[FROSTY]

ALL ATTENDING TRACK DAY PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING CAREFULLY

I want one and all to have a bloody good time so there are some points that are NON negotiable.
1) Bike setup/gear setup.

ALL BIKES and RIDERS going on the track will be scrutineered.
In a nutshell the bike needs to be up tom WOF standard but below are some specifics that your bike MUST have

No sharp/edges/loose parts
Tyres must be road legal for road tyres. (slicks to have visible dot marks)
ball ends on all levers to be in place.
.Mirrors removed or taped up.
No leaking fluids.--- OIL/fork oil/glycol/
GLASS headlights to be removed or taped up to prevent glass flying if you crash .Plastic headlights are fine
Pack rack uppers to be removed -L arms to be taped over-preferably plugged.(plastic wine corks are good for this )
Handle bar ends must have a solid end--NO open tube ends (PLASTIC WINE CORKS MAKE GOOD PLUGS)
Brakes to work propperly FRONT and REAR.
Its preferable to have you tape over your speedo.(Its just a distraction) .

RIDING GEAR
A full face helmet good fitting with no damage into the shell.
LEATHER gloves,
bike boots,
cudura 2 piece,leather one piece or two piece suit.
A back protector isn't compulsary but VERY strongly suggested

THE ONUS IS ON YOU TO MAKE SURE YOUR BIKE/GEAR IS UP TO SCRATCH
If in doubt fix it. If it isnt up to scratch you won't be going on the track.

-2 RULES FOR THE DAY
1 Show concideration for everybody else out there -THIS IS NOT A RACE DAY
2 Stick to your line -Dont try to get out of anybodys way or deliberately block.
3 when overtaking make sure you can do so safely.If in doubt -DON'T
4 if you see a RED flag waving anywhere on the track SLOW TO CRUISING SPEED and pull off the "race" line THEN pull into the pits via the pits exit straight away -the clock will be stopped on your session so ya aint gonna miss out on laps. ANYONE trying to sneak an extra lap will miss out on the rest of that session.
To explain this --Red flag means a dangerous situation.YOUR bike might be leaking oil or the ambulance/recovery vehicle might need to get to a downed rider-we cant do so until the track is clear
5 If a slower rider is holding you up either use rule 3 or ride slowly through the pits and let em get ahead. -again--it aint a race.
6) YELLOW waved flag means SLOW and NO PASSING on that corner
7) a white flag at start finish point means one lap to go, I will have 3 Chequred flags waving and STATIONARY yellow flags at all other marshal points meaning end of session. Once you see a chequred flag pull into the pits,DO NOT continue riding

8 when leaving the track pull to the far right side of the track and nearing pits exit hold your left hand up to let other riders know you are leaving the track.
9 if you are unlucky enough to run off the track-Raise your hand in the air to let us know you're ok.Push the bike away from the track to a safe place -recovery vehicle will pick you up at end of session or you can rejoin if bike is undamaged.The nature of the track means if you crashed in a spot theres a good chance someone else is likely to -If you dont move then I will have to stop the session untill you dont present a danger to yourself or other riders.
8)dont look back whilst on the track
9) if you are unfortunate enough to crash (it wont happen but just in case)
Your bike and gear needs to be rescrutineered before you can go back on the track.
10) obey the group passing rules to be explained on the day
11)Dangerous riding has a zero tolerance.You will be sitting out the rest of the day.
12) the pits speed limit is 40km/h and is NOT a stunt zone--stoppies wheelies etc -I concider this dangerous riding and will treat it as such
13) The Track is an alchohol free zone -NO alchohol to be consumed in the pits area untill end of day.-by riders or spectators.
14)Spectators are at no time to have any part of their body past pit wall Please make sure all kids are aware of this rule
15)Photographers/spectators.-nobody will be trackside unless cleared by event controls and they MUST wear a fluro vest (except during the braking session) --- there will be some areas that are out of bounds -this is strictly in the interest of safety
18) YOU are responsible for your pit area -keeping it safe and keeping it clean
19)Riders in a training session and their coaches will wear fluro vests or fluro sam brownes please be extra conciderate when passing them
20) First session ALL trackday newbees must wear a fluro vest. Again please be extra conciderate when passing them

[FROSTY]

Accomodation for track day

Camellia court is the place I usually organise
They are in Tonga st
Taupo
Which is just off Spa road -(The road to the track)
The place is really nice .
They have motel units, 2 which will take 5 people 5 will take 3. They have one cabin sleeping 6 and a couple of others sleeping 4 The deal is a warm bed for the night,hot showers and tea/coffee/cooking facilities supplied - as well as the civilised way to do things methinks.




PH-073784346
If you want a unit give them a call .

[FROSTY]

Changes from last track day.
1) FLAGS--
RED flag waved means SLOW to cruising pace--NO PASSING and procede to the pits -Please everyone ride on the outside edge of the track -everyone that was at TD3 knows how long that oil took to mop up
DO NOT stop on the track
This is VERY important The recovery vehicle or the amulance needs a clear track before we can go out also there may be debris on the track we need to get off
YELLOW flag waving on a corner -slow no passing on that corner. It means possibly debris/oil or a rider has run off the track at that point
Chequred flag waved at START point and 2 other points --end of session--also yellow flags held (not waved)displayed at all marshal points in case ya missed it. -this means get off the track
Session stickers/flags --The flag/sticker colors for the groups will be
red-slow
yellow med/slow
white.med/fast
Green Fast.
The session flag will be clearly displayed for the group on the track at the TRACK CONTROL point
2 Minutes before session change a foghorn will be sounded and the flag for the next session will be displayed.

Because we have in some cases 2 riders per bike and some riders trying mates bikes out your speed group stickers will be stuck to the front of the HELMET of all riders who have sighned the indemnety form and had their bike examined.

[FROSTY]

full track full track full track full track :second: :second: :scooter: :scooter: :rockon: :rockon:

[ZeroIndex]

how 'slow' is the slow group gonna be travelling?

[FROSTY]

its not how fast the "group " is riding its how fast you will be riding.
a pretty fast rider will take about 1 minute 40 seconds to do a lap. most are takeing 2 minutes.
You ride at your own pace and enjoy 4 odd km of the best/safest windy roads you will find almost anywhere in NZ.

[bert_is_evil]

I'm really keen to sign up for the slow group but I'm concerned that I might be too slow and get in peoples way - do you think it could it be a problem? I've been riding for a few years but on my own so I don't have anything to measure my skills against so don't know if I'm a great rider or a terrible one!

dont worry bout it!
Im sure you will be just fine

[WRT]

I was nervous before doing my first track day. Done 4 now, and loved each and every one of them. Rode the full track at Taupo a week ago and loved it. The faster riders were doing around 1.50, I was doing around 2.05, but there were some taking 2.20/2.30+ to do a lap.

The range of speeds is phenominal, but the track is quite large and so the bikes within each group get well spread around it. There will be others on 250's there, you definately wont be alone in that, maybe some that are smaller too. There will always be riders that are faster and riders that are slower, just ride at your own pace and enjoy!

[bert_is_evil]

Thanks guys, think I will sign up then - looks like loads of fun! (and who can turn down a free foot long subway...)

[speights_bud]

Hey Frosty,
I'll be there for bike recovery if needed (hopefully not) as G4E has talked to you about.
But for you guys wondering about being 'too slow' etc in a nutshell you won't be. The idea of the day is to ride at your own pace and get the most out of it. So even if your in the slow group other riders will be in it for the same reason and everyone will ride accordingly. Hope those who can afford it take advantage of the day :yes: .

[texmo]

I will be out on my 2 fiddy which I have owned for 2 weeks now I have about 8 weeks motorbike riding experiance if you count all the weeks up that I have owned bikes.

[stify]

gg an me is coming, and we will make it this time.....i hope :yes: :yes:

[Karma]

I was in the slow group for the last trackday... I wasn't the slowest, but not the fastest either... if you're fairly slow then just enjoy your day and anyone faster than you will just overtake.

