Ah... you will be pleased to note sirs that due to forestry restrictions we can't get into the venue during the weekends. Hence all track work is done in secrecy and only a handful (Non racers) have actually had the opportunity to preview this BLOODY AWESOME track.
Yes, during your racing please note the work done and take time to enjoy the ride.

Yes its a goody.

The guy im doing the two man with has a broken kick start leaver, and he has to carry it in his back pack, so when he stalls (which he always does) it takes about two minutes to get back going again. So novice it is for us.

Ha ha. That reminds me.
The first time I did a Two Man I had Old bright Pink flouro gear. Felt like real Old school (yes, climintie still wears his and its now back in fashion). Anyway I had to borrow some boots and they were a shoe size 12. I wear a size 9 and they were way tooo big.
So My partner and I swapped boots every lap. Got freakin fast at doing a boot change over.

You have to go . Its your video's that made me choose north instead of south woodhill or rotorua .
I was looking forward to either yours or the flying cr's video coverage. hopefully i won't be
laying down if i am in one of them.

Good luck to all who go and no using KTM125's for traction!

I just cleaned my toy and found i shagged my front tyre this afternoon on rocks.

So i can head to cycletreads at 0900 tomorrow before the ride or use the tyre excuse.

on a side note would anyone be selling tyres up there at the event .

also any other suggestions for motorcycle shops that may be open on sunday so i dont have to head to north shore first. i am heading from huntly.

Sunday Casual

28th July 2010, 17:15

I really enjoyed it on Sunday. I was riding with my Dad in the father and son class.

Was a mint track, I loved it. The 300 was an ideal bike for up there. Got faster and smoother as the laps progressed and managed to run a 28.37 on my last lap. Feel as though I could have gone a bit faster if it wasn't for the flat front tyre but that's racing.

We'll be there at round 2 hoping to continue doing well in the father son class! Can't wait!

Cheers to Tony and the crew.

Sign on for the juniors closes at 8.30 and for the Seniors at 11.30am. This will be enforced this time as we still had riders turning up at 12.00pm when the race was due to start. Means we didn't start until 12.40.

Well the tracks are all done apart from the finishing touches and we again offer a pytherora of track.
From some pretty fast fire breaks, grassy stretches, fresh tighter stuff and even some loamy sections similar to the tracks at Tokoroa/ Taupo this race has it all.

The weather looks like it will be drissly, but remember that Woodhill especially the northern blocks have their own climate. Anyway the wetter the better in the sand country.
Just pissed I can't ride this one but I wiil be out marshalling and will take great pleasure in monitoring the "surprise sections" that we have ready for you punters. Couple of words. "remember the bog from the last round last year?"

Not the same but...Ha ha...

Got 2nd off the grid on my line so happy with that...wasn't so cool waiting at the bottom of the forrestry part just past the pits cos of the pile up of bikes! Oh yeah and I must remember that if I want to dig holes in the sand to go to the beach and not do it with my bike :shit: I have a buggered knee now though.

Was a great day and keen to do it again. I need to do some serious height and suspension changes to my bike to get it to the point that I can ride it with more confidence. If anyone wants to give pointers I am more than willing to learn :yes:

it was a good event, we got 9th overall but lost a bit of time when one bike got damaged and had to go back to riding one bike, was good track, bit tight for my liking in places but a bit of everything,

i have to say i have never been in a race where everybody you cuaght let you past so easily, it was truely the best we had ever seen, in those tracks some people can hold you up for a while, but everyone i came up on let me past as soon as they heard me,

(although a kx450f on the rev limiter is fairly loud)

She normally covers the horse scene and apparently met some guy that was riding the event at an all night rave the night before and he mentioned the event.
I think they do it full time but its an every weekend job. In the horse world they get your address/details from the organisers and then send out a watermarked pics with a buy now price.
Misses always ends up spending 50 bucks, but its money well spent cause you can't take a pic when ya riding.
Worth doing clmintie.
Pay the girls a comission and set them up with their own little business.

I have spent a few dollars of getting photo’s of my self on KB track days on the road bike.
Everyone is vain:love:, and everyone wants to see them self in action, that one shot to make them look better then what they actually are!!!
Even if you only emailed selected digital images and not bothered about sending out CD’s or printed pictures. People will still pay. A couple of bucks a file etc, ill pay that. And ill print it out at my own expense etc.
Much easier and less hassle, you won’t have to go hunting for pictures of people, as they will hunt for the image them self.
Just remember that water mark, so people don’t take advantage of all your efforts.
Just a option anyway

How do you get to some of the places that you take photo’s at? I swear you were just up the hill from the mud bog, then the next thing you were back by the finish tent. Before I even finished the lap!!!

Beam me up Scotty.

a god wet down before you wash the lime off, even give a wet down and leave it for 15 mins then wet it again then water blast it off, much easier to get off that way, lol climinte not quite right there, right breed of bike though...

Rain on the way home washed most off my car/trailer, but I thought I'd killed the car as it was vibrating like nothing else from off Rimmers Rd. Visit to the mechanic on Mon morning and found a rock lodged between the gearbox and the chassis. Note to self... get a 4x4! Cars just too damn low over those access roads.
