2011 f4 f5 gp

[richban]

Hello all.

Does anyone know of a club or group looking at running this event? I am willing to help in any way I can to make something happen this year. Just need to know if there are things in the pipe line before I try and find a way to make it happen within this year. Can't let Andrew A have an uncontested title. Also the F5 field will be a lot bigger by the sound of things this year.

There is a big hole in the event calendar with out a big track GP. What ever eventuates it would be great to make it a sustainable annual Bucket main event. The fields are growing all over the country and the bikes and riders are getting better and faster. A massive annual GP / TT would be great. As Taupo has been in the past. You never know if it was well sorted we might even get some visitors from across the ditch.

[F5 Dave]

Manfield back cct?

[Shorty_925]

Would be cool to have a 45min race.

[jasonu]

Manfield back cct?
A really good bucket track


Would be cool to have a 45min race.
To be a legit. GP that would have to be a must IMO (and no others ie SS150, classics or jet powered superbikes in the same race either).

[F5 Dave]

All we need now is a club to run it.:corn:

[richban]

All we need now is a club to run it.:corn:

All I want to know is if any club in the north island is planning a GP. If not then people can get together and see if it can be done anyway.

[Henk]

I had heard a rumour it was moving south this year when the TRRS wasn't happening.
Could be a completely unfounded rumour with absolutely no facts behind it.

[Kickaha]

Would be cool to have a 45min race.

BOB is always 55 min + 1 lap even when it's torrential pissing down rain bordering on snow

[F5 Dave]

You're not selling it Kick.

Honestly it has only been like that once I remember in '08 & largely 'cause it was run in the middle of winter. This time is mid October.

Go the BOB.

[all4A50s]

I heard a rumour a couple of clubs are working together for staging a Bucket GP in the early part of next year. Let's hope it includes a BBQ, beer and lots of buckets.

I have been trying to get a date at Manfield short track in Feb or March, trouble being we cannot run it when there is high speed action on the main track, there is not yet a safety barrier bewteen the tracks, and yes it really wouldn't be funny to have a big fat V8 touring car taking out 8 buckets as it slid out of control.

Feild Days weeks in March are a problem and the cost is looking at about a bit over $2k for the weekend, which I am sure we can cover IF there is no clashes with the likes of Paeroa etc.

This would also suit being a round of the North Island Series.

I will work on this tomorrow and report my finds tomorrow eve or Sat morning.

Labour weekend?

To save on costs, best thing would be to try and piggy-back off one of the trackdays e.g. Honda something-or-rather??? Went to a backtrack day last year which was organised as warm-up to Cemetry Circuit.

Funny shit was...St Johns were there for the main track riders, mainly a bunch of touring bike types. They seemed to decide pretty quick to 'position' themselves closer to backtrack - even tho no one had any big offs :woohoo:

[richban]

I have made lots of calls today. Myself and others are trying for a GP this year. If it were next year as has been suggested it would have be uncontested for 2011. And we can't have that. Taupo is where I am trying to make things happen. It is the best track for a GP. Also it will be a proper race length. Watch this space after the weekend.

[F5 Dave]

Manfield back cct isn't too shabby either on a Bouquet.

[NSR143]

Sadly the back track at Manfield is not available Feb, March or April.

I would be happy to use our Taumarunui booking for the GP event if that has support.

Any other thoughts??

I personally would like to see it at Taupo before the end of the year. As Richban says,
"If it were next year as has been suggested it would have be uncontested for 2011. And we can't have that."

For me Taupo is also the traditional location.

[NSR143]

perhaps using the old (No3??) track over the back?? might be a cheaper option.

[TZ350]

perhaps using the old (No3??) track over the back?? might be a cheaper option.

Yes please, our fast 2-strokers would just love to strech their leggs on the back straight.

[speedpro]

A GP has been run on that track twice, both times by the Hamilton club. They put a chicane at the start of the straight which worked well. Me and Jim lapped third place one year.

[Pumba]

As Richban says,
"If it were next year as has been suggested it would have be uncontested for 2011. And we can't have that."

But as long as the GP is held before June 2012 then it has been contested for this season. No different to when the AMCC held the GP in Feb/March(???) and then it was held in December at the TRRS. Same year but different seasons.

Well it makes sense to me anyway.

As you were

[richban]

perhaps using the old (No3??) track over the back?? might be a cheaper option.

If we get a race together I think we will need to think about safety a little closer. If we had 30 laps of the 2.2km circuit (should be close to 40 mins) there would be a hell of a lot lapped traffic in battles. Historically the speed difference between riders has been quite large. If it was wet you would have people on slick's and on wets and god knows what else. I for one want everyone to have a chance at doing well and getting a chance to beat there time from last year. On a smaller track it could be carnage. Track 2 Taupo has worked in the past. Also the track is more about riding than out right power. Proven by Andrew A winning his first GP on a near stock bike. I think the GP should be about hard racing. You never know what may happen over a long distance. Bike's blow up, people fall off, anyone could win. Still waiting to hear back from the Taupo people. I am trying for the 4th of December day after the MotoTT track day. If anyone knows of any conflicting dates please post here. Yes Hastings round 11 is that weekend. We would need minimal support classes Motards, SS, Classics, don't know. If we get the usual 50 buckets we are over half way there.

[Henk]

Rich the round at Roys Hill on the 4th is also the last round of the NI champs in case you weren't aware.
Would make it a damn hard call deciding which of the two to attend.

FUCK SHIT FUCK FUCK FUCK.

As you can tell, I was not aware of this. No problem Plan B is now in affect.

[richban]

Its a stat holiday this year so might be easier for people to make that date. Anyway not many options out there really. That at least is the same time as last year.

[diesel pig]

I do not know about any other mainlander but if you have the GP at Taupo I would drag my ass up to it. Just as long it is not right on Xmas/New years like the TRRS which was the only thing I hated about that meeting.

[NSR143]

Is there an option at Taupo for other December dates?

[Henk]

Current bookings look pretty full.

It is going to be impossible to please everyone. I suppose all we can do is keep an open discussion going and try and work something out that will make as many people happy as possible.

There are 2 big national events on the bucket calendar that have a real prestige. BOB and the GP. I have raced both and think that if you got more of the south up here and more of the north down there. It would be epic. If you combined the numbers you are looking at well above 100 bikes. Rather impressive really. If you won both you would be the national champ in my opinion. Out of interest has anyone ever done that?

The glass is half full Henk.

My glass has been mysteriously emptying itself all night, time for another top up.

[Dutchee]

What about the 12-13 November? I see it's booked for the Pac Motorcycle Club Car round. Pretty sure it's the week before the 2 hour and N.I. round up in Auckland, though.

Out of interest, how many cars turn up to these sorts of events or do they mean sidecars? hahaha

[F5 Dave]

Yeah short track like Tauramnui, much as I love the place isn't suitable for a GP.

For heavens sake lets keep it away from Christmas.

The GP has been held most times at Ohakea, but those days are gone. We've seen it at Ohakune & Foxton, Taupo old track, Auckland kart track (not suitable but in a pinch) & Taupo new track. Not sure if forgetting anywhere (NI).

Was one of these a street circuit ?? is that a option for us ? I for one would love it' but It would be a nightmare to organise ..

[sidwyz]

To me the simple solution is to book the 4th dec, have the GP at Taupo (great location and timing)

As for the Roys Hill round they have a round there, what, nearly every month? Reschedule the north island series to another meeting.
If people have time off ect booked in to travel to it im sure they could use that for the GP instead.

Not to get into a shit fight, but the NI rounds are 2 days, not the usual 2 hours practice and one day racing (NSR143, correct me if I'm wrong) - so, to my way of thinking, needs more organisation with the kart club to do.

It was booked early this year. We've got NI rounds in October (Kaitoke), November (Auckland) and December (RH). September isn't far away, and with the amount of people travelling for the NI rounds (not enough), not much time to organise something.

One possible way of doing it would be Saturday in Taupo for the GP, then head over to RH for the NI round, as it's not really that far away (distance wise), but could be a logistical nightmare for organisers.

It doesn't seem fair that someone has gone to a lot of time and effort organising a good (undersubscribed) series, only to have it pushed aside at the last minute.

I'm not really fussed either way, as chances are I'll just be taking my bike along to get "under the weather" and not even riding (especially Taupo). Then again, I'm not a race head, just a piss head, who gets too intimidated by the meat heads on track.

Anyway, that's my thought on it, I'm not organising anything, and will be told where I'm going.

[all4A50s]

27th suits Amy and me better as work dries up then and it's what its been for the recent years. The 4th I run into trouble with work picking up as in most service industries as people are trying to have stuff done before Christmas. But for this I'd take the 3rd off just for the intelligent conversations through amber coloured glasses the night before and/or after a days racing.

Anyone had any thoughts about overnight accommodation (as in could we stay at the track) or bulk booking the local camp grounds?

[NSR143]

I can assure you there is nothing 'car' related at that meeting. We have a club meeting this week, I will bring the subject up.

[F5 Dave]

Yeah both Foxton & Ohakune were street races & not really practical these days, esp Foxton which is now shopping & windmill sundays.

Ohakune was a tickle dangerous it has to be said. The end of the straight if you missed it went over rocks into a stream, if you missed the trees. I was always fast in that corner, but I never looked to see what was beyond till a few years later. I tumbled over Speedpro on the entrance to that corner, fortunately someway before the danger apex when Spee came past & braked, folding the front end like a map in a tourist's windscreen.

[Shorty_925]

Nov 26th & 27th free at Taupo.

[diesel pig]

Nov 26th & 27th free at Taupo.

Sounds awesome hire it hire it hire it repeat until you fella's HIRE IT!

[F5 Dave]

Well apart from the Chatham Islands Anniversary on the monday it looks free.

Still needs a club to agree to pick it up.

.. . .but it would make my other Taupo based thread applicable again.

[Str8 Jacket]

Still needs a club to agree to pick it up.


Also need an MNZ permit a steward and some volunteers to flag and marshall etc (who should probably get paid if it's held at Taupo).
Also need riders who may even have to be prepared to pay more $$ to ensure that the club who picks up the event won't lose $$....

It can be done, if someone/s is happy to get involved and sort the above plus other things. Could be a huge risk to a club too...

Malcolm and I won't be able to make it but it would be awesome to see the event go ahead. On the other hand, would it really be so bad if it was contested before the end of the financial year??

[Tard]

Its a stat holiday this year so might be easier for people to make that date. Anyway not many options out there really. That at least is the same time as last year.

Hey, full-credit to picking up the unenviable task of trying to organise bucketeers..:niceone:

My 2c. Maybe another famous spreadsheet is in order (like bucket no.s version) to try and get commitment on dates etc??? Something like...turn-up regardless of date & location blahblahblah. This could also provide whichever club picks it up, some indication it won't break the bank?

[all4A50s]

Is it possible to get some sort of costing and/or cost of entry/garage hire. I'm happy to hire a garage again and help out as much as possible.

[richban]

The 4th of Dec is booked at Taupo. So no need to worry about a clash with the north island round. That's good coz I will be riding at Roy's. I will ring Taupo tomorrow and get a summery of the dates that are actually available. The booked dates showing on the website are not up to date by the looks.

Yes this can't go ahead without a club being involved. But that is not a problem. Its more the date.

I have had lots of messages from people saying they want this event to happen so its good to see that people are enthusiastic. What I am proposing is an event that mirrors BOB. 1 day of hard out racing with the GPs in the middle. Minimal support classes but they will be needed. Would be nice if the day before was a track day for those that want the extra track time.

Anyway keep up the suggestions as the more people talk about this the more likely it will happen.

What would we call it. Something like THE REDBULL F4/F5 GP ROAD RACE SPANDANGULAR. Has a nice ring. Yeah dream on. Anyone out there with connection to someone with actual money that might want to be associated with the likes of us lot let me know.

[all4A50s]

I'll take 2 entries, laps of blissful battles finishing with a drink over light banter and intelligent wit.

F4 / F5. Same as how they are mentioned in the rules page I think.

So it is.
Very cool getting this sorted then.

[Rick 52]

Bloody brilliant !! you guys rock :woohoo:

Could be an awesome weekend, GP Saturday Taupo followed by Buckets at Roys Hill Sunday assuming the HB boys have some luck getting their consent issues sorted.

time to start on the bike again I feal :woohoo:

[Buddha#81]

hmmmmm.....up on friday back sunday.......2 people and a ute $220 each way. Who's in from down here? Cant let the Norf Islander have it all there own way!

[richban]

Just noticed the track. If we all pay more can we have track 2? Please?

[Kickaha]

Track 3, may as well just give the trophy to whoever has the most HP now

[Kickaha]

hmmmmm.....up on friday back sunday.......2 people and a ute $220 each way. Who's in from down here? Cant let the Norf Islander have it all there own way!

Neil is considering going up but if it is track 3 personally I think you're better off not wasting your time

http://www.tauporacetrack.co.nz/default.asp?sid=9&cid=16&aid=

[richban]

Track 3, may as well just give the trophy to whoever has the most HP now

It can be modified quite a lot. So I here. But track 2 is the best bucket big track I have ever ridden. Its been proven that HP can be beaten with skill on that circuit. Andrew A won his first GP on a near standard FXR there. The next year he won with skill in the rain. Best track. And by the way he can't win 3 in a row that is just wrong.

Modified? how?

I'd rate it second best after Levels

[richban]

Modified? how? Traffic lights on the straight bits. Fuck knows just trying to stay positive.

I'm just glad it's happening at all, was looking a bit touch and go for a while.

Well, by the way this is actually a Sunday race. This has been bouncing around for a while as we had had no luck and then we thought Skunk had it in hand then we were offered a chance at Track 3 and had talked to MNZ and then heard again that Skunk had applied so left it but it seems that Pacific Club has it. This was launched onto the MNZ website before we expected.

The day will also involve a Track Day so bring other bikes if you can. Nigel is organising entry details and will have them available shortly.