[raster]

I had my first track day in taupo, didn't know what to expect and had borrowed my brothers pride and joy mint Ducati, F**k I was shit scared of scratching it.
Started off one of the slowest then ended up moving to the second group near end of day. :second:


WOW, will do it again.

[Kickaha]

Kickaha gonna be lapped 10 times by frosty 50.00


You're just annoyed about what was on your bank statement aren't you? :lol:

[FROSTY]

[Clivoris]

Great to see so much early interest in this day. I've managed to have a look at the new track and it looks like it is nice and technical with heaps of room for everyone. It should be an excellent fun day.

[bert_is_evil]

This is probably a dumb question but equipment wise do gloves have to be all leather? Mine have some parts that aren't but that's around the top of the wrist etc, not in the important bits.

Don't let that stop you, I have three spare pairs, all leather and on the smaller side (I have "dainty" hands!!.....) just see me on the day and take yer pick.

P.S. Yes Frosty, that means I am coming..will send some money shortly...

Thanks for that! My current gloves are getting a bit worn so I might have a look around for a new pair in the meantime as well.

Hmmmm..... I may have to check them out one day......... I have trouble doing my helmet up with my gloves (it's a click on type)

Hey frosty, I've read the first post over and over again but can't tell... so there is going to be 100 places total right??? (juding from another post when you said people aren't reading and there is 20 filled so 80 to go...)

Now... this might be stupid but is any type of full face helmet ok? or does it have to be DD fastner (I have one of those clip on types)

[texmo]

4 SEPERATE groups. Groups will be Slow, Med/slow Med/fast and Fast. Numbers will be limited to ensure a safe environment. I’m looking to MAXIMUM NUMBER PER CLASS OF 25

Quasi gloves are easy to do things with, like putting helmet on (safety-belt type :))

[Brett]

What sort of group would i fall into on the ZXR? SInce Taupo is quiet tight and twisty i would assume med/fast? With a tiny bit of luck i should have the 636 by then...but may only race a 250cc anyway.

[DMNTD]

Well I'm keen to give this trackday a good crack.
Not sure which speed group I'd be suited to initially so maybe med/slow to start and take it from there.
Cheers Frosty for comfirmation re my boots too mate :yes:

[Karma]

[DMNTD]

I think its the fast group for you mate.
Dunno about that mate...Maybe the medium group then :wait:
"Quickish" on the road will no doubt be different to some of you loons on a track.
Also I don't want to hold anyone up as it would be my first time on a track...no knowledge of protocols etc...

[Karma]

I don't want to hold anyone up as it would be my first time on a track...no knowledge of protocols etc...
A commonly overlooked protocol is that all attendees are required to bring a pie. Leave it with me in the pit lane and I'll look after it...

[FROSTY]

This is definitely still going ahead and its looking to be a great day

[FROSTY]

ok you lot--NOW is the time to start booking places--- I hate saying Im booked up --so come on get ya fingers out

[speights_bud]

Hey Frosty,
Can we have the track day sign up list updated? i made payment last Weekend and sent you a pm, but haven't heard back on anything yet.
Any Prob's just send me a PM.
Cheers

It's gonna be great!

[Squeak the Rat]

With some slight trepidation I think I might sign up for my first ever track day on my budget roadster.......gulp.....be gentle.....

[FROSTY]

ok its now only 2.5 months tilltrack day
I really havent got the numbers to go ahead
I need moolah in account pronto

[Big Chim]

ok its now only 2.5 months tilltrack day

If all else fails will you go the shorter track?

[Kyle]

I was planing on signing up but more like one month in advance, two and half months is too far away for me, for all i know my bike will blow up before then.

[fatboyfraser]

At last I've managed to get my arse into gear and sign up. Now I just have to decide which of my two race prepped wonders I'll be riding. My preferred choice is the 1988 240Kg GSX1100F (I can hear you R1 riders quaking in fear) but if that expires from morbid obesity before November I think I could be competitive on my KLR650. As long as I ride it in a small circles in the grass area in the centre of the track.

