GLASS headlights to be removed or taped up to prevent glass flying if you crash .Plastic headlights are fine
Pack rack uppers to be removed -L arms to be taped over-preferably plugged.(plastic wine corks are good for this )

8 when leaving the track pull to the far right side of the track and nearing pits exit hold your left hand up to let other riders know you are leaving the track.
9 if you are unlucky enough to run off the track-Raise your hand in the air to let us know you're ok.Push the bike away from the track to a safe place -recovery vehicle will pick you up or you can rejoin if bike is undamaged.The nature of the track means if you crashed in a spot theres a good chance someone else is likely to -If you dont move then I will have to stop the session untill you dont present a danger to yourself or other riders.

12) the PITS speed limit is 40km/h and is NOT a stunt zone--stoppies wheelies etc -I concider this dangerous riding and will treat it as such

[FROSTY]

Ok guys. The track is definitely booked for 31/3/09. I will be there doing my thing. Money talks. A reminder --this is a great day for racebike setup
I WONT be using the normal track exit -exit will be down the dragstrip so it doesnt effect anyones laps or if someones doing a plug chop no offthrotle time cruising into the pits

[sinfull]

--this is a great day for racebike setup


Now there is a thought ! Is there anywhere we could tape off in the carpack or somewhere that could be used for launch practice ?

[FROSTY]

UM Mate --er the far end is a drag strip

[sinfull]

UM Mate --er the far end is a drag strip
Ummm ok should've figured that out when ya mentioned drag strip i guess !
Talk about look as far as ya nose, i've near run through the cones at the end of the back str8 a couple of times but never really looked lol

[Biggles08]

Frosty

why are you ignoring my request to join this trackday on the 31st ? I'm as keen and experienced as any trackday rider out there. I've sent you two personal messages and made 4 posts on here.

Mort

Frosty, I might be in for this one...will check if I can get time off work first though.

Mort....Frosty probably doesn't want anyone there to complain and make up stories of how unsafe the track day was....lol! I guess not stating a lot of "fact" tripe on here sounds like a good idea now huh? - in hindsight of course? :msn-wink:

[FROSTY]

keep the entrys comin guys
this is the chance you lot have said you want

[puddy]

...... Biggles me old cave dweller. ...
Do you live in a cave Marcus? :rolleyes:

[Xan]

Count me keen but will just have to lurk on this one, see how the vineyard is shaping up closer to the time. Great idea!

[FROSTY]

A clevver XAN would have a fiver both ways--pay deposit and then if ya cant go== offer your place to someone else

[MadDuck]

You sure about that? Xan pays and can offer his space to anyone?

[FROSTY]

very funny stirrer. :girlfight:

[Mort]

..........

[FROSTY]

a heads up .It turns out that Taupo track has really sharpened up their game.In the past Ive had to organise the ambo myself.Not any more. They book one if you ask and its added to your track hirage fee.
GOOD ONYA :niceone:

[Xan]

You sure about that? Xan pays and can offer his space to anyone?

Sure & while I'm at it I could just buy the track & invite just my mates. Might be the first one-person track day!

[FROSTY]

Nothing on that "lucky" sod that built his own track

[FROSTY]

Folks I've just spent a fairly long time talking to Mr Mort on the phone.
It seems to me after talking that he and I have a very similar outlook to trackdays in NZ--even if we have somewhat different ways of expressing ourselves.
A message sent to me via PM led me to believe there was a very good chance of him instigating legal action against me if things went wrong at this track day.
I feel that that isnt the case after talking to him "in person"

[Mort]

Yes we have spoken.. and yes it would have been good to be a fly on the wall...

First off... I should say that I didn't send the PM referred to above nor had I ANY intention of taking any form of legal action against Frosty. I am no Track day fink. Frosty will confirm that I believe.

Second... It would have helped Frosty's understanding of my points if I was not on his ignore list and he was able to actually read them. As a result, a significant amount of misunderstanding and hearsay occurred.

Frosty and I spoke at length. We have agreed that we are both on the same page when it comes to track days. We are both enthusiasts and we both want the best possible New Zealand Trackday scene. I applaud his efforts and those of other track firms to develop the track day scene.

We both want to draw a line under this dispute and move on. What has been said is history and I want it to remain that way. The hatchet is buried. :niceone:

[Bladeslapper109]

No exclusive club just as long as you have trackday experience.

So you have to have experience on trackdays...

How do you get into trackdays then?

[Hiflyer]

So you have to have experience on trackdays...

How do you get into trackdays then?

you go to the non "junkies" days that are held haha go to http://www.kiwitrackdays.co.nz/

i guess you get the details from there and register

[Mort]

So you have to have experience on trackdays...

How do you get into trackdays then?

Check out MotoTT (http://www.motott.co.nz/) too...

[puddy]

Or Redline trackdays. Or one of each! There's a redline one on the 27th, and MotoTT on 28th.

[sinfull]

So you have to have experience on trackdays...

How do you get into trackdays then?
Waaalll what ya do see, is ya come to a track day with me see and ya let me try ya bike out on a track see and i'll let ya know if it was an experience or not !
Nah seriously you first talk to your insurer ! Ask them who you would be insured with, www.motott.co.nz www.redlinetrackdays.co.nz or www.kiwitrackdays.co.nz ! There seems to be some favouritism with different companies for different trackday companies which is a shame ! Be prepared for a shock when it comes to your excess (sp) and call them a training day when referring to them lol
And book in with one or if your really lucky (with your insurers) all of them !
See ya there (maybe) look me up, i'll sell ya a fridge !

[FROSTY]

So you have to have experience on trackdays...

How do you get into trackdays then? Dude as someone else said go to a regular trackday or two. The reason being its a bit like first time on the road . Theres stuff you need to know /experience that theory just doent replace

[Bladeslapper109]

Dude as someone else said go to a regular trackday or two. The reason being its a bit like first time on the road . Theres stuff you need to know /experience that theory just doent replace

yea no worries

[FROSTY]

Youll have a ball dude.

[FROSTY]

answer to a question asked is in first post

[sinfull]

Would do some sinfull marketing for this, but turns out ya get infracted for that !
Sooooo bumpshhhhh !

[FROSTY]

go for it dude-- hey but dont panick its happening barring a major actofgod

[Peter Smith]

Very KEEN. I need to sort some time off.:2guns:
I need to keep an eye on Puddy, he might be trying out the old GSXR1100.:eek:

[dpex]

Hate to spoil ya day, mate, but the rules prohibit bikes on the track before 10am and after 4pm. It's all to do with something about noise.

[dpex]

Hows about, instead of just endless track-time, you set up a race or two. Impromptu and unofficial, but off the grid, flag down. Boom! I suspect there would be several contenders for such an event....Say 10 laps on Track 2? Easy enough to put the cones in place. And at least on track 2 this contributer has some level of competitiveness with a certain hairy person and a jolly, rotund Ge'mun, both of whom tend towards taking advantage of an aging biker on and aging bike....at least, till there's a few tight corners and not so many straights.

Just a thought. In fact you might like to participate. And knowing you, you'll turn up on a borrowed R1, or better. But that's okay. Team Zimmerframe won't mind towing you through the corners in his wake. :--)))))

[sinfull]

Hate to spoil ya day, mate, but the rules prohibit bikes on the track before 10am and after 4pm. It's all to do with something about noise. Tis staying a tad damp till 11 am anyway Dave, can't see much other than a few mild set up sessions till lunch with maybe an exhaust change, then a few 1234 combo's at full noise (like the 600's are doing to me), prolly roll on through to T9 a few times lol, time i checked the back brakes still work anyway. Then scrape the pegs in 11, test the stomp next lap keeping the same revs, up the revs the next etc etc .
The chicain, now i know where i want to be there lol its all about hitting it right and then exicutin it, have cut that corner once now after a missed gear, that one wasn't fun, know not to do that agin, it aint easy to rejoin there, cause ya aint doin much slowin down till ya have rejoined the track (like sliding through a stop sign) !
Awww can ya tell its been a week ?




this contributer has some level of competitiveness Bwahahahahahahahahahaahahhahahahahahaahahahahahaha hahahahahahah
Can i borrow ya bike for posties ?

The thing is, William...If Frosty has the nads to allow such a set-up...you know, like an impomptu race or two, I'd be in.

Question being, has he?

So there's the Q. Have you got the nads, Frosty?

Yeah, sure, there's all the rules and regs. But hey, when this country got started, it was started by men and women who didn't give a sht for the rules and regs. They just got on.

That's what we've lost. The spirit of just getting on. In favour now is safety, so all of our kids want to sit in front of fucking computers rather than get out there and hack it with reality.

Me? I'd like to hack it with the hairy-one and Mr You-Know-Who, in a semi private race. But oh gawd...THE LIABILITY! It's always the fucking liability which gets in the way of adults having fun.

I rave.

I'll go away now.

[puddy]

Very KEEN. I need to sort some time off.:2guns:
I need to keep an eye on Puddy, he might be trying out the old GSXR1100.:eek:
Time off? Sick day! Funeral! Have Monday off too! You're from 'vegas .....Tangis are three days aren't they?:clap:

[sinfull]

I'll go away now.
Why ?
And here was i going to give you a 30 second head start ! 10 laps ya say ? Rolling start work for you, or would you really like to see the torque of the triple ? (rolling would work, without interfeering with anyone else) But who's to say anybody there would be against an impromptue grid line up or two though aye ?

[sinfull]

Time off? Sick day! Funeral! Have Monday off too! You're from 'vegas .....Tangis are three days aren't they?:clap:
Nah 5 days bro !! Redline day, motott day, 2 rest days, frosties day, wed thur fri rest days, kiwi's day, Pmcc race day !

[FROSTY]

Dpex ---where in gawds name didya get the idea track time is limited 10-4?? Silly boy But yea the early mornings about scrubin tyres n stuff.
well tis the plan iff I can get my bike sussed anyhoo.
Day starts at 9.45 and will run till 4.30/4.45 depends how tired I feel.

[sinfull]

Anybody who may be thinking of attending this trackday get in while ya can, as Frosty has agreed to let me make up some flyers and hand em out to some of the more experienced trackday goers, at the next couple of days i'm attending !
I know most want to wait till the last minute before committing, but i for one want to make sure Frosty covers his expences !

[Mental Trousers]

Never could figure out why people wait until the last minute. There's limited places so if you get in early and can't make it someone will buy your place off you. If you wait until the last minute and nobody is selling their place you can miss out.

[sinfull]

Payments through Frosty ! Prolly show up morra morn !

[FROSTY]

thanks dude--loooks like 15 so far .

[Cajun]

thanks dude--loooks like 15 so far .

Hey man you take it easy out there sinfull, looks like its gunna be a mission keeping on your tail with all the practice your getting:sweatdrop. Shit im gunna have to really push ta get round you man, i had kinda planned on doing well ......... Gunna try get to taupo a day early tho (4th for the kiwibiker day) then i dont have to get up as early for my yoga session etc:laugh:

You know your gonna do alright on the day man (so long as ya sus that spring) Reacon that be costin ya a second or two
Tis me that is pulling out all stops to see if i cant keep up to the flying sixa
Shame ya can't get time off for this one mate, should be a couple or thirty fast guys out there to follow round, pick brains and generally wear ourselves out chasing !
Shame ya not closer, i'd say come to manfield on the 21st and do some cheering as i have a crack at some bears !

[dpex]

Heya,

The tel for Drury Performance Centre is 092947955

[DVS 69]

Hmm it mite be costing me a sec or two but its the cost of tyres its ruining that sux, i got no funds so im just gunna add sum preload an see how it goes, im gunna try getting sum launching practice too gotta get off the mark quicker:eek: Just sent in my entry for the 5th april this morning ..... Man i hope its dry ..... If not i'll have to see how i go with wets (never used them before) :no:

Anyway man have fun, have you decided what bike your gunna run with for the race meet ? Last time you were speaking of using the 955 etc

[FROSTY]

DVS mate Um I hate to sound like RT but long term if ya get it sorted then tyres are gonna last longer so really its cheaper--er If ya get my drift

[sinfull]

Sticking with the 1050, figured i was losing a bit with having to fight the bike to stay on ! Trying some stomp grip and using this trackday to realine the body so i'm gettin off a bit more like i do with the 955 !
Must get my entry in too !
And Frosty's right man for the cost of a spring ! Shit you nailed that tyre in one track day 2nd hand, but you sure finished it ! What your gonna gain in cranking the preload will take up all the static you had bugger all of anyway, so ya might end up with a waggily tail ! haha woof woof
Prolly wouldn't hurt gettin in touch with shaun Harris and pay him a couple of bucks to sort it, he might have the right spring rate there !

[Peter Smith]

thanks dude--loooks like 15 so far .

Hi Frosty, you can add me as well. :2thumbsup
I have put the $150 into your account today.
You may need to show me the racing lines:baby: as I find turn 1 and the corner onto the backstraight hard to get right.:mad:
I look foward to setting up the bike for the Vic Series round 1:lol:

[FROSTY]

No worries peter. --Ill carry a towrope in case that battry dies in the wrong place :devil2:

[Peter Smith]

No worries peter. --Ill carry a towrope in case that battry dies in the wrong place :devil2:

Thanks Frosty,
I always thought TOTAL LOSS refered to the rider not the removal of the alternator:laugh:

[FROSTY]

After a conversation with one worried punter. This IS going ahead no question.
And the format will be decided by those that attend. If most wanna use T1 all day that we will do

[sinfull]

I would so prefer to string a few corners together, rather than just doin Turn 1 all day (PT)
So hanging for some track time again, shit i'm gonna be on the start line this sat with no practise for three weeks rrrrr who wants to come in with me and buy manfield (someone wealthy)

[FROSTY]

I who wants to come in with me and buy manfield (someone wealthy)
No not Minefeild.. But hey why not the land alongside Auckland airport.
I always though that would make a fantastic place for a track.

Spose you'd never have to worry about the noise factor haha but there is always the chance of someone getting the two strips confused, in his glider !

There was talk of someone building a mega drag/race complex just out of foxton there for a while, i wonder what happened to them !

(gathers up 6 months worth of lotto tickets and heads off to check them)

[FROSTY]

well Ive got a bike to ride with brand new tyres on it. --all tucked away safe n sound in the gargre

[jahrasti]

Is this trackday still going ahead? If so I am keen.

[Mental Trousers]

Last I heard it was going ahead whether there was 30 or not.

[MotoGirl]

Last I heard it was going ahead whether there was 30 or not.

Ya riding up or carting the bike up ?
If carting it up put sticky sticky on !
If riding up get in touch, ya could throw the stickies in my van to change at the track, have the changing gear, all im missing is a static balancer (someone will have one there)
Edit: You guys are wellington way aye ? lol

Nah, we're only in Tauranga so we'll be trailering both bikes down on Tuesday morning. The 600 is in race kit so isn't road legal anyway.

Cajun has kindly offered to take the RSVR out first to get it set up all nice for me, and also because it's safer for him to ride it before he's been out on his 600. He worries that he'd slam the RSVR down too many gears and throw himself off it :doh:

[sinfull]

He worries that he'd slam the RSVR down too many gears and throw himself off it :doh: And your not ?
Hahaha good stuff, will see you guys there then !
I'm brining two sets of tyres on rims, with loose wets in the van (just in case) figure we will get at least 300 km in during the day, that'll chew out one set plus some !

[scracha]

Tony. Peso's in the bank mate. Now I need to figure out how to get the bike down there as the trailer is still at Drew's pad.

Gah...all my tools (the little I have) are down in my girlfriend's Toyota (rad let go on it at Cliffhanger) at Drew's palace. So I'll be on the blag for enough tools to remove the rear wheel so I can change the tyre (otherwise fuggit, I'll use the shagged on).

Wot I forgot though was my back protector is also in the Toyota. If anyone could be so good as to lend me a back protector for the day I would really appreciate it.

[scracha]

Good trackday Tony. Shame the numbers weren't there.

Highlight for me was winding Clive up about his new bike ...oh...and your matching blue boxer shorts.

[Xan]

Hey Frosty, top day fella, well organised, must do it again sometime soon after the headache wears off! Sorry for making it everyone's last lap of the day, not just mine! Mind you, I went through 3 tanks of gas so nobody can complain about the amount of riding!!

