You getting this Dave? Ya could do a lot worse than this skinny coont!

I'll definitely keep it in mind :yes: but the swinger i have now is pretty comitted to the cause :2thumbsup

[sharky]

I don't see any mention of the NZ Post Classic GP titles being up for grabs - if that is the case, then is a Championship license not required?

[Drew]

I'll definitely keep it in mind :yes: but the swinger i have now is pretty comitted to the cause :2thumbsupSame dude I took for a hoon?

Comitment was no problem from what I could gather. I wasn't fucking around when we were out.

[Billy]

I don't see any mention of the NZ Post Classic GP titles being up for grabs - if that is the case, then is a Championship license not required?

No,

Its a non championship event,Therefore the club licence should suffice,Don't hesitate to contact me if your advised otherwise.

[Danger Dave]

So, (Peter) when will the GP be held then?

[Voltaire]

The Pre 72 Rule cutoff is October 1972, but models that go unchanged past that , eg given in rules is a CB 750 are eligible.

Would that mean that a 75 Norton Commando 850 would be allowed to run in pre 72?

The Oct 72 seems pretty clear...the exceptions are vague....:scratch:

[scrivy]

Mainly right hand track dickhead

Well yeah, there is that, but lefts seem to have you fucked......

Cool. So someone should opt for Jimmy then. Save themselves the effort of replacing a clutch pack after the race.

[Peter Smith]

So, (Peter) when will the GP be held then?

I've asked the committee the same question, waiting for a reply.

[racer40]

Hi Guys, not sure if Kevin has got back to you yet, But the reasoning behind it is that for a MNZ championship ( ie GP or TT ) then you have to have a championship licence, at an extra $100 (last year) and not enough wanted to do that, same as the classics, they wont be running their TTs at this event, there will still be some feature races of some sort.

[racer40]

Robbie Phillis & Mal Campbell now confirmed to come and race, also 13 sidecars, with another trying to make his own way here as containers full, still 2 reserves waiting as well. 24 solos was the last figure i heard. So far just over 20 entries received from Kiwis, with 4 of them sidecars

[jellywrestler]

I've been to a lot of bike races over the years the Barry Sheene Memorial at Hampton Downs is one that's on the move and is one that's going to get better with time. I'll be there be warned.

[racer40]

As of last nights meeting there are now 68 bikes entered, that does not include any of the Aussies of which there are now 29 solos coming in the containers ( i believe another Aussie has brought a NZ bike for the event & we find out next week re Cam Donald ) 11 Aus sidecars are racing in the modern class which means 17 so far in that class & 2 more Aussies on period 4 bikes will race in the post classic/ classic sidecar class. And yes our own Kiwi biker scribe Choppa has entered on a ..... I will leave that to him.

[codgyoleracer]

No worries Spud, just drop the 749 off to me, and i will begin extensive track testing on it before i decide what to do with it. (it could take a while......)

Need a little help here. Gotta get my entry in today obviously, who do I call/email to try and achieve this?

Contact Chris at Motomail, He is looking after all the entrys.

[racer40]

No Chris at motomail not handling entries this year, Russell from NZPCRA is, but dont worry Drew just send it now, we are giving a couple of days grace. As of Thurs nite 196 entries received with most classes in the 20s, I think Pre 89 was biggest with 31 so far, Modern sidecars smallest with 15, although i know of at least another 4 Aussies to go on that list, as well as approx 6 kiwis

[Drew]

Sent it away and paid yesterday.

[oyster]

Looking at entry form, classes 1 - 10. All defined by MNZ gen rules and supp rules.
Easy for 3,7,8,9,10.
Correct me but I can't find the other rules in the MNZ rulebook or supp rules in the entry form. I can find "modified", and "clubman" but all the others PC2,F3, PW etc etc I can't find.
If the organisers forgot to include some supp rules, where do I find them now? And will they be valid now the permit is signed off/entries are out?

[malcy25]

Oyster, without getting into the semantics of rules that are not in the MNZ rule book those classes are the NZCMRR's own club level classes. Details should be here

http://www.nzcmrr.com/events/rules

[racer40]

As of last night 231 entries received, with more still to come. Cameron Donald is now a starter, but it looks like Rob Phillis is out as his bike owner has pulled the plug, he is still looking for a ride on something if anyone is offering.

Thats got to be the biggest show of 'Chairs' for years. Does it not ???

Has anybody worked out why, prize money ? etc etc. Nothing to do with national points either, that's great.

Transtasman challenge, lots of new teams getting out there, resurgence of enthusiasm.

Don't even know if there is prize money.

