Check out Bucket Racing NZ 'resources' page (http://www.bucketracing.co.nz/index.php?pg=rules) and as for a bike see Trudes. Try to get to Kaitoke on the 15 March as we'll have time to chat (combined with Karts that day)

Sooooo much fun!!! Definitely come along on the 22nd to Kaitoke. I have a bucket for sale and if she's ready by then and you're interested I can bring her along for you to have a try if you like. My blog has details of the bucket (her name's Pamela).

Another good Wellington bucket for sale here: http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/showpost.php?p=1949103&postcount=341
xl125s powered. Good beginner bike, would need more nylon for Kaitoke. Would be competitive in B grade, A with a good rider and lots of luck. It falls into F4 class.
