[wildman]

We'll be there on saturday with sidecar, looking forward to finally getting a run in it. Have ditched the Honda motor for now so it be done on power but at least it'll be running:banana::banana:

[Henk]

Practice this Sunday, we'll be taking ours out for a shakedown.

[Gazzza]

I'll be there (transport dependent), not sure if my regular swinger is able to make it so any one keen to have a go on the side grab me on the day.

Can't make practice on sunday training church custodians and chair would be a bit noisey, haven't finished exhaust on it yet.

[Moooools]

So who is in need of a 2Hr partner? I can offer a fast bike(TZR/FXR cross with the ZXR forks etc. If you know it you know it) and a reasonable A grade rider rider, although the geometry takes a little bit of getting used to. Might be good to get some practice in on it (this sunday is it?).
Anybody?

You could try my partner from last year (we finished 3rd). Arronduke on kiwibiker.

As I hinted in another thread Nick Cain (F4GP'12) moved to Auckers & works at Topmaq, but would need some warning to get his leathers shipped up to him.


yeah Henk likes posting threads about race meets & not putting dates on the title:crazy:. Well except the other thread for the 11th, that one is obvious.

We'll forgive you cause you're old but everyone knows that this is the first round of the NI Series starting 24 and 25 Nov! ;)

Thanks for the vote of confidence. Dave is obviously out of touch, out of the loop and too lazy to read the attached sup regs that have the date clearly stated in them.

Lets pick on Dave!!!! :nya:

[F5 Dave]

MUM! They're pik'in on me.:(

[Bert]

The question is where's the beer & BBQ on sat night????

[Henk]

We're toying with the idea of dragging the BBQ at the track out of the shed on Saturday once the racing is over since people will spread all over the place after that. There is a meat shop just around the corner that we are going to check out this weekend and supermarkets not too far away. Thoughts anyone?

[Dutchee]

The question is where's the beer & BBQ on sat night????
are you coming up then?

[CM2005]

I'm keen to Co-ride if someone needs one - Also Henk is the Club Bike availiable? I still havent bought it a chain either mate!

[Henk]

John still has the club bike as far as I'm aware. He also has the chain that we gave him on your behalf. Rock up anyway, there are usually one or two people looking for a partner on the day.

[gav]

I'm with Dave, errr , I mean I agree with Dave, a date and ohhhh maybe a VENUE would've been handy! :Oops:

[Henk]

OK for those that are still unclear (and too lazy to read first three lines ofthe attached sup regs :)) the venue is the Mt Wellington Kart track at 39 Tainui Rd mt Wellington. Round one of the north island series is on the 24th of November, the two hour is on the 25th of November.

Happy now?

[Str8 Jacket]

Happy now?

Someone need a hug?

[Henk]

Someone need a hug?

Nah I'm good

[gav]

Fixed it for ya ... ;)

[SHELRACING]

Hi guys, Granma here from Shelracing. I love reading your posts, it has me laughing every time.:yes:

We have booked our accommodation at the Avondale Motor Park.
We are coming up Friday night and will be there Sat morning and Sunday.

A BBQ after racing sounds damn good Henk.

Thank you for posting the itinerary for the weekend. I dont suppose you have any costs for both days?

[Henk]

Will have more details on costs etc on Thursday night. Wild stab in the dark the sat BBQ will be a we supply the BBQ you bring something to throw on it sort of deal. We had a look at the butchers shop just around the corner from the track, not all that inspiring to be honest. Might have to send someone on a grocery run to countdown or packnsave as a last resort.

[SHELRACING]

Thanks Henk. I will make heaps of meat patties and throw them in the freezer. Will bring them to the track on Sat.

[Henk]

OK so here are the details as of tonight

Entry costs. $30 per rider, $20 transponder hire per rider or bike for the two hour if sharing.

If you sign up on Saturday the entry fee covers you for the weekend. If two people are sharing a bike on Saturday with one in B grade and one in A you'll need a transponder each, it gets horribly confusing in the lap timing shed otherwise. We'll take names to make sure you don't pay twice and will make a note in your licence on Saturday, if you get a day licence you'll need your copy as a receipt for Sunday. We will take the transponders back over night.

We'll drag out the BBQ after racing on Saturday as a BYO food and drink affair so if you want to eat something drag it along.


Try and get there and signed on before briefing because late entries become a monumental pain in the arse as we have to track down the relevant people and run back and forth to lap scoring to try and get late entries into the computer while timing system is running and it makes things interesting at best.

That's about all I can think of so if if anyone has questions fire away.

[Henk]

Oh yeah, the order on Sunday has been slightly changed. Now it will run B grade Le mans practice start, two hour practice start, B grade 40 lap endurance.
Everything else stays the same but this way people have a chance to fix their bikes if they go down trying to win the practice.

[cotswold]

Any point bringing an F5 this weekend?

[crazy man]

dont know if l want to were my bike out in 2 hour of racing

[jasonu]

Go on man give it a go. Me and Darrin Gossamer nearly won it on his RG50, but for a fucking flat tire and 8 lost laps changing the rear wheel...

[crazy man]

[Henk]

Two riders, each to do a minimum of 55 minutes. This is to stop some fast bastard riding pretty much the whole race no mates and then sticking someone else on it for the last five minutes.