[FROSTY]

guys this is still on
We will be pitting in the OLD pits this time--due to the endure being on

[FROSTY]

Y ou wanted more track days so you got it
Now Ive only got 2900 in the kitty to wright a 6k cheque.
Pull ya fingers out and get ya money through
Its only 2 months to go

[Squeak the Rat]

Come on everyone! This will be my fisrt track day, so a) there'd better be enough people to make it a go and b) u fast feckers will have one less nana to contend with and c) if u don't go I can crow about how I would have given you the learn.

Seriuosly though, the track's looking mint, lets support Frosty running these things. If they become too hard to fill they will stop happening... Get in there - go the new track :wari:

[LilSel]

I would be keen as for this day... but unfortunately (kinda) I will be in Venezuela representing ya'll!
Te he Wish me luck :D
Have a blast everyone!

[SuperDave]

I'll be in Frosty - Just I havn't gone through and read all this info yet.
Would you send me a PM with your account details so I can send you the cash once I've read it all.

Thanks
Dave

[ZeroIndex]

I'll see what I can do.. just gotta get my bike up to 'my acceptable track spec', and I'm hoping that will leave enough money for the trackday..

[Street Hawk]

hey frosty are 250's aloud? or am i gonna hold up the pac?:innocent:

[SuperDave]

Shit, just read the info now and question has been answered.
Will transfer a deposit to you tonight sometime.

[FROSTY]

[Harleyman30]

[FROSTY]

[Meekey_Mouse]

[FROSTY]

spectators are free

[Keystone19]

There is a track day on tomorrow (www.motott.co.nz) but it is not a Kiwibiker one.

[Cleve]

Hey Frosty. Hope you got my $100 that I put in yesterday.
When possible please confirm and add my name to list.
Should be a fun day.
Cheers

[jade]

I'll do my best to get in this trackday..
test riding a new aprilia rs250 tmoro.. if I buy it, im in

[Sparky Bills]

So there are still places availible?

[SuperDave]

Hey Frosty, I transfered a deposit of $50 into your account a few days ago.
Just want to confirm that you received this and could you please put my name up on the list.

Thanks
Dave

[Drunken Monkey]

Just so people know, there's lots on that weekend and the place is full except for 2 more rooms they had put aside for "Party of Frost". They were just about to release these and allow them to be booked by anyone, so if you want to stay at Cemellia Court with all the other cool cats, then you better ring them ASAP.

[texmo]

Got their number?

[SuperDave]

Hey Drunken Monkey, won't there be other places available or is Taupo meant to be so packed around this time that everywhere will be booked out?

[Drunken Monkey]

Got their number?

www.whitepages.co.nz


Hey Drunken Monkey, won't there be other places available or is Taupo meant to be so packed around this time that everywhere will be booked out?

Apparently there is a lot on that weekend, including a visit by some of the Kiwi world MX champs, plus a few other sporting events going on. The word is _everything_ is going to be busy, not just Camelia Court.

Edit: Plus Camellia Court is where _it_ is at. You don't wanna be one of those squares who stays somewhere else now, do ya?

[SuperDave]

Guess I'll be giving them a call tomorrow then. Thanks for the heads up.
I transferred a deposit to Frosty over a week ago but my name is still not on the list :confused: Might need to give Frosty a call tomorrow sometime too then.

[Big Chim]

hey frosty are 250's a loud?

Yeah mines loud.

Get into it, the track is the bizzo

[texmo]

Guess I'll be giving them a call tomorrow then. Thanks for the heads up.

wanna go halfs in a room? thats if there is more than one bed per room....:love:

[SuperDave]

wanna go halfs in a room? thats if there is more than one bed per room....:love:

Sure man. I was just gonna phone Camellia court tomorrow and see if they could reserve a place for me under the spaces available for Party of Frost. I'm assuming that the Party of Frost is really just an unfilled reservation of a couple of 5/6 people rooms but heck I have no idea really.

