Does anyone know if any of the races will be on the long circuit?

The original entry form I'm pretty sure stated that it was on the long circuit, but the above seems to indicate otherwise.

[Sketchy_Racer]

Hey whats the deal if we just wanna go out there and race but don't care about getting timed or not.

I don't want to hire a transponder, will i still be allowed out on the track??

It simple Glen..... No transponder means you dont get timed for qualifying, that means YOU wont qualify :weep: and therefore nobody will reserve a grid position for you so you cant race aye .

Aint life a simple program !!!!!.

[Sketchy_Racer]

I don't mind starting from last place if i don't qualify.. its 125GP and there aint more than 35 bikes in there :)

So what you are saying is that all the other guys / girls that race with the cost of a transponder are silly and we should all be able to knock $30.00 per day of our expenses and race without one ??? .
Stop being tight and if you want to race then conform with what we all have to do .
If your health is ok to race the event then its healthy enough to qualify like all of us and pay the fees like all of us.
It seems the crux to it is you want to save the $30.00. :no:

[Sketchy_Racer]

A couple of reasons the be honest,

1: It's the two day race meet. and it's been charged for hire on both days. (Yes my budget is that tight thank you. )

2: I don't think im going to compeditive next round, so why waste another $60 if it's not going to achieve me anything? that could pay my travel fuel to the track.

3: I have an issue with the hireage of the transponders. But that's beside the point

Turns out you can't race without one, So i think im going to give it a miss and do a track day instead. More track time for less $$

the enduro/longer races should be a bit of fun aganst the big boys ay....

[t3mp0r4ry nzr]

that format sounds exciting, cant wait, new bike and lots of laps to get familiar with it, no points for putting it down on its first outing tho!

I see a test day scheduled for the friday. 3 days of track riding anyone?

With what mechanics and oil companies charge I'd be cheaper skipping the servicing and just swapping engines.

Changing the oil is such a piece of wees even a foreigner scootish chap like yaself could do it so save the BIG BOY chatter and be a BIG BOY by takin the plunge to change your own oil. You can do it in ya kilt Jimmy.
$30.00 and half an hour is nuffin to spend to preserve an engine.
As the saying goes "its cheap insurance mate ".
If you need a hand then ask and it will be provided !!!
I hate seeing CBRs sadly withering.
Cheers Paul.

[VasalineWarrior]

I dont know if anyone has raised this point, but fuel range for those of us who swap bikes or do back to back races is going to be an issue with 25 minute sesions. I wonder if VicMC can make a designated safe area of pitlane so we can gass up before heading out again, or will there be time to shoot back into the pits?

I wouldn't worry, there'll be plenty of bikes getting scraped off the track between endurance races.

These races are acually not endurance races they are just longer races endurance races are about 6hrs

It may not be testing the endurance of most of our bikes, but it will be testing my office arse to its limit.

1 thing I dont understand with members on this site who race for the Vic Club is when u have any questions u want answered about the race meetings that the Vic Club run why u have to ask on here instead of doing what Nasty has suggested a few times and get in contact directly with the administration with any questions u may have that u would like answered by those who could give u the correct answer.

Here's how it works at present:

-Someone asks a question about a race meet on this forum
-Someone who is associated with the club or who has already asked answers that question
-100 people who would have asked benefit

And you think it's better that it works like this:

-100 people call the VicClub and then send an email when they can't get through, and the VicClub administrators have 100 more emails to answer that they don't really need the hassle of.

Which is better?

The problem is that this is is not the Vic Club site ... it has been agreed by the committee that if there is a question raised people should email the Vic club itself for the answer. This is not the appropriate forum for questions to be answered. People can share any answer they receive from the club through this forum that is their choice.

There are a number of members on this site but there are more that are not here, the decisions need to come from a single source and that is from the secretary or race chair at the club itself.

Hope that clarifies why I answer and suggest emailling the club itself, and that you can see that sharing answers from them is ok.

Churr Nicksta. The problem with asking Vic Club questions on this forum is that you can't be sure that it will get picked up by the person who has the answers. If we are aware we will probably provide an answer. But many of us don't want to turn this forum into work, don't scan all the threads or aren't even members. Also, there have been times (not many) when we have been disrespected for not responding to questions posed on this forum. People can say what they like on here if the mods are willing to let it slide, but if you have a question for Vic Club admin just e-mail us.

Easy peezy, the bike becomes harder to start when they tighten up.

As for Tom's bike, it drinks like a Kiwi in a London bar. I think he should put a pipe from the end of his exhaust back into the fuel tank

Mate. I've been in training all month. I'm down to 20 durries a day:msn-wink:. 25 mins should be easy as. However, just in case I start to flag, I have arranged for some scones and tea to be left out on the back straight. I'm sure the order can be doubled. A wee stop isn't likely to affect my placing.

Anyone passing through Hamilton that could help me out? I won this auction a while back: http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=115529146 and I found out shipping is gonna cost way too much. Anyone got space in their van/trailer that can take them to Manfeild?

I have one spare spot available in a Pit Lane Garage for Sat & Sun.
One of the four people who was going to share a Pit Lane Garage with us on Sat & Sun has pulled out so we are looking for one racer to make up the numbers and more importantly to share the cost of course. We will be at the Test day tomorrow so I will canvas around people there and hopefully find someone. If anyone is interested you can try PM me (but I won't be able to answer you until tomorrow night) or preferably come and see me tomorrow at the Test Day - I am the old geezer that hangs around trying to help my son Troy (Gunner) who races the "Motomart" CBR600RR #161 in Clubmans.
