Lap times around Pukekohe

[Fishy]

Does anyone know what the fastest lap around Puke on a bike is??

Also does anyone know the track lap record and what it was done by?

What times have you achieved around Puke and what bike were you on?

[White trash]

Shaun Giles, 55 seconds, GSXR1000

Me 1.04. GSXR600K3 road bike with mirrors and other shit attached. Never riden a litre bike around there.

[bugjuice]

I once managed a 1:06, then the laps either side were around 1:08.. but everyone keeps shunning me. So I'll have to go do it again..

[dss3]

1.11 on nc30 400cc, would like to get that under 1.10. Think about 1.06 on R1, hope to get more like 1.03 tomorrow, will see...

[Fishy]

Thats pretty quick on an NC30 eh. Let us know how you go tomorrow on the R1.

[steved]

Thats pretty quick on an NC30 eh.Yeah, my thoughts too.

[dss3]

Im pretty sure Kwakakid was doing 1.09 or 1.10 on his nc30. Gary from GP trading probably does about that or faster on his too, but I think his is pretty tricked up.

[bugjuice]

TS flies around Puke on the 400.. don't know what his times are off hand, but he often leads the F3 round the track..

He does 1.07's I believe.... little bastard!

[Fishy]

Shit thats quick on a 400. Any mods other than exhaust, jet kit and filter?

[scroter]

Im pretty sure Kwakakid was doing 1.09 or 1.10 on his nc30. Gary from GP trading probably does about that or faster on his too, but I think his is pretty tricked up.

I pitted for gary at the nationals, his best time was in the 8's but yes his bike is well developed but was still running on standard suspension.

[Fishy]

What engine mods did the NC30 have?

[texmo]

Shit thats quick on a 400. Any mods other than exhaust, jet kit and filter?
Stock zxr400

[Fishy]

TS must be a pretty talented bugger then eh. Pushing that 400 around in 1:07. Thats bloody quick alright.

[bugjuice]

Stock zxr400
after market exhaust pipe, rebuilt and modified rear shock (mods are the reservoir is now external instead of internal, and that makes a difference apparently ;)). Aside from that, the rest of the bike is just well looked after. kinda..

You aint seen him on his gixxer 600 then. Fuck me.

[Firefight]

Just come from the track, and someone has just achived a new PB, sub 1.10

will let them tell the story tonight when they get home.

Bloody good effort that rider:2thumbsup


F/F

[Shade]

Nice

Also -

Pretty sure Logan (KK) Is into 1.08's with his FZR400? And running min 9's easily when it was geared for taupo small track <200k down back straight top out, and running 6th gear already coming over the hill>

Chris and Logan = Legends, i reckon :)

[cowpoos]

I once managed a 1:06, then the laps either side were around 1:08.. but everyone keeps shunning me. So I'll have to go do it again..

sounds like disfunctional timing gear kit....

[bugjuice]

is that so?
edity - oh, and that wasn't on Avon Vipers® so I could be a little quicker now..

[Marmoot]

1.16 on my first time...........no record on my 2nd and 3rd time (missus wasn't there)

[Two Smoker]

ZXR400L8 (stock except for the mods stated by kit, which means relatively stock and geared for pukekohe) 1:07.126 (Nationals)

GSX-R600 K5 Road bike, Low 1:03's (With Traffic)

GSX-R600 K4 Race Bike, Mid to high 1:02's (With Traffic) but haven't had a chance to do fast laps... Hoping for some 61's and 60's when i get back racing... And faster again by the end of the year...

Lap record: Shawn Giles with a 57.255 (Both Ray Clee, 57.325, and Andrew Stroud, 57.408, are within 10's of a second) I still think Ray Clee owns Pukekohe...

Sam Smith did a 59.122 on a R6...

[sugilite]

A low 1.01 on the ZXR9. Had a slipping clutch. Time sux, I never go that well at puke it seems.

[Firefight]

1.11 on 03 R6.



F/F

[Edbear]

Think I'd be rather outclassed here! I must try a track day soon, how do you think a middle-aged fat man on a 17year old 600-F would do?

[FROSTY]

um er well Im doing consistant low 1.09's on my SV with occasional tips into 1.08's -On the right day with better gearing i might do better--then again a better rider would do better

[Keystone19]

Hmm, 1.12 on the SV and 1.08 on the GSXR600.

[cowpoos]

Hmm, 1.12 on the SV and 1.08 on the GSXR600.
fast and gorgeous....its no wonder your taken babe!!!!

[justsomeguy]

10 mins 30 seconds on a ZZR 250.

[SlowHand]

all i can say is, if your bikes struggling to do 140, dont go on the track because its damm embarassing :doh:

[justsomeguy]

[justsomeguy]

Yes - was funny - here I am flat on the tank in the "racing crouch" doing 150kmph, which was all the bike could do and LooseBruce flies past doing 300kmph following a R1 doing god knows what - It was as though I was watching TV on fast forward.


Who cares how embarassing it is - I don't give a feck what anyone thinks. Gotta start somewhere.

[bugjuice]

i've bounced mine off the limiter in 6th on that back straight.. fastest crap I've ever done

[R6_kid]

i think i did a 1.28 on the zxr back when i had now balls... keystone did the same time as me after one session :whistle:

not so keen on the scenery at pukekohe, but would like to have a good blat on the R6 when i get it into a safe condition for caining again!

[Marmoot]

1.11 on 03 R6.

oh btw, is now a good time to come round and help you mow the lawns ?

[Marmoot]

oh btw, is now a good time to come round and help you mow the lawns ?

Don't worry....I got my Pa-in-law imported from overseas. I only need to instruct him (using sign language) on how and what to do, then relax in my room surfing internet in an activity called "Work". Aparently, by doing that the lawn "mowed itself"

Still need to make a fence on Monday, though. The friggin dog keeps on going over to the neighbour's yard through a hole he made in the bush.....

[k14]

1.10.4 on my rs at the nationals last year. Means fuck all anyway, lets talk about best laptimes on a real track like ruapuna or levels.

Keystone has to be the fastest chick I've ever seen on two wheels.

59secs on a K3 GSXR750 while eating a steak and cheese pie and doing a suduko puzzle.

2002 ZX6R: 1:09's in traffic...1:07+ without.

2001 'Blade: Made a c#$^ of myself in the wet, so not sure yet. Should be ok once I get my shit together though.

I'm curious to know what the quickest thing around there is. Those Formula Toyotas are in the 55's. Surely there's some similar concept of car with a bigger engine that mauls that though.

does low 1:07 on that ole ZXR400 then lets KK thrash it to high 1:07s while destroying his tyres and grinding his pipe on ground.... LEGEND mate

[vtec]

Yeeeha, was doing consistent 1.15's in the last race today on my MC22 CBR250RR, with Quasi up my arse. Best of the day was a 1:15.17. Definitely got a 1:14 in it though.

Was bouncing off the revlimiter in 6th from about halfway along the back after drafting behind some 400's. When I'm on my own though, it stops just short of the revlimiter.

[Cleve]

Did 1.05's on my R6, first race in 15 years at previous round of AMCC series. Michilin Powers, Micron pipe and power commander is all I've done to it.

Cheers mate!!! Made my day to see Logo get into the 1:07s... Grinding to the pipe just added to the grinds that i had already put there and no worries about the tyres...

Hehe cheers, well I think I'll run the season out on my 250, cause I've finally got everything all set with a wreck for spares, but I'll step up to F3 or something else next year. Still having so much fun on the CBR. I know how to ride it quite well, cause its also my commuting bike that I take to uni and work every day, haven't had a spill in over a year now.

I just feel sorry for you man having to sit it out. Even with such fine company as you keep, I know you would still rather be out on the track mixing it up. Best of hopes for 2 months as opposed to 6.

[Quasievil]

Well I started the day at 1.18 and finished with a best time of 1.15 something, having a absolute Ball with Vtec, Unsure why a stock 250 is beating me on the back straight must be cause Im heavier ? fuck knows, pleased with the level of my riding was going as hard as possible with a few slides here and there, however a bit dispondent with the results mmmmmmm
Think Im about done with that bike, I basically loose any position and some from the starts, sp close ratio gear box = stink as starts.
I think its time for a re evaluation etc

good day all, well done to DSS3 , 4th for fucks sake in F1 on a stock R1 and holding position well........... got a nice video of a nice slide which was a goody, will have to play later and see if I can post

Night all Im fucked

That was just plain ol scarey ---I was darn sure from the amount of sparks it was all over red rover--3 laps in a row--but No he was just finding the limits of lean angle :headbang:

[gpercivl]

F..k I'm slow then, it's taken me 8 years to get to 1:05.1, seems like everyone else does it within a few months :crybaby:

Half of it's probably a load of arse anyway, so don't worry too much.

[Kwaka-Kid]

what are u on about toast? Get with the play too Greg, what are u talkin about too?

I bet i could do 1:05's on an FZR400 if my massive ego didnt slow me down so much. There was this one time, at pukekohe, where i was coming into the hairpin doing a fast lap that was looking like a 1:05 on the 400, but then i was slowed down too much by my bell-end dragging along the track in the hairpin so that was like, what slowed me down that extra 5 seconds... yeah.

Hahaha ohh man i love the dreams that run thru my head.

[FROSTY]

yea well KK --given you're doing 1.07's it aint pipe dreams methinks

[roogazza]

About 2 mins !! but in traffic, with high gearing, head wind, and my helmet on backwards !! G.

[racefactory]

Hey guys I hope you don't mind if I revive this thread as there are a lot of times for different bikes and riders who will have come a long way since then!

After doing my first time on track @ pukey testing day and having had an unbelievable amount of fun, I'm not denying it's become a personal quest of mine to break into 1.05 on a stock road zx6r. I got a very average 1.09 but at least I can feel there is a lot of room for immediate improvement.

I'm curious to get a gauge of what can be done on a road 600 vs race bike. Two Smoker has managed 63 seconds on a stock, road legal GSXR600 is that right?

Has anyone topped this since and hit 62?

I know the top level riders on their 600's are making 120 at the rear wheel and go at 58 seconds but I'd like to know if there's really much difference in it between your average slick shod race bike and a road bike? I can't see there being so.

Post your road bike times!!! :scooter:

I'd pay good money to see a NC30 get 1.07 around pukey that's for sure; simply fucking incredible what some riders can do. :crazy:

One last thing, are open testing days the cheapest way to get track time with a 600 or is there some sort of racing that I could join in with that would be cheaper?

...PS. This might be a stupid question but is it possible to actually avoid the bump in the middle section of the turn 1 sweeper or does it extend all the way across the width of the track? Had a real oh shit moment when I hit that at 160, the feeling like both the wheels are in the air!

[Kwaka-Kid]

How much money exactly? and who supplies the NC30?

Talk about "reviving" an old thread! But it has been done racefactory. My memory fails me of late but late on in my road racing days the FZR400 was doing 107's, and I think the NC30 did, to be fair mine was a slower one powered by an NC35 engine/electrics.

[k14]

Well if a 125GP bike with about 45hp can do 1.04's I'd say a stock 600 on decent road tyres could do a 61.

FZR400 doing 1.07, was that a road bike mate? Top respect for cracking that, far out!

You don't still have that thing do you kwaka kid?

[Kwaka-Kid]

Haha, nah the FZR was a race bike.

I do have in my old book of notes a 1.08 on a full road going VFR400 NC30 (my old road one) with indicators etc still on - just plate taken off... It looked identical to my race bike... after a minor off on the racebike and an oil leak, i quickly whipped the plate off the road one and ran it out there for the next race... to be honest it was quicker than my race VFR anyway!.. Those were the days, now look at what you've done - you've dragged me back to this site-I've not been part of these circles for years.

[racefactory]

Absolutely amazing man. 1.07 on a stock road NC30- give that man a medal! How much would you charge me to cane my one around there for me to see mate? :apint:

If the fastest posted time here is a 1.03 on a road 600 then those nationals class bikes doing 58 must be worked to hell AND have god like riders on them because I know there are some fucking good pilots here..

[k14]

I wouldn't class them as "worked to hell". All they have done to the engine is race ecu, full exhaust system and a slightly thinner headgasket. They are very very close to a road bike. Probably the biggest difference is the suspension, fork internals replaced and new rear shock. But around puke it isn't a massive difference compared to other tracks.

[racefactory]

Does anyone know what the NSR250 and RGV250 bikes can do around there?

[Kwaka-Kid]

ahaha, ah I don't think Id trust your NC30 in my hands now days!

That aside, Bruno had a MC21 NSR250 when I had my NC30 and this was in my earlier race days, they were VERY even when we were both running 1:10/1:09's, I never actually raced it myself @ pukekohe, but around the old taupo track I par'd my time on my NC30 racing it.. (45 seconds rings a bell?). I think it did actually lack a TINY bit of top speed on the NC @ pukekohe but made up for it in the lack of weight/exit out of castrol (is it still called that?). Oh and it used to lock up the rear cylinder every now and then coming into the hairpin. the RGV250 would be on par too I'd say.. a guy on here "Hoon' used to have one and be in the same bracket.

[FROSTY]

107's on a pair of sub 80hp wheezers and battling it out all day long. --Yep I remember that. Dang you got up to speed on the zxr really fast ol son. Gave me n black ice a real run for our money.
Last round at towpoo it was a guy on an RGV250 who led every race. I thought I was superman and was gioing faster than him--till I ended in the kitty litter

The 107 was on a stock ZXR400 and he was battling for the lead in a race at the time
I should know because I had the best/worst seat injthe house-battlin out with him.
The difference between club level laps and national level laps is just that the guys do what they need to do to win. so the top club guys only go as fast as they need to. That and I gotta say theres a bit more attention to suspension

On the T1 (jennian) front.
on the start/finish straight go as far left -yes LEFT as you can untill you see the apex then turn in and stay as tight to the right hand wall as ya can without running over the ripple strip. It also makes a huge difference f you are on the gas or trailing the throttle so make sure you are on the gas with the chasis loaded up -even if you need to be in a lower gear.

I'll vouch for the man.

