THE GREAT KB TRACK DAY 6
TAUPO RACEWAY FULL TRACK


28 OCTOBER 2007

For all KB members to come and have a ball and improve their riding in a safe, fun environment.


I'M SORRY THERE WILL BE NO MORE PREPAY ENTRIES
3 DIFFERENT speed/experience levels from novice to racers. 3 SEPARATE groups. Groups will be Slow, Med, Fast. First session will include a novice group. Numbers per class will be limited to ensure a safe track time.

Weather permitting, I promise you won’t go home wanting more track time.
The track is positively HUGE so don't be worried about holding anyone up or being held up. There's tonnes of room.

There will be a HOT DRINK vendor at the track all day for those that need a hot drink or that caffeine buzz.

A 12 INCH SUBWAY SUB be able to be ordered at sign-on -- delivered at 12.30 ish. There will be a hot food wagon doing hot chips, etc, all day.

St Johns Ambulance WILL be in attendance and there will be trained/experienced marshals around the track.

AND -- Raceline options - AN EXPERIENCED RACER

For the novice, slow or medium guys n gals that are thinking about going racing or are currently racing & specifically want to know a race line around the circuit - I can offer to run around on it for two or three laps at a slow pace , Anyone interested will need to make yourself known to me in the Kiwi Biker pit garage. Groups of up to two or three at a time.
Look for my silver SV #17, or tap on Frosty's shoulder & he will point me out.
Cheers
Glen Williams

ALL ATTENDING TRACK DAY PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING CAREFULLY
Have a read below and it should cover it all off

THE ONUS IS ON YOU TO GET YA BIKE/GEAR UP TO SCRATCH

As a guideline a roadbike needs to be up to WOF standard and a racebike needs to be up to normal raceday sxcrutineering
READ BELOW for specifics that are NOT NEGOTIABLE

TYRES MUST BE A MINIMUM OF 2.0MM OF TREAD ROUND THE CENTERLINE
.-- (slicks to have visible wear dots/dimples)

BOTH FRONT AND REAR BRAKES MUST BE OPERATIONAL

BOTH HANDLEBAR LEVERS MUST HAVE BALL ENDS.

FOOTPEGS AND HANDLEBARS MUST BE SECURELY MOUNTED

HANDLE BAR ENDS MUST HAVE SOLID PLUGS IN THE ENDS AND MUST BE FIRMLY SECURED --NO open tube ends -THIS SPECIFICALLY EXCLUDES RUBBER HANDLEBAR GRIPS COVERING THE END OF THE BARS IT MUST BE SOLID
(PLASTIC WINE CORKS MAKE GOOD PLUGS)

.Mirrors removed or taped up.-again No glass to fall on the track

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 as are indicators

Pack rack uppers to be removed -L arms to be taped over-preferably plugged.(plastic wine corks are good for this )


No sharp/edges/loose parts hanging down/sticking out from the bike this includes front fender and plastic fairing sides--If in doubt DUCT TAPE is your freind. .

Camera mounts are a specific area of concern.they are as a rule not allowed especially any tank mounted ones
basicly if it might impale you as you rotate forward in a crash or as you fly sideways in a highside then its a no go
The tank mount type are just plain deadly and it aint negotiable -but those bullet type that tape into the fairing are all good

Chain needs to be correctly tensioned

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.
No holes in contact areas
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.

Personal conduct--
This SHOULD not need to be stated But .TRACKDAYS ARE ALCOHOL FREE ZONES -Noone under the influence of alchohol will be allowed on the track and NO alchohol to be consumed whilst the day is running.
After the day is over is fine
Riding in a blatently dangerous manner will not be tolerated.
You need to hold a current motorcycle road licence or race licence.
If in doubt fix it. If it isnt up to scratch you won't be going on the track.
I believe this applies to other track day organisers but It would be innapropriate to speak on their behalf
-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 -Form back up on the dummy grid . 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) Waved Chequred flags at all flag points means end of session. Once you see a chequred flag pull into the pits,DO NOT continue riding -ANYONE trying to sneak an extra lap will miss out on the next session.
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 the track closes for the day.-by riders or spectators.(anyone in your pit area drinking is your responsibility)
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 control and they MUST wear a fluro vest --- 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)Sesssion flags will be displayed at track control -3 blasts on a foghorn are to tell you next session is up--the flags will be changed to the next session .

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, 1 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 .

Insuring your bike for track days.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Guys n gals I've been asked about bike insurance cover whilst on the Taupo Track
Specificly during a KB track day.
Once again please let me cover this off once and for all
Insurance cover /exclusion is the responsibility of the individual rider to organise.
However as I have made VERY clear in the past
The Kiwibiker trackday in no way is or ever will be a RACE meeting, pacemaking, a reliability trial, speed test or a timed EVENT.
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

As with EVERY track day I have ever run there will be specific 1 on 1 rider training taking place during the day.

From day one I have made it clear that my trackdays are for the specific purpose of improving your individual riding skills in a safe,controlled enviroment. As such you could say they have always been rider training days.

Anyone unsure how they individually stand in regards to this needs to contact their insurance company.

FROSTY
2nd May 2007, 19:30
Food --Ill be organising a limited range of subway subs for those that want them to be ordered at sighn on
There will be a coffee vendor open all day
For a few hours in the middle of the day a hot chip/hot dog vendor will be open

2nd May 2007, 19:30
PITS/PIT GARAGES.
ive spoken to JACKY at Taupo track she has agreed to rent out the
Garages are at the VERY special price of $200 each for our trackday
I know that sounds a lot but
For this money you get.
a 4-6 car sized Garage 10m x10m with fluro lighting.
THERE IS ENOUGH ROOM FOR 8 RACE BIKES COMPLETE WITH WARMERS /WORK ON THE BIKES--EVEN FULL WHEEL SWAP OUTS AND NO INTERFERENCE BETWEEN INDIVIDUAL BIKES AT ALL -EVERY BIKE CAN COME AND GO FROM THE GARAGE WITHOUT PASSING OR INTERFERING WITH ANOTHER BIKE
with a bit of carefull positioning Id suggest that even 10 RACEBIKES would be easily done (might be a squeeze)
The garages are 10.0m square -with 4 single car roller doors -2 each end

To give you an idea how big--they have 4 holden v8 sized roller doors and will fit 4 holden V8's with room to spare
Running water and (at least) 4 electric power points for tyre warmers electric drills etc.
The garage will fit a very MINIMUM of 8 bikes with literally room tons of room around em to work on the bikes Id say more likely each garage will without trouble fit 10 -15 bikes if you arent working on em
10 of ya get together and bingo $20 buck each
Call JACKY on 07 3765033 to book a garage --or just get one on the day

Colapop
2nd May 2007, 19:33
IM MAKING A FEW CHANGES TO SMOOTH THINGS OUT FOR THIS TRACKDAY.
1)END OF EACH SESSION WILL HAVE A CHECKERED FLAG DISPLAYED AT ALL MARSHAL POINTS.

2)THE LOUD HAILER WILL BE ABANDONED FOR CHANGE OF SESSION BACK TO .3 BLASTS ON THE FOGHORN 2 MINUTES BEFORE SESSION START

3)LUNCH WONT BE UNTILL ALL GROUPS HAVE HAD AT LEAST 2 TRACK SESSIONS.

4)A TYRE DEPTH GAUGE WILL BE AT SCRUTINEERING -2.0MM ON THE CENTERLINE IS MINIMUM TREAD DEPTH FOR ROAD TYRES -
5)SESSION FLAGS WILL BE DISPLAYED CLEARLY HANGING OFF THE CONTROL BOX

this should smooth out a few of the issues from TD5

3rd June 2007, 06:54
Just like to reinforce some of the issues with bikes at scrutineering,
There were quite a few with weeping fork seals, some not bad, some almost bad enough to warrant failing.
Quite a few with loose footrests, c'mon guys, it's only a matter of tightening a bolt or two.
I think three with no back brakes (at least two anyhoo) :nono: , now this is a real safety issue, it's ok to say 'I never use it anyhoo' but I've been to a trackday where a guy's front brake lever actually fell off, so what are ya gonna do then huh? Shit does happen! At least with a rear brake you can scrub off a little speed before you spear the wall or one of your fellow kBers, or at least you have the option to lay it down. If you turn up with no rear you don't ride,simple.
No bitching, you have 6 months or so to get it all sorted :zzzz:

Rules of the day re bike CONDITION are CLEARLY SHOWN -IN POST 2
jUST AS A REMINDER
TYRES MUST BE A MINIMUM OF 2.0MM OF TREAD ROUND THE CENTERLINE
.-- (slicks to have visible wear dots/dimples)

BOTH FRONT AND REAR BRAKES MUST BE OPERATIONAL

BOTH HANDLEBAR LEVERS MUST HAVE BALL ENDS.

HANDLE BAR ENDS MUST HAVE SOLID PLUGS IN THE ENDS AND MUST BE FIRMLY SECURED --NO open tube ends (PLASTIC WINE CORKS MAKE GOOD PLUGS)

Basicly dont blame us if ya dont get on the track.

Anyone taking a trailer or van up from Wellington to Taupo for this? Got space for a ZXR750 and a short fat bloke?

I'd rather not ride up, and I certainly don't want to find myself needing to ride back down with a mullered bike and a compound fracture to the femur...

Not that I'm at all fatalistic about these things.

Happy to contribute to travel costs, obviously.

Yeah, its suitable for anyone who wants to learn another stage of their riding.
No more risky or scary than riding on the road. Go at your own pace, ask questions and enjoy.

I'm fairly keen to avoid a repeat of last time, so is there anyone who would be able to do a bike inspection the weekend before? Give me a chance to fix anything before the day.

Obviously the bike'd still need to pass on the day.

I have a question or two... My bike is up and running and back on the road... What sort of wear am I going to take out of my tyres on a track day? (Bearing in mind I have not been on a track day before) How about brakes? Will I need to arrange new tyres and pads so I can get home? What is the risk that I might bin? I know these may seem like dumbarse questions but I don't know about track riding and stuff like that...

13th September 2007, 18:59
Col... it's all relative really... being a first time trackday rider you'll not have much wear on tyres and brakes I'd imagine... and as to chance of binning... well that's down to how much you can control your right hand.

Even if you go pretty hard, your tyres should be fine unless they're shagged to start with (but Frosty won't let you on the track if they are).
Just make sure its up to warrantable standard and you'll be fine.
The chance of binning is pretty low, as long as you know your limits of talent.

Phone Kiwibike and change your insurer if they won't cover you for the track.

No problems for me as long as I tell them a bit before and get it approved and on the file.

As with everything in life no system is perfect-- I'd hope that ALL riders have the inteligence to ensure their bikes are up to scratch before even fronting at scrutineering. In the same way as i'd hope NO rider would be stupid enough to front up to ride after a big night on the booze
In either case if caught there will be no riding

Yes, read that Frosty and fully compliant. Took my RAV4 on a track day at Pukekohe and the instructor advised me to increase tyre pressure by another 5-6 psi. Do I need to increase my bike's pressure?

Increase? Last track day I droped my tyre presures by about 4 psi frount and rear, and that was about right on the money for me.

Definately don't increase them. My K5's pressures are supposed to be about 38 front, 36 rear for road use (or higher).
Track I use around 32 Front and 30 rear.....I keep similar pressures on the road too (I like them similar to track pressure, just a little higher).

The full story is that I never intended to take my RAV on the track but the instructor wanted to take 4 passengers in a vehicle to show them the lines.

After the first lap he pulled in to put in the extra pressure in the tyres. He was pleasantly surprised at the handling of it but, you're right, the brakes wouldn't have coped with much more. I only did another 2 laps.

That's why I asked the question about increasing tyre pressure.

This could be one expensive exercise for Frosty if we don't get the numbers for the 28th and if those who can't make it want refunds.

It's not his fault - so if those who can't make it don't ask for refunds it may make it easier on his cashflow (for now). Whats the numbers like Frosty? Should we all be trying to talk more non-KBers into coming on the 28th?

Mate, if you can take 'em off, then do. Duct tape is a better plan for the speedo, stops you staring in curiosity. You want as few distractions as possible, and to ride to the course and engine/handling.
I can help you with the road riding now and again, but we've got rellies in at the minute. Once they're gone, I'm more than willing to join you for a run out, advice or a chat, whichever you prefer.
You must remeber that I'm a new plastic kiwi though, so some bits are still new to me (hence my recent ticketing.).

For the novice, slow or medium guys n gals that are thinking about going racing or are currently racing & specifically want to know a race line around the circuit - I can offer to run around on it for two or three laps at a slow pace , Anyone interested will need to make yourself known to me in the Kiwibiker pit garage. Groups of up to two or three at a time.
Look for my silver SV #17, or tap on Frosty's shoulder & he will point me out.

This will help trackday novice riders decide which group they are going in

How is the fast/med/slow split going to break down, roughly?

Under the old system, I was going to move up to the slow/medium group from the very slow group.

With the new system, should I stay in the slow group, or move up to medium?

Just one quick reminder .Due to insurance conciderations it goes without saying (actually it does say in the rules if ya read em) that anybody intending to ride at any KB track day holds either a current road licence for the bike they are intending to ride OR hold a race licence -This is covered off in the indemnity form you sighn before going on the track
I dont have time to scan 100 odd licences so I have to assume that you read the indemnity form and when sighning it would be telling the truth.

Just wanted to let the organisers of the trackday know that daytony will be coming up to the trackday with me but won't be riding, thus perhaps opening a place for someone else. We don't care about the bucks but would hate someone to miss out, who could perhaps ride.
Unfortunately daytony dropped his bike on sunday, doing 90k, when a car turned sharply and suddenly in front of him without indicating! He has a sprained wrist and can't ride. Luckily his gear and helmet did their job and he'll be over it soon enough. Trumpy may take a little longer to fix!
I was following behind and watching my dear mate tumble along the road was one of the most horrific moments in my life.
Thanks to paul in nz for his very generous assistance.

Hey frosty this my first time on my trackbike ........... I have no race license but have got full road license. Surely that doesnt matter for a trackday !!!!!:headbang:
sorry dude Ill edit the post
ONE rule for KB trackdays (and Moto TT readng their website) is you must Hold a currently valid motorcycle licence of some sort.That means EITHER a CURRENT valid mnz race licence OR a current valid motorcycle road licence
When you sighn the indemnity form you are stating as part of it that you hold a licence to ride a bike
Being the trusting guy I am I assume everybody is telling the truth when they sigh an official document
Unless I have verification to the contrary--Fact not heresay
