:wait: Just give it a minute or two...DMNTD will have the answers :D :niceone:

[sidecar bob]

Yeah, that would be right. The whole thing is a bloody shambles & the organisation is at an all time low.
Competitors have been ringing up for late entries & been getting abused for their trouble.
This year, for the first time, i will be attending the air show at Mount Maunganui instead, & suggest all other motorcyclists do the same.
For your information, their will only be two competitive sidecars there & a lot of old clunkers & no classic sidecars.

[nodrog]

Hey all. Where the hell are you supposed to find information on the races?
When do they start?
Whats the schedule?
Is there a course map?
Where's a camping/parking area?
I cant find any of this information.

How do they expect to be attracting new people to these things when you cant get any information on it!

Of course, if this information magically appears in this thread, someone can edit this post, cos it is an Event!

i scored a booklet out of the motorcyle trader which has the days schedule etc in it.

i will post it up if i can be arsed :soon:

[Morcs]

You mean I have to pay to watch racing on public roads?

thats what rego is for?

[Deano]

Competitors have been ringing up for late entries & been getting abused for their trouble.


The entry form said absolutely no late entries. :bleh:

[Devil]

Sticky for this week?

[Cajun]

[Cajun]

yo do you know where the designated camping sites are and who to contact ??

cheers

no idea but site says 'With all the precision and planning of a military operation, the circuit is set-up under the cover of darkness with SH2 finally being shut around 6 am. Diversions are put in place to accommodate the traffic passing through whilst plenty of free parking and camping available for spectators.'

[GIXser]

Is this Airshow the SportAvex on Friday-Sunday ? That will be worth seeing. Are you a pilot ?

there you go Waylander, surely you can spring a dollar for your first lay?

[sidecar bob]

Hmm, can you ellaborate on that one Bones?

Chris Lawrence imparted that knowledge upon me at the classic fest, He claims to be one of the competitive ones, so that leaves only one other.

[sidecar bob]

The entry form said absolutely no late entries. :bleh:

And that helps the paying spectators how??? I didnt attempt a late entry, but i know some extremely entertaining individuals that did.

[Joni]

Chris Lawrence imparted that knowledge upon me at the classic fest, He claims to be one of the competitive ones, so that leaves only one other.I feel thats very sad.... we have a very excited Alex Mac coming from Chch to race in Paeroa for the first time... I suppose he falls into the "old clunkers" category...

I thought it was all about the vibe and the competitveness (and I dont mean Steve Bron competition) of the racing? but maybe I sit with my head in the clouds...

[sidecar bob]

No, just an enthusiast, & will be going up in one of my clients aircraft.

OK, i consider my hand firmly slapped for that comment, Thats the second time i have been wrong today.
Shall i say, only two tier one sidecars & the rest are tier two & equally as much fun to compete on, but possibly not as crowd pleasing as the top end ones.

[Waylander]

Meh, Who needs sex when you have broken bikes to fix.
Same thing with sleep.

[paturoa]

Is there anywhere to leave my gear?

I don't mind paying if that is required, its just a total pain lugging ATGATT around.

[civil]

Is there anywhere to leave my gear?


Try the Rugby Club rooms. I understand there is a system for leaving your gear during the racing.

[Mental Trousers]

For your information, their will only be two competitive sidecars there & a lot of old clunkers & no classic sidecars.

What's the story with the classic sidecars?? They weren't at Wanganui either. Shame cos they're entertaining as hell to watch. Especially those crazy old bastards that have a habit of standing their outfit on it's nose. An AJS I think.

[GIXser]

i believe ( so i have heard) that they were banned for being too dangerous...

[scrivy]

Dangerous?? Maybe we should all take up crochet or knitting then .......??? :no::pinch:

[sidecar bob]

Dangerous?? Maybe we should all take up crochet or knitting then .......??? :no::pinch:

Bugger that, Havent you seen a crochet hook up close?? Take an eye out with one if youre not careful!!!!

[BIHB@0610]

Bugger that, Havent you seen a crochet hook up close?? Take an eye out with one if youre not careful!!!!

Crochet hooks, knitting needles, darning needles, caustic cleaning chemicals, "KITCHEN UTENSILS AND APRONS" :Pokey: ......

Damn, we chicks have all the equipment to be dangerous. I wonder if that's why you guys have to put on a freakshow .... to get out of arms' reach for your own personal safety, a few laps worth of it anyway .......:devil2::devil2:

No guess work there,

Typeing

gets you
http://www.paeroa.org.nz/ComingEvents.html with a listing of all events in Paeroa and from that listing you should find
17th Battle of the Streets - Motorbike Race Paeroa Streets
so people can't be that dumb when doing a search they can't find info without any trouble.:chase:

[Devil]

*sigh*.

Neither of the links you posted have anything other than a date, which is entirely unhelpful.

Pull your head in.

[jetboy]

This was an awesome day out! The spectator facilities could have been a wee bit better (a few seating options would have been nice), but overall it was well organised.

Some fantastic racing out there - especially seeing Toby Summers in the Supermoto class come flying into the Pirelli Hairpin sideways!

Was good to see a few of my clients out there having a blast too. Will most definitely go next year.

At least they told those who where looking for other info what to search for:zzzz:
