VMCC Winter Series

[Her_C4]

Soooo, who is committed to doing the full winter series this year? What class? What are your goals?

Who is new and giving it a go? Any more women giving it a go this year?

How many of you are doing this on the smell of an oily rag? (that is, no sponsors?)

Who travels the most to attend?

:banana::banana:

[Danger Dave]

I'll be doing the full season this year in F1 its my first season at the winter series and i've not riden manfield yet so it should be interesting

Money allowing, i will be traveling from auckland to win F3 and pre 89 post classics jnr on a bog standard honda 400.

sux that racing costs more then the dream i had last night.

[sinfull]

I'm a starter this year ! Just be a clubmans hoon till if/when i get chucked out of there and then become passing practise for the F1 boys !
Like to take this time to thank my sponsors ...........






Also like to thank McK, woodstock, JimBeam for providing the pain relief
The Bitch for keeping me company during those long treks up to the taupo trackdays for all the practise sessions






And of course Heidi, for keeping the dog company while i'm on the track, keeping note of my laptimes with the timing device i don't use, going without food, power, new wardrobe, tampons etc etc so she can afford to keep me in the lifestyle i enjoy !

Not to forget of course the lord above, for without him i would have no name to cry out during those moments on the track !

[rachprice]

I am going to enter this year in streetstock, brand new, havent been riding all that long so its going to be very scary haha

Im a student, so sweet f.a. money

Only in Wellington though so not that far away as most are in Manfield

[quallman1234]

I'll be with Moto-Academy this year again. Riding in the 125GP class. Going for gold :shifty:.
Also have put my hand up to help out the Streetstock Crew :). As some sort of payment to the Vic-Club for supporting me with a scholarship in 2007 to get me racing :).

Realistic Goals for the year are
Break in to the 16's in the vic series.
Succesfully help out the Newer riders in Both Moto-Academy and Streetstock.
Have a good consistent season.
Learn more about the sport.
Get a top spot in the championship, and some solid training for nationals.

Cheers
-Kyle

[Duke girl]

I'll be there yet again in my lingo language amusing those who need amusing with my call outs over the PA.
Well done Rachprice for getting out there and giving the streetstock class a go this year. I wish you well for the series and I hope that you enjoy your racing with us.
And to all the other New Commers who are going to give this great Sport a go this year, I wish you well and I hope that you enjoy your 1st taste of Motorcycle Racing with us. Its always a pleasure to meet New Riders and to follow their racing thru out the season. Goodluck everyone and enjoy the experience.

[Racey Rider]

I'm making plans to have another assault on the Streetstock series. (still got plenty to learn).

For this to happen, I need to find a motor for my KR150, so please keep an ear out everyone, and tell me if you know of a crashed KR anywhere.

Another option is leasing a RG150 for the series if anyone has a spare one?

See you out there.
Racey

[xr-rider]

i'll be doing my second year of street stocks

[Deano]

My goals are to break into the 1.15's at short track Manfeild, and retain 3rd place in pro twins or better.

I am hoping my current sponsors will again help me out through 2009/2010.

[Tony.OK]

If miraculously work picks up or someone donates some coin I'd like to do the whole series.
Goal this year would be to finish top 3 in F1 and break into the 1.09's.

Any donations to help with goal would be greatly appreciated and layed down on the track in the form of rubber:2thumbsup

[Toast]

Sadly I'll likely be giving the Winter Series a rest this year...just can't afford to save for a new bike and race, so I'm selling the CBR :(

Hopefully be back next year with a flash 600 :D

[CHOPPA]

Ill be there again just in F1, long haul from hamilton each time but others come from auckland...

[Goblin]

I will be in f3 or posties but cant afford the travel and accommodation down to Minefield.

Really looking foward to grid starts and turn 1! :woohoo::headbang:

Edit: Just waiting on entry forms and getting bike ready.

[Shaun P]

I might turn up - if I can get a bike sorted :shifty:

[wharfy]

I'll be back...
Goal is to go fast enough to get kicked out of clubmans into 600's and not hurt myself or my shinny new bike :)

Major sponsor - Kiwibank - but they don't know that :)

[koba]

Yeah, I'm in this year.

[Str8 Jacket]

Yeah, I'm in this year.

Well only if you *have* too..... :rolleyes:

I should be in for the entire (fingers crossed) season this year. We'll see what my bike decides to do... But I am hoping to complete a whole season of street stock and I am pretty sure that there'll be a few other chicks with me this year! :yes:

[scracha]

I'll be back again. Goal is a top 3 in pre 89 on the 87 hurricane and to get a 1.19 on the CBR400 in F3...
oh...and to learn to ride in the wet half decently.
..and beat Chris Fry when he doesn't fall off
...and not crash
....and embarass some F2 riders
....and not spend too much money
.....and have lots of fun

[Nicksta]

i'll be there with bells on for my third full winter series.....

F3 and post classic assault again i think.... as long as its not too much more to cross enter... traveling from the 'naki now so no more 7 hour long hauls to/from aucks :)

my goals are simple: to have fun.. aim for a top 10 overall like last year in both classes... and always, help promote my sponsors who are the awesome people who make this racing thing happen for me (see my sig!)

[glice]

I'm going to be starting racing this season. I'm one of the new guys with the moto academy and I'm really looking forward to it, but also a bit nervous as I havnt done a huge amount of riding. Will be good to meet some of you guys. I'm coming from auckland, so I'm gona be doing a bit of driving back and forth.

You are going to be hooked like the rest of us soon :wari:

[Benk]

Yup, Ill be there for my first winter series. Initial goals are:
1. Better starts
2. Consistent 1:22's at Manfield (for starters) and 1:49s at Taupo
3. Beat Sharky at all costs :2thumbsup

[Sparky Bills]

Im sure Mr Chappell will have something to say about that...:whistle:

Ill be back doing it again this year. The weather better be a little nicer this year!
And who isnt racing on an oily rag...?
Everyone is struggling to do it. But its what we club racers do ;)

[Peter Smith]

Where can I find the details on the series (dates/track/entry form)?:confused:
I'm just getting back into racing and need the track time.:dodge:
Havn't raced at Manfield for some 15 years, some guy called Chris Boyle was punting an old Duke.:laugh::bleh:

[Duke girl]

For all of those who are contemplating on racing with the Vic Club in this years Actrix Winter Series if you log onto our website www.vicclub.co.nz you will find all the dates and the track lengths we are using this year.
Also Vic Club memberships run out on the 31 March 2009 and renewals are from April 1 2009 until March 31 2010 and you can print them off the site and all details are on the form so I look forward to receiving your renewal/new membership form from all of you out there who are going to remain as members of the Vic Club and also to those who are going to be joining our club for the very first time.

[Peter Smith]

Thanks Duke girl,
I'll be at round 1 in Pre'89 on my GSXR1100 and see how it goes.:whistle:

[Quasievil]

I will be in to it this year, looking forward to it, goals are to basically get better on the Motard and improve my speed overall, if I get nicely into a upper top half position in the feild I will be a happy chappy.

[Duke girl]

Good to see that there are some very keen riders out there who are wanting to compete in our series and that most of you have great positive attitudes about doing so.
Lets hope that these tough times we are all going through will soon come to an end and that those of you out there who can't afford to race in this series can still manage to come along to the racing and support those who can.
I look forward to seeing you all there regardless of whether you are out on the track giving 100% or behind the wall cheering on those out there who will be no doubt giving you some very close and exciting racing throughout the season to watch. See you there!!!!!!!!!

[scuzeme]

Yeah i will be there competing in the whole series not sure whether its clubmans or F2 tho just depends if i want to race in the top half of the field or b last in F2 knowing what you wanna do and what you should do are not always the same.<_<

[scracha]

no more 7 hour long hauls to/from aucks :)


Yeah...that's the bit I'm not looking forward to. Plan A is to get lifts from Wellington airport to the races.


Roll on Hampton Downs

[Str8 Jacket]

Unless you would prefer to sleep at the airport on Fri night and we pick you up from there on Sat, that should probably read, "roll on airport bus"... I dont fancy pillioning you to home from the airport on the FXR. Poor lil thing probably wouldnt even start! :p

[CHET]

Ill be there (may miss one round though) my goals are a top five in posties jr and top 8 in f3 if i get the ol girl ready on time.

[MOTOXXX]

I'm hoping to enter all rounds this year, looking to get another top ten F3 finish and another top 5 postie jr finish.

Im very interested to see how two very fast green bikes will go this year...

[glice]

You are going to be hooked like the rest of us soon :wari:

Hope so. I havnt even started yet and its all I can think about!

[Her_C4]

Great stuff guys and gals!!! Really good to see some new entries and a return of the old.:yes::scooter: Some good goals outlined and I hope you get to see them and more!

I look forward to seeing you all out there (through my camera lens of course!).:sunny:

[TK3]

Depends what rules they are going to use for the motard riders, Are they going to let us put our leg out or not???

[TK3]

I will be in to it this year, looking forward to it, goals are to basically get better on the Motard and improve my speed overall, if I get nicely into a upper top half position in the feild I will be a happy chappy.

You going to do the display at the stock cars???

[sharky]

Yup, Ill be there for my first winter series. Initial goals are:
1. Better starts
2. Consistent 1:22's at Manfield (for starters) and 1:49s at Taupo
3. Beat Sharky at all costs :2thumbsup

Hope you're not insinuating any foul play buddy :whistle:

It will be my first winter series also. At this stage will only be doing the Taupo round and the two 2 dayers at Manfield. But if I don't break anything may do more.
Looking forward to it.

Goals: Get faster!

[White trash]

I'll be there. Spinning spanners and crewing for the LG Motorsport Team, Choppa and Eddy.