Cotswold, bring your F5 that way you won't have to go looking for your excuse book when we stomp you into submission.

Sounds like fighting talk,:bash:
I was going to bring an extra bike, the F5 but if there is no race for it I will leave it at home

[Dutchee]

Any point bringing an F5 this weekend?

yeah. Not sure what bike I will be riding so taking the 100 and 150. No race for F5 only though, so as b-grade Tim, leave it at home.

[Henk]

As B grade Tim he should ride it.

[cotswold]

Nah I have the beast again for this weekend and it's a bit quicker than the 50, so the 50 stays at home.

[ac3_snow]

Your name may be b grade tim, but I don't think that gives you automatic entry into the b grade 40 lapper, everyone including you, knows your far to fast for that! :bleh:

bottle of red?

[cotswold]

It's the mrs that has trouble sleeping zzzzzzzzzzzzz, I will go in which ever class I qualify for on the Saturday, hopefully A grade, just have to learn how to get the beast out of a couple of corners and I'm sorted.

Have a great trip

I am not as young as I used to be........... Is there an over 50's class??

[Dutchee]

Tim, Tim, Tim, an example of a b grade rider is moi. I came second last year in the b grade race, and most people were only lapped once. You would lap us all how many times in 40 laps? You may be old, but you have not reverted to b grade. HTFU, and behave.

:whistle: this coming from the man i can't beat in B grade :brick:

[chrisc]

Just checked metservice 7 day rain forecast and isobars and looks like we're in for a dry weekend of racing!*:banana:

*provided they don't radically change the forecast

[F5 Dave]

Forecast for Auckland 5 days out? :killingme:killingme:killingme:killingme:killingme :killingme


:lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:





good one.

[Henk]

Come on Dave, the weather up here isn't that changeable. I've only once changed wheels five times in one day.

[F5 Dave]

Think the last 2hr I did up there it was bright & sunny at the start of the day, when we left 1/2 way through race having huddled in the tech shed - bike crashed to bits on 3rd attempt we almost didn't make it out of mt wgtn area. A depression in the road & blocked drains from the deluge created a ford up to the wheel arches on the van.

I've spent enough time in Auckland in the last 25 years to know to take wet weather gear out on the bike.

[Str8 Jacket]

Crikey, hope we do actually get to Auckland!

[F5 Dave]

Don't worry, they'll just take the other way around, Good thing about this planet; always two ways to get anywhere.:msn-wink:

more of a fart than an eruption... enough to get everyone running around like headless chickens.

[seymour14]

Team GPR is flying me in (just like Valentino Rossi), if Tongariro erupts, I may feel like I've smoked 10 000 cigerettes by the time I get in! Do I get dispensation for being smoke damaged?:laugh:

No.
If we go down that road we'll have the field wanting dispensation for being brain damaged, myself included.

Ha, Mal would win that hands down! ;)

Just because he's with you, doesn't mean others aren't equally or more so mentally challenged.

You must spread some rep before giving it to Dutchee again.

Got that sidecar finished yet? Two and a half days to kick off.

[SHELRACING]

Well we live under the mountain and all we have done is get some water bottles filled. Dont much like the taste of sulphur in the water supply.
We have been smelling sulphur for quite a while down here. Nobody here goes into panick mode, just cruise along as usual.
Had a few earthquakes lately but nothing more than shaking the house.
Well we have everything packed up and ready. Just have to pick up Steve from work tomorrow night and we on our way.
Got the patties made for the BBQ too.

Must say, I am really looking forward to this weekend. :woohoo:

[Pumba]

Bet you already know the answer to that:facepalm:

[Henk]

Bet you already know the answer to that:facepalm:

No but it will be because I'm working every waking hour that I can spare?

[Tengu]

Is there going to be some extended parking area's for the 2hr weekend ?, it gets pretty choked up in the pits area there with all those vans & trailers

[F5 Dave]

What do you suggest? Do we ask the nice container people to stack their stock a little further away?


Let me know how that goes.

[Moooools]

Let me know how that goes.

How about you ask the nice container people to nicely stack your cars and trailers 3 or 4 high? I will supply some ladders.

[Henk]

Plenty of room to shift cars and trailers onto the bank if we have. Hasn't been an issue the past three years though

[Henk]

The BBQ at the end of the day seemed to be quite a success. Enough that we have decided to do it again on Sunday. If you feel like sticking around on Sunday for a few beers and shit talk, bring along something to throw on the barbie and have dinner at the track.

[SHELRACING]

:first: What a fantastic weekend!!!!!!!! Grateful thanks to all the organisers, the committee, all the people who flag marshalled, the crash spotters in the center grass area, the BBQ, Cully for the beers after racing, Damian for the photo's, and the ladies who raced, :2thumbsup.

What great value for the money too. I was shattered after Saturday and so was Steve, weren't sure we could complete Sunday. LOL We are so happy that we managed to finish the 2 hr and cant believe we rode 166 laps. :clap:

We are definitely booked in for next year!!!!!!

[kiwicam]

great to see the photos
great to hear about the bbq
great to hear that someone did 166 laps

what would be really great for anybody who was on the other side of the world in frickin china

would be to know the results!

good to see the buckets getting faster and almost presentable btw
