Are you gonna help?

[Foxzee]

Are you gonna help?

No I thought I'd just stand there and suck a lollipop.....:rofl::nya:

[Skunk]

A red wine one?

[nudemetalz]

Sorry unable to help at that one, but can come out & help some others (if my "new" family will let me).

[F5 Dave]

Right, Sidewinder is the one that voted no so far. I have no idea who they are but let's all gang up on them for failing to participate:Pokey:

[Skunk]

I still need helpers (flagging/lap scoring/timing) and hopefully have a few extra First Aiders around. If you are one PM me (even if you're racing).
It won't be an all day job so don't hold back!

[Hopeful Bastard]

Will see what i am doing around that time.. i may of moved by then. Otherwise i will be more than happy to stand around and wave my arms at the other bikers warning of some Idiot that had an off at my corner..

Oar-some-ness! Guess you like the track then :)

[Pumba]

The track was rather enjoyable. Will try and get some others down as well.

:eek: Two day Easter meeting at Kaitoke........

Its a very very fun track, and they are really great people, that Welly lot.....:sunny:

I have the prerequisite permission from she who must be obeyed. :woohoo: so count me in too

.

[quallman1234]

I have my basic first aid certificate, what i did in 7th form. I think they are good for 3 years.
Too bad ill be riding.

[Skunk]

I have my first aid certificate. Too bad ill be riding.
Cool, I just want to know who I can call on.

[Str8 Jacket]

Cool, I just want to know who I can call on.

At least if Kyle crashes then he can look after himself!

You can count me and prob Malcolm in. I haven't ridden on Kaitoke yet so bring it on! :yeah:

[Hopeful Bastard]

Cool, I just want to know who I can call on.

I have Basic First aid.. Other than that.. Nothing.. Dont think i have my 1st aid Cert.. If they aint breathing, Remove helmet carefully to avoid any further neck/back problems they may have, Head to side etc etc..

[Bert]

Both me and =CJ= have current certs for work, we will be there riding too. more than happy to stop and help.

[nudemetalz]

Adrian will probably be racing and he has his WCC first aid cert (as we all do there).

[Skunk]

Adrian will probably be racing and he has his WCC first aid cert (as we all do there).
Sheeeh! At this rate we'll have more First Aiders than riders!

Is anyone riding who doesn't have a First Aid cert?

I need a few to flag marshal. "Share the load" style.

[Kendog]

I don't have my first aid cert, so happy to flag.

[Pumba]

Is anyone riding who doesn't have a First Aid cert?

Yep:whistle:

[Hopeful Bastard]

Well to all those that cane off and i come over to ya..... If you answer my question that you have your first aid cert... I will change the flag to green and let you look after yourselfs ;)

:whistle:

[huff3r]

I don't have a first aid cert, but i might just have to buy myself a bucket for this! Looks pretty impressive :D

[Skunk]

The more the better - this is a not-for-profit event so any excess over costs will have to be spent somehow. :apint: :woohoo: :crazy:

[gav]

:whistle:
If you could just drag them off the racing line first, that would be much appreciated!

[all4A50s]

I'm keen to help and have a bed available if required.

[Skunk]

And the first entry (other than mine) is in and paid for. Three months to go...

[all4A50s]

Just sent my entry off. How many entries, what grade and from where is there so far?

[Skunk]

See my post above... both from Welly. You and me.

[Hopeful Bastard]

Still hoping to make it down.. may need a bed for the night though.. Otherwise will high tail it back to my aunties in Upper Hutt and stay there the night then get my arse back out to the track the next morning.. I am more than happy to flag the lot.. Just fill me in on rules and off we go :yes: :D

[Trudes]

You probably won't find a closer bed than in Upper Hutt mate.
That's an awesome offer BTW!:niceone:

Yeah, the track is just north of Upper Hutt. Rules are pretty much standard Bucket stuff except nylon to protect the track is a must. If it's not good enough we just can't let you out - though we'll do all we can to help get you on the track.

minta.. Dont think i can borrow my mates bucket in time.. ( we doing one up )

So will just come down for a cruise on the bike and wave a flag at ya :)

[gav]

Hmmm, can we camp overnight at the track?

[Skunk]

Hmmm, can we camp overnight at the track?
I don't think so - Kaitoke Reserve (campgrounds and park) is just up the road (2 kms maybe) plus there's places being offered in Welly for out of towners.

[Buddha#81]

right welly towners, I'm planning to come up, I'll try and talk a couple of others to join me. My plan is to ride the bucket onto the ferry and leave the trailer and car in Picton, this would keep the cost well down. Anyone man (or woman) enough to be kind enough to have a trailer and want to pick two or three Mainlanders up?

