1/4 Mile Motorcycle Sprints

[Deano]

Cliff Hanger Promotions are holding the first of our sprint meetings for the new year.

Where: Dalefield Road, Carterton
When: Sunday 3rd February 2008

More information including entry forms are available www.cliffhanger.org.nz

If anyone is able to help out with marshalling, sizzling sausages or signing in riders, please let me know in here or by PM.

Helpers would need to be on site at 9.00am until 4.00pm, although half day helpers are also appreciated.

Deano

[Trudes]

Count me in for sitting in a driveway with walkietalkie sunning my white legs again Deano, will hopefully be able to stay the whole day this time, may even be able to rope the other half into cooking a sausage or something too (although he might harden up and enter this time :shutup:)

[koba]

I can show up early and help out the Tazman again if ya want. :2thumbsup

[Str8 Jacket]

I can definately come and help with whatever as well, but will need a lift. :)

[bucket boy]

[Lissa]

I can help out, let me know what you want me to do.

Between 7 & 10 runs depending on course stoppages for locals to use the course and any technical issues that may arise with timing gear or fainting Marshals.

Yeah it takes me ages.


*cough* *cough*

Have you got the flu mate ?




But seriously, Skelstar is the webmaster - maybe you need a 'by line' on the page Skel ?

Thanks heaps for the offers of help guys.

I have made a note of your names and will get in touch closer to the date.

[skelstar]

Yeah it takes me ages... ...to get skelstar to make any changes (lazy bugger)


But seriously, Skelstar is the webmaster - maybe you need a 'by line' on the page Skel ?
Yeah maybe... no-one will read it ;)

[cowpoos]

Just out of interest...is it possible to do a NZ landspeed record attempt on a bike at this event??? and have it legitimised?? I might know someone who's keep to give it a crack on a fucking fast bike [no not me...I have a slow bike and i'm slow...ask drew!!]

[Dooly]

I might come and have a go at this.:2thumbsup

[Str8 Jacket]

I'm hoping to crack 160.

You other 400cc bullies aren't going to take the piss are you?

As long as you crack a smile Jim, that's all we ask!.... :p

[koba]

Dem Ther Fightin Words Sonny Boi!

You know which crack you're getting!

[Deano]

We have had three enquiries about this now - the rules are pretty stringent but the Chairman and Secretary of the Cliff Hanger Promotions Committee seem confident.

We won't be entertaining the idea though until someone cracks 307kph on the 'downwind' stretch first. (has to be an average of two runs in each direction)

So if the person turns up on the day...and he records more than 307kmph in both directions...he will have the NZ land speed record...or he might have??

[skelstar]

The logistics of having runs in both directions complicates things. Were we considering doing the two-way run this time around Dean ...er I mean Deano?

[James Deuce]

We're all skilled motorcyclists. You could have different runs start from each end at the same time.

Mind you a closing speed of more than 600 km/hr would give me the runs.

[Freebird]

I fancy having a go at the sprints; do you just turn up pay your money and run what ya brung?

What are the requirements for protective gear?

Cheers

[Kornholio]

How big run up do ya get??

[James Deuce]

You see the side bar picture on the Cliffhanger website? The run up is a bit further than that. If you haven't hit top speed on ANY bike by the time you hit the start of the 1/4 mile run it's because you fell asleep.

[skelstar]

I fancy having a go at the sprints; do you just turn up pay your money and run what ya brung?

What are the requirements for protective gear?
Run what ya brung, just turn up and pay money.

MNZ rules state what ya have to be wearing but can't remember off top of my head. You must wear a back protector, there will be some for hire on the day but they are limited in numbers.

[WRT]

What's the road itself like? I've got horrible visions in my head of trying to do 300 clicks on some Wairarapa goat track over bumps and rocks and possum entrails . . .

[cowpoos]

Another thing...whats the story with speed ratings on tyres??

[James Deuce]

No dramas. It's as good as you get in NZ these days, if a little narrow.

[James Deuce]

Tyres have speed ratings? :innocent:

Should I leave the 'prilia at home and give it a go on the CR? Top speed on the CR is about what the RSVR'll do in 1st . . . I got no problems doing that over the odd bit of road kill :niceone:

[skelstar]

Bring the RSVR, we love RSVRs.

[cowpoos]

[robertydog]

How big run up do ya get??

About 2 kms

My Avatar is the road

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OX0vi3m_Q5w

[Deano]

Run up is about 2.2km - plenty long enough.

Minimum gear is as per MNZ rule for speed events - rule 8.1.4 (couldn't cut and paste it sorry)

http://www.motorcyclingnz.co.nz/


So if the person turns up on the day...and he records more than 307kmph in both directions...he will have the NZ land speed record...or he might have??

