Racing at Puke 10/11 Dec - Show your support!

[Riff Raff]

Right everybody - here's your advance notice of the racing at Puke on 10 and 11 December so you can book it in your diaries. For those that aren't already involved in hands-on support roles, your attendance as a spectator will go a long way to helping our racers as well.

I know many of you get put off by the $10 (I think) fee to watch - but that is a miniscule amount when you compare it to a full days entertainment.

Perhaps someone could organise a KB ride to the track with a little detour around some of the scenic roads???

Come on people - lets support motorcyle racing in New Zealand and our own racing heroes from this site. We've got a fair few KBers who will be racing on this weekend (even some coming up from the South Island so this is a great opportunity to meet them). If those racing could let us know and advise which bike to look out for it would be helpful too.

Speedmedic and myself will be doing ambulance for the weekend so please come up and say hello to us too.

Looking forward to seeing a large KB contingent cheering all our racers on.

I thought you'd be to busy cleaning your leathers and changing your underware after a few laps on the sidecar :lol:

[Riff Raff]

Hah - he's going to use the excuse of going to work to get out of it! I, on the other hand, have no excuse, so bring it on!!! Just make sure someone gets piccies.

[White trash]

Only thing I'm worried about is you South Islanders trying to interfere with me while I'm locked into the fucker.

I'm there sunshine. With bells on even. Hope your boy brings his "A" game.

Sadly a few things have conspired against me going this year. One being the fact I start work at midnight on Sunday and two the coast to coast is on here on the Saturday. But could flag both of them as this looks like way more fun.

[MadDuck]

See ya there Mr Kick...oh and I wont wait for tickets at the gate this time. Thats why Ruapuna so cheap ah :bash: If you need a swinger dont do undie change give me a yell by the way

[Riff Raff]

Bumpity bump. Has anyone organised a ride for all the KBers to go to the racing?? Come on people, lets have a show of hands of who's going to come and spectate.

[k14]

I'll be there, but in a racing capacity. Should be under the big bridgestone tent too, come and say hi.

[Kickaha]

eeerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr no the tent didn't show up in time so you'll be the one standing in the pissing down rain

[White trash]

I'll be the good looking, pimply guy running around with an autograph book.

*wispering voice* OMG! Is that that Kickaha guy? He's such a star!!!"

[RiderInBlack]

Be an early start from Whangarei for me on Sat. Have to be there by 9am to do the Marselling.
Are the Lawance Bros running their Sidecar this year? Awesome to watch those dudes chasing the thou sidecars down with their sixhundy:2thumbsup

[White trash]

Look out for these bikes while your there.

Looks like they're missing a couple of components to my untrained eye.

[DemonWolf]

bahahaaaa... now that was fricking classic!

[PLUG]

Was working on the No1 highway north of Ch-ch yesterday & I seen 4 teams go through GO THE MAINLANDERS ...:chase:

[DMNTD]

....Come on people, lets have a show of hands of who's going to come and spectate.

Duc-Gurl and I will be there as supporters/spectators:yes:
Will be taking a bugger load of pic's too...
Will be good to meet some of y'all ya hear

[LB]

RIB: Yes, the Lawrance boys will be there. They're amazing on that 600!!

Not sure about the weather forecast.....hope the predictions of lots of heavy rain are wrong. Have my rain jacket and leggings packed in case they're right. Let's hope the money/time that's been spent on the track on all that drainage works....remember a couple of years ago they had to cancel racing on the Saturday because the front straight resembled a lake?

I arrived out there today to watch and to say hello....

I spotted Speedmedic and said Hi...
Then it was "Can you help?"
Sure can... and there I was out at Jennian Corner being a marshall....
I got nicely sunburnt out there....
Im glad that I threw in my hat at the last minute into my bag.

Afterwards I went off to find the chch bunch...
I did speak to Shawn and Jasan briefly as well.
Sorry TS I didnt get to see you....

I found out afterwards that Riff Raff had been on the back of the 13 sidecar..
so well done Riff Raff.... Its not something I would want to try to do....

So all up I had a great day.

[Damon]

[Two Smoker]

Couldnt make it too practice... will be out there tomorrow on bike number 194 (ZXR400)...

[Firefight]

[White trash]

Right-oh.

Who's got a massive Australian flag I can borrow for the weekend?

[dss3]

Right-oh.

I assume this flag is to be burnt or de-faced in some manor mate?!

[R6_kid]

was an awesome day, next time im wearing jeans/jacket instead of my one piece, and also taking a warm weather pair of clothes.

Good stuff chris at the other KB racers. Good luck for your two races tomorrow, hopefully they will go as well for you as the one today.

Maybe Chris can go out and improve his PBT again :first:

[crashe]

Awesome day out there... as it was yesterday as well.

As I was marshalling... I got to see all the action up close at Jennian corner.
And bloody sunburnt..... two days in a row.

Went and meet the chch bunch... awesome dudes.

Sorry TS I went to see you after the last race, as thats when I could get away from where I was stationed today.... but you had already left for the day.

Wash your fucken mouth out.

Just wanna show my support for Sean Giles, not that he needed it.

[White trash]

First three qualifiers in the Superbikes were a good deal below the lap record. 600s were amazing.

But the stand out of the day for me was getting up close and personal with the Australian owned, LCR sidecar. The engineering and finish is like nothing I've ever seen before. Qualified 2 seconds below the lap record then in the race, just fucked off into the distance.

[Big Dave]

I went up to the boys and said - 'I understand you speak my language?'
Cool dudes - like me they couldn't understand everyone going on about the heat. It was only 27?!? - That's a nice WINTERS afternoon at Eastern Creek!
Sydney boys grizzle about wearing leathers at 37 degrees!

[Damon]

I was lucky enough to get some photo's of a couple of the yamy bikes when they put them out on the track for a small photoshoot, here's something i threw together last night for Daniel Ornsby,

I just ripped the logo's off the net or made them so they need to be bigger and the toolbar covers up the bottom of the pic on the right hand side but it came out pretty cool.

[bugjuice]

Thanks to all the KBers who made the effort to go to the racing. I didn't get to catch up with many as I was stationed at the hairpin a lot of the time, but I did see a few KB shirts floating around. To those KBers who put their hands up to do marshalling, well done. You all did a great job.

For those that didn't go, you missed some pretty spectacular racing.
