Just heard a whisper that to ensure the appearance of Fred Merkel at thursdays track day, there needs to be a few more prebookings !!!

So if any of ya are planning on turning up on the day to have a yarn/ride with Fred Merkel, it might be an idea to email (mailto:parts@motomart.co.nz) Martin to let them know your coming !
There is an internet transfer option for payment if ya wanna save yaself 30 notes !~

Thanks guys from motomart, choice day You were doing bloody well out there too ! Had the stopwatch on the wall there for one of your sessions !! Couldn't stay out there too long, shit them 15 min turn arounds was wicked !

Was all good though, were quite a number of quick F1, 2 and 3 riders out there in both groups to allow lots of lines to be learnt ! The Motomart crew spent prolly as much time wandering through the pits as they did on the track, so some helpfull advice and lines to boot ! Lots still to get the head around with setting the heavy beast up but was feeling pretty good by the end of the day.
Untill i used the corner entry speed, AJ had dragged me into doing (Something to be said for not using all your top end speed on the straights, them F3 guys fly through the infield ), to try and blast past the thou that had got between us on exit of turn one ! The conti sport decided to let go and send legs flailing everywhere, yuck ! Ok next step change the rubber lol

Thanks Guys excellent day !! Just enough time to come in try another setting and back out to test it !!

Hope to see more of em, brilliant advertising !! Ya got my attention !

Yeah think the ambo staff were a bit bored today aye (which is great to see) few went off the track but no serious offs, think that new paint was fixating and hard to keep the bike sideways on ! Shame we couldn't talk the cops into coming out behind us ! Woulda felt right at home then !
Thought for a while there it was a Raid !


Me too...hey WTF?!

Thanks to everyone who helped make this day possible.
Was great fun for everyone!
I was stoked to see everyone improving as the day went on. No major offs either which was even better.

I would however like some feedback.
If people can email me with good and specially bad points for the day and how we can improve it that would be great!

Hey guys! Thanks Motomart for the WICKED track day! I haven't done Manfeild before, only Taupo twice.

If anyone here is interested in some video footage of the track day, go check out my youtube page at: http://www.youtube.com/user/IPhantomLordI

I only take it easy because I don't want to drop my bike, or get close to dropping it! Still get my knee dragging though which is all good. But I am very interested in racing so if anyone could PM me about getting into Formula 3 (I can buy a bike for it) or other options just let me know. There might be some shots of a couple of you guys, you will most likely have passed me so you will get to see what you look like as you disappear in the distance haha.

Still get my knee dragging though which is all good. I wish !! Though i did find the other day that if i shorten my chain it does lower my bike height consiberably (single swing arm thing) !