To be honest I'm not fussed at all where I stay, as long as I have a decent place to sleep that's not overly expensive. Don't need to stay where everyone else is staying because it's the 'cool' place to be.

The reason I'm going down is to go ride on the track! :yes:

[Drunken Monkey]

I'm not sure about the cabins, they usually go pretty quick (ask Frosty). The last ones, as far as I know, are 2 bed motel suites. $85 per room. They usually let a 3rd crash on the floor for $20 or so.

[FROSTY]

Id be booking rooms pretty darn fast if I were you guys---The cabins are the bizzo-cheap as--only trouble is ya gotta supply ya own bedding or pay a bit extra for their bedding

[Karma]

Yeh they're pretty booked up apparently.

I've literally just called up and booked up a twin room, apparently they only have a couple left so best to get in there.

[MD]

OK Frosty put me down. I will transfer $100 to you in a minute under MD of course.
I have booked in at the Barcelona motel. Is anyone else staying there? That Golf course Motel was a dump last time. Hope this Barcelona is more up market.
Doesn't look like many Wgtn people are in. Bugger.

[VasalineWarrior]

Sure they are MD! Me, Velox and pistol pete are going up-sounds like camellia might be full soonish so let us know how much the place your staying at costs cause it might be an option by the time us three figure out where we're sleepin :rockon:

[skelstar]

Gotta get my A into G and get into this TD.

Welly represent!

It was $140 for a family unit which sounds OK to me. I used yellowpages.co.nz which has a link to Barcelona's website for pretty pictures. Looks tidy. If you guys need sleeping/wet gear carted up drop me a pm. Friendly cartage rate is only $1/km per kg

[skelstar]

...Friendly cartage rate is only $1/km per kg
Sounds good! How about we recognise you as a fellow welly HC member for $1/min/recognisee? :)

I might take you up on that. You taking a trailer. If not I might.

[MD]

I might take you up on that. You taking a trailer. If not I might.
Yeah trailer up. Don't have room for a second bike but can take gear. Bear in mind I'll have four bods in the car already.

Jim, can you pack that 12ft steel trailer ramp into your backpack for me! I'll bring your change of undies and socks up in the car, you bring the ramp on the back of your 998. Those bikes have great luggage capacity. Bloody worked well your ramp over my budget homemade wooden plank.
Second thoughts, I don't want to know about your undies.

[sels1]

Thought I better get my A into G too. Just booked a room at the Barcelona as well.

[SuperDave]

Has anyone booked a room that sleeps like 5 people or something and looking for some more people to share the room and keep the price per a head down?

[Karma]

I've got a twin room booked for Saturday night only. Planning to ride back Sunday evening after the day. $40 and you're in.

[SuperDave]

I'm in Mr Weasel. I'll be taking my bike down on the back of a van though.

[SuperDave]

Oh and where have you booked? Camellia?

[R6_kid]

I'm in Mr Weasel.

you sure? he's not making any noise.... you touching the sides?

[SuperDave]

Gareth reckons I sound over eager...what I meant to say was

"Hey Weasel, yeah that sounds alright, think that would be fine. Will be taking my bike down on a van though"

[Karma]

I'm in Mr Weasel. I'll be taking my bike down on the back of a van though.

Cool.


Oh and where have you booked? Camellia?

Yes mate, just one of the twin rooms. Think it might have a bed in the living area as well if you wanna cut the costs a little more?


you sure? he's not making any noise.... you touching the sides?

You're just jealous :shit:

[texmo]

OK wealsel I will take the floor or bed in the living room ok?

[Karma]

No worries... should have a bed really, most of the other rooms seemed to.

[SuperDave]

OK wealsel I will take the floor or bed in the living room ok?

Sweet, I thought you'd be quick to jump in.
Looking forward to this trackday.

[Karma]

Yeh should be pretty sweet eh. About 7 weeks away now isn't it?

[FROSTY]

[MSTRS]

[Karma]

Do I have to leave my clothes on?

[MSTRS]

Do I have to leave my clothes on?