[all4A50s]

Just let me know when and where and if I can I will. Where are you going to be staying? We have some spare lawn.

Anyone man (or woman) enough to be kind enough to have a trailer and want to pick two or three Mainlanders up?I think I could help you there. I think there's a multi bike trailer in my backyard somewhere.

[gav]

Think this is the same weekend as the new Methven Street Races being run down here, but two days of bucket racing sounds like fun . :)

[Bert]

Time for everyone to start thinking about this...
Easter in Wellington, no better place for a holiday :)

[Str8 Jacket]

Im looking forward to it! Really hoping that I can get out there in the next couple of months so that it wont be my first time out on Kaitoke though!! :yes:

[Skunk]

Time to get your entries in then... See the first post for the entry form.

[Hopeful Bastard]

Hey sorry Skunk.. Wont be able to do the Marshalling for this one.. I have something else that has come up.. I hope thats ok..

[Trudes]

Is there anyone out there that can give us a hand? One day, both days, half a day, anything would be great, we'd love you forever (Yep, I'm not too proud to plead and grovel).
A chance to watch bucket racing up close and personal, so perfect if you have been thinking of giving it a go or are just bucketcuriuos. PLEASE.......... We're nice people really :D

[Dutchee]

If I come down, I'm more than willing to help out flagging again. But I can't commit to it as I'm riding back to Auckland from Manfeild on the Wednesday (riding down Monday) and really aren't sure I'll be up to another 4 days away from home (plus sitting/driving in the van down the countryside again).
So, at this stage I'm a (very) maybe (decision will be made on the Friday, so you'll either see me or not - Henk's pissed off with me not committing either way, but shit happens).
Michelle

[fi5hy]

I for one love getting out into the middle of things and flagging ( when not riding of course) You can hear the guys YELLING at each other GET THE F**K OUT THE WAY YOU F***IN WA**ER.................. reply F**K OFF NANCY BOY .......................... It's true but you'll have to listen for your self........ Oh shit that means you have to have a go at flagging.



OK here's one ...........any one that flags for the day or helps out can come and get a ride on my bike for FREE thats right FREE

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>RIDE THIS >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

[Henk]

I'll throw a couple of laps on rattlecan blue into the mix for anyone that flags and is thinking of having a go at racing. (please be kind, I have a borrowed motor)

[saxet]

I'm kinda hoping for a 2 min break between races to allow flaggie changes.

[hmurphy]

I have 1 or 2 mates who sound keen as on watching buckets and flagging. I've already bribed them with the use of my sexy bucket for B grade.... (little to they know it's not very sexy...)

Oh my Sketchy, are you sure you want to be telling us all about your thing? :o

[Sketchy_Racer]

Oh damn, wrong forums hahaha!!

[Skunk]

Good question - I should have at least 24 eh?

[Skunk]

Oh damn, wrong forums hahaha!!Go back to your other 'riding' forum.

[richban]

Good question - I should have at least 24 eh?

I will drop off mine tomorrow. Just have to check behind the couch for some money.

[Henk]

25 I put myself down as a maybe.

[Her_C4]

I wouldn't mind coming out on the Saturday and helping where I can in exchange for letting me practice waving my camera at the racing here and there? I haven't been to this track - can I get in midfield?

[Kendog]

If there is a place to practice bike photography this is it.
Easy access to the infield, lots of elevation so you can get above and below the bikes, tons of corners, bikes not moving too fast so good for panning practice, close racing so good action shots.

In summary, you will love taking photos there :yes:

Excellent news! 200mm or 300mm lens? Sounds like a 200?

[Kendog]

200 easy, it's a fairly small location.

[Damien_Toman]

I'll be there if it's not too late to send a scanned entry form tonight along with direct bank transfer receipt (a screen capture)? :)

[Skunk]

[Skunk]

I'll be there if it's not too late to send a scanned entry form tonight along with direct bank transfer receipt (a screen capture)? :)No problem. See the event on www.bucketracing.co.nz for the rough programme.

[Damien_Toman]

Hey Skunk! Excellent. The programme looks perfect. Been dirtbiking in the South Island on holiday most of last week and just got back late Sunday night so trying to catch up with everything :). Looking forward to visiting Kaitoke. My big bro' will take a few photos too :). Looking forward to it.
Regards
Damien

[Damien_Toman]

Oh, I was in the "maybe" category. Now confirmed.

B 6 Simon

Might be entering in for Saturday if not too late.

[F5 Dave]

Tel yer bro to bring the 50 if it's still about.

