The new BMRC pressie got me thinking with his thread http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/showthread.php?p=1916014#post1916014 where he mentioned a series of sprint races for the battle of the buckets, I thought that it would be a fair way to race for all... but fark it the BOB is about an hour on a bucket so Im sticking to that, what you other racers think?

Please only vote if you race F4 perferably have done a BOB

One hour Endurance races are a lot of fun, esp if you have to have 2 riders.
It's a good test to see what bikes can actually make it to the end of the race.

Bugger the two riders - the BOB is all about endurance (note speeling Dangerous :lol: ) for both rider and bike.

Why not for the fun of it. Instead of two riders on the one bike for an hour, why not have two bikes per rider for two hours. Where the rider has to ride both bikes during the race?:rofl:

Did the BOB last year, first season and all. So I vote endurance, as that race rocked... it is all good fun having 3-6lap races... but by the last lap, ya just get into the groove, and it is done.... at least with an hour.... the world is your oyster. You can almost live the motogp dream, only diff being on a shitter, unless you do those fxr things of course

Althogh one year me and Diesel Pig got a second place sharing the ride as he'd fucked his bike earlier in the day (fuck he's hard on gear)

You could also work it so you end up with 2 riders simply swapping bikes (or having their own and sharing another) as in a team. Be real interesting if one bike had to be a 50.
