[Skunk]

Hmmm, money would probably stop me :mellow:

[F5 Dave]

What classes will run?

[nudemetalz]

I'd love to, but my family is about to expand....so no go :(

[sinfull]

What classes will run?

He's talking of running a bucket class off the back of S/S

I thought they may have run them on the back track along with say motards as people have done in the past while big bikes ran on the main track. Back track is good for buckets. Pity I would have been keen on that. Long track would be a bit of a Snore, it is much more open than back track at Taupo or B track at Ruapuna.

[DELLORTO]

Hmmm, money would probably stop me :mellow:

its very cheap i think its about $50 a meeting or somthing like that

Send Nigel a PM about the back track at Manfeild, if there is enough intrest and man power for the extra masrshals ect it may happen,

F4 and F5 people bring your wife, mate ,ect and make enough enough helpers to make it work

Nigel does a shit load of work for The Vic club in the winter series,let alone the PMCC summer series, and will be there at Manfeild on Saturday, He will be at the start/finish line , Catch up with him and discuss the Buckets and how you can assist with the series

[RDjase]

Bike Rider Magizine is The new series sponser for the pacclub summer series:niceone:

Bloody Great News:clap: Well done Nigel and BRM

[Pumba]

Sounds like a good series and it is good to see PMCC surporting buckets.

Doubt I will I will be there cause of $ and I already have events on the first two meeting dates.

Buckets is going well for PMCC, have got the HB kart track and it is a bloody awesome track, Dellorto had lots of fun there last time :Punk:

[Rick 52]

I like the sound of this
It could be good with plenty of bikes .
It would be lots better if it was the short tracks

Not sure yet lets see what sort of interest you get
it would have to be good numbers for all the cost and travel but I do love the Taupo short track .

Okay a couple of small notes.
The March round is on 21st March not 31st
The cost could be an issue $50 is for the have a go/practice days.
Race days are $90 to $100 (depending on if you are a PMCC Club member) plus $33.75 for a Transponder. All of our race days are electronically timed.
Round 1 is on Track 2 at Taupo The sidecars have their "have a swing day" on track 3 on the same day. It is also the day after the Post Classic GP at Taupo, so it will be an awesome weekend.

[DELLORTO]

yup should be great, just in case theirs only a couple buckets can we race against the street stock? id quite like the challenge

it might be hard to get people that race buckets because of the price....

thanks -max

That he does. I'm going to try my best to support this but can't promise anything.

[Bert]

Now this is an excuse to get my sh!t together.
I agree with Dave the back track is great, but the front track could be engine distroying.... but that is the nature of the beast i spose.
I should be able to find another rider from here as well if it go's a head.

Track 2 is good fun the same as the TRRS will the other Taupo rounds be track 2 ?
The cost for the transponder is that for each round?

Do you think we could camp at the track ?
Cheers

[nigela]

Do you think we could camp at the track ?

Yes we can usually camp at the track 3 end of the venue.
I intend on camping the night there
I haven't told Jacki from Taupo circuit yet but she is really good to us.

Yes we will probably let you race anyway but to make it a trophy gaining exercise you will need at least 6 entries.

The only problem I can see, is I can't be Clerk of Course and enter myself at the same time. I may get jealous and black flag the lot of you:laugh:

yes the senke could make its first taupo entrance :2guns:


i pretty sure i could get at least 6 or 7 from mt wellington
do you think the crowd at royshill would be interested?? ill have to ask them in october. -max

I know some were before I told them how much.
But realistically it's only a bit dearer than the summer spectacular and we have Tim Gibbes doing the timing

[DELLORTO]

N/A no comment <_<

[nigela]

i know a few people at mt wellington that have abit of spare money so it shouldnt be too hard......

ill advertise at the riders breifing

Cool.