Full riding gear a must - besides, been watching Taupo's temperatures recently??

[Karma]

Yeh, I was there for the may trackday... that was just a little chilly... hopeing this one will be a little better.

[MikeyG]

hey frosty are 250's aloud? or am i gonna hold up the pac?:innocent:

I intend to be there on a GN, it won't be you holding up the pack

[Karma]

It'll be easy enough to get past you, you won't be holding people up.

[FROSTY]

folks The track is pretty darn big --as in a fast guy is taking almost 2 minutes to get round --I doubt anybody will have problems passing

[Tony.OK]

Excuse my ignorance,but if I pay the $50 deposit does that make the balance to pay $75 or $50.Am pretty keen at this point.Cheers.

[MSTRS]

I read it that as long as Frosty receives a total of $100 on or before 10.10.06 then it makes no difference if you split the payment

[FROSTY]

bung ya moolah in dude--as long as Ive got payment in full 2 weeks before the event all is good

[Tony.OK]

Does payment in full come with a guarantee of fine hot weather ;)
Would hate to put on my supa corsa's for a wet track lol.

[Karma]

I'll guarantee good weather**









**not an actual guarantee

[Slapnuts]

How'd,
I want to bring two bikes, does that mean i need to pay twice?
Cheers

[FROSTY]

Sure, but I will probbly be riding down. I just need to find someoen to take down my warmers and stands.

[SuperDave]

Sure, but I will probbly be riding down. I just need to find someoen to take down my warmers and stands.

Maybe not. I will be sorting out my dad's work van next weekend. If all goes to plan, it should fit two 600's securely on the back. You're welcome to have the 2nd place and go halves in the diesel to get us down there.

It's a twincab too, so plenty of space on the back seats for helmets, stands, gear, etc.

Hey FROSTY,

Would getting the transponders and associated gear that the race meeting people use help get people to the track?

I dont mind driving that stuff during the day.

[ajturbo]

Hey FROSTY,

oooo you mean it is a race now????

[ajturbo]

Can I ride the scooter?

should i chuck mine is also........????only thing, we have the track for one day, so ... one lap and pack up :whistle:

[Karma]

oooo you mean it is a race now????

I would imagine that timed laps would invalidate a lot of peoples insurance.

From what I'm aware a trackday is covered by standard insurance unless the laps are being timed, in which case it becomes a race and race insurance is needed.

[Quasievil]

You are 100% right there , if its timed Im out (hang on I aint in really eh?)
me better pay some coins

[skelstar]

Not everyones laps are timed, therefore not a race maybe?

I can just merit in the racers going out and getting some sort of feedback as to how fast they are going.

Im sure loosebruce, dss et al aren't out there for a potter around on their trackbikes.

[ajturbo]

yer that is what i was referring to.....

[SuperDave]

Maybe I actually am still covered by my insurance whilst on the track then.

[FROSTY]

Hey FROSTY,

Would getting the transponders and associated gear that the race meeting people use help get people to the track?

I dont mind driving that stuff during the day.
Thanks a million for the offer mate but Ill have to say NO -explained below.

Please guys to lay rest to the bullshit
Regarding insurance cover.
MY EVENT INSURANCE COVER SPECIFICLY EXCLUDES RACE OR TIMED EVENTS
rEGARDING INDIVIDUAL INSURANCE
In MOST cases the EVENT is what is being refered to not any one individuals personal choice
What that means in plain english is I (AS EVENT ORGANISER) cannot/will not run a RACE meeting or in any way run timing equipment of any sort.
I cannot however control the actions of any individual who chooses to use HAND HELD timing equipment such as a stopwatch.
I will be forced to ask that said timing desists -SHOULD I SEE THE TIMING TAKING PLACE :whistle: :whistle:
Anyone unsure how they individually stand in regards to this needs to contact their insurance company

[Karma]

Maybe I actually am still covered by my insurance whilst on the track then.

Most companies do as far as I'm aware... as long as it's not timed or places awarded then it's basically just going round and round on a piece of closed road. So insurance should be sweet.