He taught me over two seconds at Pukekohe in one day. Started @ 1.03.5 on Shauns K6 600 and by the end of the day we were 1.01.3.

You'll also reduce trye wear and your own body wear.

Best $250 you'll ever spend.

Replied to your PM

As far as your question here, My Offer is based on my Original post of 1 second or more, I would need to work with you and inspect our bike and set up the suspension as best as it can for the STD Non modified gear you are using in it currently.

I do Know that with your STD gear modified and set up by me on the day ( Not after market brands) that alone would give you well over a second a lap

As an ex racer of 24 years, my set up skills of suspenion has been proven on the track, Not just on the internet:yes:

[racefactory]

Damn I'm keen for this.

Does anyone want to take my bike around pukey this friday for me btw? I want to see what it's capable of as is.

I have been lucky enough to have Shaun coach me at an ART trackday (I've known the man a long time so the language at times was a tadd to the point) and setup the stock suspenders on my K7 gixxer 600. I can honestly say I got faster in every track session down to my fastest F3 lap time. I never felt uncomfortable or that I had pushed any personal limits yet the lap times kept dropping.

[SPman]

Jeez Logan - I can recall a session where I was enticed onto the track (first time for about 30 yrs), I thought I was doing alright on the approach to the hill and you went past me on the 400 so fast, I thought I'd actually stopped! Had to check to make sure the engine was still running!
How's life. young fella?

I'm sure your memory stretches things a little.. to be partically on track with this thread, I dont think I could go around puke as quick now.. life changed +house(5secs), +house(5seconds), +wife(5secs), +son (10secs).. to me at best I think I could now only achieve a 1:32 by my calculations! Responsibility I think is what slows lap times more than anything... lose some and you'll be right racefactory! :)

um er well Im doing consistant low 1.09's on my SV with occasional tips into 1.08's -On the right day with better gearing i might do better--then again a better rider would do better

1.02s on my sv650 commuter bike (very similar spec to Frosties........) :gob:

[QUOTE=FROSTY;1129987910]I have been lucky enough to have Shaun coach me at an ART trackday (I've known the man a long time so the language at times was a tadd to the point)


as I said on the day ys fukin pussin, hurry the fuk up and get your dam arse on the seat bitch or I'll kick ya frigg Teeth in


OOPS, I meant in the new NZ PC Bullshit way


O well JOHNY, as long as you had fun:angry: BOLLOCKS, going faster means you have had fun, so work harder BITCHES
NOPE-- as I recall it went-- harden the fuck up frosty. If you can do 1.07's here on that shitbox commuter bike you were riding then you can go at least that fast on a REAL racebike.:innocent:
After that pep talk we did some suspension changes to optimise for my riding "style"
Then it got down to some REAL work.
Look frosty your lines about right on that corner but you transition too slow,
Frosty you can get on the gas earlier there.
Frosty why the fuck are you turning in there and taking a double bite at the corner.
(And that was just in the pits getting to the dummy grid)
Nahhh seriously it was good to just ride and focus on getting the mojo back

yea I know--dunno what shocked me more-that you knew what you were on about or that you were polite about it :innocent:

but SERIOUSLY guys-I have real respect for the tecnical ability of Engine builders and suspension builders on this site BUT to me a lot of what they say is just so much gobbledeegoop.Shaun speaks in plain english that I understand when it comes to suspension settings.

Thanks Buddy, the advantage I have to suspension settings set up is my 24 years of racing obviously, ( Closed tracks and Roads) and I also understand what parts of the internals of the suspension need changed to get the action/feal the rider wants to go faster safer.

Yea --and then crank the retaining bolts REALLY tight

[ttmadness]

1.07 stock cbr600rr commuter bike. bike has definitely got 1.05 in it tho

im not sure if claims of 600 road bikes doin low 1.03 can be taken seriously, i doubt it somehow.

Would b able to do 61s 62s on a stock 600 without to much trouble

Like fuck. You'd pull in because you "Don't like those conditions" or "The handle bars are fucking with my suspension"

yea well what are we talking about here? 03 04 upwards kind of stuff or 97 srad cbr600f that kind?

i dont think itd even make any difference between 03 04 stuff and current ''cutting edge'' bikes though aye?

Doesn't matter really, you said it couldn't be done. Bsaed simply on the fact that you cant do it and therefore obviously nobody can.

[Littleman]

Any times with the updated track?

[Voltaire]

I think only the Posties and CMCRR have run a meeting there as MNZ aren't keen on it.
Some old Ducati 851 managed 1:12,Japans finest were only a couple of secs behind.

But bloody good though.
One of the few places you felt you were getting a bike properly wound out.

What he said ... it was awesome fun.
Even better cos the rest time meant some of us big boys could avoid the dreaded 'fade factor' ..
