Woodhill Two Man Series Rd 2 (30 Aug)

[Ktmboy]

Thought I'd start another thread for the second round.

Sunday 30th Augaust. Thats this Sunday coming.
Entry is Rimmers Road. Go past The Sandpit and follow the arrows.

An absolutey fantastic track. many thanks to all the helpers as we have probably pruned 10k of the 18k main loop with new track.

The ladies/Juniors loop is great. You know those neat fire breaks from around Taupo? well we found a couple just like them.
I wanna ride damn it:(

mmmm, If you got time can you put some roots diagonal across the track, and polish them up. Some un-painted tree stumps would be good too, maybe a combo, like slip on root didn't see, hit tree stump lose all control and hit tree. Climb back on feeling shit and face 15k of whoops....can't wait:crybaby:

[Keithf]

Ditto- a fantastic day thanks to Tony and the team who made it all possible



second that big thanks to Tony and all those that helped really good track

[vanmajor]

what a day, we were lucky with the weather.

the 2 man series for me this year has been plagued with bad luck..

round one, my partner and i were running 4th overall in expert and all was going well until my 250EXC started sucking sand and then proceeded to seize. not good. we were running good time and still managed to finish 7th outright.

round two, started off well despite being stuck witht the rest of the ironman boys on grid 21! got a hell start and was dicing with heath howlett for the first 3 laps in 4th and 5th. i managed to pass him when he needed fuel (thanks go out to the 8 litre tank on the 300EXC) on the third lap and i was running 4th. i thought great! only two more laps, in the zone with no crashes to blame i was ready for the 4th lap but at the end of the third lap i managed to some how put a hole through the side wall of my rear tyre? - can't say i've ever done that before, with no spare tyre i had to accept the DNF. gutted.

that's my race, how was everyone elses?

[vazza]

Ahh geez, bad luck bro! That sucks... Weird having a hole in the side of your tyre lol wtf.

Had a pretty crazy race. On the first lap I was blitzing it through some of the tight stuff and some how a branch grabbed onto my pinky and tore the flesh around my nail, just about ripped it off. You would have heard me roar a 100m away it was so paintful Hahahah! Also have a massive black bruise on my left shoulder which was just about more painful that tearing my pinky apart, im covered with cuts and gashes. Trying to tackle the trees haha!

Managed to come off a few times due to stupid shz, had a few wicked drags on some of the straights, was nice opening up.

Ended up coming 9th for solo which im pretty chuffed about, thought I had a crap ass race but yeh. was good!

Thanks heaps again Tony, event ran perfect! Roll on round 3!

Keen for some photos, quite afew photographers out there.

[Rupe]

Really enjoying these races, big thanks to all involved.

Real good track, found it pretty energy sapping tho, but good.

[Rupe]

oh yeah, and hurry up and get those results up!!!

yeah bro it was so weird.

i was having a crazy race also, first lap was just an attempt to pass people and avoid the goons haha. second lap i was clipping trees, i got my right knuckle/hand something chronic! third lap was going sweeet! until about 1km from the finish. tyre decided it wasn't having a bar of it.

the open parts were fun, good times.

round three should be good!

[Chia]

Had a crazy fun day today.

First lap was sweet, had a good start and great run. 2nd lap managed to go over my handlebars up the skinny track next to the pits (for those who saw ...everyone :blink:). Third lap only minor problems and 4th lap was awesome.

Can't wait till next round.

Great to catch up with everyone!

[barty5]

[QUOTE=Ktmboy;1129373806

As if I'd put 15k of whoops in. :innocent: Who would turn up?[/QUOTE]

[REDRIDER]

that's my race, how was everyone elses?

I think that I was nest to you on the start line? I was on the CR on the outside right on row 21 with the helmet camera.

Well I had to change to ironman so that was an experience in itself!! Thank god I've been spending some time at the gym!!

I had a crap start, I was just spinning like crazy going no where and was just about last off the line. I managed to hold it together and I was trying to not get over excited and pace myself a bit. I got stuck behind some people that would not move out of the way and would keep changing lines to cut me off when overtaking. I guess that you have to be a bit more ruthless.... I tired Boooms trick of back off and then come flying up reving the shit out my bike. Oh well got past them eventually.

I was feeling pretty good after my first lap, but I found I was overheating badly. So binned my shirt that I had over my pressure suit and carried on.

