Does someone have a non-screwed rear slick I could buy to race this weekend? Maybe that Dunlop you were selling Dave? Don't know if I will have the money for it so I am kinda praying for rain. At least I have wets (which are also fairly rooted)

What did I want for it? $30 I think, you can come grab it & pay me in a meeting or two. I paid $70 for it a coupe of years ago & never fitted it. Not sure if I i'll make it this sunday.

yes I bought my set for the 50 off him 4 weeks back, he's a good egg, but they won't be $30 deferred payment. That may cover the freight. I just met him at the ferry, but has to coincide with him coming up. my cell is vod 711 203 if you do need it.

awsome day, great to watch.
someday i'll get a bucket, for now i'll stick to learning to ride and take pics on the side line with my phone :facepalm:

heres a couple of the pics i took

if for no other reason, this next rider is an excellent reason to try buckets. she started riding in november, shes not very tall and she takes to the track like its home. i dont know her name but i do know she couldn't stop smiling when talking about her races.

Thanks again for putting on a great series Fishie.

Could not have asked for better weather for the final round.
I managed to keep ahead of those I needed to to get up to second for B :rockon:

Well done Hamish for taking our A grade, and seriously well done Rogan for B grade and King of Kaitoke. You have gotten super quick over the series.

Video footage of the B grade 'fun race' carnage :facepalm: coming soon.

Fish you have put a lot of work into this series, good on ya. Really great to see so many bikes showing up! It's also amazing at how good the prizes are. One thing I want to know is, when is this photo of you powersliding your Loncin being put up? That photo looks mint.

There is a statement you don't see very often. Power sliding a what now?

A pleasure to watch.

Thanks Fishie And Nigel massive effort and much appreciated. Was a great days racing for me. Bike didn't miss a beat and managed to get on top of my tire shredding problem and put in some good results.

Till next time.

It was at my flag point. From where I was it looked like someone or 2 went down and then everyone else decided to pile on in and join the party.

Yep, I was in lucky to be behind it all.

hmurphy

15th April 2012, 21:10

Yeah he wasn't doing too good either. He has concussion for sure. Stefan is his name I think. He asked me the same question at LEAST 5 times and kept forgetting what I told him. "What happened?", "you got run over after someone took you out". "Oh ok, what happened?", "someone crashed, you got taken out". "Oh my arm hurts. What happened?". "Mate I hope you're not driving home".

Nah Bert was all good. Stefan (new guy) on the fxr with orange frame (race number 2) was not in the best condition after it. Hope he is ok now. He was getting a lift home thankfully. I hope he comes back! That was a hard welcome to bucket racing.

Bert

15th April 2012, 21:50

At lease I got a good start!

nothing like a group hung to make to feel welcome.

The GPR100 lunching ramp held together well; nothing too major.

Hope everyone is feeling alright.

Big Thanks to the Welly Crew (Fishie most importantly for a great event) for having us down. Great day and good to catchup with all of you.

Sidenote: someone might want to post up where to park for newbies/first times; those KArt boys are really really aggressive when it comes to having their parks my mistake...
:angry2::angry2: not really signs of high intellect; even with a clam apology from us...

Awesome phototage Nigel & props for loading up asap. Trust you're not to banged up Mihi? and Stephan will be ok too?

Thanks to Fish for organizing such a great series. Amy had a ball and the little I got to saw of her riding all that coaching and support she is getting is paying off well (thanks all). I had a blast yesterday and felt like I was getting back my mojo clocking in regular 47s. paying for it today though, my limbs feel like their full of lead.

True but its quite obvious in the video. Was fun winding Hamish up in the pits. One of the Kart guys was talking disqualification. There was no advantage gained. After the jump he hesitated then started again and by that time we were all rolling. He still won by quite a margin.

hmurphy

19th April 2012, 18:25

Haha nice pic. I'm pretty sure I stopped again though. And then Andrew ended up in front of me for a brief moment at the start. I'm such a cheater, I can't help it. Sorry guys.

Yeah, without lights or the guy still with the flag up and you over the line, it's called a holeshot. Perhaps you had jumped and you were just rolling backwards when the pic was taken?

19th April 2012, 18:39

Yes it was a pitty Hamish had to resort to jumping the start to win the series. I was going to blow him away but after seeing his jump start I just couldnt get into it. No that is crap (except the jump start) Hamish Rich and Fish rode very well on the day. I didnt ride so well. Slill learning! Good day out.

Haha well I did jump it (not very well though!) and Fish got ahead of me still! Then my 25% more HP kicked in haha. It looks like I should be banned from racing for 3 months after that stunt. I would like to formally apologize to all of my sponsors and to all of my fans. Neither of which exist. It wont happen again. Thank you.

BTW, you guys are NUTS!!!!:wings:

Hahaha might have to get a brand 'spanking' new pair, pre stuffed with socks.

Henk.... I am gutted I have finally been caught out on video. Noone has caught me cutting the track just before chicago yet. Straight down the grass and into the corner by pit lane. Glad that hasn't been caught on camera, I'll keep doing that til then.

Yes well you would not have been the first. We all remember Andrews cheating grass lines. I am sure he only stopped after being court on camera.

20th April 2012, 12:33

Haha well I did jump it (not very well though!). Thank you.

Nice work, you'd be right at home up here. We watch Johns body movement (rather than the flag), theres a precise point when you can jump the start once you see he's committed to dropping the flag. (he looks down as he does it) :shutup:
