Two hour
for those of you as behind the times as I was until half an hour ago the two hour is on the weekend of 25 26 November, NOT the original dates of 18 19, it has been moved to avoid the rescheduled AMCC round at Hampton downs

Thinking about how I usually feel after the two hour, and it being anticlockwise I'd be keen to make it an hour and just double the laps done, but then I'm old and soft.

Quick reminder that this is on in two weeks and that a team consists of two riders and a flag marshal, so you need to bring a volunteer of sorts.

I ran a 6-hour race at Whenuapai. I don't remember all of it as I was knocked out for a couple minutes. Only managed 1/2 hour or so at the end after I "recovered".

Young fellas nowadays. Back in the old days bucket racers were proper hard. None of this namby pamby 2 hour sprint rubbish. If you didn't spend at least 2 minutes unconscious you weren't trying hard enough. I'm pretty sure bucket racing was where the saying "going for coma" came from.

2017 40 lapper and 2 hour - 3

Team ESE's star rider did us proud and brought home a podium finish in the 40 Lap race.....

40 Lap placings were ... :first:David Millington, :second:Will Ford. :third:Sharn Steadman.

333640

The KTM out on the track during the 2 Hour, it eventually came in, in second place.

333641 333642

88 set the fastest Super Pole and fastest lap during the 2 Hour race but was struck down by bad luck.

There was a lot of full contact racing between the front runners and his exhaust was damaged in one of the collisions. The bike was black flagged for excessive noise and after attempts at a temporary repair had to eventually retire with a broken exhaust stinger.

Regan fettling the KTM.
