Unfortunately the same day as Round 3 King of Levels, also run by the club that supports buckets, Motorcycling Canterbury!
If you haven't raced at Levels, its well worth the effort to make the trip down.
Get to use transponders, Practice is timed so get a proper grid position, and very efficiently run.
Shame these dates clash, CAMS run a great laid back event too.
Oh well, get to race B track next Sunday 13th at the Bears Round.

Gav... this thread is to promote CAMs.. its rather rude of you to plug the other clubs meet, start ya own thread.

[gav]

No, merely informing that unfortunately this date clashes, just letting people know that.

interesting tho, I notice you dont use the term buckets?

And Buckets have always had their own class at Cams meets, something that has only changed at MCC meets due to pressure from Streetstock to have their own race.

Good on MCC for doing it tho, makes for much more interesting racing. :yes:

Nothing to do with pressure from Streetstock, it's because we had the numbers to run our own class

MCC have run Bucket only classes at Levels before (even got a trophy for it somewhere) it just depended on how many bikes we fronted up with

Na alls fine, the foots going to be ok just a tad sore after the FXR foot peg broke of while cranked over and I got it cought in the rear wheel... well I ran my own bloody foot over, nearly draged me of the bike. (note to FXR riders, factory welds on foot peg to mount are shit check for cracking)

Glens ZXR... well I gave it death (never riden one of them) while on the return to the pits it stoped and wouldent restart, it had pissed water all over its self and me, but all seems fine now.

The LC's well one is dropping a pot when hot, think its telling me something and the other ones running like a bag of shit... both are now barrelless on the garage floor, Im hoping I can get them sorted for Greymouth :no:

[Suzi Q]

What an awesome day, shame the previous president of cams chose the same day as kol , but shit happens. Hubbie wanted to run the zxr in pre 89 so we didn't travel to levels.The turnout was disappointing for the CAMS guys, there were only enuff bikes for 3 classes so we literally raced all day - Buckets and streetstock (only 1 RGV and about 10 buckets), Pre 89 and then Pre 82, Pre 72, Pre 63 in one class. There were 5 rounds,1 practice round and an all in, Hubbie was on the track 11 times and I had 6 goes, didn't do the all in as I was all in!!! Geoff C borrowed my bucket and showed me what it could do, he even beat wallace!!!! I had a good day,lots of practice, even beat gwenda in one race (she claims she was distracted by Darryls footpeg on the track,but I'll take the win!!!!) Chris had a spectacular crash, rolled a few times and tore the rear end off his bucket. He seemed to be fine apart from sore ribs and a swollen wrist. Young TomBos was flying in buckets and pre 89, we made him start off the back to give him more to do!!!! roll on KOR!
Here are somepics from the day - not many bucket pics as I was riding, but got a few from the all in.

great pics Suziq!

Was that deliberate, the one of me and the 2 guys chasing, with the ambo in the background... :Punk:

Had a really good day, cool start but the clouds cleared and it turned into a beauty. Out on the track 8 times all up, lots of awesome racing in both Buckets and Pre82.
Yep I managed a couple of beats over SuziQ... and i really WAS distracted by the footpeg, i was trying to figure who had lost it, while trying not to run it over (At least THAT'S my story and I am sticking to it! :laugh: )
Enjoyed the Elsie and had a few people to chase down which was great, so feeling better on the old girl.
Good to get lots of track time cos i haven't been out much this year so i feel a wee bit more prepared for Greymouth.
Wee man was pretty good but by 3pm (after a 8am start) he was a bit tired (as was I) so i left Dangerous to pack up the bikes for us, ta babe!
Hard work doing it all with a small baby but we did well i think.

Roll on greymouth!

I love flying, but I prefer to be wrapped in an aeroplane or helicopter, or have a parachute strapped on when I'm doing it. As a result of my inpromptu flying stunt I have a broken wrist - bugger.
I must say that I was really enjoying the day, and even enjoyed watching the racing after my getoff.
I guess I now have plenty of time to get the CB sorted and also get the Paso built.
