Taupo endurance races

[scrivy]

Hi everyone,

Here is our Endurance race entry form for the 3rd day of racing at the Taupo Road Race Spectacular.

This is being put out early, as we need to see how many entries we will have prior to our Nov. 1st cut off, so we know if we have a go/no-go situation.
More info will be provided, as we continue to establish the format for the day after more input from you racers.
It will be a Le-mans start race, and we will have nice trophies, and beer/bbq etc.

Cheques will not be banked until we have enough confirmed numbers.

Regards,
Scrivy :sweatdrop

You're the man on the side fruity (I've seen the piccies)!! Enigma and co. will be in awe........

As for the minimum numbers of riders, we will have a superman class also, so 1 rider can do it. (Some people like to do it by themselves I hear....... :lol:)

[Big Chim]

are SV650 F3 bikes junior or senior.

This looks rad!!!

[Katman]

Bit damp and cold in places.

You should have used the toilet before the start.

[mark247]

Are road bikes permitted in the races? Or do they have to have no headlights n stuff?

[scracha]

Nah mate...you've got it all wrong. It'll all the racebikes that'll have to have headlights fitted for these night races.

The SV's are included with the F3 juniors.

This is for race bikes.
Safety must come into it, as road bikes would not lap at the same speeds as race bikes, and they would not comply with all the rules required for scrutineering etc.

I wish!! Taupo racetrack can only operate till 4:30pm due to resource consents !!! Unbelievable!! An international grade racetrack that we can never have day/night enduros at........... :weep:
I did ask if we could.......... would have been great!

[kickingzebra]

soo, err, do I have to bore out the gsxr to 601 to race senior? I are confuzzled? either way, keen as a has bean...
Superman no partner? That sounds good man... otherwise have to find someone else who likes to crash as spectacularly as I do!!

Race 1 Junior will be for any motorcycle under 600cc, but will also include 650 Pro Twins and will be of a 1 hour duration. (150S/S or unsuitable bikes ineligible due to safety reasons). This is for F3 type bikes and hence SV650's are in this class.
Race 2 Senior will be for any motorcycle over 600cc, (excluding 650 Pro Twins) and will be of a 3 hour duration. 600cc bikes and above will race together with the larger bikes - but will have seperate trophies awarded.

[Goblin]

Is it possible to do the one hour junior race on one bike then do the senior race as part of a team on a different bike?

Lol go Kel :D

[scracha]

I'm gonna team up with Drew. I figure that if he's the first rider out I can just spend the day drinking. :beer:

[Kornholio]

You going to do it?

Roger that :D

You and Boomhauer should enter your bike au :Pokey:

[enigma51]

Depends on how much it is to make it race ready

I do have a few options but will anounce if it happens

Some people like pains in the bum..............
If your bike has 600cc written on it, then it will be classed as a 600 and race in the senior class - same as 600ss race in the 600ss class (even if only 599cc.....)

Does that help?

Scrivy

[scrivy]

so can junior (pro twin) ride the race solo??

Either 2 rider or solo. Like a bridge game really - ya don't need a partner if ya have a good hand.........

Our aim is to get as many bikes out there competing in a longer than normal race at the least possible cost to you guys, and still have nice trophies for your efforts! (Oh, and beers and BBQ etc....)
The whole goal of Chris Lawrance and myself is to get heaps of people to socialise, talk bikes, race hard & talk shite at 1 venue for a long time. Much like Daytonas speed week. We all love what we do, it's a unique sport, and one that we are all passionate about, so why not share all our stories and ideals together.
(Shit, it sounds like we're throwing the keys in the middle..........):devil2:

[CookMySock]

Taupo racetrack can only operate till 4:30pm due to resource consents !!!SNORT! Thats just fucking stupid innit.. Perhaps they might wake someone at 1am sleeping under their plane at the gliding club ? Theres no one for freakin miles and miles except the logging trucks. <_<

Safety must come into it, as road bikes would not lap at the same speeds as race bikes, and they would not comply with all the rules required for scrutineering etc.

Scrivy

Skrivy - Do you want those trophies back from your last 2 events?

Prep = Disconnect brakelight, take off stand and mirrors - bingo!

[svr]

so can junior (pro twin) ride the race solo??

Optimistic! - 60 mins is a long time to go between lie downs Sam. Anyway, Last time I saw your tank it would only hold about 3 liters :banana:.

[Meekey_Mouse]

I'm guessing you'll need marshals? I won't be able to confirm until closer to the time but you could pencil me in for at least one of the days if not more :)

[scrivy]

Skrivy - Do you want those trophies back from your last 2 events?

Dude, that was the T.R.R.S. and things were lax so you could get track time. The endurance races will be more controlled, so gear must be up to the mark. Don't want an un-lockwired sump bolt ruining the day for all the rest do we..... stuff like that.......

BTW, those trophies would look good on my shelf.......... if I was a trophy hunter...............

[scrivy]

I'm guessing you'll need marshals? I won't be able to confirm until closer to the time but you could pencil me in for at least one of the days if not more :)

Yeah, 3 days of racing means lots of marshalls. We do pay our marshalls at our event, and provide them free lunches and also the end of day BBQ and Beers/juice etc.
I will need lots of them obviously, so if you want a great job, in a great location, with great friends, watching awesome racing up close, and socialising with the best guys/gals around, and be paid to do it, then please PM me so I can tick that job off my ever growing list!!


Oh yeah, did i mention you'd have to actually work too.............? No such thing as a free lunch...... :bleh:

Geez Scrivy with your meetings it used to be about the music.
How many hungover / drunk / sunburnt / asleep `racefans' do you need?

[evol mas]

haha but i have a secret weapon now a spair tank!!!! haha so aslong as i dont break myself again i should be fine lol. perhaps i could just cruz around behind you for the most part of it??

[svr]

Be my guest - in fact you can cruise behind me for the whole race if you like!

Haven't had any drunk or hungover racers yet. But if they're worn out from an extra 3 days of racing, then I'll be rapt!! (They are that soft are they cookie?)

Quick question 2 riders entry fee 120 each i am guessing

[scrivy]

Quick question 2 riders entry fee 120 each i am guessing

It's $120 per junior class bike. If you're doing it superman, it's $120. If you're sharing 1 bike with two riders, it's $120!! I want more riders to compete in this event, hence I'm keeping the costs as low as possible for you guys. :clap:

[Ivan]

sweet im doing it with my brother so it should be good.
Now road race spectacular does that follow same rules in that SV650 pro twins can not enter f2? just wondering as if they are I will race in F2 and my brother can race in F3 for track time

[scracha]

Lots of riders jumping onto "mates" bikes they've never ridden before is gonna be fun. Hmm...two days racing prior to endurance race. Just after Wanganui. Methinks there will be lots of smashed bike and tired riders. Hope there's gonna be lots of cameras.

[scott411]

awesome idea Scrivy, looks like i have found a bike and a partner, hope to be there,

[scrivy]

Sorry for delay Ivan. You're right, SV650's can't go in F2, so only able to go in F3.

Scrivy

[Ivan]

Sweet as is there a class that he can ride in on the road race spectacular so we can both race the sv to get track time on it?

[scrivy]

Clubmans. Or is he too fast?

[kiwifruit]

I'm in the senior race on the old FZR600 :gob: :sweatdrop

[Ivan]

Clubmans. Or is he too fast?

I thought of clubmans after I posted it lol.
Nah he is quick but not gonna be way to fast he aint even rode a sv yet

[scrivy]

Hi all.

Just letting you guy/gals know that you can put your entry form in for the endurance races, and can pay us alot closer to the day, or even post date your cheques to mid December. I'm not too concerned about getting the money yet, but I definately need to know numbers of entries ASAP. As soon as I get a feel for numbers, then I can continue planning the rest of the meeting.
There's some pretty good named entries so far. Oh, I dont mean Stroudy etc... I mean, Sloan Frost & co., Jamie Rajek & co., Tony Rees & co, Kiwifruitie bixs & himself..... (although he should do it on that Busa he was on today....) and a few more.
I've heard there are quite a few that want to do it, so get ya entry in quickly, and pay us later. Don't miss out on this event. First in - first served!
:first:

[quallman1234]

Exactly 1 month to go boys and girls till the November 1st deadline for the Endurance races on December 29th.
If you are going to do this event, PLEASE fax an entry form to me on (07 376 8462), or send an entry form off to Chris Lawrance at Box 121322, Henderson, Auckland.
Dont fret about sending the money yet, we just need your entry form back ASAP so we can determine entries.
We currently have 9 for the senior class, and 6 for the Junior class. We need at least 20 in each for this event to go forward.
Also, if you are a club level rider, don't panic, there will be others like you doing this event - you don't have to be a seasoned pro like Trashie or Drew............:no::shifty:

[scuzeme]

Ive just confirmed my entry Race 2 Senior.

How about, we're both going to ride her in the 3-hour.

The fruity one will go out and stick some time into the other riders, and then hand the bike to me to wallow around on trying not to let people past for a few laps, etc.

It'll be awesome.

(scrivy - I'll get that entry form faxed off in the morning)

[Sparky Bills]

Just working out how im going to do it.
Looking at teaming up with a fellow rider.

Hope it does go ahead. This is a great chance for a new decent race event in New Zealand :headbang:

[idleidolidyll]

what if ya can't run?

will they let us stand a lot closer to the bike?

i know a rider with a walking stick; lousy runner, great rider though

[scrivy]

Can't run?? You mean the Le Mans start?
We'll supply ya a wheel chair or skate board.......... :pinch:

[kiwifruit]

Easy Peasy

Hopefully i'll be in the junior race on the FZR, if there is enough post classic pre 89s.... I can then be Dan's partner :love: aboard the 1400 in the 3 hour

Scrivy?

I think you need a team mate...... oooo okay ill do it :confused:

Ah, now I remember why I wanted to team up with Fruitibix.

[idleidolidyll]

will it have to meet MNZ regulations? What if the handlebars are over 900mm?

[enigma51]

Ah, now I remember why I wanted to team up with Fruitibix.

I think scrivy should have a sprint comp before the time the slowest runner is the starter

[scrivy]

Ah yes, I love good feedback.........


Hopefully i'll be in the junior race on the FZR, if there is enough post classic pre 89s.... I can then be Dan's partner :love: aboard the 1400 in the 3 hour

Scrivy?
You hum it son.......... you got the stamina for 2 races?? :yawn:


Ah, now I remember why I wanted to team up with Fruitibix.
He wasn't first home in the Taupo 1/2 marathon......... You want someone fast? Get Sidecar Bob to team with ya. Mention there's poon over by ya bike, and he'll be there faster than Robbie Bugdens Superbike!! (Oh, but he'll be sniffing around for it for the whole duration of the race...... so probably not a good idea.....):pinch: (Actually, if he does find some, he'll be at it until the 30th..... so I recommend you just go with the Chinese gooseberry)


will it have to meet MNZ regulations? What if the handlebars are over 900mm?
Mate, I'll decide!! I'll allow ape hangers on your wheel chair Idle. But it'll also have to have wheelie bars too!! ;)

I think scrivy should have a sprint comp before the time the slowest runner is the starter
Ooh ooh..... what about having the flag drop, and then you have to get dressed in your leathers first at the side of the track, then run to your bike?? Gives another meaning to first in, best dressed!! :woohoo:

[kiwifruit]

Put the swingers names in a hat, then the riders have to pull out the name, and then the poor bastard would have to swing on the chosen rig!! Made for great amusement and hilarity.

That sounds like a good idea

PS I like the get dressed thing as well. Also when they change riders there must be a little have to do as well. Maybe the same type of thing when the rider stop the other one has to get into his or her gear.

Why don't we turn this into a real test of endurance. Why don't we make it compulsory for each rider to have to complete an obstacle course prior to getting on the bike, so they're stuffed before the start?........
Now that would separate the men from the...... unfit men.....

Yes, i am all of the above. I think maybe the old Katana 1100, whaddya rekon, show these sportsbike riding homos the real meaning of sideways. Sideways that can actually be seen from the spectator stands, sideways that makes you too wide to pass, sideways . . . fuck, you know mate.

Thought about that, but yeah... nah. Don't be fuckin' ridiculous. Scrivy's fun day at Taupo is one thing, the biggest street racing event in the country with thousands of cunts watching is another.

[Kickaha]

may as well do Wanganui too bro

He'd have to be quick, you need three race meetings on your licence bfore you can do a street meet and even then entry isn't a certainty

Shall I start asking around the sidecars to see if anyone needs a swinger for it :lol:

[sidecar bob]

On a serious note guys & girls.
Having spent a couple of days with Scrivy, one thing that came up is that the entries for this event are, at this stage insufficent to obtain the desired result.
The entry fees dont need to be paid until the day if need be, but PLEASE people, let the man know if you are in.
The waters were tested with this thead http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/showthread.php?t=75827 but so far a number of the supporters have not followed it up with a entries.
If you are a starter for this event, please P.M Scrivy or myself to confirm, (Scrivy will be away for a few days) the paperwork can come later.
If the event dosent go ahead the organiser will be out of pocket several thousand dollars & this kind of event will never be attempted again, so think about it.
As per usual with a Scrivy run event, the entry fees are more than reasonable & are barely sufficent to cover costs because he runs these things out of passion for the sport, not to make money (a rare quality in these times)
All you guys that get off on the coro loop etc, why dont you enter a few of your road bikes, The wear on your bikes will be similar to a day in the twisties & there are no cars to worry about.
Looking forward to hearing from you all in the next week with your confirmation of entry.
Cheers,
Steve Bryan.

Who told you that? if you can wobble around then you qualify.

[Trudes]

Who told you that? if you can wobble around then you qualify.


As with almost all motorcycle races in New Zealand now, in the interests of safety you'll need a qualifying cut off time. 115% of the pole time.

This appears harsh to the folks that just want to go for a hoon on their road bike and do laps of Taupo, but Mrs Kendog if you can make a rear tyre last 3-4 hours of that track, you simply are not going to be within that cut off time.

For example, pole position is set with a 1.34. Anyone slower than 1.48 per lap misses that cut off. It also means the slowest riders are going to be lapped by the fastest every 7 laps. I can personally swap the rear wheel in my bike in under one minute and I'd anticipate making a rear tyre last 45-50 laps. By this stage the top riders will be seven laps up on the slowest.

As you can see, tyre preservation is important, but extreme tyre preservation is too detrimental to lap times.

That basically put me off.... that and having to shell out for tyres, so decided to just concentrate on racing in the buckets.

[sidecar bob]

Unfortunately Mr W.T is not running the event, so with all due respect, his opinion in this case dosent amount to jack.

I going to take make the assumption you have never raced for real on a racetrack.

People should remember that this is aint going to be your everyday track day where passing on the inside is not allowed etc its a race! People are there to win. If you are racing the guy in front of you and you come up to back marker you not going to wait for the safest spot to overtake you going to do it with some risk to keep close to the guy in front.

So for those who might get lapped my suggestion would be to get off the racing line as soon as you see that blue flag. (as per the rules)

Dont get me wrong im all for this event we need a good racing event in NZ

[Goblin]

Dont get me wrong im all for this event we need a good racing event in NZI think your assumption is out of line. AJ knows his racing and is right. The onus is on the PASSER to do it SAFELY.

As for the bit I've put in bold...Yes you will wait for the safest spot to pass or you will be black-flagged if you're seen putting others at unnecessary risk, or worse, take out another rider. But if you're that good a racer you'll just go round the outside or up the inside without a problem.

thanks goblin.....

yer i have "raced".... well I call it racing ...hahahahahah

i have even come 4th once or twice.. (think everyone else crashed.. hahahahah)

i am so dissapointed that i do not think i will be racing in this race... i was thinking that the buell would have made a good sound out there

[ArcherWC]

I could be wrong (I often am according to my wife) but I think the %115 rule is actually an MNZ one, and therefore as an MNZ permited event it would have to abide by that anyway.

And as a racer (kind of) myself, I know that coming up on someone that is going considerably slower can always be a gamble, even in a straight line. You just never know when thay may change their line and you often wont have much time (if any) to compensate

[enigma51]

Fair enough thats why i said im making an assumption.

As racer you know how much of a gamble it is to pass a back marker as Archer said you not always sure where they are going or even if they have heard you.

The last thing you want someone to do when you come up to pass them is to change their line, they should hold their line and let the guys coming up behind sort out how they will get by

Blue Wave Road Racing. Overtaking signal warning rider is about to be overtaken.
Blue Held Stationary Road Racing. Indicates that competitor is soon to be overtaken.

And MY understanding is that the warning is for you to HOLD your line so the person overtaking doesn't have to GUESS which way you will go.

And I guess if I am about to be lapped I am using the wrong lines anyway :mellow:

[Kickaha]

The rules must be wrong then

Show me the rule where it says you should move out of the way?


You better not get on the race track again mate, since you dont know the rules eh POKE POKE

Any advice to move to get out of the way is bad advice even if it is a pisstake, you never know who will read it and think thats the way it should be done


And MY understanding is that the warning is for you to HOLD your line so the person overtaking doesn't have to GUESS which way you will go.

At least you got how you should do it right

6-10 When overtaking, the onus is on the overtaking competitor to overtake without causing interference to the overtaken competitor.

The person being passed doesn't have to do shit and shouldn't be trying to get out of the way as they may move straight into someone else coming around the other side

[scrivy]

Well, sadly to say the Juniors is still at 6. We won't receive another 14 in 10 days, so their class is unfortunately going to be scrapped.
The seniors (in size - not age :whistle:) are still at 16, although I have only received 12 entries in my hand as yet, and another 4 entries confirmed, but yet to receive.

Not having the Juniors race (20 bikes at $120) makes me loose another $2400. I will still try to put on the senior race if we get to 20, but I will go backwards financially pretty quickly!! All the things I wanted to do with this Endurance meet will have to wait. It's a damn shame. I'd love to see 30-40 bikes going hard for 3 hours, and so too would the public.
I still can't believe in this bike mad country that we can't scrape together 40 mis-fit bike mad nutters for this!!

Sadly is right.:crybaby: Was looking forward to making this my big comeback.
What's up with all you 400 and pro-twin racers? Softcocks!:baby:

you could still do the senior class on the 400? you'll be faster than me on the old 600!

If I started another thread and tried to find 10 Streetstock 150 bikes to join the junior one hour race, Would you change your mind and allow them in?

Could be a backup plan if you don't get a flood of entries this week.
Just looking at other options for you.

Racey.

Comment removed. Should of researched.

Any chance off a 150SS endurance race then?

looks like im going into senior then!

[ajturbo]

Well, sadly to say the Juniors is still at 6. We won't receive another 14 in 10 days, so their class is unfortunately going to be scrapped.
The seniors (in size - not age :whistle:) are still at 16, although I have only received 12 entries in my hand as yet, and another 4 entries confirmed, but yet to receive.

Not having the Juniors race (20 bikes at $120) makes me loose another $2400. I will still try to put on the senior race if we get to 20, but I will go backwards financially pretty quickly!! All the things I wanted to do with this Endurance meet will have to wait. It's a damn shame. I'd love to see 30-40 bikes going hard for 3 hours, and so too would the public.
I still can't believe in this bike mad country that we can't scrape together 40 mis-fit bike mad nutters for this!!

Scrivy
if i wasn't going to be spending ALL my money and some of the bank's over in portugal.. i would have the buell in this race... (hoping that i would qualify!)

[ajturbo]

Im sure that won't be too much of a problem.

I don't race SS150 anymore, but will for this event. (If this is allowed).
I can think of a good 5 150's who would do it.
A fast 150 will do sub 2 minute laps on the full track. Ive done 1:57's on my 150. Considering most of the Juniour endurance racers are track day junkies, surely the option of having 150's in there as well wont be a big deal?

Could be worthy idea, too help pull entries in. The SS150 crowd is quite a close bunch.
fuck.. you mean i have to get my bike back up and running????????

if you guys DO go ahead with this, i will be back on the 20th nov, too late for entries, but i could partner someone.. and bring my bike as a spare.... hehehehehhe

[quallman1234]

I see MNZ told you no 150's. In the junior class.
Fair enough.

[vtec]

Have you got a bike for us Sketchy?

i thought that it was a pre-emptive get your shit together cause its on the ropes?? doesnt say that it is in fact cancelled. I could be wrong though.

Enter the seniors then.... or else no one will be racing :(

[worm13]

Since the jnr side of things are looking like they will be scraped is there any chance of us being a extra class on the day for a couple of sprint races to fill in the day this way if the day goes on you will still get extra cash from us but just not running us as a endro setup... just an idea.
its a total shame that this is the case as for jnr bikes dont get a chance to run in endurance races I would have thought that half of the f3 fields and pre89 jnrs from club racing would be keen on this, i guess total loss ignition is the killer with some guys.

[scrivy]

How are the entry numbers looking Scrivy?
14 received, 3 still to receive.

Juniors have been canceled:
At this stage, we only have 7 juniors. With 4 days to go till cut off, their race is unfortunately canned.

If we do get enough seniors to run, we will look at another class for filling in the morning. Don't know what yet. Clubmans? Roadbikes? Supermotos? Sidecars? Two-up races???? :shifty:

I too thought the same. So many people wanted to, but it is what it is.......
Total loss wouldn't be a prob over 1 hour. My ZX10 sidecar used to race all weekend on a total loss system, including fuel pump.

bugger!!! any chance jnrs can run with seniors if we wear a visi vest to warn the superbikes that we are a moving chicane and we can just apear in a blink of an eye!?
Well if you run a clubmans class count me in.... I still wanna ride one way or another just cant afford a senior bike between now and then :crybaby:

[Clivoris]

Sent my very hopeful junior entry in this morning. Come on youse slack bastidges. ENTER.

[WarrenW]

I in with Worm13 as a partner on the nice shiney bike you see at the left. Would be keen as hell to get out and do 3 hours on it. I am not keen to strip down my 11 year old TL1000s just to race seniors.

I wanna race - the only issue I see with lumping in with the seniors is the straight line speed on the 2 little straights, we can carry pretty much the same if not better corner speed.

What say you scrivvy? Can we ????? pretty please?? It WOULD make the numbers up.

Cheers

Hi guys,
Chris Lawrance is coming to Taupo today to check out the MotoTT boys and to flag at the MotoX this weekend. While he's here, we'll see how many entries we have as of Sat. afternoon, nut out what we're gunna do and let you guys know what's happening by Sunday night if possible.

If there are any more interested people to do the Junior class, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE give me your intentions prior to Saturday night, as we may just scrape enough together ???? I know I've said the juniors are canned, but we've had a few more give us entries - still way below the 20 at this stage, but it just might get there if people pull finger...... after all, the juniors is only for 1 hour!!!

Jamie Rajek has been putting in the hard yards for me a bit lately, and has tried to get some prizemoney up for grabs. I don't know if it's 100% yet, but if it is , it makes it even better for some of you!!

I just hope this goes ahead.
Even though I lose money on this event, I can't see anyone else prepared to do that also, so can't see this being attempted again in the near future.

Cool,

Have already secured 3 sponsors:
Carbines Engineering
Victoria Motorcycle Wreckers (in Melbourne Australia)
and Pakuranga Dental Surgery, as long as my teeth cost less than $500 we'll have some money left over from them hahaha. Currently no known issues with my teeth, but you can never be too sure.

This race is definitely getting special interest from enthusiasts.
