1.) MNZ rules for competition motorcycles.
These are non negotiable, lock wired sump plugs, catch bottles for crankcase breather, carb overflow hose, fuel tank breather, and coolant overflow for
the water cooled bikes.
Spin on oil filters to be secured with a hose clip or similar.

Applies to all Buckets and Motards

Please note MNZ rules 34.2.4 through to 34.3 regards Motards. ( 500cc min
size catch bottle, no glycol coolant, lock wire fillers and drains, noise
max 95 db).

2.) Roy's Hill track rules, in addition to the above.

All bikes to have crash knobs / bungs / nylon, call it what you will to the
following areas,

a.) Front and rear axles, or front fork legs and rear swing arm ( which ever
protrudes the most ).

b.) The underside of both foot pegs.

c.) Handle bar ends. ( Alloy bark busters here on Motards,)

d.) Any part of the frame or engine that will touch the ground if the bike
was laid on it's side.( Some claim the RS 125 tail / seat and tyres hits
first, so they don't need nylon swingarm / axle protection ???).
If this is the case, we reserve the right to push it off the stand and see what hits?

e.) Lock wired oil and water filler caps.

f.) A Grade riders only permitted in practice sessions and A Grade races,
same applies for B Grade. Any reasonable request to run outside of your
class ( machine sorting etc.. is at the discretion of the Clerk of the
Course.) Going for a quick fang or extra track time is not reasonable.

Well done guys nice to see you putting the rules to action. They well get the picture after being sent home a few times. Very hard to repair a fall out with the kart club re track damage.

[Shorty_925]

g.) grant is not to jump the start.

Talk to the flag dropper. Should be green flag up, then count 1,2,3 go.

I was under the impression that footpegs needed to be folding OR nylon'd? am I confused or is this a rule specific to the track?
Unfortunatly I will not be there this weekend anyway, just curious.

[Henk]

Kart tracks require the bike to be nyloned in such a way that no metal can touch and damage the track surface in the event of a crash.
Mt Wellington is probably the most relaxed of all the kart tracks in the country about this and it has been a while since there was a blitz so I guess we can expect one soon.
If we start carving holes in the tracks we can expect to lose the venues and that goes for Roys Hill and Kaitoke as well as Auckland.

One observation I make is a lot of people only seem to lie the bike on its side and don't seem to consider it flippin' and a floppin' down the track...

Flippin' and a floppin' is banned under Rule 104, section C and will not be tolerated. :angry:If you are going to crash we prefer laying it on it's side.:yes: Means you can get up and do the next race.:facepalm:

I think rule 104, section C and D would have ruled you out of at least 3 meetings last year?

Just when I'm trying to turn over a new leaf, and lead by example, out comes Rodney Hide, complete with yellow jacket, digging up dirt from the past.:shit:

If I'd only known that beforehand, I might have avoided a trip to the hospital! Anyway, was a shame I missed the next day's racing - it was great out on that long Taupo track - even on a bucket :). Unfortunately, I'll also miss this weekend at Roy's Hill - great little track, pit area and of course you friendly enthusiastic and helpful, people :). I'm aiming to make Tokoroa! :headbang:

Great 720P video. You did well to avoid Max and Tyler - hope they were OK - didn't look bad.

Cool vid, Tyler didnt have anywere to go, a FXR is quite wide when its sideways lying on the track. I still had the steering lock spacers in from when it had the fairing on at Taupo, The bars hit the fairing with out them. A bit more lock and he might have just missed Max

What sort of camera is it?
