Awesome
Love the Methvern races.
Only down side last year was the speakers/pa system was turned to full noise, we tried walking around the track to get away from the noise but there was no escaping them, could hardly hear the bikes race, ended going home early with a ringing in my ear.:blink:
Still be giong this year though just take ear plugs.

SuperTourerV8's at Ruapuna.



A few wheels too many for my liking.

Why? Do you run out of fingers to count on or something.
Since you're implying that you won't be going we'll both have a good day

Will be there Neil.......... you guys always put on a good show. Will always have my record of first person to "bin it" at Metven races..sorry.
Each to their own..... but after street racing at Methven watching V8 diesels (or whatever name they call themselves now) would not do it for me either.

.come and say hello...(thats you, Smokeu, I,ll bend your ear and try and get you on a race track...I have a Bucket hanging around with your name on it)....

I've never ridden a bucket but I'm keen to give it a go. Looks like a hell of a lot of fun. I'm taking my GSXR600 to Ruapuna later this month for a rider training course so hopefully I'll know what I'm doing after that.
