five racers:crazy:

Is that five racers per class or you only expecting five racers to turn up in total? Not many anyways lol (yeah, yeah, races, I know) ;)

I'm actually going to go out this time. I don't like Kaitoke very much so not sure how it'll go though! :pinch:

I really don't like it. It doesn't flow for me and I just can never seem to actually relax and enjoy it like I can any other track. Just my own head playing games. Only way to overcome it is to just do it I guess......
I have some on board video of glen on my bike, shows good consistent lines around the track. Let me know if you want a copy, I think it would help you.

It even has a little bit where he is following someone in white leathers riding your bike, with your bike pulling away a little on the back straight :pinch:

Would love to come but I've been talked into going dirtbike riding (largely by self), but I might swing by on the way back over the hill if its still going.

We'll be there - new slicks to try out for me, new brake setup for Tim and if we get the old Lifan of Tim's going, then that young Max guy will be sliding up the track on the Taiwanese road tyres (BT39's they ain't) ;)

Moooools

You could always put your old slicks on the Lifan! Pleeeeeeeease.
Actually I could beat Tim even on the chinky tyres.

Everybody ready for some wet weather racing?? Rain radar is showing a lot of rain clouds over the lower north island on Sunday, particularly from around mid day onwards. Put your wets on! I'm heading out to the track tomorrow to scrub in a new front slick (which might not even get used on Sunday with the rain) if anybody wants to come to the track and do some laps too?

ahh, Kiatoke has its own climate so don't be surprised if its different from wgtn, or even the hutt

Spent the arvo with B.Bee and we've managed to get my old RG50 back up and running. B.Bee took it for a test ride and she managed to all the right things, enough to get her bearings. All good to go.

Can't say I had the best day ever today but it wasn't the worst..... learn't a few things and managed to beat AJ and Max in one race and then promptly ran over my foot and 'got my knee down' without crashing (kind of) in the next :facepalm:

Just got to grow some balls, hopefully in time for the next round...