[racer40]

No prizemoney. but as Drew says Transtasman so inc quite a few Aussie mates. Also Rd 1 of Oceania sidecar series.

Hell yes, he wasn't known as "Wally go bananas" for nothing!

Nearly 300 bikes Sue, you better hold someones hand or you might get lost in the crowd........ :-)

If l get lost just look in the Aussie's garage.........no doubt l will be in there freshening up on my Lingo. :)

freshing up on my Lingo. :):facepalm:That'd be. "Freshening up on my lingo".

Perhaps you could find an English pit shed instead?

[Duke girl]

:bleh::nono::bleh::nono: enough said.

[racer40]

Hi Guys & girls ( Sue )
Just to let you know 288 entries now confirmed, would have been nearly 300 but have had a few pull out after a couple of offs at Auck club day & the like. The Aussie container is on the water with 11 sidecars & 25 solos.

[Peter Smith]

Fine weather... fine weather.... please fine weather......

[ellipsis]

...I'll bring all my wet weather gear, galoshes and all...that may keep the big blue cloud hanging around...

[Duke girl]

still a great number of entries Chris and as long as the weather is kind to all those Riders Racing for the weekend it's going to be 1 Hell of a Fantastic Race Meeting. :)

Anyone you want cause no one is going to listen anyway

[nodrog]

Anyone you want cause no one is going to listen anyway

shutup wayne!

[Big Dave]

Nope. Drew is incorrect. Freshening up 'on' my lingo would mean putting your cognisance of the Australian idiom in some sort of container, mounting it and applying toiletries.

Freshening up one's lingo is to reacquaint oneself with the implementation of 'strine' so as not to cause a socially uncomfortable happenstance.

And then some of us speak England.

[Voltaire]

Weather looking good for next weekend? or do I need plastic bags over my socks like last year...?
Got a covered pit this year :woohoo:

Great day today! Great racing and nobody hurt. Had a shower in the morning, then fined up to be hot and sunny the rest of the day.

What a great weekends racing. Shame about the parade ending, some people will never listen. Spyda as commentator was great. His commentary adds a lot of humour as well as the knowledge he has of the various riders and the bikes certainly keeps the spectators up with whats going on.

I think that's probably just a list of the fastest lap times for the riders listed. Nice to see the see that the Matchy is faster than Gordy's 800/1060/1288cc BMW :motu::yes: Yeah that John character is a bit elusive ;)

I was riding the Nodetails, its an obscure German bike.....

No the live timing said the Oz crew Pym? had done a 1.11 in the same race Lovell started from the pits, so I couldn't understand why Lovell caught them so fast, Gordy and Steve sometimes didn't show until they'd done a lap or two, pretty hard on gear those two, how many rebuilds did it get?

Only one.....It had a partial siezure on the left piston so they took the complete top end off and put a standard 980 barrel on with standard in-port head so it ended up looking like last year...all lop-sided :facepalm: I said it looked like a sidevalve :nya:

LOL, its Steves fault, he wasn't holding the carb on properly.

Never done it myself....but yep, blame the swinger...it's always their fault...;):nya:

different carb this time

Ran this on my phone on the weekend, https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.racechrono.app
It maps the track and shows you the speed around the whole track.

The old BMW managed 166KMPH, # 50 Honda 1000 sidecar 189kmph.
It does lap timing too.
Chews thru the battery though.

It doesn't, still not sure why transponders aren't used since we have a good service for that and Marktime's lap times are comically inaccurate. The results work well, and the lap progression chart they produce is great, but the laptimes should be taken with a large pinch of salt.

wheres all the photos at?

Yeah I'll say! In the feature race the results say I only completed 2 laps then DNF when I actually completed all 6. WTF - haha.

I met him for the first time too, and I escaped relatively unscathed... :sweatdrop

I was quite impressed with the outfit, he's done some serious work on it. It goes like the proverbial off the line! He just needs Popeye's arms for the steering and a wee bit of work on the braking system and he'll be right up there. ;)

...this is one sidecar class coming around on their sighting lap...it was so cool to see them just keep on coming over the brow of the hill...never got to point the camera at them racing...it was far too exciting to fuck round filming them...

Nice to meet you, too! You both did really well. The old bus just keeps on chugging and keeps on being competitive against bigger rigs! Apart from one slight incident where Tracey decided to do a bit of plowing, you were nice and tidy. :niceone:

As a swinger I would love to say ... "yep Tracey went off-roading, it was her fault". Unfortunately it was all me, never have I been involved in such close racing and I wasn't keen to rub shoulders with a sidecar and so I moved my upper body to avoid getting my shoulder sideswiped, but moved a bit too much taking too much weight off that left side . Lesson learnt :D