No - it will take a bit of setting up, notification to MNZ of record attempt etc - take a squizz at the rules # 18 - it's pretty stringent.

If, and I mean IF, someone breaks 307kph then we will try and facilitate a record attempt at the following meeting.

The only person close in the past 3 sprints has been Tony Sampson at 306kph.

[driftn]

Does the bike have to be road legal? Or can we use race bikes too?

[Deano]

Does the bike have to be road legal? Or can we use race bikes too?

No and yes.

Will your road bike be in race trim ?

[skelstar]

J'lo has already done the sprints bro! ... still, you can see if its goes faster with a different brother.

[driftn]

No and yes.

Will your road bike be in race trim ?

Not sure yet thinking about just putting the front on for a bit of stream lining ya know.

[driftn]

It should go faster. as when drew had it the ram air ducts wernt on it so the air box wasnt pressurising. Also im a bit lighter than him.

[James Deuce]

WTF are you made of? Twigs and spit?

[skelstar]

...and the ducts are now made out of race bred tech cardboard too aren't they? (at least on one side)

There might be less bullshit weighing this one down.... nah!!! :)

so if I were to promise the arival of a dude on a genuwine 206 hp superbike that has gone through a speed trap on pukies backstraight at 312kmph...would that allow for a record attempt to happen...or would it still have to be on the next meeting...

You want me to give ya a call about this?

Is that a group of people sitting on the side of the road by the traps while the bikes showing 299kph? You wouldn't wanna have the rider come off and have his bike slide through that lot at 200+.

[Madness]

There's some super-strong plastic barrier tape between the road & spectating areas that you can't see at 299lm/hr.

HTFU

You'd have to come off about 150 metres before that area to have any hope of sliding into the crowd. Otherwise it's just fenceposts and number 8 wire. Angry school Mums in 4WDs too.

[Madness]

Don't forget the lamp posts.

Like that has ever stopped the WRC. And those dudes stand on the frikken road as the cars are approaching.

Spectators view at their own risk.

[WRT]

Like that has ever stopped the WRC. And those dudes stand on the frikken road as the cars are approaching.

Very true, the footage from some of the middle eastern countries showing the crowds parting for the cars makes you wonder how the drivers even know where they are going. Same thing with the start to the Baha 1000 for that matter.

I was just somewhat surprised to see no barrier between spectators and vehicles at a motorsport event here in cotton wool wrapped, save ourselves from ourselves, OSH-mad NZ. Personally, I'd have thought even sitting behind Jim2's fenceposts and number 8 wire would be better than nothing, just on the off chance something did go wrong. Note that I wasn't having a dig or a wind up or anything, I was just a bit curious.

[bucket boy]

Yep...............

some spectators have no idea

[Trudes]

I have to say that when I was guarding a driveway out there, I felt a little nervous standing on the road side with bikes hurtling past at frightening speeds, so got back on the kind folks' driveway and behind their large wooden fence, just in-case like. But then again, I am a pussy!

OSH doesn't exsist in the wairarapa...its still stuck in the 17th centry over there!!

[Madness]

OSH doesn't exsist in the wairarapa...!

True! (http://www.osh.dol.govt.nz/about/region-office/index.shtml)

[WRT]

OSH doesn't exsist in the wairarapa...its still stuck in the 17th centry over there!!

I grew up on Great Barrier Island, not much OSH over there either. You learn things the old fashioned way - if you do something once and it hurts, you tend not to do it again.

Although getting hurt hasn't stopped me from getting on bikes, so maybe the theory is flawed . . .

[rwh]

No dramas. It's as good as you get in NZ these days, if a little narrow.

You seem to have changed your tune a bit over the last year and a half or so, Jim?

[James Deuce]

I stand by my comments. I think compared to the original location the new one is crap, and the volume of residential properties is a PITA. But if you want to participate you don't have a choice.

[skelstar]

Would you say that theres a much bigger crowd at the new location than the old one? ...also as I understand it there was a certain amount of courage required when going around the corner at the old site. Is that a fair comment?

[Deano]

Facilities are much better at Dalefield Road and it does tend to attract more spectators.

The road itself is not as friendly in terms of width, however that bend at the start of the East West Access Road was pretty hairy topping out in third gear.

Having said all that - I've never done a run at Dalefield Road - too busy organising it.

[cowpoos]

True! (http://www.osh.dol.govt.nz/about/region-office/index.shtml)
lol...yep...wondered if someone would check...its true on more than one level!!! lol

[James Deuce]

Lets not go "there" again, OK?

How about them Warriors.......?

[Deano]

8-1-3 Roadracing, Road hill climbs & Record attempts (Back Protector Required)

8-1-4 Speed Event (says nothing about Back protector)

[skelstar]

The MNZ guy on the day (who is there officiating, can't remember his damn name) insists on a back protector. Its not a Cliffhanger Promotions policy.

Someone may be so kind as to lend one, but they do get a bit sweaty....

It was a basket case when I got it :)

The front subframe needs painting, the frame should probably be repainted soonish and the engine covers on both sides need touching up.

Yup!! We need more DVD's Dean, we will have another competition to see who sells the most again.

I know this guy...a bloody top gent that has allowed me to ride a few of his bikes :2thumbsup


Paul Heard is a Tauranga based company director and owner of the MV Agusta Racing team and will be attempting to break the New Zealand land speed record on a 1000cc production bike. He has unofficially achieved 315KPH, so feels that he felt that he has potential to break the NZ record of 302KPH. This has been made possible by the help of Lindsey Beck of Bayride in Tauranga, Allan Nieper of Nationwide Accessories who provided Pirelli tyres, EBC brake pads, EK chains and AGV leathers and helmet.

The F4 has made history in the annals of sports bikes and gone on to become a legend. The R312 where "three hundred and twelve" is the ‘top’ speed, and this is achieved because the 1000cc engine has been developed with assistance from Ferrari. To go fast means, tests, hard work, sweat and winning on the track with all the sacrifices and dedication that calls for. With the F4 1000 R MV Agusta was the protagonist last season in the Superstock production series. Unlike others, it is style that adds to the MV machines lined up on the starting grid. Mere words seem hardly enough to describe the beauty and appeal of a model that leaves the competition unable to answer.
It is not just its streamlined elegant looks or prestigious name, this time it is also a record holder - 312 km/h. To win on the track you always need more speed. This is why the production MV F4 1000 R 312 now has an evolved professional suspension system. Huge 50 mm Marzocchi forks provide all the stability that an incredibly powerful bike needs.
The forks are carbonitride treated and feature 13 compression and 22 rebound settings. The Sachs monoshock absorber has double hydraulic compression settings to deal with acceleration stress. Compression settings can relate to high-speed use for tracks that have small uneven sections on the curves and for low speed handling to make shock absorption more progressive on accelerating out of a bend. The real beauty of monoshock absorbers is the fact that they offer spring preload options. To improve the gyroscopic effect of a motorbike that wants to be "Top Gun" has meant superlight forged Y- spoke aluminium Brembo wheels fitted with 190 tyres of which a full 6 inches meets the ground at the rear. It has meant Brembo brakes on the R312 with 320 mm front discs with P4/34 radial calipers. The F4 R 312 puts out over 180 CV at 12,400 rpm.

It is the result of painstaking development work on the 4 cylinder MV engine with special work done to the cylinder head. New 30 mm Del West titanium valves with reinforced springs were fitted and cams given redesigned raised profiles. Throttle bodies had their inner diameters increased from 46 to 48 mm and longer intake horns were fitted. All this provided an increase of 8 CV "sweetened” by the Magneti Marelli 5 SM Eprom Flash Memory CPU that not only manages the power output but the EBS (Engine Brake System) too. This anti-bounce system is controlled by a solenoid valve that allows the second cylinder to provide power even on deceleration with the valves closed.

I think the current record is 307kph, by John Hepburn.

Are you coming down as well DMNTD ?

I think the current record is 307kph, by John Hepburn.

Are you coming down as well DMNTD ?

Hard to find info aye.
Was pretty sure the britten managed an offical verified 306 at some point?

[Paul in NZ]

QUASiMOTO as a Sponsor will be there also to showcase a bit of gear on the day, so drop in and say hi.
Cheers

Will ya have your 'specials' there Brett??

[Quasievil]

I sold my Van to get car and trailer, but dont have the trailer yet so can carry only a few things.

[Str8 Jacket]

Between 7 & 10 runs depending on course stoppages for locals to use the course and any technical issues that may arise with timing gear or fainting Marshals.

Keen to run the old GSX down the strip... Is it 7-10 runs for top speed attempt then 7-10 runs for 1/4 mile?

Im a little concerned that in the top speed attempt the GSX wont be able to pull out 5th gear as I've gone up one tooth on the front, so want a few attempts to try different strategies! Haha.

Also... What time should someone participating in the event be there?

Cheers,
Si

Number of runs depends, If heaps of people turn up you will generally get less.
Most people go home before all the runs are done tho and leave more strip time to those who want to hang around in the hot sun.
the organisers do thier best to fit in as many runs as they can.
I have never left wanting more!

Usually there is only 2 or 3 standing quarters. Much more scope for things to go wrong with the standing runs from fried clutches to monster wheelies to big power slides into fences.

All good - I'll be there primarily for the top speed try out. Wanna see what the 20yo tractor can pull.

I saw some of the 1/4 mile runs last time... I saw the impressive power sliding, wheelie-ing craziness on the black VTR(I think???)!

The poor old A is needing a new piston, it struggles to get to 40kph in top gear atm. When it's going though, sure thing! :)

Hehe poor old hundy! Surely a singular piston wouldnt cost much to get fired in there??

What, they do more than 40kph out of the factory?!?! :bleh:

[Str8 Jacket]

What, they do more than 40kph out of the factory?!?! :bleh:

hahahahaha! ha!

It did 100 on the motorway a few times.... Will only cost $30-$40. Who know, I may bring it to sprints one day for a laugh!

Hahahahahahaha 100? You're crazy!

And I would laugh so hard if you did. Though, that laughter would probably turn to boredom, which would turn to me sleeping as we waited for the angry hundy to complete the 2km run up....

See ya Sunday :D

[et al]

[B]I know this guy...a bloody top gent that has allowed me to ride a few of his bikes :2thumbsup
Paul Heard is a Tauranga based company director and owner of the MV Agusta Racing team ...............

I met this guy at Taupo in December, a real nice guy. I was not sure whether I would go to the Sprints this time but now I see this, is worth going just to see how that MV does.
PS Told me he has a very special Ducati on order and will be awesome if he runs that in the Sprints at some stage - next time maybe. Lets make him very welcome so that he does come back, that will be quite a drawcard!

[koba]

Thanks heaps Koba, appreciate it!

No worries :)
Looking foward to it.

Yep, sure were! But mine *used* to hold 95kph.... Malcolm got the piston and barrell off the bike for me this morn so just got to sort what size piston I need.... Yay!

hehe... his has no lights, no indicators, no speedo etc etc BUT.... mine was originally ridden over from Masterton by our very own Bungbung! Once I got mine going again I may try taking it over the Taka's. No brakes will make for a VERY exciting ride!! :wari:

[Blue Velvet]

hehe... No brakes will make for a VERY exciting ride!!

I once rode over the Rimutaka's in a van with no brakes, returning from one of those hippy raves held in a forest, with a very heavy trailer filled with left over beer and AV equipment on the back... All the occupants were feeling seedy and wanted to keep stopping to throw up. That was one of the funniest rides ever... *reminiscent face*

Ha, a mate of mine organises those!! Bet there was smoke pouring outta the van as well, huh!....... :cool:

[Blue Velvet]

Sorry to ask, but it's not obvious - do you just turn up on the day with money and signed entry form?

Edit: Apologies, post 33 answered the above :doh:


Run what ya brung, just turn up and pay money.

MNZ rules state what ya have to be wearing but can't remember off top of my head. You must wear a back protector, there will be some for hire on the day but they are limited in numbers.

Can anyone share a back protector with me?

[limbimtimwim]

Can anyone share a back protector with me?Bit of a logistics problem with that; the person you'd be sharing the back protector with will be a couple of KM away at the end of the road! Get there early and you can rent one off the organisers.

Oh yeah, I had a bike just like yours once. You have to beat 258.64km/h .

[Trudes]

Can anyone share a back protector with me?

You can borrow mine chick.

[Str8 Jacket]

You can borrow mine chick.

And why are you not entering? Hmmmmmmm?

[Trudes]

And why are you not entering? Hmmmmmmm?
Because I will be sitting in a driveway sunning my legs, or some other equally important job!!! (Nige is thinking of it though)

Thanks, but I can't enter as my leather hasn't arrived yet.

Please Paula, hurry with that new order...

You're only little aren't you? I'm sure someone could lend you something, would lend you mine, but I have a funny feeling you won't fit them!

[Str8 Jacket]

Thanks, but I can't enter as my leather hasn't arrived yet.

Please Paula, hurry with that new order...

YES YOU CAN!! You can do it in codura. You wont crash, its a straight line. Besides, I didnt so that almost makes it fool proof!

[Blue Velvet]

You can do it in codura.

Oooh errrr, heh.

MNZ says leather or kevlar only... But you're saying sprints won't turn me away in my flash cordura?

I mean it's kinda odd I'm allowed to ride round Taupo MSP in it but not a straight line in Carterton...

[Str8 Jacket]

Oooh errrr, heh.

Yep, codura is fine. That's what I wore last year in the sprints.

[Blue Velvet]

Yep, codura is fine. That's what I wore last year in the sprints.

Alrighty... Do you also happen to know if the back protector has to be a strap on dildo kind or whether approved armour inside clothing is OK?

[Quasievil]

Pants will arrive on Monday, do you want the Red suit to borrow ?

[Str8 Jacket]

Alrighty... Do you also happen to know if the back protector has to be a strap on dildo kind or whether approved armour inside clothing is OK?

Yes, it also has to be a double ender.....

[Blue Velvet]

Do you want the Red suit to borrow ?

Eeeeek! He's everywhere... :eek:

Will come see you at the event.

[Deano]

Beg, borrow, steal - do whatever you can.

Devil red sounds good - how tight are they Quasi ?

Back protector needs to be fairly substantial, but I'm not the steward on the day........I have a 'strap on' you could borrow, but it might be a bit big for you.:buggerd:

[Kendog]

I have a 'strap on' you could borrow, but it might be a bit big for you.:buggerd:

That is a great quote :niceone:

[Quasievil]

If anyone is a spot of bother with gear dont panick, just come see Uncle Quasi.
Im happy to lend out some gear if it makes your day safer
I will bring some extra used bits for this

See ya Sunday

Ben

[Ivan]

See yas all there...

Im all ready to go,

I got my little we RS125 packed up and ready to try set a good speed

[MD]

+1 here too.
Don't know my way around this windy city either :baby:
PM me or txt/ph 027 4825587

If I manage to wake up on time I will try and leave home by 8.00am. Stop for gas where most bikes do, at the caltex Rimutaka at about 8.30am. Maybe 8.31 ...8.32 ...

Assuming you are somewhere near Wgtn City DMNTD, you simply follow highway 2 and don't turn off it until Carterton which is about one hour 15 m from Wgtn. Head up H2 and stay safely out of Lower and Upper Hutt cities (rough neighbourhoods). From Caltex Rimutaka it's a fun ride over the Hill to Featherston - don't turn off at Feathers - straight on through to Carterton. The sprints are on Dalefield Rd, which is the first left as you enter Carterton.

It's going to be damn hot out there, be prepared.

[pete376403]

From the event website:
NOTE: if you are arriving to the event, please take the Brooklyn Rd route as the sprint route comes down Dalefield Rd itself. The pits/sausage sizzle etc are on Thomas Rd.

[Deano]

See ya's there.

[James Deuce]

Won't be there, sick as a parrot.

Have fun folks.

[pete376403]

Went and had a look - great weather, a slight breeze but didn't seem enough to put the riders off course (riders themselves might feel differently about that)
Only stayed for the first two sets of runs - Kawasaki 1200 was fastest up to that point with runs of 283 and 279 (IIRC) - thats 179.99 in the old money. And that is F*ckin impressive when its going past about 3-4 metres away
It was not a very wide road and I'll bet it looked a lot narrower from the cockpit at that speed. Max respect to all the riders.

Interesting aside with all the furor over exhaust noise limits - the bikes were louder - much louder - when approaching than after they had passed. Even at full throttle the exhaust noise wasn't going to bother anyone.
V twin engines sound nice.

Hopefully the promotors will be posting the full days results somewhere.

(was thinking about having a go but there was no class for ride on lawnmowers or zimmer frames)

[Ivan]

The Sprints were awsome

Thanks guys for a great day...

My little 125 managed a 204KPH in the Flying quarter in the final run im very impressed,
And for a GP125 bike it did ok on the standings posting my fastest at 13 seconds.

Max Respect to the guy who did 313 yes 313 ks thats awsome....
The CBR1000 doing 10 second standing qaurter thats quick

And the Group of 400s you guys were cool


As for the road being narrow you dont really notice it...

Thanks to the marshells to it was pretty hot out there and you guys deserve a big pat on the back

[fatboyzed]

that zx12 melted his front gard and that was on his fastest run of the day, then pulled out due to battery crapping out and it was to dam hot for me to be pushing him wearing black leathers . I now have a melted momento from the day to put on the trophy wall. Was cool fun to hold the throttle open and not get a speeding ticket, big thanks to the cliffhanger people ,big f#&k you to the dick who drove through the barriers when the bikes were running (nearly knocked a few bikes lined up and riders trying to stop him).

[Ivan]

Yip that guy was prat.

he Deserved a few momments with a few angry bikers haha

[Deano]

It sure was hot out there again - I don't know if it's worse to be exposed and frying, or in leathers and stewing.....

Yep - the new Cliff Hanger Sprint record belongs to Malcolm Breadmore, who posted 313.57 kph on his NO2 assisted 06 Hyabusa.

I will have to ask him but it sounded like the revs rose rather quicker than normal a couple of times during his run.....I wonder if the back tyre was breaking traction over any small bumps ??

Great to meet DMNTD, and the guys from Tauranga - thanks for coming down.

Nice catching up with Quasi again after a while.

As for the guy who drove through the start road block........WTF was he thinking ? Barge past 30 odd hot and bothered bikers, all with excess pent up adrenalin, just waiting for an outlet.

Those red flag poles are pretty strong eh ? He seemed pretty angry about the thwack to his pillar - lucky for him I missed the pricks head. What was he gonna do though - I turned round and half a dozen bikers were heading our way...

I have the hard copy of results in my hand - big ups to The Tazman who had not slept after a night shift, then brought his PC over to record the results and print off the certificates - show your appreciation by stopping in at Kitty O'Shea's for a cold one sometime and say g'day to Gary.

Gary will probably have the results up soon enough, but here is a few teasers.....just ask if you want any specifics, or results not mentioned.

Malcolm Breadmore - 06 GSXR 1300 - 313.57kph

Paul Heard - 07 MV Agusta 312R - 295.53kph

Warwick Stenning - 07 ZX14 - 293.00kph

Stephen Somerville - 03 ZX12R - 292.69kph

Troy Foster - 01 GSXR1000 - 288.93kph

Kevin Ross - 06 ZX10 - 283.86kph

Simon Le Breton - 07 CBR1000RR - 283.44kph

Other notable KBers - (sorry OWN3D) - what was your real handle ?)

Chris Elbe - 93 ZX11 - 265.08kph

Luke Mair - 96 GSXR750 - 257.42kph (beat Drew's best speed on this bike)

Phil Snowden - 05 R6 - 257.32kph

Clive Banks - 05 Tuono - 254.48kph

Mark Dunn - 07 675 - 249.20kph

Malcolm Foster - 06 998 Monster - 234.09kph

Drew Avery - 07 SV650 - 212.76kph

Malcolm Nabbs - 86 NC21 - 212.00kph (Winner of the 400cc Cup)

Ivan Juggins - 96 RS125 - 204.08kph

Clive Banks - 90 CBR400RR - 197.28kph (couldn't get enough so had to enter 2 bikes)

Simon Story - 95 RVF400 - 177.81kph (what happened to the Unicorn power ?)

[riffer]

Well done Ivan and good talking to you today mate.

That has to be the fastest 125 I've ever seen too - my 8 year old definitely wants to have a go on it. Actually the 3 year old does too - you might have noticed...

Does 313 on a Hayabusa count if you use NOS?

A small random survey I did today would indicate that it doesn't matter NOS or not - if you wanted to bring a turbo busa and do 340 on one wheel it would count.

What do others think?

My picks for today:

Best looking bike - the ZRR1100 in black - Cali style, lowered, chromed. Very tasty.

Best sounding bike at full throttle - J Lo. Luke - that bike sounds great. Runner up - the '69 T120 Bonnie.

Least impressive bike - Limbimtimwim - what happened?

Most impressive bike - Ivan's RS125.

Dickhead of the day. Mr 23 second standing quarter in the White 1998 Nissan Sentra wagon. No one else came close.

Cheers to all who put their bikes and lives on the line. The family had a great time.

[merv]

Malcolm Nabbs - 86 NC21 - 212.00kph (Winner of the 400cc Cup)

Simon Story - 95 RVF400 - 177.81kph (what happened to the Unicorn power ?)

:rolleyes: Well at least I voted right - I said the outcome was obvious unless Limpy lost 30kgs and cut his wind resistance - but that big of a gap it would seem the bike needs some serious work too :crybaby:.

Ah ... it doesn't still have its 180km/hr limiter connected does it?

[Trudes]

My little 125 managed a 204KPH in the Flying quarter in the final run im very impressed,


Holy!! That is bloody impressive!! Well done!:2thumbsup

[bounce]

Cheers Garry, Dina, marhalls and team for putting that together. That was a wicked day, good to meet so many of you all. Hey let me know if anyone can youtube any video clips or anything. I'd like to see what 313kph looks like going past. :first:
Hmm, need faster bike...:laugh:

[MotoGirl]

Gary will probably have the results up soon enough, but here is a few teasers.....just ask if you want any specifics, or results not mentioned.

Warwick Stenning - 07 ZX14 - 293.00kph


This is my bro-in-law and his speed's not too bad considering the ZX14 is still limited to 186mph. Even so, that thing is freakin fast considering the only mods are the Yoshi 4-into-1 race system, PC3 and air filter.

I presume there were no '08 busas there?

[Madness]

Did anyone get this guys rego?

No 08 Busas there today, just some very sexy Kawasaki's & a hot MV. Where are all the fast Blackbirds anyway?

[skelstar]

Was a great day. Wanted to point out over the PA that we had 5 of the last 'fastest prod bikes' out there today: ZX-11, BBird, ZX12R, Hayabusa, and ZX-14. Very cool :niceone:

Also, everybody lay off Limbo, he turned up and actually gave it a crack but had to leave mid-day, where were you guys?

[Deano]

Did anyone get this guys rego?

Yep - gave it to Dina. Dunno what might come of it, but it made for a great larf - sort of set the mood for an exciting day.

I wish I could have been at the start line when the NO2 Busa went through at 313.....

No disrespect but the Agusta 312R must be named after the speedo reading eh ?

[skelstar]

Yep - gave it to Dina. Dunno what might come of it, but it made for a great larf - sort of set the mood for an exciting day.
I called him a 'wanker in a white station wagon' over the PA ... at least he provided a laugh, and Gary could have a rant.

[James Deuce]

....where were you guys?
Sick as a dog. Had aching joints and a headache when I woke up and then threw up breakfast almost straight away. Haven't been able to type properely until now because my joints were all swollen.

[limbimtimwim]

The engine is in pieces on the kitchen table to help me find the problem... ;)

[Deano]

ZX-11, ZX12R, and ZX-14. Very cool :niceone:


That explains my confusion when reviewing the results (and exposes my ignorance) - I thought there were 3 black ZX14's out there :doh:



Also, everybody lay off Limbo, he turned up and actually gave it a crack but had to leave mid-day, where were you guys?

Yeah Merv, where were you ?:Pokey:

[Deano]

I called him a 'wanker in a white station wagon' over the PA ... .

Mate - you should have heard the tirade of abuse I gave him.

Father Ted would have been proud. Effing effing effwit, wot the eff are you effing doing -yeah ? eff you, you effing effwit

I'm tying a red hanky to a tire iron in future.

As a witness to this incident I must say that Deano did exceptionally well in expressing the collective point of view of those motorcyclists present. I thought Gary was going to charge us all another $10 to replace the marshalls flag, must have dented his a-pillar.

AT 2 in the morning when I couldn't sleep I put it down to that myself mate.

[merv]

Yeah Merv, where were you ?:Pokey:

Mate I'm past getting up early for these things.

As for Limbo I don't think anyone was laying on him, but I did wonder when I saw 177 about the damn limiter but he assured us on the other thread that's not the problem.

[skelstar]

You were missed today J2. Thought that you would have added a nice edge to the 400cc battle. Wiser, get in the youngsters head and talk him out iof it.

Instead the young wippersnapper won the 400cc Cup!

pardon the bad lining up of the toy bike on the trophy, with the real bike in the background.

Whats the NZ motorcycle land speed record? Surely 313kms must be close

The record is 307kph.

But it has to be an average of both directions.

Malcolm "only" managed 29.......something going East-West -even if it was 299, averaged in both directions it would "only" be 306kph. The road is not likely to meet the gradient requirements either.

Hi Yall, thanks for the opportunity to show our gears was great to catch up with you all.
It only took me 5 1/2 hours to get home so was a good trip.

Sorry didnt stay for prize giving but wanted to get back at a decent hour.

I will see you all next month at the hillclimb event.

Cheers

[Ocean1]

You missed out on seeing some cool looking bikes and some hot chicks cooking sausages!!

Ohyez, torn I was, between the boiks and the barbie barbies. Restrained myself to mere 1/2 a dozen snarlers only with the utmost difficulty.

Next time put the sizzle brigade closer to the track action eh?

[James Deuce]

Geez, what a nightmarish mental picture.

Ohhhh, we missed you at the end :(

A whole 5 1/2 hours ? :blink:

[Clivoris]

Must add my thanks to you and the sterling crew Deano. The only complaint I have is that there isn't an "up to 1000cc naked bike" class. I'm going Honda sprocket shopping tomorrow.

Sounds good to me, am thinking of entering the Hornet next time (not that I will be making it go anywhere near as fast as it can go).
Yahhh, new sprocket eh!!

I didn't click that it was you'se fullas from Tauranga until I read it on here. I shoulda known when I thaw the Thuper Duke R and the polished Kawasakis. Apologies for not saying gidday but I was pretty distracted most of the day. Would have been great to see the KTM out there.

Next time mate but hopefully I'll have our ZX14 for the day or better still run both of them.
Good to see and hear a nekkid Twin going hard down the road!

[Own3d]

Other notable KBers - (sorry OWN3D) - what was your real handle ?)


OWN3D = Simon Hulme :D

Was a great day out, met heaps of great dudes.

Thanks to everyone involved!

Maybe next time I can coax the old girl into running a 10 second something standing quarter.... hehe

[Lissa]

I saw some hot sausages and cooked chicks!Bloody oaf!!! I'm as red as a beetroot, I am sure I got heat stroke, that cool beer would have helped alot... but seeing as DMNTD was too busy playing with his banana to get us some, I had to stick to the water.

