[dhunt]

What's the deal with power in the stalls/free pits these days? Or should I just bring the generator?

[Matt Bleck]

First in first served I do believe

[dhunt]

First in first served I do believe
Yeah but can you use power in the free pits? I think I remember hearing something about them changing things or something.

[Matt Bleck]

Yeah but can you use power in the free pits? I think I remember hearing something about them changing things or something.

oh, I think you my be right, some about a special plug? Best you contact the track about that one.

[kiwifruit]

Yeah but can you use power in the free pits? I think I remember hearing something about them changing things or something.

I'll find out for you today, stand by

[Str8 Jacket]

May I sit please?

[kiwifruit]

May I sit please?

Pillion ?

[Quasievil]

I'll find out for you today, stand by

They have whats like a 3 phase plug on the wall, you need to have this kind of connection going to a normal plug type to plug into your tyre warmers, I had one but lost it after racing last year, It wasn't expensive to get made up.
Unless you're running race tyres it would be cheaper to do two laps to warm up your tyres first.

[Str8 Jacket]

Pillion ?

:eek:

<giggidygiggidy>

[kiwifruit]

:eek:

<giggidygiggidy>

In the stables they have just normal plugs ya find in any house, not sure about the plugs in the building pit's were all the speady guys and girls hang out:violin: one day

[kiwifruit]

[kiwifruit]

There are normal power points in the stables that you can use

[SuperSonic]

FMS today at track massive thanks to MotoTT crew, big thanks to the weather Gods, (please bring same weather for next weekend too please).:sunny:
A few offs from people me included, but no drop just wanted to check how the gravel traps work, they work very well:yes:. Had to use third gear to get out, man they are deep!! :innocent: Still a bit wet in the in field too but not to bad.:violin:

Still total minta of a day, got to try out some new lines and better boby position which all came together in the last outing.:woohoo: No knee down yet, next time!:yes:

[Punchy]

Awesome, awesome day. Cheers Supersonic for being so patient as I tried to figure the day out.

[crazyhorse]

Weather is looking great for tomorrow :sunny:

:wari: Hey Alan, many thanks for the two-up thrill going around the track today - totally awesome. :woohoo: Was heaps of fun, and what a great way to learn all the lines properly....... :yes:

Thanks to all who made it a great day :first:

[Deano]

A few offs from people me included, but no drop just wanted to check how the gravel traps work, they work very well:yes:. Had to use third gear to get out, man they are deep!!

I wondered if you were going to dig yourself a hole for a minute.

What actually happened ?

It looked very calm, just rolling off the track like that - hard to tell from the side of the track though.


No knee down yet, next time!:yes:

Mmm - thats surprising - you looked fast and smooth through splash.

[kiwifruit]

Awesome day! :sunny: :sunny:

Really enjoyed the Harley thanks Sinfull and the SV thank you Deano. Two very different machines, both a lot of fun.

The Harley was like being on holiday, really comfortable and "cool".... kinda hard to describe. It was like taking part in an event more than going for a ride.

Glad you enjoyed the pillion ride on Steven's BKing Shirley! You did really well :D


I'll have lots of photos online later on tonight. Had a good play with Alick Saunder's (our professional photographer) camera after lunch which was cool. Very trick bit of gear that.

There were a couple of other photographers there too. I'll post details on the website when i know them.

[johan]

I had a great day, thanks crew! :sunny:

:wari: Hey Alan, many thanks for the two-up thrill going around the track today - totally awesome. :woohoo: Was heaps of fun, and what a great way to learn all the lines properly....... :yes:

Thanks to all who made it a great day :first: So that was you clutching at bugger all on the back of that Bking lol Crazynag fursure, was thinking yr best bet was go for the eyegouge !


Awesome day! :sunny: :sunny:

Really enjoyed the Harley thanks Sinfull Your welcome was hard core watching you give the kneedown a crack lol if anyone could, it'd be you. perhaps we should mount a RH OEM peg and get some cool photos !


I had a great day, thanks crew! :sunny: Long time no catch up Johan, looking good out there man, flapping tailpeice and all !
Woulda come said gidday but close as i could get was throwing stones at ppl from the middle !

[cowboyz]

awesome day! just a magic day for it. All in our group made it round in RB times which shows the awesome condition of the track really. I was real keen to get out today with Dhunt and give it a serve and after a couple of sessions of him taking the scenic pace round the track we had what could only be decribed as the session of the year. Its so awesome going head to head with someone real close for 20 mins. I must admit to chickening out of the battle after a huge slide on the dodgey corner that in trying its best to end the 9s life known as Higgins.

Big ups to motott. awesome awesome day!

[SuperSonic]

Awesome, awesome day. Cheers Supersonic for being so patient as I tried to figure the day out.

Sweet as mate only to happy to help out, totally glad you had a awesome day, PM ya link of next weekend:yes::woohoo:

[Marknz]

No knee down yet, next time!:yes:

Knee down is over-rated... just let it happen rather than try to get it there :scooter:

[SuperSonic]

I wondered if you were going to dig yourself a hole for a minute.

What actually happened ?

It looked very calm, just rolling off the track like that - hard to tell from the side of the track though.

Yeah I guess it would have look calm and all, was catching another Sv 1000 into splash and lost my turning in point/line of site and just felt over all wrong so baled out and went to see the gravel for a bit.

I to was thinking am not getting out of here just down:gob:



Mmm - thats surprising - you looked fast and smooth through splash.

Cheers, yeah I really like turn two/splash/turn 3/hairpin combo, and feel fast and faster every lap I do, but find Higgins and Toyota and to a less a degree Dunlop harder coners to get right. Have not sorted braking/gear combo yet for those ones. But was following someone on a white race bike(looked like a 600ish) and notice's his line into Toyota, tried it on the last outing, Nice :yes:, same thing happened into Dunlop.
I think I need to just brake less going into those coners. (bigger balls me think):blink:

Got a week to think on it then Summer test day here I come:woohoo:

[White trash]

Andy and Jen stopped by for the night last night (fuck we got pisssssed) and they both had a thoroughly enjoyable day.

[dhunt]

Yeah thanks guys for putting on an awesome day. Couldn't have asked for a better run day to get back into riding on the race track.

[DEATH_INC.]

What a shit hot day, haven't been to manfield for ages ( a couple of years at least ) Had a heap of fun and didn't bloody crash for a change! Couldn't come to grips with the bloody sweeper onto the front straight though...but did manage to scrape my toe sliders through turn 1 :shit:
Draco :love: it too and is dead keen to go back.

We'll be back, especially when motott do the full track please please please :yes:
