Cowpoos Race report!! mine feild 22-23rd sept

[cowpoos]

First of all an apology for the lack of a race report last round...as I did actually write one...but when I posted it...dam KB disappeared for two days and I losted it!!

Before this round the gixxer was sent up to RCM performance for long over due dyno tuning...took it up the week before and left it with boomer over night and both our bikes were taken away to RCM performance via Jas from www.motostyle.co.nz bike was finnished on wensday...fueling was richened up alot across the rev range and final power out put of the mighty superbike 120hp at the rear wheel!! [boomers stock thou made 150hp with a slip-on pipe!!] ...and thanks big time to GIXer [eddie] and team bent spanner for picking it up for me and bringing it down to manfield for me!! thats was awesome!!

So..I head down on thursady evening and crashed with the in famous kiwifruit at his taupo pad!! [thanks a heap bro!!] and I left earily-ish and headed down to manfield following morning to arive at a bout 10am...for the test day...eager to see how the bike goes after its tuning!!
After a few sessions I made a change to my handle bars as I was working on my riding style abit after being given suggestions from other racers that had observed my racing in the past...I moved them to a almost flat position...which I have found to love!! it feels like I fit on the bike better now and am more comfortable...testing went well...and I was feeling quite comfortable on the bike...and the conditions were mint!! hot day clear skys!!

Race day: nice early start to the day!! got up...drank a loverly coffee [thanks madduck!!] and watched the hive of activity around the pts for a bit then walked over to our garage and flicked the tyre warmers on...ready to go!! lol...

SS qualifying/SB practise: I was scrubing in new slicks...so went out towards the back and doodled around for a bit...before putting in some quicker laps..was feeling a little bit tired/stiff from testing the day before...track looked mint again!! and the day was warming up!

[cowpoos]

SB qualifying: out we go...I got out towards the front and had some good clear laps to knuckle down and try set a good time... I qualified 10th right behind chris [two smoker] qualifying results (http://www.mylaps.com/results/newResults.jsp?id=664192) which I'm happy with considering the big names that were in the feild this weekend!! and the amount of full on superbikes out there!!

race one: lining up after the warm up lap I was a lil anxious because of the length of the race...and the lack of my race fitness...I had decided to just not to try and have a race plan as I knew once the flag dropped it would go out the window!! lol I made the first corner without loosing a single place...infact I gained one!! that is a first for me...mainly because the bikes motor is more sedate after the tune and less wheelie prone...I quickly settled in behind jay lawrence and chris sucich for the opening few laps...derek mcadam hopping around the three of us during those laps as he got caught up in a start incident...I was holding on to jay till about lap ten-ish when my fitness strated to suffer and I was loosing pace and a place...finally coming home 10th after a bloody long 25mins!! race one results (http://www.mylaps.com/results/newResults.jsp?id=664207)

day two dawned a bit cloudy...and I was feeling a little bit under my best!! lol but looking forward to the day none the less...

SB race two: this was a 10 lap race...more of the sprint race I'm used too...and I was expecting a better result than the long race.. I got another okay start...and I was feeling really good out there after having a awesome dice with derek hill I lost a bit of energy but felt jay breathing down my neck a few times...and I thought I'ld let him through when I ran wide into higgans to hot on the brakes...only to find out after the race he did exactly the same thing!! phew!! I came home a credible 8th race two results (http://www.mylaps.com/results/newResults.jsp?id=664220)

[cowpoos]

SB race three: another longer race...I was pretty nakered at this stage...and a little concerned about the fact drew had been givin eddies gixxer thou ex craig shirrifs superbike...I had a gut feeling I would be dicing with him...lol...and if the KB comunity hadn't already realized drew and I are rather compeditive!! I got off to a okay start and back dicing with derek hill again!! then drew rocketed past on a straight and left me feeling at a stand still!! FUCKER!!! I thought and put my head down and tryed my butt off to catch him...getting close at times under brakes and through the infeild...but only for him to pull miles from me on the straights..that and I kept stuffing my lines wasn't adding up to be a good result!! then towards the end when I was running low on energy glenn tanner slipped past... finnished that race 13th race three results (http://www.mylaps.com/results/newResults.jsp?id=664227) ...drew was pretty impressive on his first race on a new bike... and wasn't worried about the oil slick on the sweeper left by a post classic bike like I was...he was powering hard over it down the straight...I was staying underneth it ever lap...and that reflected in the lap times easily I believe...



I have to say I totally enjoyed this weekends racing...and most of all the people!! from all the people that helped me out....like sisterecho and colapop for helping in the pits both days and colapops cake :)...helping racers in the pits takes a massive load off our minds!! and lets us relax! it helps in a big way!!...a huge thanks there...keystone19,madduck and keystone kiddies for letting me crash at the track in the camper!! and supplying good company and humour!! and a specail thanks to young ben keystone for farting lots in his sleep on the bunk above me all nite!! appreciate that one mate!! lmao!

Got to agree, cut your losses on the \"810\", buy Special Ed dinner and a movie and see if he\'ll cut you a deal on his GiXser in exchange for other \"metrosexual man favours\"

[flame]

Awsome racing Poo's :niceone:

Get a more competitive bike and there's gonna be some battles at the front with you lot!

[Keystone19]

Was a laugh hosting your presence in our camper as usual Mr Poos. Although I am disappointed to hear that there are no chicks racing who meet your exacting standards of hot...:Pokey:

Glad my boy Ben could teach you a thing or two about snoring and farting - we've been bringing him up well.

Sorry about booting you off the track as I rode around the outside of you in practice on corner one btw...

My other half is the only one out there that's hot, and that puts the bar too high for mere mortal women the world over.

[HDTboy]

Which other half? Jimmy, or Luke?

[sisterecho]

thanks chick!!! working with me will teach you alot!!

Such as...? All the words to Celine Dion's 'My Heart Will Go On'?

And I note you mentioned cake several times. Was that to soak up the over-indulgence of the night before?

[sisterecho]

I just enjoy being there... hoping to lift the spirits sometimes...

Oh you lifted alright... several times. And it was scary! :confused:

[Colapop]

No it wasn't - I wasn't scared at all!

Hear hear!!!

[slowpoke]

Onya Poos! So what are the overall impressions of the engine after the dyno tune? How did your lap times compare to previous efforts with the unsorted donk? I figure your normal pre-race routine includes being hungover so that effect can be disregarded......

[HDTboy]

I am a man of many,varied and diverse talents...at a level most will never achieve!!

Fuck off! You're an expert on everything.

[Drew]

Fuck off! You're an expert on everything.

Only in his opinion.

[Keystone19]

Well naturally I think all chicks who race are hot (myself included of course) and naturally Flame is one of those hot chicks...it's just that Poos has very weird standards of hot...