Awesome day, bloody hot, some cool looking bikes and brill entertainment again, thanks to Hels and Turds! :yes: Marshalls did great out there esp in that heat, well done guys. Lost count after I sold 2 DVDs but I think the total came to about 3.. not bad!

[skelstar]

Bloody oaf!!! ...Lost count after I sold 2 DVDs but I think the total came to about 3.. not bad!
I hope you meant 'bloody oath', and it looks like you are close to being able to count past 2 eh ;)

Hmmmmm.....
1x T Shirt = $25 - Sold by myself.
3 x CD's = $15 - Sold by Mel :buggerd:

It was a truly entertaining day, thanks Coffee Guy, Turds and Mel! :D

[Lissa]

Hey we in the rapa say Oaf! Dont you be laughing at us now!! :p :love:

Ok hels you are the winner on the day, I was truly amazed at your customer service expertise..... it was like you were a different woman, all polite and stuff!! :shutup:

Have to say Coffee Mans coffee was pretty good, I hope we didn't put him off coming back next time. I think he called me the mean one, obviously he wasn't paying much attention (at Least I didnt burp in public). :laugh:

Im just glad you finally recognise that I can be a nice person! Customer Service is my number one game, cooking sausages is my specialty!

I dunno, you and Turds are such bitches!

[Deano]

I think he can handle it.

His name is Ken - from Kapiti Ken Racing (didn't you see his t-shirt ?)

Can't think of his KB handle.

BTW - Malcolm Breadmore has said that his best run was his last, but he ran out of NO2 just before the start line....here is his GPS readout from his last run.

[skelstar]

Cool, that at least confirms that our timing gear is good... there won't so as many errors to correct for in our stuff eh?

[koba]

Mate, I think With higher gearing on your bike It would have pissed in for the 400 cup. Have to wait 'til september to find out aye!

Cheers to the organisers and all, and marshalls and other volunteers. :Punk:

Maybe the RVF is sill limited?
I realy thought it would've had much more in it than 177 or so?
I think His may have also been geared very low, He said after the first run that it was just right for manfield which makes sense 'cause 177 at the endo of the straight would be about perfect.
??

[Lissa]

We or at least I (not sure about the other two floozy's) realised he was called Ken, but Coffee Man is what he shall be called from now on.... think hes going to change is KB handle to reflect this. :shutup: BTW regarding T-Shirt... you do realise I cant read .... psst silly!

[Clivoris]

Go for it chick. I was suprised that there weren't any women giving it a crack.

I find this strange too. Maybe the lack of the need to prove their bikes supports Jim2s theory of "female riders, their speed and everything else".

Lately I think that flame, str8, and Maxine (partner of Turbod Haybusa Dean) have been the only females... actually a Woman on a SV1000 was there couple times ago too (and pulled a scary wheelie off the line!)

I intend to enter the next one, and you never know I might have a bigger bike by then ;)

[Bass]

BTW - Malcolm Breadmore has said that his best run was his last, but he ran out of NO2 just before the start line.....

I doubt that NO2 would have done him any good at all, quite the reverse in fact. It mixes with water (which hydrocarbon burning motors make lots of) to give nitrous acid, which in turn would kill a motor pretty quickly. However N2O on the other hand...............that's another matter entirely. Carries in extra oxygen. Rumoured to be performance enhancing.

[MD]

Big thanks to the Organisers and Marshalls and helpers. Except the time keepers who refused to accept bribes.
I felt for those Marshalls standing in the heat all day. Strewth it was boiling in black leather.

And well done all those Tauranga peps coming all that way. I meet most but DMNTD. I guess that was your KTM Duke that turned up as I was leaving late afternoon?

Special mention to Deano who nearly let himself get run over in the line of duty by that prick in the stationwagon. Next time Dean...bring shorts and jandals man.

[Paul in NZ]

Well we attended for a while in da car (ah sweet aircon) and it was Vickis first visit (she thought it was pretty cool)

What impressed me was the number of quality entries this time out - it looks like this event is growing some legs which is all down to the organisers and their helpers. Well done - fabulous effort.

Paul N

ps - glad to meet a few new faces and see some old friends

pps - fark it was HOT

[skelstar]

What impressed me was the number of quality entries this time out ...
Yeah, only two GSXRs I think ;) ... it def had a different look to the normal demograph. As I have mentioned before there were more of the 'hypersports bikes' than usual but perhaps is more of an indication of having two previous events this summer. The local/smaller cap bikes have done their thing already.

[et al]

Having the Coffee cart there was a great idea - I hope Ken keeps coming back, he makes excellent coffee. At these events I feel the need for a cup of tea and a lie down as the day goes on, so having a coffee and chat with Ken is pretty much the next best thing.
