Taupo road race spectacular (27-28 December)

[slowpoke]

Sorry slowpoke, but the cost for 2 days over a weekend for the full track is pretty steep, as well as extra personal required to run it. It is still something we are looking at for the future. We do have the full circuit booked for the endurance races the next day

Haha, cool ,I'll enter the endurance race, have 20 or so laps of fun and call it a day! (joking)

[Skunk]

s'funny. I'd far rather run the short track:clap:
Not the only one... whatever I'm riding.

Corners are so much better than straights.

[sidecar bob]

s'funny. I'd far rather run the short track:clap:

Another vote for the short track, If we go long track im going to nod off like i did with Wild Bill, Although i dont know what the fuck was wild about his pussy arse. The people are speaking Scrivy.

[Tony.OK]

I'll enter the endurance race, have 20 or so laps of fun and call it a day! (joking)

Need a partner?hehee............am only good for 15min though :crazy:

I'm with you on the short track dude, theres something about being able to stretch the legs of a litre bike on the full track that is very satisfying:2thumbsup

[Frenchy]

[Tony.OK]

Who would want a partner that could only go for 15 minutes!!!???? :lol:

[slowpoke]

15 minutes? I've been away from home for 3 weeks, I'll be doing well if I last 3 minutes! Er, are we talking about the same thing.....?

[slowpoke]

I'm with you on the short track dude, theres something about being able to stretch the legs of a litre bike on the full track that is very satisfying:2thumbsup

Yep, the guys on the bigger bikes generally prefer to use more than 2 gears and the tiddlers like the go-kart track.

Mind you the lil' fella's are brilliant to watch 'cos you can watch them at one corner and by the time you've walked to the next corner they are nearly there, so you can watch them all the way 'round the track....:girlfight:

[scrivy]

15 minutes? I've been away from home for 3 weeks, I'll be doing well if I last 3 minutes! Er, are we talking about the same thing.....?

Sidecar bob reckons ya have to take the matter into your own hands. Good for yourself, good for your partner too in a non-direct way.:niceone:

Oh I will dont worry, but knowing me Ill bust em again befor the Taupo gig...but theres always the missus race bikes anyway heheheheeeeeeeee

[racer40]

entries have just hit the 80 bike mark, biggest class so far is 150 s/stock/ buckets with 32. post classics, supermoto,& 600s/sport are in double figures entries close dec 14

[vtec]

Sorry, don't want to read through 19 pages of chit chat. What's happening with 250 4strokes. Will they be in the streetstock class or just F3?

I'm most probably doing the endurance race on the CBR250 if it goes ahead. Will get entry in soon.

[dangerous]

biggest class so far is 150 s/stock/ buckets withIf the class gets to big ay chance of two seperate races?
Whats the plan split start or all mixed up like?

[CM2005]

Hi ya,

Yes, day licenses are available on the day for $15

Lol, No Way?!?! Are you sure on the day :jerry::laugh:
Just kidding,
scrivy, are you allowed to Amend your entry if ya get another bike?

[scrivy]

Sorry, don't want to read through 19 pages of chit chat. What's happening with 250 4strokes. Will they be in the streetstock class or just F3?
Streetstock class - too slow for F3
I'm most probably doing the endurance race on the CBR250 if it goes ahead. Will get entry in soon.
150 S/S class ineligible to race in the junior endurance race as advised by MNZ


If the class gets to big ay chance of two seperate races? No, we will allow the max. of 42 on the grid. First in - first served.
Whats the plan split start or all mixed up like? Split start - 150's first, then buckets.



scrivy, are you allowed to Amend your entry if ya get another bike?
Yes, if same class, that's ok. If different class - only if not full.

[Toast]

Streetstock class - too slow for F3


Not with him on it at this meeting, but rules are rules, I guess.

[CM2005]

Is F3/clubmans/Pre '89 full of entries??

[racer40]

no cm2005 there is still plenty of room in those classes at presant

[Nicksta]

do you still have the rule that you can only ride one bike in one class??
can i cross enter tweety in F3 and post classics? or do i need a 2nd eligable bike?

[CM2005]

do you still have the rule that you can only ride one bike in one class??

+1
I'd like to know the same thing.

[racer40]

sorry nicksta & cm2005 we still only have the one bike, one class rule as otherwise lots would miss out on racing if everyone crossentered. If for some reason we didnt get many entries then we would consider it on day but that looks very unlickly to happen. just have to find another bike guys. we are taking up to 40 entries in each class & then reaserves that can practice but only race if 40 do not turn up on grid, if you need to know anything else i usually check site everyday

[jrandom]

40 on the grid?

It'll be elbows and knees for the win!

:girlfight:

[scrivy]

I don't know whether to go the classic chair or the 1300 freak show.....
Both are awesome fun - but which will get my rocks off the most......hmmmmm..... :niceone:
Which one will make Bob sweat more.......??? :devil2:

thats cool... my 2nd bike is off getting some love with it's owner so i guess its a relaxed day doing one class :)

Hi guys,

I'm looking forward to going along to this event. I'm especially interested in seeing the Superbikes / 600 Supersport bikes.

Does anyone know, will one day be better for seeing these bikes or will they be racing on both days?

Regards
Cookie

[wharfy]

Hi Scrivy,
I have just e-mailed you an entry for clubmans on 27th and 28th and direct credited the entry fee to the Road Race Spectacular account. I am already entered in the endurance race so figured - "while I was down there.." :)

[sosman]

Sweeeeeeet I'm gonna be racing my mates ZX10r....
Will that be to much grunt for me over my GN250? :2thumbsup

It looks like I'll have a bit of space for anyone wanting a pit. You'll be sharing with a few Bucketeers. The pit is near the pit entry. PM me if you're interested.

No problem. So that's 4 spaces for you. This is shaping up to be an expensive trip for you - with all this and the bike repairs when you get home.

[svr]

Svrivvy - If ya can't be arsed riding / racing on 27th do ya have to start at the back of the grid for the races on the 28th ? Does the qualifying race determine the grids all day?

[scrivy]

Scrivvy - If ya can't be arsed riding / racing on 27th do ya have to start at the back of the grid for the races on the 28th ? Does the qualifying race determine the grids all day?

From our entry form: 'This year will see 3 practices/qualifying on Saturday (day 1) to determine grids for race one on Sunday. On Sunday there will be a short scrub/practice followed by race 1, the results of which will determine grids for a feature race for each class that will have trophies awarded to top placegetters'

Does this help?

The BP down the rd sells race gas.

I think it's the business behind it that sells the race fuels. I'm not sure.

[scrivy]

Well we now have 217 entries!!

But more importantly, we now also have Telesport filming the race day and SpeedboxTV beaming it live around the world!!!!
This has only been achieved with the help of a great friend who never gave up finding a deal to make this happen, even in the 11th hour!!

This is great for our meeting, and great for the Tri-Series!!!

So make sure your machine looks purdy, cause if you're going for the win, or in an exciting battle, who knows, you may just get on TV and even be beamed across the world!! Talent scouts anyone........

AWESOME!! :first:

Congratualations and thanks!

You guys need to create a NEW NZ Championship, the one that exists now s only about 1000 years old in the way it is done

A Plastic trophy for first on a $45K bike:eek:

At least your team has exsposed NEW ZEALAND and the racing to the world.

Of course my comment is only a internet wank, not knocking the sport or organisers at all.

[scrivy]

This just keeps getting better and better!!!! :clap::banana:

We have sorted a deal that will see http://www.speedbox.tv/ be streamed live to internet users worldwide!! That's right, NO CHARGE TO VIEWERS!!

Tell all your sponsors, (and family and friends that can't be there on the day), to log on to the above link if they want to catch their valued sponsored riders!! Spread the word quickly!!

This is fantastic news for all the racers, as the entirety of your race will be shown and commentated on!! Remember also, that this is a streaming event, not a download, so it won't put you over on your internet data caps/usage plans!!

Oh, and 1 last rave, a vital sponsor of the TV deal has agreed to supply some rather impressive prizes for the winners of each class at the Road Race Spectacular.

awesome event again guys and gals... thanks heaps!

will you be posting the results or a link to access placings??

only thing i can suggest is a lot of us racers/support crew agreed that we wouldnt mind paying a little bit extra to get the showers opened up for us as 3 days at the track is a long time if we're camping and sweating it out all day!

looking forward to next year :)

Another thing that i would like to see is some more flags, like a de voted flag to a bike down on the track (maby waving yellow) as well as a devoted flag for oil and one for a hazzard off track.... but you will not need to care about that for like another 11 months...

Yeah I already mentioned that, I noticed a lack of flag stations compared to down here, ohh and the 'blue' flag is bloody handy (warns you are about to be laped/passed at sped)

only thing i can suggest is a lot of us racers/support crew agreed that we wouldnt mind paying a little bit extra to get the showers opened up for us as 3 days at the track is a long time if we're camping and sweating it out all day!
looking forward to next year :)


Showers would be great!!!
And I'll be there again to help out....with flags:confused:

So where would you add more flag stations in a way that they would be protected in the case of a crashing bike? Just woundering...

Hi everyone,
Chris Lawrance and I have decided to put our necks on the line again, and once again hold the Taupo Road Race Spectacular this year.
Please find the entry form attached.
Hope you can all make it - great value for money! (and you may even walk off with a spot prize too!!)

Cheers,
