to her tomorrow...

Well, it might of... except I was riding like a bit of a girl last meeting (no offense to the fairer sex intended). Still not that thrilled at the prospect of reverse direction and rain... Still that sweeper is a bit hairy when wet too...

[speedpro]

it'll be fine, hang right off, pitch it in and give it the gas. The trick is to be committed and it will all be good.


Oh yeah, . . . wet!


Commitment is the key. You aren't afraid of commitment are you?? I've found that once you are committed that the food isn't too bad.

[Henk]

Tyres scrub in faster in the wet cos the water washes the release agent stuff off, right?

[SHELRACING]

Granma here.

I love the reverse direction. Especially in the wet! Just a bit scary coming into Hell's corner from full speed down the straight.

Now......we just gota get at least one bike fixed.
Hopefully the parts for the TZ will arrive tomorrow.

[SHELRACING]

So does this mean Pumba, you finally got those wets you been dreaming about?

TZ bits arrived today and Steve got bike back together and so far it all looks good. :Punk:

[Pumba]

But I really should put the swingarm back on the bike some time in the next few days though.

Dave M rode Team ESE's No14 like a demon and deserves a bravery award.

[DELLORTO]

I'd have to agree, that boy's got big kahunas that's for sure...

I suppose we can expect to see a lot more effort from team ESE at the next meet then.. :rofl:

Don't forget TZ when the front 'drops out' without warning just use your knee to hold the bike up. :rofl::rofl:

:rofl::rofl::rofl: I'm so funny at times, ask Wobbler

[TZ350]

Year Right.................. I think I will just do the normal and fall off. :wacko:

I have only touched my knee once and that was on the ripple strip, I nearly fell off in fright.

[speedpro]

Yeah, Gaz, Karl, and Manwell were interesting to talk to at the racing. Casually mentioning about losing the front EVERY time into the infield and stuff like that. The last race Manwell gave my front wheel a little rub with his shoulder as he went past on the sweeper.

I took a few pics of buckets in the pits. Some are looking very nice indeed.

[speedpro]

couple more

ye time to paint your bike again I cant tell it apart anymore to many green bikes :confused:

Rosie has plenty of pics as well from the racing on sunday

[DELLORTO]

yuck!! those kawasaki green fxr's are infesting the track :shifty: lol.......

[UNSTABLE]

Well what a cool day's racing yesterday. I'm so pumped I want to do it again tomorrow!!!
Man the pace was just insane, I was well happy to be up there trying to hang on to the fast guys... Had a couple of really good battles with Rick, great to have someone to mix it up with, now I've just got to figure out how to ride faster to keep up with Tim, Gary and Karl...How hard can that be....:shit:.....:laugh:

I have to say I think I now enjoy the reverse direction more, I had only run a few warm-up laps that way prior to this meeting, and I was a bit hesitant, but after yesterday I love it. :Punk:

Thanks to all the people that make it happen, see you all next time.
Bring on the next one I say!

[UNSTABLE]

And there's nothing wrong with Kawasaki green thank you! :2guns:

[DELLORTO]

my guess is that tim's bike is going to be ALOT faster than it was on sunday next meeting.....

it just shows the level of skill you need these days in buckets to win.....i mean Karl mogan is a sponsored 600 sp rider and even some of the "bucket" guys were on his tail......

although you cant just have a "bucket" to win anymore you need a seriosly modded cb twin or a fast 2 smoker or a fxr150.....apart from that its hard to get anywhere

[Henk]

Great day. Thanks for drawing my attention to the fact that I have the ugliest bike in the paddock :bleh:

[Rick 52]

[I have to say I think I now enjoy the reverse direction more, I had only run a few warm-up laps that way prior to this meeting, and I was a bit hesitant, but after yesterday I love it]

Bloody hell if thats how you go after just a few laps by the end of the season you could be passing Tim Karl and Gary Yes it was another great day

[UNSTABLE]

Aw c'mon Henk, a blind man would be pleased to see it...

[UNSTABLE]

Errr, dunno about that but I'll give it a go.... I'll be happy if I can stay somewhere near them to be honest.

[Henk]

Aw c'mon Henk, a blind man would be pleased to see it...

On the up side if it was pretty I'd be paranoid about crashing and some of the fun would go out of it. Now I just have to get faster.

[Buckets4Me]

now I've just got to figure out how to ride faster to keep up with Tim, Gary and Karl...How hard can that be....:shit:.....:laugh:



Just copy Dave M if him and Karl had started on the frount row it would have been a 4 way battle for the frount and I dont think Gary would have had it all his way :jerry:

remember the frount of the bike only slides so far :doh:

[Buckets4Me]

He will be trying something

First time back for some time for both Karl and Dave (and notice the smoke from Karl's bike)

Gary had been around the track lately

You need some real handling
not the old shocks and forks from mums bike she learnt to ride on :jerry:



Got some good pics of you hanging off and going rather fast :Punk:

[MrE_MaN]

A few from my brother and I, rocked up late on the Sunday...

[Pumba]

Well now that I have KB access again, what a great weekend, forever may it stay dry.

I see no one else has put it up so here is the website for Damien Toman (http://www.flickr.com/photos/dty1/) the guy that was floating around with the camera on Saturday and Sunday.

He has 533 photos of the buckets just from Saturdays practise day:eek: and hasnt finished uploading all of Sundays racing.