I managed to have a reasonable 2nd and 3rd lap, but my 4th I was starting to get tired. I started falling off a bit and was getting overtaken by a few people. My wrist was killing me and I think that the cocktail of painkillers I took at 10am had worn off!! I stopped to take off my helmet camera as it hit a tree and was knocking about. Then Evan (oldschool) passed me. So I made it my mission on my final lap to catch him. We had a good little battle for a while and then I hit a huge rutted out tree root trap and I had to catch Evan again. Got him a few KMs down the road!!

Ended up 43 in class (last I checked) and 113th overall. It may move up? I don't know. There was a last lap to add to that.

Ironman was so much harder than 2 man race. Last time when i had a partner, the rests helped you feel recharged, 4 laps nonstop just drains you. that last lakes section was just a killer.

Anyway, Huge thanks to Tony and the crew, and a big thanks to the Maori land owners for the use of their land.

[vanmajor]

Yeah yeah, Just a couple of things to sort, i.e how does a guy doing 35mins all of a sudden do a 23min and jump from 10th to 2nd.

Realise that results on the day have not been grid adjusted due to the stagged start(it took nearly 20 minutes to get every one away). its not live as opposed to actual times so the placings can change.
Also some will have done an extra lap because of this and we take this lap off some times.Its the only way we can do this at this stage.

Results will be posted probably tomorrow evening.

thanks ktmboy, just stoked to have lasted the whole 2.5hrs...as opposed to the last time where i did two laps and couldnt find my fuel can at the refuel stop...:sunny:

[cheese]

When did I ever say that? I just think that you're all a bunch of cunts. LOL jokes!

Just got back from swimming, was very good to help sore back muscles.

I saw some results like that when I checked the race times. 23mins would be an incredible pace! I'm guessing someone found a way to cut a section out?

So was the fist lap started as the last bike left the start line?

[tommorth]

BAH!!! i had a shocker, thought i could ride with a huge hangover, but after going over the bars TWICE on the first lap i quit and went and had a sleep in the van lol. im a dick!!!! ha ha ha

haha was wondering where you got to

I wasn't feeling that great after 3hours sleep but had a bloody good day.was hard finding places to pass/ let others pass in the tight stuff got stuck in a train for a while and by the time i'd made enough dodgy passing manoveres to get past them I was tired and promptly fell off :laugh:

Did any one get a pic of that crash just after the start where the guy ended up stuck under his bike?


Was it just me or did there seem to be a lot of people just stoping for a rest?

[noobi]

Did any one get a pic of that crash just after the start where the guy ended up stuck under his bike?


hmmmm, i did that, but just before the end, on the really soft little whoops. did it twice in 2 laps within about 10 m of each other. shocking really

Sucks about that muckup Tony, I wouldnt know how to sort that : /. Transponder fault?

[cheese]

Yeah yeah, Just a couple of things to sort, i.e how does a guy doing 35mins all of a sudden do a 23min and jump from 10th to 2nd.

Realise that results on the day have not been grid adjusted due to the stagged start(it took nearly 20 minutes to get every one away). its not live as opposed to actual times so the placings can change.
Also some will have done an extra lap because of this and we take this lap off some times.Its the only way we can do this at this stage.

Results will be posted probably tomorrow evening.

Hey Tony, if people have been blatantly cheating, why don't you give them time penalties? OR make them last place for cheating.

[barty5]

Anyone who cuts 10 minutes out of a lap must have cheated i say cut them out of the comp all together why even bother tryin to work out a reasonable time penalty for them let them come back with the reasons to why their lap times where so different if they dont complain and cant explain why its cause they know they cheated. No one on a jet powered bike passed me all day.

cut them out they dont deserve to have a time at ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! under lin that too in bold and in red

[barty5]

Thought you said you found a good short cut, couldn't see it myself but sure seemed to shave a few mins of your time. That one you found us last round was brilliant helped heaps

[Rupe]

wasn't going to wait round you fannies all day, still within 5ms of the track. What were you up to anyway, looked like you were passing round a dury

[vazza]

Who got stuck on that boggy hillclimb on the first lap? I was flying up there with a dude infront, but he fell off and I got hardout stuck lol, wasted afew minutes trying to get my bike back down... knackered me :crybaby:

Me, was following a guy on a ktm when ran out of steam and pulled across sideways. Hit him hard, smashed my plasics a rad guard, lucky it didn't damage the rad tho.

[cheese]

I nearly fucked that hill up, I managed to just get up, but I must have made it cunty for all you guys.

there was a downhill that was short with a little dip and the bottom that kept on trying to throw me over the bars.

Ha ha I bet you thought - cheese told me to get radiator guards, shit.....

So want to plastic weld it back up? I got some plastic weld at work, Black though...

[vazza]

Haha! Gee I thought the race was over for me then, I found that race pretty demanding on the body eh. I found the most fun part was round the lake on that little grass trail thing, went flat out round there. Got pretty whooped out on the latter laps ;p!

I'm so looking forward to the leightons race, will be so sick. Especially if they use the tracks from the jolly rooster trail ride, would be so good.

[chop]

just a race people, let tony sort it out... his comp.

Good call!

[Ktmboy]

Don't know if I'm allowed to put these here as they won't be on the web till tomorrow. Worth a try though.
The total points will be up later in the week. But they work from 50 points down for each race. So if you came 51st in class unfortunately you get narda, zip, fuck all.

Bound to be some bragging here so this will be interesting. Get the handbags out ladies and gents.:girlfight:

Bring on round three!!

[vazza]

Haha niiice :D!

[cheese]

I'm happy with that! 39th!!

[vazza]

Who else did solo?

[flyingcr250]

Who else did solo?

i didnt, i did a reconnaissance lap then went home ha ha ha.

[andy 101]

Who else did solo?

26th for me , not overly happy, first lap good time then faded back,need to push the fitness up a step.

[Ktmboy]

Yeah your first lap was very good. Ten minutes different from lap 3. You have a cuppe tea some where?

[noobi]

about 20 places higher than last round
holeshotted my row, 31...
spent 5 minutes getting my bike out of a hole after taking emergency manouvers around someone who decided to park in the middle of the track. so was probably last after getting out.
would like to think id have done a bit better than to get stuck 1/5 of the way round the first lap, apparently not.
next time eh
85th overall...
thanks for the event Tony, looking forward to round 3

[xxblackbirdxx]

Who else did solo?

I did the iron man. Finished 41st(not flash or anything but). More importantly total race time 3hrs 8 minutes. I am stoked that i went that long...

[andy 101]

I had open heart surgery 18 months ago, and are training 2-3hrs a day and still struggling with fitenes , something like that takes a long time to recover and takes all ya energy , but im getting there,

[A&R]

Great track Tony
Had a big smack at the start though - guy on my left ran into me!:crybaby: I managed to jump off my bike :sweatdrop he ended up sandwiched between the two.....:bash: but still managed to get off in front of me!!! :gob:You must have had a good view of that JT119?
Really knackering. Liked the open then the tight bits to compensate. :scooter:
Seem to be staying about mid pack (in the novices!). Shit some of those vets are damn fast glad we didn't enter in that.
80th overall so plenty of space for improvement!
Roll on the third round.:rockon:

[eurodick]

I was dumb enuff to do solo!@#$%^&*( arghhhhhhh gotta get a lot fitterer watching TV and drinking beer ain't really training hard... sltho I try to fit in a bit of MX vs AtV to sharpen my skills...:crybaby:

[Ktmboy]

Well next round will suit different folk. Probably about 5-6k of farmloop(will slow it down to reduce speed) so sections will suit the MX style and sections for the bush. Still be a good section in the trees like the flowing coast section in this round.

I'm looking forward to the start. hmmm, something new perhaps? eat a pie, skull a beer?

lol i did the guy moving us up to the start line was waving at my helmet cam and i was pointing him to you. and the guy under the bike couldnt think of a better way to have fun on a sunday than doing a friendly bit of racing thow roll on the next one

I remember seeing videos of the races dad did in the 80s where they had to sprint to the bike, start it and go. Funny to watch people run in boots and helmets!

[barty5]

not too bad puts us second overall just need to beat the guy in 4th place next round

5-6k loop with that many riders by the time the last grid leaves the 1st would be on top of them as they start it would make for 13-14 minute laps for the mid pack riders and 10 or less for the front runners?? should be interesting race

[cheese]

56k loop with that many riders by the time the last grid leaves the 1st would be on top of them as they start it would make for 13-14 minute laps for the mid pack riders and 10 or less for the front runners?? should be interesting race

had to read that a few times.

I think that he means that there is 5-6km (not 56km) of more open section then bush. A 3 hour race over a 5-6km loop would be carnage with 180 odd riders!!

a mass start for the last round? should lie on your stomach then have to sprint to the bikes, or spin around a broom stick a dozen times then run to the bikes ha ha ha.:devil2:

How about the first lap being a sighting lap and time begins when you go through the timing tent for the first time. guranteed accurate lap times that way!!!!!!! i think....
What do you guys reckon??????
This way tony gets to keep his hair as opposed to having a headache on his hands sorting those results and figuring out crazy lap times

[takitimu]

Dang that Novice class winner looked to have one quick rider eh chop.

Luke rode well !!, 2nd overall as Ironman

[chop]

Yea mate there were a few robbers about... I had a bad bad day did a 30.47 for my first lap then faded not entirely sure what went wrong just couldnt get my head around track or bike! Damn chain guide kept sliding forward and grinding on chain too.. oh well... Yep he sure did, he's a good kid and seems to have come of age lately, so damn fit and the most determined person ive ever met. The states did him the world of good

[takitimu]

Yeah noticed your laps were a bit inconsistent, nature of the game a bit though, looks like you'll have to do the Nields series up here for practise :).
Best part was the number of riders, really impressive !!!.

[Rupe]

anyone know where the last round is held?

[little.whittle]

Woodhill.... :whistle:

I think its South Head

[Ktmboy]

Yep, Leightons Farm, Wilson Rd, South head.

Start will be on the farm, with a difference for the final round he he he.
Couple of K or farm to the bush, one forestry section would have to be the best ever. fark its cool. Then along some fresh coast block like the last round.
The return home will be sandy fire breaks and then another couple of K farm loop.
The pits and parking are up on the top paddock so its all very close..

Sounds good, same sort of length track?

Will the farm bit have that hidden log in the long grass that bunged my knee?

If you take short cuts the logs get ya.

Live engine start.

[Ktmboy]

Series points have been finalised but our race guy is away this week.

[vazza]

Wait.. so everyone starts at the same time?! no?

[flyingcr250]

Within Classes. TBC.

You OK with this?

[vazza]

Within Classes. TBC.

You OK with this?

Oooo.. So all ironmen start together, all expert 2men start together etc? Some classes will be 3 times the size of others???

Steve mate I had a puncture on the last lap for round2 but I still finished! Just ignored it LOL.. Was an experience trying to keep it under control, probably why I flew into the pine trees on the last final straight section hahah

[flyingcr250]

Within Classes. TBC.

You OK with this?

all i know is i have to finish this one, especially after gettn a puncture in the dead toad and being too hung over in the 2nd round 2man.

Yeah, why not, Barty's starting lol

[little.whittle]

Dead engine starts are best :woohoo::

[A&R]

Yeah, why not, Barty's starting lol

Ha that's what I was thinking. My partner starting too........so I don't care!
I had a crash last time :cry: and there was only 4 of us on the line!!!!:buggerd:

[Ktmboy]

Dead engine starts are best :woohoo::

Yes but everybody does dead engine starts for X country, t100, Dead toad etc...
The way I see it every one has had a couple of rounds to get used to starts. This then expands the confidence level to make folks comfortable with more riders on the start line in a relaxed environment. Its not as if you guys and girls are competitive, Like you"re not out to win or anything.:Playnice:

Oh to race again...

[cheese]

If you take short cuts the logs get ya.



There was another small stump or log hidden about 1km before that bit that took all those people out. I hit it twice and it nearly threw me over the bars!

[vazza]

I'm out to win!!! hahah but yeh engines running is sweet by me

[noobi]

if you do the starts by class...
then theres only like 8 people in my class.

You're a slow learner then aren't you. I'll clear all the obstacles from the course.

[Rupe]

What, all of them?

[Ktmboy]

It'll be like a Hiway. but with logs and corners LOL

[raglanash]

Did a cool dead engine mass start at the Raglan ROXX, they set up the start line about 10m away from a fence, everyone holds onto the fence and waits for the shotgun, yeehaa!! They even supplied little sticks for the mx bike to be propped up on.

[Rupe]

It'll be like a Hiway. but with logs and corners LOL

hang on, I don't want it to open either!

Nah only joking, just that log or stump or what ever it was that cheese, me and everyone else hit. Bound to end a few peoples race, really hidden.

[Ktmboy]

The gremlins have gone

[REDRIDER]

Yeah, why not, Barty's starting lol

It's a team event, and I've only been ridding two years, and I don't get to ride every weekend like some. I'd say we are in the right class, but there are deffinatly some who should be bumped up a class. Having said that it's only a bit of a laugh.
