[Toast]

What's the max number of classes that one can enter? Clubmans, F2 and F1 allowed?

[Goblin]

If you enter clubmans you cant enter any other class.

[F5 Dave]

Aiming to go if my F4 bucket is finished.

Camping in the pits whoaa!

RG50s did 108 (indicated 118) on the flat with ideal conditions with a largeass like me on it on the road std bog stock with all of 5 & a bit hp. 110 with a whippet is well easy.

[Ivan]

YEAH RG


my RG got clocked at 120 on speedo so 100 on the road pretty fast and that wernt going for it that was when it was road legal im sure ill get 110 max

[fallofalot]

Finally Got my cb125t running sweet, with a 5th place at the Mt Welly 2 hr this weekend.

Looking forward to Taupo, sending off my registration today. I spoke to Chris Lawrence this morning. He has only 2 registrations so far and wants a min of 10 by 10th December. So if you're keen get your registrations in soon. We need numbers to ensure the class runs. :Punk:

[MSTRS]

If anyone wants to enter the buckets but don't have a bike.... http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/showpost.php?p=821196&postcount=1

naaa i aint got no KX... Im just winding up Ivan.....

you stupid boy.... should have said "yer i got one"... lol

i found out this weekend at the bucket 2hr.... that we had the gearing all wrong for the taupo track...i thought we used the 15 tooth front sprocket... to find that we only had the 13 tooth on... when i took the rg out, down the straight i was topping out by the old start finish line.... then i thought i had better back off... didn't want to over rev the poor weee thing.. so i think it would have gone a LOT faster.... grrrr.

any excuse to get rid of all the opostion eh?
you do know that we were running 4th till he got knocked off....:innocent:
we were on the camo rg50.......
my race report later....

[fallofalot]

Sorry mate, the pic shows me riding the demo bike (89) some time ago. I was riding number 7, not 89. by the way I did see the the young fella taken off at hells corner by two front runners which was unnecessary. Consider that there were two riders per bike, I'm certain I never took anybody out,

Hope Luke's ok and sticks with it.

bugger so i cannot blame you....:done:
i only saw him lying on the track on the first crash... hahaha
then the second one on the SAME corner i managed to watch!!! i was impressed! he did it under POWER!!!! (YES UNDER POWER!!)

he was out there about 10min later... pissed me off, as i wanted to stay out longer... the second time it took a bit longer.. then he came in after about 15min saying he was stuffed..... what are kids made of nower days?

[fallofalot]

Yeah, I felt a bit sorry for the young fella he was doing ok. I was in the pits when I saw him standing on the side of the track the second time. Don't know what happened tho'. Is he still keen to race ??

Was that you with the GT 125 twin, I spoke to a couple of times. First time I've seen one of those at Mt Welly. Seemed to handle the track quite well.

all i can say is that he is pissed off that he will be in nelson for the dec. meet... he wants to know when the next one is, so he can kick ya butt!... oh and catch up with his 2 new girlfriends ( yes 2!!:Punk: )

yer it was my 125, but as i spoke to MOST of the people at the track i cannot remember all the faces sorry,
why didn't we use the 125?...
luke had not have any time on it, he has used it in the past, but never realy liked the set up ( girly woos) and i enjoyed riding his bike... but the power of mine would have had us in the top......... 10, but then again i would have been the one who fell off the most... lol there is no ground clearence on the right hand side.....i would like to ask the person who wrote in the rule book that we need rear brakes.......WHY?????
it would give me an extra 10mm!!! and at my speed i need all the help i can get..
but yes it did like the track.... two wheel drift around the top right hander ( after the hair pin)... man the tyres i have a good!!!

[Sketchy_Racer]

Hey Andrew, wanna carry a Bike to taupo and bunch of shit along with it (=Me) ???

Thats if its not a major inconvenience....
I don't mind... we'll be there for the Saturday and Sunday.

Oh, it'll be a long walk back for you as we're going to Tauranga after.
Mmmm, how much shit? As last time or more?

[Sketchy_Racer]

Um probably a medium size box for Jets and sprokets etc....

Maybe a tool box aswell, Unless you were to take one?

But, umm yeah a walk back from taupo is a long way.

Even to ride back, I would have to stop half way for a piston change :p

I think It will probably be best if i can weasle my brother to take me, as it would be nice to take all the spares like fairings and stuff....

[Ivan]

[Sketchy_Racer]

When i said 'smoke' us, you mis-read.

I really did mean smoke us on that tractor :p

[Skunk]

Piss off, it doesn't smoke. I'm sulking now.

[Sketchy_Racer]

[ajturbo]

[Skunk]

[ajturbo]

ask "gav" nicely, he may have one of his pink bike ... i sprayed 3 buckets bright pink... even died a pair of O'all's and painted my helmet pink ( the O'all's went over the top of my leathers.....)

[Skunk]

Dare you to go Kelly Green.

[bumsex]

does anyone know what is happening with the camping side of things?

Do we bring a tent or sleep in the pits or what???

[Skunk]

From the Acceptance form:
Free camping at the track for competitors and family. No showers.

[t3mp0r4ry nzr]

Do you need to pre-enter to come along to the practice session or is entry on the day possible?

[F5 Dave]

practice from 10am-4pm it sez on the form, entry on day if missed cutoff.

Just a big field to camp in, or sleep in van which is easier if you are lazy. :yes:


Entry form with info on page one at bottom

[Meekey_Mouse]

Hey, what time does it all start and finish? Also, will it be at the new pit lane end or the old one?

[F5 Dave]

. . . Entry form with info on page one at bottom,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

[t3mp0r4ry nzr]

just to clarify, can I attend practice on saturday without a manz license and wear cordua. ie. bike and rider isnt going to be scrutineered as in a race meet;pay $30 and im away laughing?

[Hellraiser]

I just found out today from the organisers that there are spaces left for racing on Sunday, I was looking at racing Clubman but i am unable to get my hands on an extra fat person size leather jacket b4 the end of the year.

I was told that i would be able to ride on the saturday using my leather pants and cordua Jacket so long as my jacket ziped all the way around my pants not just at the back. You still need to fill in the form and get it back to them ASAP, no MNZ licence needed for Saturday & on the form under class put "road rider" and pay on the day.

See you guys down there ........

[ajturbo]

Dare you to go Kelly Green.
kelly green????.... i was thinking BLACK..

[Skunk]

It is black you plonker.

[speedpro]

I've got a black bucket as well. Black buckets are fast :yes: F5 thinks I should go up with him. It's a very tempting thought. Think I might call Jimmy the Bastard and see what he's doing those days.

[Skunk]

F5's isn't black. It's fast.
And mines green. Mines fast.

Pity I'm not...

And you had better be coming to race.

[Wasp]

doesnt look like im going to make it to watch, unless someone can pick me up from where I'm staying in Turangi and drop me home again? preferablly in car as i dont want to take my leathers unless i have to

[F5 Dave]

Well my 125 will have it's first outing & it really isn't all that powerful (damn 24mm carb rule is bollocks!) but then again it isn't black.

It's orange - The New Black!:scooter:

[Sketchy_Racer]

The sad thing is, that Daves bucket 125 will probably smoke my GP 125....

[FROSTY]

dave--this track will be haps of fun on a bucket

[F5 Dave]

Cool, I'm limited on gearing so not sure if I will be ok, wonder what top speed I would expect to pull, I have an enormous 51 on the back.

having said that is the short new part only, but I've never seen it.

I dunno, would a RG150 get to 140kph? in that new area (being that I will be on less powerful bike but lighter, actually bike & rider combo about the same I guess. . . sigh).

[Skunk]

Trackday! I'm there for the racing.

[FROSTY]

dave --the "small" track is still pretty darn good --in my opinion it keeps all the best bits of the track.

[kiwifruit]

as frosty says, the new "small" part of the track is great

[Kyle]

Cor blimey, i didnt see buckets on the entry form, you mean we have to sit around waiting for them to complete what 6 whole laps? Think im gonna take a book, heh heh ;)

But seriously is anyone else going? seems like the posts here are dominated by the bucket/125 peeps. I entered my standard, old, beat up and worn out 1994 cbr600 in clubmans. I know theres at least one vfr400 going to be in clubmans but im hoping for some other 600`s or bigger for a challange. This will be my last clubmans race ever. After this i have to either go f2 and get my arse handed to me, or get a compeditive bike and go f2 with a vengence, or turn my old cbr back into a road bike and settle down, but i cant see that last one happening.

Just thought id point out, there does appear to be a $10 entry fee for spectators on the sunday, who turn up after.. 8:30am i think it said. And i do hope they have a place for camping, because the pit area and parking lot is all tar seal, not the best place to set up a tent. Also people that didnt pre enter dont qualify for the spot prizes according the entry form.

still nearly 7 days away and im getting nervous already. Merry racing and a happy new racing year to every one!

[Steve_R6R]

Does anyone know if there is any power available at the track for tyre warmers, compressors etc?
Cheers

[Skunk]

You can race with us. Just don't get in our way eh. ;)

[speedpro]

You can race with us. Just don't get in our way eh. ;)

"After this i have to either go f2 and get my arse handed to me"

What Skunk said.

You won't have to wait till "after" to have your arse handed to you. F5 has the option of riding my bucket. That should sort out the "arse-handing" business on the day.

[Kickaha]

Cor blimey, i didnt see buckets on the entry form, you mean we have to sit around waiting for them to complete what 6 whole laps? Think im gonna take a book, heh heh ;)

And the buckets will still probably kick your arse :bleh:

The new short track is a good fast bucket track, even better than Ruapuna B track :yes:

[Skunk]

No idea but I wouldn't plan on it. Take your own generator if you can.

[Sketchy_Racer]

D'oh!

I had my first crash on the 125 today.

I was going for the mad dash trying to set a shit hot lap.... pinned under the fairings trying to get each little last amount of speed down the straights...

Man it was awesome.... Ringing the neck outta this thing....

I was trying really really hard to get my knee down (wank wank) but couldnt do it.....

On the final lap, last turn, i did the biggest attempt to get my knee down. OMG i did it.... damn im cool.... then all of a sudden the bike just fell out from under me.... Whoosh..gone.. on my arse..

Damaged the tail fairing and generally fucked me off..

That'll teach me for racing on the paddoc stand :p

[Skunk]

You dork! :killingme

[Sketchy_Racer]

Pure class mate.... pure class

[Sketchy_Racer]

Will there be a photographer at this event?

And Andrew, Can you please bring you digital camera? i'll get some shots of you, if you get some shots of me :innocent:

I just finised programming my ECU... got the fuel injection running just right now :p

hehehe... shame its so damn far away and just before Nelson street race too

F5: you BETTER take that offer of the use of Speedpros bike, or i will come up there and kick your butt!

She may be persuaded to take one or two pics of you.

and I can vouch for the photographer, she's pretty damn good! ;)
