New Bucket Website

[Skunk]

The plan is for it to be a central site for all Bucket Racing in the country.

It's a portal - no forums or anything. Somewhere for people to find the local sites or contacts if they want to get into Buckteering. No plan to replace regional sites at all.

We want to add links to regional sites, listings of events everywhere in the country and random photos.
This can be one place to direct people to when they say 'what's Bucket Racing?'

Hopefully a few tips and tricks from the pros to help as well.

I've put a few links to club sites on there, and a few events. If you have more let me know. If you're the club Prez of Secretary then Register.

I've only registered it for a year so if it's not used I'll take it down.

Comments welcome too - knowing you lot I'll ignore them :lol:

Thats a great idea, very profesional looking site. :woohoo:

[nudemetalz]

Yes Skunk has done an awesome job of it !! :clap:

[all4A50s]

As per my application can it be developed so their is a resource part Skunk?

[Kendog]

That is an excellent site, thanks for putting in the time to create it :2thumbsup

[Slingshot]

I think it looks like shit :jerry:










Just kidding, nice one Skunk. The key will be keeping it up to date with events etc...so you guys, make sure you're letting Skunk know what's going on.

Maybe - I'm in two minds about that. I think the best resources are fellow Bucketeers. Forums such as this help in that regard (and I don't think setting up another one is in the best interests of anyone) and other than that the local racers have a fair idea of what works at their track - hence the links to local groups.

Register and add the Taumarunui events and contacts. Or just email them to me and I'll put them up.

you have TradeMe what other resources do you need

It's not my least favourite track. In some ways I'd rate it better than the Slipway.

But it's far & away better than Waipawa.

Still, you run where you have.

I concur...

and umm I know you gonna slap me (but you know I like that anyway) but...I managed to delete the PM you sent me with my registration details....:innocent:

Thanks unkie Skunk :hug:

[Skunk]

I've made changes (fixes) to a few things. The Registration page should now work on Internet Exploder.
Also fixed a couple of permission things (too much security rather than not enough). Anything you put up should now remain yours to edit.
I've given permission to edit pics that were put up by me to the person in the photo (if registered). You can edit or delete it if you wish. Let me know any issues with this (I can't test it as I have no access to passwords as a security thing. If I can't get them - no one can.)

[F5 Dave]

okay, why are some of the pics that flash up on the sidebar not in the gallery? There's a couple of good ones I'd like to see bigga.

[Skunk]

They're meant to be decoration.
They have to be added to the gallery separately to show up there.
I'll make them display bigger for you 'cos you're 'sphecial'.
Done. How's that?

[F5 Dave]

kewl. Now I can see the Bayden bike to bed joke.::

[quallman1234]

What Database are you using?

MYSQL?

[Skunk]

What Database are you using?

A free one, why?

[quallman1234]

A free one, why?

Just wondering :).

[Skunk]

For sale section (http://www.bucketracing.co.nz/index.php?pg=sale) added to the site. If you've got Bucket bits in your garage you can list them here.

[Skunk]

Well, the domain is coming up for renewal. Going by the response to the news on the site and the difficultly in getting the results...

Read more on the site if you're interested.

How much is it?

[F5 Dave]

Do we KB buy it?

[quallman1234]

Nevermind then :).

[koba]

yeah, what's it worth?

[Skunk]

Wrong end of the stick guys. The money side is cheap as chips $39.95 and I host it at home.

The issue is my time hassling for the info to put on it. Events, results, FAQ's whatever. I spend a couple of hours a week looking, and end up with nothing... and the numbers visiting is low. The little number at the bottom of the page is the unique visits since it started. This month it's 462 visits. Is it worth MY time for the hassle, for so few?

I opened it up to everyone to put what they like on it and those that did posted pictures... No info, help or anything like that - which what I'd like to see there. Fishie has added to the For Sale bit. That's it really. That's the main reason I removed all the users (did you notice?). This isn't a cry-baby whinge... just the facts. Seems you guys want it, but I'm not made of time :laugh:

[ajturbo]

i tried to put something on it.. but i could find where or how to do it.. and i didn't want to bother you.. i was pissed off cause i couldn't work it out....
not your fault skunk.. but did i read it wrong?

I'm with ya there. I tried to add something once but couldn't figure out how to, and didn't bother you Skunk cause didn't think it was that important, just would've if I could've.
What results are you after?

[Kendog]

I think the site is a good idea, especially for those new to the sport (and as a place to promote the sport)

What other content are you thinking should be in there?
Do the other areas load their own race results?

[Pumba]

I am as guilty as the next guy for not utilising the utility.

But for what it is worth I have had about 4 people enquireing about buckets in Auckland via the site that were gratefull for the first point of contact without having to sign up to of forum such as this (possibly not needed if the AMCC website was not so pitifull and confusing).

I dont know, its a handy resource but your right its hardly worth your time to maintain it skunk.

:laugh: I find that question funny because the answer is on the Bucket website... :laugh: <--- Note: Skunk's wrong here :stupid:

Round 3 Kaitoke. Last event at Roys Hill. Anything from Auckland at all. South Island (anything from anywhere).

If you have something to go on it - send it to me. Could you not log in or not add stuff?

[Skunk]

Anything you think would be of use to a noob or expert. I put all the results on there. First I hunt them down and kill them. Roast them slowly so they remain tender then post them up.

"Most bins wins"

That kind of stuff?

Round 3 Kaitoke.

I think it's already there, but it just has 'Round 2' in the name (it was the second round at Kaitoke, but it is round three overall)

Good call letting us all know what the deal is.


Could you cut and paste the bucket list on here?
If you think it is worth putting on that is...

[Kendog]

OK - I need Wellington Round 2.

No you don't, it's already there as well.
I think we have had three points rounds and all three rounds are already posted on the site.

You are that good :done:

[Buckets4Me]

I put a wanted add up does that helpNot quite the content I'm looking for but OK... Are you planning a spectacular crash soon?

[Skunk]

I think it's already there, but it just has 'Round 2' in the name (it was the second round at Kaitoke, but it is round three overall)
Fixed it. That's one reason I was fucking myself up.

[Buckets4Me]

[koba]

Yep. You were going to tell me when you thought it was complete enough. :confused:

Don't need to trim it. It's light enough. Unlike some of those porky Suzuki/Hondas...

Ye I agree 72 kg is just to much weight to haul around
so time to put the bucket back on a diet :innocent:

[Skunk]

Try 90+kg for Sketchy's. My steel frame is 79kg.
And 20hp. (Yeah, right.)

[Sketchy_Racer]

Try 90+kg for Sketchy's. My steel frame is 79kg.

Piss off, It's only around the 86 mark. And it actually does make very close to 20HP

Oh and i've seen twigs stronger than your steel frame! :2guns:
:laugh:

[nudemetalz]

bitch-slapping time, huh...

[Skunk]

I've added the Bucket List (http://www.bucketracing.co.nz/bucketlist.php) of Kobas to the Bucket website.

[Skunk]

For those of you with A. Graham Bell's book I have added the pipe calculator (http://www.bucketracing.co.nz/pipe.php) from his book to the site. Your need the book to lookup the Tables to get some of the info but the rest is done for you.