Might even make a guest appearance on track if invited :shifty::shit::tugger:

[Weaver]

I'll be there in Streetstock. Hoping to do better 1:30. Finishing every race is my main goal.

[Clivoris]

Better bring Quadzilla then. Maybe pitbikes on the infield at lunch-time? ACC will love us.

[Her_C4]

AWEsome - I will record the event for posterity (and potential bribery)...:2thumbsup

[speights_bud]

I'll be there, not sure if i'll have a bike to ride yet, Will be putting Garry my mechanic/brolly dolly from last winter series onto the RG150 to give him a crack and see how he does, still have good support from Fivestar Suzuki, Doohan Racing and EVL customs.

i have a MC21 NSR250 im trying to re-build, looks like i'll need to get some pistons from overseas if i want to ride it, apart from that it's all good to go.

so unless i finish the bike or can strike a deal with someone on a bike for the season i'll be taking a turn at spannering and coaching garry as best i can :yes:

[roadracingoldfart]

Pitbikes be damned ---- Theres always more than one way to expand the team Clive !!!! :rolleyes: :hug::confused::niceone:

The Dalton brothers are already on ACC Christmas card list mate :D

Ask the club :yes:

[Clivoris]

Word from the top is that you can hokey tokey all you want in motards. We are also doing the sums to see if it is worth running an S1 and S2 championship in the same race. What do the motard boys think? Might need a seperate thread as would be good to get feedback on whether the chook chasers want to use the full track or stick with the reverse short circuit at manfield?

[t3mp0r4ry nzr]

Yeah...that's the bit I'm not looking forward to. Plan A is to get lifts from Wellington airport to the races.


Roll on Hampton Downs

I should be attending most meets, dependant on getting this POS going! The option is there of hitching a ride as plan B

[TK3]

Ask the club :yes:

I thought that is what I just did?

[Matt Bleck]

I really want to do the whole series this year if I can ($$$$$$$$$), just need to do some work to the K3 to get her humin!!! Really happy that there is a few rounds on the long manfield track, it's lookin like a great series..... again!

personally I think that the S1 and S2 should run together but as a seperate championship as you suggested, we generally always race together so thats sweet, I like the idea of the short reverse track however only if we get enough laps to make it worth it, ie if everyone on the full track gets 6 laps of the full track and the motards get 6 laps of the short reverse track I dont think that is fair, our actual track time is tiny, I cant recall the time per lap on the short track but total time should equate the total time in the other classes......I mean we pay the same eh

[Matt Bleck]

Timmay!!!!!! :scooter:
see you there my banjo playing amigo?

[driftn]

I wont be able to do the full season this year but will do the last half for sure on me k3 thou. Goal's realisticly beat my times I got on the SRAD so sub 13's and keep up my record of being the only mair not to stack it on the track. Dreams/ hopes if you will is to break in to the 1.10's.

Shit mate..............the amount of shaking you did after your 1.13, if ya got into the 10's you'd need ambulance staff to cart ya off:msn-wink:

And the padles to shock me back in to life, you just caught me at a bad time mate. I never thought that I could do a 13 on that old nail, must be a problem with the timing system i reckon.

[roadracingoldfart]

I thought that is what I just did?


You may have attracted the attention of certain club comittee members who are also members on KB , but to ask the club properly you really should address it directly to the club and then it can be talked over in the way the question deserves..... thoroughly. Then you , and others wondering the same will be informed of the outcome.

The VMCC does not run KB, but it does run a very very good race series.
To get a good answer to a question , ask who can answer it.
(No im not saying Clive cant or is unqualified to answer it. )

My 2 cents worth.

Good point Paul. I treat these online queries like questions that might come up at a polite dinner party where motorcyclist of refined manners and taste congregate. I will give the best answer I can, but it is my answer not the club committee answer. 9/10 I even get it close to right.

Well dont expect polite dinner parties at my place brother. I dont know any polite people :dodge: ;)

Thanks for that clarification . :2thumbsup

Paul.

[GIXser]

The Dalton brothers are already on ACC Christmas card list mate :D


yeah twist my arm... im comin :) at least jimmy and i can get pissed up at the koru lounge....before and after :)

also i reckon vmcc need to run the F1 and F2 together if insufficient entrees to F1 and make em 10 lappers or more ...

[Duke girl]

It has been put on this site so many times that if anyone has any questions that they would like answered regarding anything to do with the Victoria Motorcycle Club they should contact the club via their email address which is as follows: www.vicclub.co.nz. This is the best way to get your questions answered and any issues you have discussed between the committee members.

[Her_C4]

Where are all the F2 riders? Come forth I say! Show yourselves:eek:

[johan]

You will probably see me at the F1 grid now and then. Probably the slowest F1 machine out there, but hey, for the love of racing ey!?

[Teambwr47]

Where are all the F2 riders? Come forth I say! Show yourselves:eek:


I'll be there for the whole series this year even though I'm not looking forward to the monthly drive to manfield....:no:
