Team Pie Boy Racing (The Team Managers point of view)
Having to miss a round or two this season I thought I’d take the season off and make get some of the work done on the bikes, sidecar and other projects I’ve got lying around, with that in mind I decided I’d still like my bikes on the track and went looking for a rider who would do the equipment justice.
After multiple applicants and carefully perusing their CVs Bren_chch was selected for the ride, his contract was negotiated and the equipment handed over.:yes:
At round one he did rather well and ran in the top 5 while he familiarised him self with the bike, so coming into Round 2 on the short B track with the full backing of “Team Pie Boy racing” we were expecting good results
As well as supplying him with one of Yamahas finest (1981 RD350LC) we handed over the mighty Suzuki FXR150RR works bike
Practice Buckets
This goes off with out a problem but Bren_chch obviously having been to the Max Biaggi School of excuses comes in complaining of a flat spot on the FXR :mad: and it’s immediately obvious that we may have made a mistake with his selection having missed his negative attitude and the impact it may have on the team
Practice Pre82
Diesel Pig doesn’t even make a lap before he breaks his bike (fuck he’s hard on gear):lol: JJ58 and DC look like the men to beat, Bren_chch circulates ok and looks like he’s capable of running top 5 (providing everyone else blows up or breaks down)
Race 1 Buckets
Bren_chch is a bit late to the grid and gets a less than ideal position in a field of 30 buckets and as the flag drops he gets blocked in, he slowly picks a few off to get on the back of the second group behind Dangerous and Spudracer and chases them around for a bit, despite his obvious power to weight ratio advantage over Spudracer he seems unable to pass (if you want the answer to the question ”who ate all the pies” Spudracer is the man to ask) finally he pulls his head out of his arse and passes them both to finish in the top ten (don’t ask where I wasn’t paying attention) after having a little off track excursion on the final lap. (much like OAB earlier)
Race 1 Pre82
Bren_chch is wandering around the pits looking for pies and seems oblivious to the fact that Pre82 has been called up, but finally he works out he should be on the dummy grid and casually wanders over to fire up the bike:scooter:
Warm up lap and he’s a real eager beaver getting up on the front row along with Dangerous, Dangerous having realised he wasn’t man enough for the 750 Katana he previously raced has traded it on a RD350LC:bleh:
Off the line and the big four strokes mow them down, pushing hard on lap one to stay with the front group Bren_chch tips into the s bends and makes it as far as the left hander before he looses the front and falls on his arse, he pops up like a meerkat and after getting his breath back picks up the bike and pushes back to the pits where is the subject of laughter and ridicule (especially as it is all caught on video) Spudracer being the suck up that he is lets Stanko take the flag just in front of him so he doesn’t get kicked off his Team Stanko provided bike
With a rooted helmet Bren decides to call it a day (temporarily at least)
Race2 Buckets
By the time this rolls around Bren_chch has recovered somewhat from the bash on the head and Deviant Esquire lends him a helmet to continue, TonyB makes it about 100 metres onto the track before he retires due to mechanical incompetence:shifty:
DC is 4th off the line and 1st by the hairpin, JJ58 takes him at the end of the s bends, but after a couple of laps DC pulls the pin and buggers off, Bren_chch is a lowly 12th with both Spudracer and Stanko in front of him, he manages to get past them both and gets into the top 10 yet again
Race 2 Pre82
With Bren_chch having said he wasn’t going out after falling on his head, his contract is immediately renegotiated and the Bike handed over the Diesel Pig who sets about straightening the damage and quickly bashes it all straight
Diesel Pig takes it easy for a lap or two and eventually catches up to and engages in a 4 way battle with Dangerous, Stanko and Spudracer, swapping positions each lap until he gets the better of them (Dangerous wasn’t much of a challenge anyway):no:
Fuck knows where he finished as I wasn’t counting
With that race over the officials call the meeting closed due to problems with the low afternoon sun, and thus disappoint the legion of fans (that means the lovely Joni) that have made the difficult trip to Ruapuna B track to support “Team Pie Boy racing”
