Hi Scrivy,
DO you know if the Tri series 600's are being run under F2 or 600 sports production Rules? Last year it was F2 but noticed it is listed on Program as 600sp.
Just need to order tyres shortly
Thanks
Ozzy:crazy:

[racer40]

hi Ozzy, the tri series is being run as F2 rules

[Marknz]

15 Aussies! We'll probably get to watch all three rounds this year, should be great viewing.

Well done to all concerned. You've done a bloody good job.

:clap:

[racer40]

Ok here is abit more info. 11 race bikes are coming in a container from Queensland, 5 supermotos, 1 600, 1 sidecar & 4 superbikes so that will boost the the international feilds. Also Stacey Stellar (sidecars) & Gareth Jones are also returning for the tri series, & hopefully another top Aussie superbike rider will soon be signed up. Entries are coming in for all 3 rounds & remember only 34 spaces are available for the supermotos, due to the 5 aussies & ex pat kiwi Darryl Atkins who is also returning, so get in early or you might miss out. Taupo already has 120 bikes entered, inc 18 for the endurance. more info will follow.

F2 rules havent been published for a few years now. But very easy. Same cc's as Sport production, Fuel must be petrol. And everything else is open!! (Nothing to Protest about).
They way rules Should be!! If you can think of it you can do it.:woohoo:

Who are the other Aussies coming across from Queensland?

[Whitebait]

How many bikes do you run for the 3hr?? (Is it a full grid)

Also just out of interest how many spots left in F3??

[Devil]

Darryl Atkins back again? Woohoo! Fricken awesome to watch on the motard!

[Cleve]

Darryl Atkins back again? Woohoo! Fricken awesome to watch on the motard!

totally agree. I am not a motard fan at all - BUT D.A coming down the main straight at Wanganui last year and rear end sliding it into corner one from HALF WAY DOWN the straight was just UNBELIEVABLE...

[Wingnut]

Is it likely that there is going to be decent TV coverage of this series. I sure hope so, it sounds like there is gonna be some good racing.

[xr-rider]

is there a list of confirmed entries?

[racer40]

hi whitebait, We are taking 30 bikes for the 3 hour race, about 12 spots left. F3 still has plenty of room in it for now

[racer40]

Hi Shorty 925, the 5 motards from Queensland are Benny Endicott-Davies, Thomas Gardiner, Joseph Carpinter, Jovian Haidle & Paul Dawson, (hope spelling is correct)

[scorry]

so my hoping for a top 10 in motards might have been washed away to aussie then??

i had never heard of darryl atkins before so i googled it and it sent me to youtube, WOW that guy is awesome
hopefully i am close enough to watch him backing it in

[racer40]

hi scorry, we dont know how good these Aussies are, 4 of the 5 are on 450s, they may just be club racers who have some spare cash to get here and have some fun

[racer40]

here are the names of the 4 Queensland superbike riders Micheal McMillan (Honda) Paul Gaskin (Honda), Bertrem Zoubakin (Yamaha) & Joel Reed (Aprillia) who was here last year on a yamaha. Bertrem & Joel have also paired up for the endurance race on the R1

[Duke girl]

No doubt you will soon find out how good they are and Good on them all for making the effort to come over here and Race.
Sounds like there's going to be some excellent Racing to be watched.:2thumbsup

Joel Reed was doin' well for a first timer. Great to see him comin' back and it says a lot about the series.

[scorry]

Hey quick question about manfield, what section is the short course e.g. what section will the motards be racing?

I havent been there before and im wondering if it is the small section way over the back or the other bit and the bigger bikes combine both sections?
cheers

[Shorty_925]

Think its the club track....though could be wrong.

[racer40]

hi scorry & shorty925, have just talked to Leighton the organiser & he said Motards will use same track as everone else. Also said pit area at Wanganui will be swept this year

[scorry]

Sweet, cheers mate

[scuzeme]

Cant wait to race in this one for the first time.
Im going there blind, meaning WTF do you do when you get there!!
Does anyone have any advice? im racing in the 600's

Cheers.

Hi Mate,
pit with me I'm an old hand (well I'm old and I've done it once before :) ). Scrutineering is on Xmas day, or EARLY boxing day "by special arrangement" If you can get hold of a generator bring it. I have a generator (5 HP 2500w) but not sure if it will run two sets of tyre warmers (if it only runs one set do you want warm the front or the rear ? ) I'm pretty sure it will cope I have tested it with one set of warmers and the electric jug
I am going up xmas day sign in scrutineering etc. and set up pit and sleep in the van.

I don't have an pit tent but I do have a couple of sun umbrella's .

Bring sunblock and speights old dark :)

It is a very cool meeting, I did it last year on the Hornet, pretty much only used 2nd gear ( about 50 -100 meters of 3rd on start-finish straight maybe ) It looks much scarier from the side of the track. It is pretty much point and squirt and the option to run straight ahead at the four main turns. The s's throught the cemetary are a bit interesting as even the Hornet got the front end in the air crossing the crown of the road and the bridge over the railway line is a bit scary looking, just be like me and don't go to fast. :)
Turn one is a bit hairy as the inside will be chocker and slow right up (no chance of me being first to get there :) and the outside is of course "off camber" and has slippery paint on the centerline and the road edge. ALL the road markings are as greasy as a butcher's prick. But you will love it !!!

And you will get a photo to show the grand children.

Does anyone have any advice? im racing in the 600's
Cheers.

Twist the throttle to the stop, and avoid man hole covers!!

Oh yeah, wave profusely to the spectators....... :yes: they love it!!

[jovian]

Hi racer40, I'm Tom. Leighton confirmed my entry back in August. We'll have to chase it up if somethings happened to them.

[Tony.OK]

Hey you jokers, got a couple of questions from a RRS virgin.

Is there still room left in F1 for one more?

How many races per class is there normally?

And does the Wife (pitcrew) have to pay a gate fee?

Cheers guys, hoping to finally make this event.

[racer40]

[slowpoke]

Can someone please add an R18 caveat to this thread? Those of us unable to make it are finding it frustratingly arousing and would like some means of screening it out. Thanks in advance, signed: blueballs.

I hope so !! When I am wandering around the pubs at the IOM TT next year, I want to be able to casually name drop and say "Oh yeah, I've been lapped by Shaun Harris in a street race"
That should be worth a free pint of Guiness :drinkup:
