VMCC RND6 race format

[evol mas]

any one got any ideas on whats happening ?

[roadracingoldfart]

Try contacting the VIC CLUB directly for that sort of info. But im sure its going to be a whole bunch of bikes going in the same direction very very fast until a checkered flag is waved at us all.

Thats the normal format for a race meeting anyhow.

Sorry for the above but nobody here has got a crystal ball either so email the club to ask at the source and then its "Official" .

Cheers Paul.

My guess would be a whole heap of race bikes will be at Taupo motorsport park on Saturday the 13th of October. They'll be all seperated into appropropriate classes and given two or three races. The guy (or sheila) that completes the allotted number of laps in each race in the shortest time is normally named the winner and awarded 25 points. All the finishers down to 16th place are also awarded points depending on their position.

And Paul, my crystal ball sez there'll be some pretty cool racing in a few classes.

The format is that I cruise to victory on my brand new 1098!

Oh, no wait, sorry, I mean come last on my pile of crap.

BUT..... You'll look awesome doing so!

Dude, you are looking very smooth out there and you are improving every time. Who knows what'll happen at Taupo!

[Bloody Mad Woman (BMW)]

Same format as Round 4 at Manfield no doubt - can ya let me recover from organising Round 5 lol.

There will be an official prize giving on the Saturday nite and a yet to be advised/arranged venue. Trophies to be given out at this event.

You're so much easier to understand in writing :banana:

[evol mas]

so will it be 3 4lap races?

[Nicksta]

well, considering Shirley said it would be the same as rd4 i would have it a guess that it is 2x6 lap races... it is a long track at Taupo.... average lap time for a clubman there is about 2min-2:20 a lap... so sounds about right....
best thing to do if your curious - Email admin@vicclub.co.nz ! (i'm sure we're not a broken record ay Shirley ;) )
i'm not fussed either way.. i'm just looking forward to racing Taupo after so many rounds at the Mine field!

[Meekey_Mouse]

Taupo WOOOOOOO :love::banana:

[Clivoris]

For the curious out there, the numbers are being crunched to see whether we can run 2 or 3 races per class, and how many laps for each race. It can all turn to crap of course if we have to do too many recoveries during the day. Still, plans are useful aye?

[White trash]

Three races please Clive. One lap each. That way I'll have a good chance of finishing each race. Sort of.

Ta.

No worries bro. Just for you we'll make 'em 3 sprint races....50 meters down start finish straight. Wouldn't want that first corner to catch anyone out eh?:shifty:

[ajturbo]

on that note... you racey type who know lots of racey shit...

what would the best split be for the SS and the gp125...still just till the hair pin or sooner????

and as none of the SS race will fall off ( setting examples to all other classes).. we should be able to have 3 X 10 lap races:done:

First corner should be plenty. Still waiting for feedback from time-keeping guy about race lengths. I'm mixed about 2 or 3 races. I enjoy the longer races giving me time to settle into a rhythm, but it also gives me more time to fall further down the placings:sleep:. Race starts are starting to be fun too so it might be nice to get an extra one of those. Less races equals less changeover time though and might leave time for bonus races. Oh dear me.

[Toast]

As far as playing with bike setup, more short races is better 'cos you can try more changes...but whatever, it'll be a good day whichever way it happens :niceone:

I guess you'd also have to consider that the warm down laps at Taupo will be longer than Manfeild? As there's no early exit point (at least I don't think so) and you'd have to wait until the last guy has taken 2 minutes or more to get back to the pits...so maybe less races but longer might be the right idea.

Now that's thinking. Best you leave a brain like that in the pits mate, it's bound to slow you down on the track.

[Sketchy_Racer]

I recon one day VMCC should try a MotoGP style weekend.

Practice and qualifying on sat, and ONE yes ONE 55min race on sunday.

Why? For me I feel that I spend more time warming my bike up in the pits than I do on the track. Almost every race I have done I feel that Im only just getting into my groove when the checkered flag comes out.

a long race also sorts the men from the boys.

[Nicksta]

ah, now toast is a thinking man..... there's no quick exit from taupo.... and i take 2 mins to lap the A1GP there.... so got lots of time to equate for with warm up lap and finish lap, thats an extra 5mins right there....

i'm hoping for only 2 races... but thats me.... only cos then i dont loose as many points ;)
lol.. like to see how many VMCC racers are fit enough to cope with GP length races hehe...
i could have raced more after out "enduro's" last round... i loved those!

Yeah I would prefer two longer races as gives me a bit more time to get in to the flow of things although on the other hand I need to improve my starts as well.

Definitely enjoyed last month but not fit enough for these "longer" races.

[roadracingoldfart]

Im an advocate for a handicap race so then (as a very handicapped person) i can win a race.
Jimmy wants a short 50 metre race , Nicki wants to go for longer if the points are halved for each race, Dnut wants to last longer, Toast is far to clever to be racing a bike, Glen wants to go forever with fuel stops, and Clive wants us all to take our brains out before we get to the dummy grid.

Sheeesh this is going to be a fun weekend i recon.

PS; As its my last race ever i want to let you all know i drink JIM BEAM so feel free to shout me so im not so sad.:weep:
Cheers Paul.