[FROSTY]

what goes clamk clank --KNACK KNACK-----
yep frostys van on the southern motorway. Sheesh this is gonna be an expensive exersize

[FROSTY]

hey folks Im really happy you had a good time . Im especially happy that it was almost incident free.
Plans for another ?? HELL YEA
Im really keen to stick to that type of format. But to cover costs Im thinking 2 groups of 20 riders. Basicly RACE and FAST. 20 minutes sessions then as people head home open track for the rest of the day.

[MidnightMike]

I'll be organising an album in my profile full of photo's from today, there was 295 all up so I should have gone through them all by Friday.

From there if anyone wants to purchase some they can just send me a PM with the details of the shots they want.

Meanwhile a preview shot:

Thanks Frosty for all the track time I had. Was a cool day. Nice to catch up with those there and meet Clive. Only time I've ever seen so few bikes on the track was the Bernard Team practice last year.

Your young fella did really well too.:Punk:

Still think two groups race/fast and moderate/novice as i don't think you'll get 20 race bikes unless ya can time it for the day before a race day !
25 per group on the full track aint that many either as they soon spread out !

Was a great day Tony Cheers mate ! Just a shame the body wasn't up to the time the mind wanted to spend out there lol

Message from William (no1 son)
Thank you Clivorus for bringing a bike for me to ride. all the way from wellington. Thank you the guys who gave me a set of leathers. Thank all you guys for letting me on the track with you.
That was the best birthday EVER.
Ohh and dad can I come to the next one -pleeeze



From my point of view I was really happy with his riding. consistant and smooth.

[Clivoris]

Tooo much Frosty. Thanks for putting this on and bringing my new toy down. And it was a pleasure to meet you William. Not many 13 year olds would have had the courage, discipline and skill to do what you did yesterday mate.
Was good to meet new faces and greet old.
I think I have worked out why I binned too. I was starting to get a bit aggressive into turn 3 and suspect I may have feathered the throttle at some point soon after the transition from 2 to 3 and simply overloaded the front tyre. Very suprising as I don't remember backing off and was fully focussed on setting up for turn 4. I thought I was accelerating. What it has made me realise though, is that I need more time on the new bike before racing it. I would be too dangerous at race pace so I wont be at PMCC round 3. Besides, my wife will be off playing ambulance officer on Sunday and I need to look after the kids.

[hedgier1]

Great trackday Frosty. Pissed off I didn't have my bike there. Got a heap of shots of everyone. Also well done will for your birthday ride ya looked great out there on the track and the smile was priceless.

[Mental Trousers]

That was a much better way to ease back into track riding than doing a normal track day. Traffic on track was virtually non-existent so I didn't have to look out for anyone. Could just concentrate on getting back into the groove and getting the feel back again. And those that did pass others didn't get groups of 3+ riders all jammed into the same piece of track.

I reckon for the next one have a max of 25-30 bikes on track at a time. Just closed pit exit until there's some bikes come in then open it again. Reason being that everyone there yesterday didn't feel pressured into getting their moneys worth so they didn't stay out if they made a bit of a mistake. They came in, sorted through what they did wrong and then went back out when they were comfortable again. Fix length sessions can see people staying out when they should go in and get their head together.

Excellent day. Will be at the next one too.

Not a bad idea ol son. Im thinking to run 2 rounds of fixed sessions to start the day then let everyone kinda do their own thing after that.
THe next date is set --2.10.09

I think I have worked out why I binned too. I was starting to get a bit aggressive into turn 3...

Turn 3 catches quite a few peeps out when they're riding at faster-than-they've-gone-before sort of pace, I suspect - the camber shifts off after the T3 apex. If you're going to whack the throttle against the stop before you set up into T4, be ready for the back end to step out.

kiwifruit wrote off his ZX-10R that way. And sinfull can testify that GSX1400s look real good from behind going slightly sideways at that point... aye!

:sunny:

What sorta tyres were you riding on?

Anyhoo, sounds like everyone had a great day, well done on organising it, Frosty!

It certainly caught me out. My memory of it was the front end washing out (and there were very clear marks on the front tyre) as I was accelerating through the apex after settling the change of direction from turn 2. But this doesn't make sense unless there is some change in track surface there that I just doesn't matter when going slower. I didn't go back and have a close look after.
I was on lovely new racetechs that were up to temp. It was definitely faster than I've done before. Probably fastest I tried all day to be honest.
