Ruapuna National Points, Bucket race

[Bren_chch]

Hey All

We have been offered the A circuit (tri-oval) for what will be a 15min F4 race which will be run at the National Points Series - Round 1 event which is to be held at the Ruapuna Raceway, January 15th – 17th.

If there is enough interest from the bucket community then we will be racing on the 17th which is a Sunday and the day of the NZ GP race.

This invitation is extended to all F4 riders who have a full race licence and who have completed 3 or more race events.

The cost is $10.00 which will also give you a special discounted price 2 day pass so you can enjoy the racing on both Saturday and Sunday.

Please reply ASAP with registration of interest so we can get an idea on numbers. Also note that there may be a limit to the amount of bikes/riders we can have on the grid so don’t delay.

We will also need 4 flag marshals so if anyone is keen to help with that then please let us know.

Regards
Brendan / BMRC

Come on Trash surely you have put better bait on the hook than that if you want a bite:bye:

[White trash]

Haven't had enough bourbon tonight mate :D

All good though, I know the bucket racing scene is a hell of alot better subscribed to than any other road racing class. Not all due to the cost either.

Bugger - no race license currently...

[Monkeynz]

I'm gutted, I thought I might get my first race of the year in but I won't qualify just yet due to my racing virginity. I'm still trying to wrangle getting to Levels but might have to leave that until another meeting during the year. All the best to you real racers, I'll get there one day, :rockon:

[White trash]

Hehehe, all good mate, Im sure we can find a bike for ya, if ya down this way!

LOL. mate, you know me. All talk, no action. I wouldn't dare let my ego take the hiding it so desperately deserves by accepting any such gracious offers

It's because it's the premier class you homo

Premier class for kids and dropkicks that need three wheelers to stay upright.

[TonyB]

Count this dropkick in.
Whoever pulled this off is a legend

Thats James Smith sorted then !

[Ghost_Bullet]

Going to give this thing some consideration, cant say 100% right now, but sure like the idea.

[Adam_B]

I'll be in. As long as I can get the footpeg sorted in time.

Hmmm if I grab Timg's foot peg then James Smith can have the rest of the bike... Na, he'd still beat me

[k14]

Tentatively count me in, need to get my other bike running first and then work out how to fit two of them in the van!

Whoever has not got tickets can come and collect from me in the week, or make use of your 2 day entry and meet me at the ruapuna gates on saturday for some gret racing viewing, i'll set a time later in the week, i'll also send out a newsletter with more information.

If anyone you know can help with being a flag marshall for 15mins then they can have a weekend pass for $10.00, pretty damn good deal, thanks to MCI www.mci.net.nz we need FOUR marshals and well will tell you how the flag system works on the day.

Cheers

[Ghost_Bullet]

Sadly for I, work commitments have me somewhat grounded. I cant even get out for a look let alone hold a flag... :(

[gav]

Have all those riders get there 3 stamps in there log books?

[Bren_chch]

can u spot someone?

[Bren_chch]

ok - bit of an update

Mick Ruane (MCI club president) will be setting us up some space for Sunday and I suspect it will be down the far end by the drive school.

We will all need to be there and setup for Sunday morning so we are fully organised in plenty of time, I suggest that a 9am arrival would be a good time to get there, get setup in our area and enjoy some racing from the hillside.

When we are called up we need to make sure all buckets will be at the pitlane entrance for the start of the tri-oval fun race.

We will line up to the left side of entrance (near the clubrooms) so the right side is clear for any incoming track traffic.

There are still no volunteers for flag marshals. i don't want to sound like the bears club but basically if we don't get any we don't race because the official flag marshal for the NZGP will be on lunch break.

I will sort and brief riders on grid positions before the event.

We will do a 1 lap warm up then grid up and start on a flag drop.

When the finish flag has dropped we will complete our lap and pull off at the clubroom end.

It will be announced at various times on Sunday that there will be a 15min fun race to watch at lunch time provided by the ‘Bucket Motorcycle Racing Club’.

Cheers
Brendan

[Bren_chch]

We have 23 riders for the lunchtime fun race.

We now have four flag marshals so thanks to them for their time.

If you have paid your entry but not received your entry ticket then you need to contact my via email, that way I can leave your ticket at the gate from Saturday morning for you to pickup over the weekend.

I'll have the start grid set, drawn up and on display for the Sunday so when you see it take note of who you are next to.

They should be advertising us on TV to get the crowds along :)

[Bren_chch]

lol! :laugh:

[=cJ=]

If you need another volunteer/dogsbody/flag guy, I should be floating round if needed. :-)

[Suzi Q]

I have been debating wether to race or not, glen is now home and he does want to get out to the track to watch. Hopefully we can get my bike out there early and I can just turn up and race!

I'll take your bike out if you want. Can swing by on my way.

[Bren_chch]

NEWSFLASH...
Pits for buckets will be on the left before you enter the main pit area, gates will be unlocked and signs will be posted.

Good idea, keep the filthy bucket racing mongrels away from the real racers (all 5 of us) :bleh:

[gav]

Thanks to all involved in making this happen. Was a fun race despite the conditions. Hopefully we put on a good show for the crowd :)

[Monkeynz]

It was great watching you guys riding around, some very gingerly. I did however wish I was out there with you but i think I would have been one of the ones riding gingerly too.

[Kickaha]

Looked good from where I was standing (up in the hospitality lounge with free snacks and drinks)

[Bren_chch]

lol... how did u blag your way in there?

[Muzzab]

How did it go? look forward to a write up and pic's and video. Weather not to flash eh?
Would have been great to be there, but with school holidays and me back at work during the week I wouldn't
even suggest popping over the hill for the weekend. I did fire up a two stroke though, took the boat to
the lake lol.....not quite the same and the sun burn is starting to really heat up.

Cheers
Muzza

[=cJ=]

Looked absolutely brilliant. I dragged my girl and her folks along to watch and they seemed mighty impressed with the whole spectacle.

Much mention was made about the two stokes (all what, two or three that there were :p )