[skelstar]

Yeah check with insurance company. Call it a 'rider improvement day'.

[Toast]

Hey Frosty I have just wired over the remaining $50, hopefully it's not too late to still get the $100 trackday deal. Only just remembered it, good thing it's not the 10th yet!

You know, that might not be such a bad idea, considering that it's got no brakes (dunno how it got WOF'd) I'd be improving my corner speed heaps!

:shifty:

[jetboy]

Hey Frosty - will there be any sort of training involved, or is this just a general hoon around the track?

[Blackbuell]

Hey Frosty - will there be any sort of training involved, or is this just a general hoon around the track?

I have spoken to Frosty,he has said there will be a number of people there that will be training riders as they go around the track,there is no timing of anyone.
These Trackdays that Frosty organise are not race days,they are training days for riders to go out on a track under controlled enviroment & learn skills they can possibly use on the road.

[Blackbuell]

For everyone who is going to this Trackday,make sure you approach your insurance company,to check to see if you are covered for Track/Training Days you could well be suprised that you are not covered????

Im not having EOD but if you're not sure just pay the deposit then youve got a buck each way

[Gixxer 4 ever]

Anyone want my booking for the TD4? I am still going and will be working on the track doing bike recovery. I have sold my bike and will not get the replacement till after the day. So I can take my van and trailer up and spend the day fetching so Frosty can get a break. Price is $100. I will give you my account number and you can pay me online.
First PM gets it. I will be away at the track tomorrow but the PM's have a time so first in gets it. Cheers people.

[Karma]

Well the 7 day forcast is up... fingers crossed we get some good weather.

[slob]

Not quite sure if my bike's gonna be ready by the weekend (waiting on a part delivery), so if anyone wants to pay me the $100 and take my place, just PM me..

[Karma]

What's the deal with the pits now anyways? We using the old pits now?

[Gixxer 4 ever]

We used the new pits yesterday but only as a dummy grid. The bikes were all parked in the car park behind the construction area. Worked very well. Cones stopped the people who were leaving the track coming down pit lane. They directed them out the gate.

[FROSTY]

BECAUSE THE 7 DAY ENDURO IS USING THE TOP PITS WE ARE USING THE OLD PITS.
To be honest folks im pretty happy with that--This means we can use the covered over varanda as a viewing area and sighn on spot

[Leong]

Hey Frosty, are we using the new A1 track next weekend, or the one we used yesterday where we used the tight chicane to join the old track....Hope they don't get rid of all the fun bits!!

Looking at the map I think we need to use the tight chicane b'cos we are using the old pit lane.

Anyway straights are boring on the GN, can we get rid of them and have a few more twisties please???

Anyone want my booking for the TD4? I am still going and will be working on the track doing bike recovery. I have sold my bike and will not get the replacement till after the day. So I can take my van and trailer up and spend the day fetching so Frosty can get a break. Price is $100. I will give you my account number and you can pay me online.
First PM gets it. I will be away at the track tomorrow but the PM's have a time so first in gets it. Cheers people.

Looks like it is sold. I will know on Wednesday. Thanks for the mail ppl.

Bit of a late entry... See you guys on sunday... Just look for the black and red bike wobbling around at a snails pace with the number 17 on it...

My apologies if this is a stupid question (I've never been to a track). My 250 has a teeny tiny tank and seems to require constant refilling - is there a place to fill up near/at the track or should I bring a jerry can or something with me?

The GN only has a 10 litre tank and I used less than that last weekend - 4 sessions with a lot of time running at high revs.

There is a gas station about 3km down the road but most people seem to bring cans

BP is about 3-4km from track.
Fill up before going to track & you will probably go all day. Most people do less than 100kms in a day

Is anyone whose staying Sat night having some sort of socialising happening?

[bert_is_evil]

Cool, thanks.

I jumped on the 250 last night after riding solely the ace for about the past month - felt like I was riding a noisy mountain bike!

Or where-ever. We are staying with family, but would be nice to meet/catchup with KBers without the time constraints at the track.
