Tokoroa and Taumarunui?

[Clivoris]

Is anyone able to provide any info about December/January bucket meetings in these towns? I am trying to plan my leave so we can be there but can't find anything definite.

[Shorty_925]

Taumranui is Jan 6th & 7th.
Tokoroa is Waitangi weekend so 4th & 5th Feb and aruagbly one of the best tracks around & wont be able to make it :no:

6th and 7th Jan are Fri and Sat. Is this correct? Malcolm and I are looking to come up to Taumurunui, wether we are racing or not. Think we were looking at taking Hamish up too?? Hamish - you coming?

[SHELRACING]

The Taumarunui Meeting is booked for the 7th and 8th January. For those that haven't been there before te track is great, there are clubrooms and camping at the track if you wish. The weather forecast is bloody good for both days. So there's no excuses for not coming

Thanks

Sweet, thanks guy's - lucky I just extended my leave until 10th Jan..... I am more than hoping to be riding (*read NOT crashing) at this event!

Soooooo, Adrian's not coming then? You going to sort your shit out and ride your ride, and not get out of people's way? Wahoo, I might be able to keep up with you this year then (read next year).

As for track, I second Steve's opinion of it - it's awesome, even if not riding, the camping's great, the company's debatable, the river's flowing (along with the alcomohol no doubt), the shower's might be fixed. Perfect.

[hmurphy]

Yeah I'll make it up hopefully. I'll try get Steve to come too. Maybe one or two others

I am second in command at the Kart club, and we the committee decided by unanimous decision that we would have perfect weather.

By the way don't crash into the bales at the bottom of the straight. Cos yer Jaffa mates will just leave you there unconch, Unconsi.... asleep until they finished the race :bleh:

[F5 Dave]

Well, its been a while since my last trip, but I've raced there a gazbillion times. I'll key up my mate Darrin & see if he's keen, but I'll try make it none the less.

Jaffas have mates?

Jaffas have mates?

Jaffas are nice, crunchy on the outside, soft on the inside, after they have been sucked a while... but Smarties are another thing,, as the old song goes " like a sucked and spat out Smarty, you're no use to anyone".:psst:

What you still dirty about that. FFS get over it, not our problem that you got sleepy mid race and decided to have a lie down:bleh:

[Clivoris]

Righty Ho. Plans will be made and submitted to the ffffinancial Gods. Would love to make both meetings. Looking very closely at Edgecumbe on 17 Dec. too.

[Shorty_925]

Ball and chain is get locked & welded on that weekend. And doubt ill be making Tauramanui either.

[F5 Dave]

yeah but you need somewhere to go for the honeymoon. Taumarunui track: Idealic setting by the river, but not too far from a buzzing metropolis if she wants to go shopping for the latest fashions, friendly natives. Its got everything.

[Shorty_925]

Tauramanaui is more of can i be assed, im sure the other two will go.

That happened to me on Feb 6th 1987. Friday was practice day at Manfeild, and Sat and Sunday was the Shell Two Wheeler meeting.

So after some clever negotiations, it was decided that the wedding would be on Friday so that I could race on the weekend. Only problem was I was still in plaster from Boxing Day at Wanganui. Got the cast off on Thursday before (about 12 days early.) No chance of riding tho.

So now here we are, 25 years on and there is racing on Waitangi weekend again. Negotiations are again underway.

Tokoroa is a nice place to camp at, next to the airfeild, good bunch of people, port on a corner, roller blading drunk, and the fantastic shopping at the various outlets in town.

She's sort of warming to the idea I think...:msn-wink:

Not any more. They can just 'play with themselves' from now on :lol:

Well I have been trying to forget, But my other half seems to take great delight in reminding me about it at every opportunity. :(

No track day (no bike!). Anyway, what are you thinking? People don't lend me bikes unless they don't want them back (working)!
