Hey all,

What a great days racing! some really close racing in both A Grade and B grade! It was nice to see some new faces on the bucket scene and cant wait to see you all up the front challenging for those top spots....

Quick question: Does anyone have are footage of the races? Bike cam?

PS. Dad took a few pics of the day and he will be uploading them for all to see soon =)

Cheers,
Connor

Hey, I forgot to wish you a happy birthday. I thought Henk had brought the cake and we were all singing to you at briefing, but I guess he ate it (or didn't buy it).

There was some good racing, but damn that was hot.

Anyone else suffering thru top gear? I do like some of their tacky gift ideas.

Good to see the strokers keeping the F4 boys honest.

I think the strokers got a couple of wins and a handfull of placings in A grade today.

DAM.. was telling my mate that i would like to pop in and say hi.. i just didn't know when it was on.. (was at the pub this afternoon when i said this..)

[Henk]

The pub wouldn't have been a bad option today.
I've lost track of how much powerade and water I've drunk today and I still have a dehydration headache.
Far too damn hot.

Hi all just flicked through the pics. Looks like Rick did very well with a win. Con grads. Gav looked to come second. He has a very fast FXR and can ride well in the wet that I have seen.
I can only guess it must have been hot temprature and hot racing. Well done boys (people).

It was a bloody hot day but good fun ..The win was brilliant but Gav ,Dave D and Nathaniel kept me away from the podium in the other races.The new bike is showing great potential I just need to learn how to ride it and iron out the little problems ..
1st time I braked hard the back wheel shot up ! Rs brakes are brilliant...

I rode Ned Kellys bike around nice and slow (first time around a track since June last year)

forgot how good they braked
half way down the straight I eased off the gas and gently applied some pressure with 2 fingers to the brake lever.
next thing i know I'm looking at the tarmack and the back wheel is trying to come over my head :shit:

I only did the practice day but I enjoyed it a lot:woohoo:, great bunch or people.
Was getting the hang of " off the seat and feet on the pegs"
Going to look at the gearing...any tips?
I'd like to bin the GN 250 carb....I hate CV carbs ( former BMW airhead owner)....need a 28 mm Dellorto.:innocent:

12 front 48 rear and a honda XR 500 carb sounds mad but with some setting up they work very well ...CV carbs are rubbish .Thats if you have a FXR..

I'm a fellow CV hater.

R.E. Gearing, Low is good, ratios are closer together at top of box so better to be ising say 4th 5th and 6th on a kart track rather than 2nd,3rd and kind of but not really 4th or whatever.

I ran one of the OKO PWK Keihin knock offs that Stu Hines is selling for the first time on the weekend, and loaned a GN carb to Captain Soup, who had been running the stocker. At the end of the day he was about to start looking for a GN carb, then he took my bike out and I think he may have changed his mind.
I still need to sort out the throttle cable / body combination to sort out the 1/4 turn of cable slack but the OKO is so much better off the bottom out of corners that I'll live with that if I have to. Need to pull the plug and see if I can go to a smaller main since it seems to go a bit flat up top but still way better all round than than the GN carb, probably pulling an extra 1000 RPM at my breaking point down the straight than I was, close to the limiter in 4th, traffic permitting.
