Ditto, should be perfect timing for the 'top secret' things to be put in to action!

I'm coming up for the weekend to watch/ say hi/ drink piss! :-)

I'm coming up for the weekend to watch/ say hi/ drink piss! :-)

Henk told me, hoping I. Would confirm or not as to whether I am going, but he knows my reasons. I will be deciding next week hopefully what I am doing, and figure I might go play in Jase's yard if I do come. Can bring both metal detectors if you are keen to keep away from the track, too :) (shhhh, don't tell Jase, haven't asked him yet lol)

[koba]

So, can we confirm this is happening, it's been all a bit low key, I'm worries no one will show up.
Or that I will show up and there will be no racing and I'll have to get drunk instead.

[Henk]

As far as I know they are waiting on the permit. Not on the MNZ website as issued yet but in the racing with the PAC club Facebook group it's a go.
We need to scrape together interested folk from wherever at some stage and have a chat about the shape of next years NI series at some stage before the beer starts to flow.

Im keen 👍 trying to finish my trailer before than

The Raukawa TT

Track length to be decided by the HB Regional Council.........................shorter if the fire ban isn't off and my burn pile is still there

[Henk]

Sounds like we all have a factory ride in the Ruakawa GP courtesy of Koba.
Probably best we do that before the beer starts to flow.

TY80 here too, a GT50 with a TS185 engine as well. Could get all flash and put the Qstartz gps on it and proper lap times and speeds, g force ect

Could do a 6 or 8 lap session with fastest lap for the results. Sort of like Top Gears "Star in a reasonably priced car" Tyler and I will design the track this weekend, grass needs a mow so can do the track with the mower on its lowest setting. It will have a elevation change and a hairpin

[Pumba]

..... grass needs a mow so can do the track with the mower on its lowest setting.......

I call bullshit. No one has an grass at the moment. Sure as hell not anyone in the HB

Forgot about the 50cc scooter thing, could race that, or use it for a drinks trolley

[Str8 Jacket]

haha, a lil birdie tells me that it's Warwicks b-day easter weekend...... ;)

Is he staying at your Jase?

[RDjase]

Yep ;-)

Should I get some candles?

Stolen from Facebook

Stephen Bennett: I spoke to MNZ yesterday. They are processing the Permit and all is well. Practice from 12 on Saturday until around 3-4pm. Racing Sunday from 10am until around 3-4pm. NO engines before start times. Track protection must conform to regulation P6795/2014a as outlined in my head. Bikes that make too much noise will be shut down and sent home (at this point you would have paid and there will be no refund... ha!). Steve

On the buckets with slicks............................maybe wets would be better for grass track.......................

I have to admit that I am not sure letting Henk go on his own or with kamil is a good idea, but he is under the thumb and been told as to what is what and that I want some time at home as well.

I have also told him that riding bikes with guns (and beer) is not on, and if he does, I will hitch home.

Might want to check that weather again, looks like the rain has scarpered...:headbang:

[Henk]

I don't know why everyone gets so obsessed by the weather.
We go, there is weather, we race.
Except for that one time that there were ducks on track.

I prefer the wet, occasionally I slide off the track and don't get run over...:crazy:

[koba]

You used to be cool man....

Is it cool that I increased the compression from about 8:1 to 13.8:1?

It's pinking a little...

[RDjase]

Anyone got a spare bucket for Tyler to race?

Can swap some track day time on the RS125 for borrowing one

[chrisc]

How about we just trade? Fxr for RS is a pretty good deal on your behalf...:Pokey:

But really, I don't mind racing b grade and Tyler can run my fxr is a grade. It's certainly not perfect but it's a running bike. I will get trodden on at the back of a grade anyway

Top man !

What day are you heading here

The Raukawa TT is off.........................really wet in my yard/workshop paddock, just trying to turn my ute around off the drive was very slippery. Don't want to lose the grass that's only started growing again


Can do some trials stuff on the GasGas instead for Saturdays entertainment, and light the brazier, and beers

[chrisc]

Saturday morning

[RDjase]

Saturday morning

The weather forecast is good for Saturday and Sunday, this wet windy stuff will be gone by tomorrow

[Henk]

We'll meet you at the track Saturday. Do I need a tent or can We steal a bed?

[Farmaken]

Is anyone bringing F5 bikes for a laugh ??

[Henk]

I'm bringing Michelle's but she may not bother riding it.

[RDjase]

There is room inside, the sleepout, the outside room, spare room. just bring camping matress, sleeping bags etc. I will light the fire so the wet cylinder heats up for more showers. There are some beds spare, and definatly no tents needed

And spare fridge lol

[stivernz]

Showers are clearing - the sun is starting to make its way thru the cloud. :msn-wink::msn-wink: Lets go racing.

[mr bucketracer]

ready to rock see you all tomorrow

[Henk]

We're loaded up ready to leave at some cow milking hour of the morning.

[Farmaken]

See you all there, drive safe !!:Police:

[chrisc]

We're loaded up ready to leave at some cow milking hour of the morning.

Same here, thinking 4.30 from the North Shore or somewhere around there. Watching Austin Moto3 to get me psyched up

[Henk]

We're going to hit the road 5:30 6ish

[chrisc]

From the Pacific Motorcycle Club facebook page:

"Hello all buckets racers.........
The Permit has been delivered.
The weather is looking good for Saturday and Sunday so be there.
Practice from 12 on Saturday until around 3-4pm. Racing Sunday from 10am until around 3-4pm. NO engines before start times. Track protection must conform to regulation.
We will be noise testing over both days. Bikes that make too much noise will be shut down and sent home, this WILL be applied sternly on Sunday.
Looking forward to a good meeting.
Cheers
Brent
PMCC
Club President 8765823 0210474322"

5 1/2 hours from here so probably makes more sense to leave around 5 and arrive around 10.30 for us. Either way, catch you down there!

Exciting racing, three F4 races, three F4 winners.

Took my rear camera off to find it has developed a fault, so nothing from me there, better news on the hand camera and Regan and Scott's cameras, so someone will be posting those up in the near future.

Cheers to the Pacific Club, really professional effort, well run event.

Let us know if there is more to come or not, (Edgecombe?).

Happy tail end of Easter folks.

:clap:

[RDjase]

It was a fun weekend, I am sure I can fit more bucketeers at my place.................20 plus next time :yes:

And Tyler and I will have our own buckets finished,

[mr bucketracer]

thanks again jase , was a good night !!

[Rick 52]

Very enjoyable weekend, Thanks to the PMCC for running a great meeting and to the Bennett house for putting us all up, I hope we can do it all again next year.
The racing was very close with Scott and myself level on points, qualifying was perfect for me with pole knowing how fast and determined Scott and Reagan are off the start, turn one was exciting in all three races, Scott made a big move into turn three on about the second lap and I wasn't fast enough to get back past in race one, Race two was crazy for the first lap and I managed to get past Reagan to lead to the flag with Scott at my heels, So Still level on points,Race three and I managed to get to the front and made a gap but I found a false neutral into the fast turn three and ran wide not able to find a gear until I had scrubbed some speed off, Scott jumped past me and made a run, after a few laps I managed to catch up to the back but was thinking my only chance would be a lapped rider opportunity but with a handful of laps to go Scotts bike broke down ..I was gutted, so looking forward to a last lap battle, I was struggling to find motivation and slowed until I noticed Henks bike with Tyler riding out of his skin, he soon passed me and I got on his tail but we didn't have enough laps to battle it out, Congratulations to Reagan on his double NI championships, thanks again to everybody involved especially Brian and Mel who didn't ride but looked after the timing all weekend :)

In fact nobody got injured at all that night. We must be slipping.
