Good stuff. Does that mean you will be going faster or slower?

I will be there.

[F5 Dave]

Yup i'll be there for sure, but on the 50, still a lottt to go on the next 100 engine.

[hmurphy]

Good stuff. Does that mean you will be going faster or slower?

I will be there.

More dangerous would be a good guess. Half asleep T-bone passes n what not.

[F5 Dave]

Nice 'conditioning' Hamish. King Kenny would be proud of you.

[Henk]

Is hamish's approach not part of everybody's training regime?

[crazy man]

hopefully will make it there. l have 3 other guys that want to get into now .. so need to get some more buckets out the shed and get them going. maybe next time for them. it maybe like the old days turning up with 8 bikes on the trailer lol

[all4A50s]

Weather willing Amy and I will be there

[John_H]

It will be my first bucket race, on my bike which I've never ridden before and now forecast showers.....could be interesting!

[grantnz]

no................................


So whats the program looking like? Need to run in my new moata before giving it some snot.

[grantnz]

No mention of port, so maybe not a proper bucket athlete..

[Kendog]

Can't make this one, will be away for the weekend.
Have fun.

Cheers for another great day racing. Fish you need some sort of prize too mate, you do too much organising for everyone. It's really appreciated.

I can honestly say I had the most fun of the day in the last race I did which was in B grade. Cameron Page took my bike for a spin and I took his motard. That thing was sliding EVERYWHERE!! FANTASTIC! I have never had so many slides in my life. Almost every corner every lap. Bugger all traction in the front and in the rear but super super predictable and easy to correct mid slide. I NEED a bike like this for B grade so I can race both A and B. Too much fun.

[John_H]

This was my first day out at buckets and I was really impressed with the way it was organised. Thanks Fish, great job. Looking forward to the next!

[crazy man]

agree. fish your da man ! had a grate day racing

[GirrlRacer]

+1 was a really well run day and had HEAPS of fun ! Thanks Fish

[andrew a]

Hi all sorry Caleb and I didnt make it yesterday. Good day to paint the houes though. Almost finished the outside!

[F5 Dave]

Fantastic day racing & I loved the format with the handicap on the starts. It made the rush for the first corner less frantic & the emphasis on fun racing, which suited the 50 as it gets tarred on the starts.

Thanks Fishe.


oh yeah by he last race I was marshalling & touched the track that was in teh shade for quite some time. It was cold. the metal of the flag point was too cold to touch for any time. That is why you were sliding I bet Hamish. I touched the Honda's tyres on the way past & they weren't really warm.

[richban]

Suck day for me. Should not have been riding with my bunged up ribs. Feeling the pain today. Was great to see so many new faces. I have a little video I will post tonight. Few dodgy maneuvers ending with a little sit down for me.

[hmurphy]

Didn't know you crashed rich. Or is the crash from another meeting?

[all4A50s]

Well feel like someone yanked my arms off at the neck after carrying 20 kg sack of potatoes in each arm for a day and loved earning every single bit of it yesterday. Thought I would have had to drag Amy away in chains as she would have kept going out until they locked the gate.

Much thanks Fish for a great day.

[richban]

Yep had not much rear grip.

Unlucky Rich. Good stuff Malcolm for putting up a fight!

[Tard]

Awesome fine winter day after a 1 deg. start!

Good call on sticking to reverse handicap grids all day Fish, heaps of fun and good to see no pile-ups :shit:....note for Henk....21 starters on the B-Grade grid :yes: Decided to park up and flag after taking myself out haha, down in the last 3 meetings in a row for me!

I think I'll pass on the next meeting;)

[Clivoris]

What they said. Another beautiful Kaitoke day with some fun racing. Thanks Fish.

We had a really healthy B grade grid yesterday as well, along with 15 in F4 and half a dozen in F5.
Also two sidecars for the first time in a fair old while.
If it makes you feel any better I hit the deck a couple of times as well.