[Shorty_925]

Still waiting on parts as far as I know...though he is wanting to get it going again. He'll be on the fxr as far as i know.

[Skunk]

It's not too late to enter. Just turn up on the day with your money (and license and membership card if you have them - otherwise you'll need more money).

[Skunk]

Anybody who is able to help wave flags etc come and see me or Kendog on the day. I haven't had anyone comfirm they are helping but have had several offers.

[Trudes]

Sounds like we could do with a cook too. Anyone wanna spend a few hours cooking sausages?

[Kendog]

Yes, a cook would be good on the BBQ.
The shop will not be open unfortunatley, but we should have access to the toilets.

[Trudes]

Normally I'd be chief cook, I enjoy a good sausage sizzle ;) but I'm hoping to be riding instead of cooking, but if my bike dies (shouldn't say that eh) I'll cook.
Maybe that should be punishment for the first one who blows up their bike.

[Henk]

Don't say things like that. I killed mine a couple of weeks ago and am now at Pumbas mercy. If he beats me he gets to gloat, if I beat him he repos my motor.

[Trudes]

Or cook sausages ;)

[Bert]

All packed up and ready to roll (and fight the traffic), see you guys on saturday; looking forward to it.

[Pumba]

if I beat him he repos my motor.

Dont have to worry abpput it this weekend, but come the next Mt Welly race you better beleave those are the rules

[Rick 52]

I put my wets on rims today so the weather should be dry all weekend see you all on Sat morning :,)

[NSR143]

fixed my bike this week... welded the engine mount... stuck a new tail pipe on... changed the oil... oiled the chain... see you Saturday morning! Never been to Kaitoke and am looking forward to it.

[all4A50s]

24 hours to go and my bike nearly ready. Re-geared the bike, lifting the muffler and with luck will be able to get the pegs to bend. Let the games begin...

[Sketchy_Racer]

Pulled my bike apart, fixed seizure marks on bore, re-dress piston and re-jet. It's gonna be faster than ever!!

Oh and it's got brakes again (helps if there is brake fluid in the reservoir)

[Skunk]

All packed up and ready to roll (and fight the traffic), see you guys on saturday; looking forward to it.

Bugger me. What's with your engineer? The bike was running!

[Dutchee]

Thanks to whomever booked the weather. We had a few spits of rain on the drive back to Auckland, but nothing serious. That was brilliant as we'd seen it had rained earlier in places.
I thought having the racers doing the flagging was working well, and it was nice just to sit around and watch (not that I do much flagging, but after two solid days at Taumaranui didn't want the same scenario). Plus I could steal a dog for walks.
After my mission, I now have another goal I need to accomplish - get some time at Mt Wellington, and psyche myself up to do the two-hour with Trudes. Probably the first goal required is not to get hammered the night before (not an easy task). Oh, you can discreetly throw up so no one hears you hahahaha.
Thanks for a fun weekend, see some of you at Roy's Hill later this year, all going well.
Hope everyone had a safe trip home (we were about half an hour ahead of the fatal on Desert Road and wondered where the cops and fire trucks were heading).

[Bert]

Bugger me. What's with your engineer? The bike was running!

Haha, just about, still more issues than solutions... shame about the rider though.

Anyway, good on you guys for putting on such a great meeting. I personally had a blast as I'm sure everyone else did.

And a big thanks to Sponsers for putting on all the great prizes.

[Henk]

Thanks guys. Awesome weekend.
Stunning track you have to play on there.

[Skunk]

Thank you to all those the turned up - whether to race or help. You made the event as good as it was.
Special thanks to:
Kendog and Trudes - awesome help before and during the event helping organise and run it. Wouldn't have happened without you.
Fishie for filling in with his experience
Foxee for being Clerk of the Course - are you getting used to the low key Buckets yet?
Bernie for volunteering his time to be our MNZ steward. He's keen to do it again as you were such a great bunch. (This is the first time we've done this under MNZ)
Tazman - taking over flagging duties so I could get a (rusty) race in
Everyone else who helped flag, gate control and just lent a hand
And of course Skunk Control for taking care of the food and drinks at short notice

and importantly the sponsors:
Scooterazzi and Boyle Kawasaki.

Thank you all

[hmurphy]

Thanks again to everyone. I had a blast! I learnt heaps this weekend from Andrew A, Glen, Fish and Richard about racing and I look forward to the upcoming season. Awesome turn out and the weather held off for us. Cheers to Skunk for the big effort you put into this event and to all the others who made it run smoothly and provided food. Great to see so many out of towners, hope to see you all back soon! Thanks to the sponsors Scooterazzi and Boyle Kawasaki!! Hope you all had a great weekend too

[Shorty_925]

Hey Skunk thanks for TELLING me that I had to be there as your Clerk....I had a blast...when I wasn't cringing I was spillting myself with laughter...sadly I don't think I will get away with that for our Winter Series at Manfield *sigh*....it was an awesome meeting to be part of!....was great to meet you all!:)

[Her_C4]

Hi all,

What a great meeting - looks like great fun. Neat track to take photo's at for sure!!!

I took far to many images (as usual!) and have popped a selection up in my Facebook album http://www.facebook.com/pages/WF-Photography/170516153185 and the rest of them up on my website if anyone is interested http://www.wfactor.org/?p=gallery&m=bucket_racing.

No charge for an emailed 500pxl low res image - order via the 'order photos' tab on my website :)


Cheers,
Chrissie

[F5 Dave]

Awesome weekend, thanks to all the organisers & hope it can go ahead next year or any other time. Great for the Aucklanders etc for maknig the trip. It used to be only me tavelling to the big Auckland events for a few years so good to see others make the miles for some good racing. Glad the weather held up & so youse guys could sample a great track, lets hope we can keep it.

[Skunk]

No charge for an emailed 500pxl low res image - order via the 'order photos' tab on my website :)Cheers Chrissie, very generous of you. :)

[F5 Dave]

Hey Fishe check out that pic on 3rd page of Her_B4's page of you on your 50, great shot!

[andrew a]

Well put Hammish thanks to Andrew and helpers. I only did the Sunday and didnt have good frame of mind. I crashed in front of Richard and Steven in the practice. Young Sketchie did the unthinkable and fell off right in front of me just after passing. I went down. I was able to restart but had lost a lap. Taged on to Richard but unfortunatly he fell off to. Other races Ok but found the race pace very hot. Richard and Hammish were going very very well. Glen and Fishy were their ushall super fast.
The side car blast with Fishy at the lunch brake was cool. The neck got a bit saw. A few more laps I recon we could have got it backing into right handers good.
Annother highlight was the blast on Fishys 50. It has no power and brakes felt strange (no brakes). I think that contributed to the comming together with Adrien (I'm very sorry Adrien). I fount it talking to me like sparky and the train. I'm taking corners the wheels are skipping up and down and it is saying I'm going to chuck you off if you do that again. Fantastic fun. I pulled off early for fear of upsetting others. Thanks Fishy.
Caleb enjoyed himself and prowdley showed his mother his #2 placing for the Bs to dads participation cirtificate! Byron was also pleased to report he had put in a few laps also.

[F5 Dave]

Was good to see you enjoying the 50, they are frustrating battling with bigger bikes but satisfying the odd time you get it all sorted & slay Goliath. We need to drag a few out of corners & make a proper race of it. At Chch BOB a couple back there was ~ 14 of them on the grid.

[hmurphy]

I'd gladly invest in one to join you fellas if there was a cheap one around. Looking at fishies one it doesn't look like there is much to them. So surely they are cheap..?

[fi5hy]

theirs a heap of bike there if you look closely ( A REAL HEAP)

[fi5hy]

The side car blast with Fishy at the lunch brake was cool. The neck got a bit saw. A few more laps I reckon we could have got it backing into right handers good..

Any more time out there we were both going home in an ambo

Yes I should change the MDF front brake pads after a while you can smell the wood burning. That little Skipp from the front end is the bike going thought its count down process of DEATH to the rider. If your really brave count the skips if you get to 13 stop because the 14 one is the switch of DEATH.

[Trudes]

Wicked photos Chrissie!!! Thanks for that! I'd like a few so will get hold of you soon. I especially like the one where the Fish is passing me and giving me the stink eye as the mighty Rangi is out powering him down the straight :laugh: :laugh:

Cheers Chrissie, very generous of you. :) No probs - it helped me too as I had a few issues to try and sort out with my big lens (and pretty much sorted now!) :)

LOL thanks Trudes - yep I love that one - it is actually a sequence of shots, but in isolation it does actually look as though YOU are passing him :)

What a weekend. I am knackered. Thanks to all the people that traveled so far, really enjoyed the racing and watching the racing. Also thanks to all the people that helped organize this event. Kick ass job. I must say sorry to Kyle for knocking his bars and sending him down. Happened really fast and looked bad from my view. I hope you are ok. There were a more crashes than I have seen in a while. Everyone was pushing the limit of man and machine, makes me think how much faster can one go on a Kart track. Anyhow will post some more video later tonight / tomorrow.

Also thanks to my sponsor fishy/wynns for the onsite boot repairs. I hope Sketchy doesn't get jealous.
