[kiwifruit]

wow, thats pretty cool!

[skelstar]

Funtastic!

[MattRSK]

Hey awesome, I will be there.
Just a question, Will it be possible to change groups throughout the day? If you find one class too slow/fast?

[bobsmith]

Hmmm how do I go about joining VMCC? :)

What time does the sign up start on Sunday? I assume bikes only?

[sugilite]

Yeeeee Haaaaaaa! :banana: :banana: :banana:

[svs]

Some details still to be sorted. But....


Bikes Only. Must be warrented/road fit or up to MNZ standards for race bikes
Signon probably from around 8:15. It's only a track day - I don't want to have to be there too early :)
Join VMCC: See website (http://www.vicclub.co.nz/tiki-download_file.php?fileId=16)
You might be able to change groups. Depending on numbers and also you wouldn't be able to go out in 2 groups in the same set of sessions.
Slow group will probably have a lead rider
If you're an idiot we reserve the right to chuck you out
If you're too fast/slow we might ask you to change groups

[Goblin]

Will it be the short track or the long track?

[skelstar]

Going to ask the obvious...join with VMCC today and ride for free on Sat?

[texmo]

I am in man, will it be short circut? is it open on friday too?

[Sketchy_Racer]

hmm. I bet your going to have quite a few VMC memberships coming soon.

[svs]

We've done this for quite a few years now. Something for the VMCC members who aren't racing all the time.


It's on the Short Circuit (3km).
Track is open on the friday - it's a manfeild normal test daySee here (http://www.manfeild.co.nz/testdays.asp)
St Johns will be in attendance - but no-one's going to crash are they.....


If anyone just wants to help out - flaggies and the like then let us know. Lots of people want to take advantage of these things, but we still need help to make it run smoothly - This isn't a full race day, with fast crash recovery and the normal dedicated marshall team.

[skelstar]

Fark... so arguably you could turn up for the test-day (fri), VMCC day (sat), and trackday (sun)...for about $35+$50+$80 = $165.

[Sketchy_Racer]

Will there be track timing?

[sugilite]

Highly unlikely dude, it will be back to the good ole days with mates holding stop watches

no. it's a fun track day. start counting as you pass the finish line.

[Fatjim]

In that case I better lap under 1 min 39 seconds. What comes after 99?

[Fatjim]

[sugilite]

Yeah, but my average lap on the 10 goes somthing like this....
Faster, faster, woah BRAKE BRAKE BRAKE, shit am I gonna make it!!! Whew, faster faster, ARRRGGGGGGG BRAKE BRAKE, bloody gas it ya woose, faster, faster, SHIT!!! BRAKES BRAKES BRAKES oh, where is that laptimer thingie again?
Yep, with the trigger on the throttle and brake side, I never worked out where I ever had time to use it, we removed the left hand switch block now anyways, so cannot activate it!
Though I do like the shift light thingie! (I set mine 1000 rpm before redline)

ta

Sunday is $50 for anyone. Hadn't planned discounting again for VMCC members since you got the free day on Saturday. Will raise it with committee though.

if you can afford a bayliss i dont think 50 will have you seraching far, youll probably want change for your 1000 dollar note.
come on, non profit organisation an all

[chanceyy]

[skelstar]

Ahem... I think you'll find that both me and Joe were on the Taupo track at the same time and me and Nick were on a Manfeild one at the same time so that's enough of that young man. The Nov Taupo trackday might have 5 of us out there! If you're lucky.

[Sparky Bills]

[skelstar]

If you bike has a motor, you'll be right. You'll have a blast, no matter how quick or slow you think you are.

[the yoshie]

A big thank you to the guys from the vic club who helped at manfeild today it was an awsome day guys.

[Ivan]

yeah was awsome I hit a 1:18 on a 125 GP bike awsome, Im still stoked any pics number 59 black rs125 honda in the fast bikes

[kiwifruit]

had a great time, buggered off at lunch time in an attempt to get home dry (failed).
took it easy on the track, gave it full throttle twice i think, just being a nana and playing.
nice relaxed day, thanks heaps svs and co, was awesome :)

[Sketchy_Racer]

bugger! i didn't get to meet ya Kiwifruit!!

Did ya see me on the CanBrace 150?? green??

[kiwifruit]

yep saw you there mate, you were going well :yes:

[Racey Rider]

yeah was awsome I hit a 1:18 on a 125 GP bike awsome, Im still stoked any pics number 59 black rs125 honda in the fast bikes

Well Done Ivan!
1:18 on a 125 is a Great time round Manfield!
Faster than Adam Chambers has EVER been timed in fact!

Am I right that the Best time you where electronically timed (in the dry) on Manfield short track was at the August race day (http://www.mylaps.com/results/newResults.jsp?id=208186)last year. It shows you did a 1:30.

Great to see you've made such progress. What do you think it was that gained you this 12 seconds a lap?

[FROSTY]

hheehehheehhehee---SPRUNG

[Sketchy_Racer]

Great to see you've made such progress. What do you think it was that gain you this 12 seconds a lap?

I think the time off the bike has done him good. There was less pressure on him, so he could relax...

Everyone knows that a calm and in control racer is faster than a stressed out one!!

[Ivan]

yeahmy best recorded time is 1:24 http://mylaps.com/results/newResults.jsp?id=229536


The main thing was being relaxed and taking in adivice and rememerbing what Shaun told me you can break a whole shit load later and thats what I did and that he also told me the corner is so much wider so you can try new lines and still have 12 metres before you run of the track which helped

[Racey Rider]

I didn't see that 1:24 as it had 'Long track' on the "mylaps" page above your times. Good work.
I look forward to seeing you give Adam some hassling on the track next year.

[MattRSK]

Yeah I did about a 3:40. Was grand!

[Ivan]

hey matt you wernt that slow you musta been doing 1:40 somethings you have a lot of potential to be a good rider




And thanks Racey, I hope I am near Adam next year now the plan after kindly talking to my dadto go halves is to do Manfield and Pukekohe Nats

[ajturbo]