I don't think the rest of the world is ready to have the Senke unleashed yet.
I think I have managed to coax a bit more power out of it .
All I have to do now is start riding it to it's full potential.

if you do the carb, tires and exhaust it should be quite compeditive

have you got good tires for it yet?? if not id be happy to sell you my bt39's cheap..... they'd be prefect for the senke :sunny:

Tyres wot's that.
The Senke runs 18 inch on the front and 16 inch rear.
I am still running the standard carby but I found the gaskets on the inlet port had a smaller hole than the port so once I trimed it and took the side off the air box it rev's a lot freer.

dam my bt39's are both 17",

remove starter gear you'll gain even more rev power

I would be interested if we have enough money at the time and all that.

Hey dont get me wrong I think the charges are appropriate for the meeting you guys are planning on running, but for us bucket guys up till know the chance to run Taupo has been a once a year expense and budgeted for 12 months in advance. Not saying I wont try and do one of the rounds if possible.


i know a few people at mt wellington that have abit of spare money so it shouldnt be too hard......

:shit:

Ok I will be the first to bite. Dellorto pull your head in:oi-grr:. Your a good kid but how much money people may "apear" to have is often different to what they really do have. And making flipant comments like that in forum public has no place, and is just down right rude:no:!!!!! Whoever you may have been refering to.

Right that was :Offtopic: rant over, as you were.

Would there be a concession for riders who pre Book/enter for all four events. We'd love to enter but with two riders the cost for us is going to be prohibitive.... Cheers

Yes there is a discount for full series entry, and more still if you are a PMCC member:yes:

It's still all being finalised and will be announced when the permits are through. (I am not allowed to put out the entry until MNZ have issued the permits).

[DELLORTO]

This is how it came across to me I'm sure you didn't mean it

I have just received the permits today For the Bike Rider Magazine Summer Series.
I have included a Bucket class in the series (with MNZ approval) so now it's up to you guys to get enough entries to make it a class which will get trophies.
No matter what, I will allow buckets to race but, to officially call it a class we must have a minimum of 6 entries per class.
Don't wait to long to enter, buckets will start 10 seconds behind streetstocks, and we can not have more than 35 bikes on the grid.

Find the entry form and regulations at www.pacclub.co.nz

Better hurry and sign up, the entries close in 2 weeks.
If you try and enter late it will cost you extra.:nono:

[Ned Kelly]

The guys at ESE are talking seriously about entering into this event on the 21/03. Would be good to try out some new developments on the Taupo track. New programmable ignition and a new engine. We have some good data from the TRRS which is a good starting point.
Which Track are they going to run. Track 2. Same as TRRS.?

Can anyone point me to the entry form for this event.

Thanks

We will look at running the shorter track for the buckets

[sidwyz]

Hey nigel I did the 1st round and plan on doing round 4 I think it is, on track 2,

I would prob definetly enter round 3 pending on the boss allowing me funds (so close to wedding)

But would not be interested in the long track, If you could guarantee me buckets on track 2 on that day I should be
in for sure!

Cheers
Luke

[RDjase]

Post classic would be great on track2 Nigel, How many Rums need to be bought to get it changed lol

[Bert]

Nigela, How many bucket entries have you got thus far for the next round ?

Who else is looking at going ? Wellington Boys your close: are any of you coming up to support this?
good time to test bike setup for the national round in March.

[koba]

Its a maybe for us, Depending on financial and mechanical position.

Okay lets make a decision now.
I will change the buckets etc to the short track Confirmed !
As a direct result all bucket riders can show their appreciation in RUM on the Saturday night.

As for RD Jase, just learn to ride harder

Go for Round 2 at Manfeild as well, it's on Auckland anniversary weekend and you can camp at the track
That will keep the cost to a minumum and then gives you the full series, plus practice days.

[Schrgd]

Guess I better do something about entering now. Cool thanks for that, I hope thats alright for everyone else. Does that mean the buckets get there own race, not with the streetstock's?

Those senior bikes have some big HP on that long straight.......... They dont like the short track like my 350 does tho......too many corners lol
New engine bits on the way so the long track will be a good test of gearing and jetting

[woodyracer]

Who's heading to this one??, im doing ss150, but im bringing my cbr for the practice day.

[nigela]

Just over 1 week to get your entries in for the Bucket class in Round 2 at Manfeild, January 30 - 31
Entries close 1 week before the meeting

o'well should be great fun anyhow.

dont worry, you'l be battling with the back riders of ss150.......thats what happened last time and it was great!

Planning to race with the buckets on your ss150?

[woodyracer]

no but they combine the races and give them separate classes/pionts,

You takign the motard out?

[Shorty_925]

Was being a smartass.

Nah, got something else on.

[woodyracer]

great meeting, didnt have anyone to battle with in ss150 so richban gave me a good battle, bloody fast fxr you have there.......although the krr had abit more power on the straight, which was usless cos he thrashed me coming out of corners. Grippy track in the wet manfeild is, some very quick racing, me and richard going down the straight aqua-planing were hitting 165km/h......:shit:

Cant wait for the next round at taupo track 1, might ride the bucket instead as im planning on giving it some extra juice in the next few weeks.

And that my friend is why it does not matter how fast your bike is, until you learn to ride confidently and fast, you wont be.

[woodyracer]

na it was more toque than anything else, i can assure you richban's FXR is jsut as quick as a ss150, as its power is more usable, plus richban can ride the bike realy well- that helps,

[Bert]

Str8 Jacket, i think he Missed the point.


Anyway even with the rain it was a fun weekend...

Really impressed with the bucket that made it out there; turning some very quick pace; so to show a small bike with a good rider will go fast...

hummm i think I've got a lot of work to do, the bike is o.k. but the rider needs to harden up ( I had to use my fav hanky:sick:)....

Cheers PMCC, and thanks for letting the stinky old buckets out on the track, it was a sh!t load of fun.

the only down'er I saw over the weekend was some goon ripping up the grass in the pits when loading his bike on the trailer being a real hero; at the end of Sunday. you know who you are....

[Schrgd]

"Cheers PMCC, and thanks for letting the stinky old buckets out on the track, it was a sh!t load of fun."

Cheers PMCC and Nigel, As Bert said, great weekend, Thanks again can't wait till taupo.

Imagine how cool it would be around Paeroa!!!!!
To late this year but would it be worth getting enough interested buckets to make some noise about next year or has this been done and not viable!?!
Just an idea, maybe a dumb idea but an idea all the same.

thats not a dumb idea at all, nigel is organising a hastings street race at the moment for next year and he might put buckets in it. But since buckets is such a big class, and so cool to watch maybe someone with writing telents can write to the organisers of paeroa.

If not we could invade F3......:laugh::laugh:

How's the arm healing up Pumba? Be back together for the next Mt Welly round?

spelling was never a strong point of mine. Arm is coming along, wont be racing the next meet, may be right for the one after but we will see how it goes

Cheers to everyone that helped make this event happen. Also thanks for making me feel welcome BBQ was fab. I will be trying to make it to one of the Taupo events wallet permitting.

Bit of a race report from me.

Saturday was so much fun. I had a couple of little intake mods to try out and quickly found that the bike liked a shorter intake than expected. It now runs straight from the carb no trumpet needed. Had some great fun keeping pace with bikes 100 HP up on the bucket. Heaps of grip and Heaps of fun.

Sunday
Well lets just say the plan was a 6 pack and bed. Thanks AJ for all the bourbon!
Lets just say with the rain and the hangover motorbike racing didn't seem so important. Qualifying: went out and the bike started to play up a big style. Seamed 2 rich. Changed the setup back to how I had it a Taupo for race one. Race one and everything went well untill about lap 3 and she just started to backfire as soon as the throttle came off full to got so bad I pulled off on lap 5 cos I thought it might die. I put the dodgy airbox back on for race 2 and hopped for the best. Now I must say there was some serious start jumping going on you know who you are. Race 2 went well but still backfiring a bit. I lost almost all power at 3/4 throttle. At one stage I was clutching it out of the corners to get it back on the main jet. Anyway happy to keep it upright.