THIS will take place instead of Roys Hill on that weekend. We will be applying for a single event permit from local council for the 3rd/4th December round of the NI Series

Thank you Nigel, Skunk and NSR :)
Hmm, track day, wonder if I could get the RS around the track a bit quicker than the bucket. Probably not, or not by much lol. Then again, wonder if I could get the RS out from under Henk. Fat chance, but I'll have to ride Max down to Taupo.

[F5 Dave]

Hey thanks guys for organising something. We've run the bucket GP on this track configuration before, but I'm not sure how much (if at all) it has changed. It wasn't that bad, we put a bit of a chicane early in the straight which limited the speed you entered the straight.

Glad to be able to race. Orr-sum!

[speedpro]

It's easy to put a chicane in the straight to even things up. It's been done before and worked well. It's still a great little track on a bucket.

Agree with Rich about the other track being better though.

[Rick 52]

What Mr Green said !!

But its brilliant to have the GP on again and at a central NI location ..Great work from all the people involved in sorting it out ! Cheers fellas ..

[Henk]

Aklanders, lets get together tommorrow and come up with a plan about where to stay Saturday night. Unless we can camp at the track. :drinkup:

[speedpro]

You used to be able to camp at the track, it seemed like it may have been a proper campground, without the showers, part from the one in the bottom of the old clubrooms/tech shed. Lack of garages would be a down side - getting old and soft don't you know.

[jasonu]

I've ridded a lot on the old track and it is a great bucket track. We had a race that involved 5 RG50's nose to tail for the lead, no chicanes just flat out. As long as the GP is atleast 30 minutes long the high HP bikes may have a speed advantage but they still have to finish the race. It will take a good handeling, properly braked, lightweight bike with a good motor and a good rider to win on that track.

Thats at least 10 riders in with a shout then :gob:

[Henk]

Rick, surely there are more than 10 stockish FXRs turning up to ride past the highly strung line trimmer powered bikes as they smoke in ruins beside the track.

Actually before I start trying to wind you up I should ask you if you'll have space for an extra bike on the trailer, if all goes well I might have a second F5 bike to drag along.

[NSR143]

Hhaha we will see Mr Henk we will see !! Its a few years since a standard FXR with a pome on board could win such a race .
Yes mate should have some room for a Tiddler...

[koba]

Thats at least 10 riders in with a shout then :gob:

It really is interesting if you sit and think of all the riders capable of winning the GP if all goes well for them.

It really says something that Andrew A won twice in a row under such circumstances.

To ask a totally off-topic question: Do you know what the fat arse tail piece on your FXR was from? Where did you get it?

[Kickaha]

It really is interesting if you sit and think of all the riders capable of winning the GP if all goes well for them.

Chances are you're only thinking of the NI riders to, there's 2-3 from down here attending who are quite capable of winning it

[koba]

Na, a few of them are included in my sideline musings but I must admit I'm not fully aware of who is who and who goes well down there.

Note to self: must get down south again, can't believe its been 3+ years since our BOB effort!

[Dutchee]

I reckon I can easily win, but not sure how much to pay the person taking everyone else out for me. What's a fair price? Got to take into consideration there's no prize money, so no real benefit for me winning except I always come last, so it'd be fun to win something lol

Always keep in mind the gold medal winner at speed skating (think he was an Australian) - he may have been off the pace (with everyone wondering how the hell he got into the finals), but he won gold. Miracles can happen bwahahahaha

I thought that may have been it.

A mate had one that got the nick-name Jo-lo.

Right, I'm now on the lookout for one.

[Yow Ling]

I would rate the current 125GP champion as in with a chance.
maybe the former 125GP champion with a chance
Hell Id even rate a 30 yr old Steadman engine powered bike with a hot local guy.

And they all fit in 1 car !

[Kickaha]

a hot local guy.

A "hot" local guy?

Is there something you're not telling us? (I would have used the word fast myself)

I didnt know the current 125 champ was coming? He's offshore at the moment. Two former 125 gp champs are coming one is confirmed, my moneys on him! During my conversations with him there is no return trip if he doesn't come up with the goods!

[Shorty_925]

Could almost turn this into a North v South or interclub/regional battle.

Shit the pre race weigh in aint gunna be pretty.

I'm torn. Do I keen biking to work and not drinking to many beers in the hope I can foot it with the skinny fast kids. Or drive the van to work eat a few more pies and step up for the big boys race. I know the more fun option. Surly we can lift the height restriction.

Or does it go on your BMI...?

Or does it go on your BMI...? Won't really matter for Rich. If he survives the BoB he won't be in any condition to do the GP. Gotta pave the way for a SI victory..... one less fast bugga :shutup:

[all4A50s]

As long as the GP is atleast 30 minutes long the high HP bikes may have a speed advantage but they still have to finish the race. It will take a good handeling, properly braked, lightweight bike with a good motor and a good rider to win on that track.

I think you just ruled out every bike/rider:corn::rockon::scooter:

Who's camping at the track?
