CAMS like to start the day early and the gate was to open at 8AM so my plan was to get there at the time. It's a 250 km drive through the mountains from my place in Greymouth to Ruapuna. It was 5:28am when I headed out the driveway, I arrived at Ruapuna at 7:58am.
Man did my van use some juice to get there, Toyota Estima Supercharged 2.4lt petrol = slurp when giving it the sausage. $90 when I filled up to head home in the evening.

Anyway, the weather was great, apart from the wind blowing dust in your face, but at least it was a tail wind down the main straight.
Ended up having 2 practices and 5 races for the day. I'm a piss poor starter and get left behind on the main straight (must shed some pies one day) so not really a great fan of full track on the bucket. But in the last race of the day, which was a Bucket and 150/250 class combined I had a hoot trying to pass a young lass on a RG150 and Aaron on a FXR150 (who was parked up next to me in the pits, nice to meet you Aaron).

Thanks CAMS for putting on a great event.

Here's some links to a couple of vids

Cool. Wish I was there. My bucket build has been very slow to date. Hope it's ready for Methven :soon:

...good to see you over for the day Muzza...you riders must have been cooking in them leathers...good day of racing had by all, I hope...I was really happy to see a big field of 63 and 72 bikes there...the pre89 cup F2 race had to be my hi-light of the day...Scout Fletcher and Neil Batchelor's battle was pretty monumental...thanks to all riders for coming along and having a safe day of racing...CAMS gives away bugger all cups and trophies for racing but the Pre 89 Cup day is proving to be a really hotly contested day and one of our real good days...

Pre 89 F1 winner was Brent McConnell

F2 Scout Fletcher

F3 Scout Fletcher


...thanks for the entertainment...
