Nigel mentioned at this years GP prize giving that he intends to have as much track time for 2012 as was at 2011 GP.

I know that is what he said. I am just not sure that is possible with all the other classes on the program all wanting there slice of track time. And if the day start running behind (which is a definite possibility due to rain or other incidents) which situation is more likely, reduction in the length of the Superbike races or a reduction to the length of the Bucket races. Maybe I am just a cynical prick, but if I was putting on a Nationals meeting I know what I would do.

Its possible with whats in place. Still plenty of time to mull over it, entries do not close till 3rd of March.

Can always come along and get some practice on the 11th & 12th of Feb at Taupo : http://www.sportsground.co.nz/files/Site/130/95/Pdf/110831185638ZZKENQYP.pdf

Speaking of transponders, and specifically the AMB ones, what are the differences between the Radio Controlled, Kart, and Motorcycle transponders. Would a RC one or a KArt one work on a motorcycle, esp a bucket?

Don't Forget that you require a MNZ COMPETITION LICENCE (http://www.mnz.co.nz/overseas.aspx);
I know everyone knows this but I though I'd post it anyway.

First time since 1977 at Taupo(we may even have a program stored away, think ive seen it, I'll dig out and scan for you oldies out there). Anyone know if the F4 & F5 GP's been held at the same meeting as a NZSBK/National before?

it is it has to be said, by far, the most expensive bucket race I've ever heard of. And not even a bucket meet, we are 3rd fiddle. Who are we subsidising? I mean for F4 & F5 it will rush you $270 notes, heck maybe $340 if you have to hire 2 transponders.

Did PMCC lose money on the last GP? Shirley Knot.

Im with F5DAVE at this stage,

I want to run F4 and F5 but am contemplating the cost,
any chance you could confirm the cost for both classes?

The other thing in the back of my mind is tracktime. How much would we get? roughly of course.

As for buckets at taupo, a few times a year if we were all smarter and attended pmcc summer series meets! :brick:

25th February 2012, 19:37
If it rains it would be even more in our favor but its a bit much to expect one bike/rider to always be on form, the odds are stacked against it anyway Av will most probably be to busy/commited to riding 600's at that meet to be able to do the F4 GP.

Ok well I’ve posted my entry so that the cheque (remember those) shouldn’t get banked in time to get me into trouble before some more money goes in. I guess I’m racing. Now all I have to hope is I get the piston for the 100 from US in time to rebore it (let the credit card worry about that) & put it back together :wacko:

Thanks Mike for the loan of the transponder, I probably couldn't have entered if not for that.

:weep: I filled out our entry forms, getting all ready for the big weekend, contacted MNZ to renew our race licences, went online and guess what......it will cost us $150 each, to renew our licences for three months. We have to pay for the whole year. Then on 6th June we have to pay another whole year.

So I'm afraid we will not be in this years TRRS. There is no day licence available for the GP.
We could handle the $170 entry fee but MNZ have screwed it for us.
I guess there's a few more bucket people out there who have the same problem.

If I thought MNZ would listen, I would :mad: but I dont think they give a toss.

That does blow a lot.... First time ever that Nz champ for F1 through to F5 could be named at one meeting; a real first for Nz motorcycle racing.

Maybe it's time for a Nz bucket inc/acc; whoms annual membership $$ could help with a reduction in gp cost??

Fair enough comments.
I know from experience there is a lot that goes into organising a meeting and you can NEVER NEVER NEVER please everyone. But from where I sit (5000 miles away) it looks to me that ,more often than not, when there is a hold up or time delay the buckets (that pay the same amount of entry $'s per head but often far out number a lot of the 'real bike' classes entry numbers) get reduced laps or practise sessions or get lumped in with some other class. Having that happen to you after paying the best part of $200 is a hard pill to swallow.
Not a dig at anyone or any club in particular, just what I see going on.

16th March 2012, 15:06

It'ss not having a dig, it's a case of we've had Taumaranui, Tokoroa, Te Puke and have Kaitoke next. We committed to the N.I rounds at the start and we'll do them. I haven't enjoyed any of the racing on the big tracks - HD and Taupo with my F4 bike. The F4 bike was usually playing up, except at the GP 6 months ago, when I just got intimidated to hell by everyone coming past and had no fun. I had a ball in F5. I've paid for F4 & F5 at Taupo last year and raced one class (not the club's problem), I've had the bike crap out so I couldn't race at Taupo the year before after paying for (again, not the club's problem), my bike wasn't really running well at HD and I hated it (and got told it was all in my head and to HTFU).

I've just not really had fun and therefore don't want to spend $ I can spend doing other away rounds for something I'm not really cut out for. My choice. We're having a ball with the N.I. rounds and if I decide I don't want to race, I'm still having a great time.

We've been on the organising end for years with dirt bike events, which have been harder work, as we've had to cut trails, stick arrows up, trim branches, paint stumps, put bunting up blah blah blah, we've had people bitch about cost and tell us we're making a killing. All the profits went back to the club to help with other events etc. We paid for our petrol, our food, our chainsaws, etc, and did it because we had fun doing it.

I don't begrudge any club making some profit from each event and hope they do, as it helps the sport, and I have no problem with volunteers being paid if that helps get them.

I am not slagging Nigel or the Pac Club off, it's just too much money at the moment for us, as we've chosen to do other things.

As to Str8 saying they'll be there next week - have I mentioned dearest, I hate you. You're encouraging Henk and I'm thinking it could be good fun, and I dunno, because I've got a shit load of things I should be doing, but it's all boring, and I spend enough time at work with boring stuff to do, that you're making it way tempting to say, shove fiscal responsibility (hey, they're big words that someone's trying to teach me), and be damned with it, but then the cat looks at me with his big grumpy eyes saying "for god's sake, can you stay home with me for a change".

I know why you're going and think it's way cool. I love the atmosphere at bucket events, otherwise Henk wouldn't have been able to get me into it. It's not that I enjoy racing lol (I enjoy riding my bike, just not into racing). It'll be a fun event, hanging out with Stroud, Choppa, Drew and all those other top riders ;)

Where did you see a prize money scale on the entry form? That would suggest there is no prize money. Transponders, you've borrowed one for the event so youve saved $70 there? And now no F5 youve saved yourself another $70 on entry there, thats a $140 saving which I havent been able to do let alone the new rear tyre, shop bill, springs in front & back, pads levers etc etc for my other bike, let alone starting on the bucket. It comes back to me choosing to do this as I want to do it.
I'll say it again, its cheaper entering this GP than what it was for any other NZ GP class down at Ruapuna earlier this year.

F5 Dave
17th March 2012, 08:00
ok lets talk Ruapuna. Its considerably more expensive than the battle of the buckets. Why? Why do we need to run alongside all the larger classes?

My concern is obviously that we don't get to race F5 GP this year. But also that it is the beginning of the end.

A lot of you guys won't remember seeing the Sidecars race. As soon as the GPs for them stopped then so effectively did the class.

F5 numbers have always been less than F4. Everyone wants that extra mind altering power or somesuch. But I've also had the best racing in F5. Back a whole bunch of years Fishe used to regularly race the 50 & with Hamish.L , Jay & myself we used to have a humdinger every race. In front of the all the F4 class I might add.

Just when F5 seem to be undergoing a resurgence with for example a bunch of bikes being fettled in Auckland. AndrewA with a 50 that needs to be finished, but I can't see people coping with an expensive race & then having to stump up $70 extra to race F5 as well.

Realistically (and with examples) people decided not to race either both classes or one.

Yes I was lucky & very grateful that Mike lent me his Transponder. Guess what?, that was the turning point for me having enough money to enter both classes.

Saved another $70, what by having the race cancelled? WTF kind of logic is that? Lets cancel all bucket meetings, think of how much we'd all save. We could take up macrame.

I had to google that, looks quite neat.

How many F5 bikes are in sheds?
Could a few be dragged along as loaners to get numbers. It's late to be thinking of this shit for this year but not impossible.
I can think of two decent RG50's that would be ready to go, I'll hit the owners up for a loan of them for next year. (Iv'e already written off this year due to finances, but someone else might be able to make a go of it...

I'm not disagreeing with you entirely but here is my take.

F5 is dying on a national level for a couple of reasons.
1. There are no reasonably recent easy build bikes available.
2. Roy's hill - A and B grades, Kaitoke - A, B, C grades. Unless you live in Auckland there is no real point going through the hassle of building one when you could get an FXR instead.

The recent mini resurgence up here is because we run F4, F5, B grade and F5 is a much better place to get started than B if you aren't comfortable being out on track with guys running times not far off mid pack A grade times.

Having said all that I have built one recently and have another in progress and the B grade race I rode last time we were in Wellington on Michelle's F5 bike was one of the most enjoyable races I've had on a bucket.

As an aside most of the bikes getting built up here are never going to give either you or the Diprose clan a run for your money, low power, low stress diesels seem to be the order of the day. I tried to get my hands on a two stroke project for F5 for about 12 months but they all seem to have disapeared.

Oh and for the record, I don't think $170 is out of the question expensive, what put us off was the cost of four entries across the two of us and the timing with Te Puke and Kaitoke being not far on either side of it.

Anyone got an idea if we are able to get on the track on friday? I thought I saw it somewhere here. Cost etc. I suppose it would be full tack? Good for getting the main jet dialed I suppose.

Nigel mentioned at this years GP prize giving that he intends to have as much track time for 2012 as was at 2011 GP.

OK so looking at the schedule, spread over two days we get;

Sat
two quals, one 7 lap race

Sun
one 7 lap race and the GP.

Saturday will be a mad rush, F4 back to back with F3/Pro Twin, there will be a few of us rushing to get back out.

With the inter-club thing can everyone get to race and just take the first 3 from each team in the top 10 for the result? That way at least everyone gets to ride that last race that wants to.

Last year we had to lend Pumba to a team that couldn't find enough players at the end of the day. And then they went on to beat us.
