sweet thanks for your interest,theres also at least 5-6 others so far an it looks like theres gana be more ill keep ya posted on numbers cause we need at least 5-6 to warrant a race an then its on,to be confirmed with interest an head count sat afternoon of others an its looking good,motards have always been able to race at buckets just not many if any turn up one thing that has come to my attention is the two rider aspect as some of the bikes are expensive an if someone wants to race but don't have a partner,the only reason its 2x man is cause the bucket race is a once a year event and a 2 hour race with 2 people,my event to get motards racing there an so i can ride can be changed an poss might end up for this event 2x 50-60 lap races on sun with one rider,also the lap times an places will need to kept track of by a friend for overall placement in the races,grid places for the first race might have to be first in an then start the second starting positions from first race finish.The main thing is to get at least 5-6 motards there sat an practice then well be able to start sun be it 1x man 50-60 lap races or one 2x man one hour race ill keep every one posted on people interested on race format over this week but its looking good

Yep,been advised from john connor that the motard guys like to go straight through on the back straight (cut out the horse shoe) which means you can get your bike up the speed and it ain't boring the lap times are around 20secs but i was gana see what everyone wanted to do if there's anoth people attending.Ive just spoken to a few guys this arvo an they want to use the whole track which is what i want do too,so it's prob gana be the whole track anticlockwise with the infield hore shoe lap times will be around 25-30sec and i've also confirmed about 5 riders since this afternoon so it's gana happen an also fine weather is coming our way after fri,see ya there

sign in at mt wellington sun is 8.00-8.30 riders briefing 9.30 cost $30 but to be honest
i don't think there will be motards racing on sun if at least 5 bikes don't turn up sat because of interest and weather.I only no of 3x people that are keen and me i'll have to see how many turn up sat,ill be there an have a practice saturday, i'll be there from one sat, because of short notice and other events on sunday there's other guys that are keen but can't make it.Hopefully next time we'll be able to have a race and i'll let every one no of the next date in plenty of time.If we do have enough riders there sat and it's confirmed there will be a race start sun i'll post on here sat evening see how it go's.