As far as the bike being as quick as a street stock nah don't think so. On the straights I was getting left but slicks v tt900s under breaks should win every-time. It was encouraging how well it did go.

hAHAHA jump starting........im jut not used to the lights thats all.......wont happen again, i dont think your bike is as powerful as a ss150 bike, but man do slicks help!....after goign off my cbr with slicks on the krr with bt39's it was a big supprise.

Need I remind you that you also jumped the start at Taupo as well....

[woodyracer]

Need I remind you that you also jumped the start at Taupo as well....

how do you know that?....i never got told......its very hard to avoid jumping the start if you arnt aware your doing it.

Umm, becuase we had a split grid and you took off with the Classics. I remember because I was there, right beside you in fact! ;)

oh yer, but i didnt "cheap" as such because i did oush my ibke back into position and then i started properly, in fact that stuffed me up, id never done a staggered grid before and my mind wasnt in the right place...hahahhaha

Not my point.... My point is, is that you need to practice starts and pay attention. It could've ended badly in any other scenario! In Vic club you wont have been gridded on the front row and if you do the same thing there, you are going to hit someone.

Just something for you to think about....

[marvin the martian]

na it was more toque than anything else, i can assure you richban's FXR is jsut as quick as a ss150, as its power is more usable, plus richban can ride the bike realy well- that helps,

how can you be sure richban's fxr is as quick as a streetstock 150 when it wasnt even close to the other streetstocks.

Because he was faster than woodyracer and woodyracer was racing a streetstock, duh!!

oh soo woodyracer was the fastest streetstock?

No.... <if you get my drift>

Lets get something straight right now and stop chopping on about it. My bike is fast for a 4 stroke 150 full stop. I can ride it ok but have a lot to learn. Saturday in the dry I was all over lots of different street stocks. Check the lap times of the last race Sunday, last lap faster time than a 250 twin. Fact woodyracer has a lot to learn about engines and riding. Fact I was hung over and really had no intention off pushing it to the limit as I am still recovering from the crash at Taupo.

Was expecting to read that you were still recovering from a hangover..mustin have drunk enough.

[richban]

Might need a booze sponsor.

[Pumba]

....Fact I was hung over....

So you didnt drink enough enough to still be drunk? That would prevented the hang over.

[marvin the martian]

exactly!!!

you are a great rider, i do have alot to learn with ss150 bikes........to be honest i dont realy like them......i prefer more predicable power, i was riding my bike quite poorly, as i hadnt riden manfeild before and i would rather not crash. Ive got alot to learn about engines.......and ive also got alot of time to learn about engines.......being only 15.......i never said i was the fastest,best,coolest ect.......i jsut said richbans bike is quick, its not as nearly as fast as a ss150 bike on the straights, BUT it does have more toque therefore having better drive out of corners, my powerband has to kick in before i can get out of a corner at a decent speed,

I had more fun on the cbr than i had on the krr, because handling wise and race positon wise it suites me more. Its just a pity i wont have the cbr up to spec for manfield nationals.

So thats how you got your cool scar.

"BUT it does have more toque therefore having better drive out of corners, my powerband has to kick in before i can get out of a corner at a decent speed"

To be honest-Rich rode the fuck out of his bike-manning up more than anyone else out there-he deserves far more credit than his bike-even though it was running rough at times to! (Him and the bike?)
Um, if you're waiting for power band...why don't you change down a gear or ride the clutch?

good point, i am to 2 smokers remeber.......i did change down ect, but still when you go slow into a corner {as i do in the wet} when you come out of it does take a 1 second for the power to come on, but when it odes it pulls realy nicley, its jsut a different type of power

So HP is Torque x revs / constant (5200ish)

so let me get this right; that will mean with more torque but less power, Rich's bike must rev quite a lot lower than a KR150 -right? So Rich is always talking about 12,000 peak. Where is the KR? 18,000? How does that work then? I'm learning so much.
