Scuzeme's Taupo + HRC Experience

[scuzeme]

First of all it was a relief to get out of Welly on Saturday and head away for the weekend.
Arrived in Taupo about 2pm, man the afternoon sun was awesome, went down to the lake and promptly fell asleep on the grass under the shade of a tree.
Eventually got up to Miros Motel with a feed and some beers and turned in for the night.
Grabbed all my stuff in big handfuls and made my way down the Motel stair case on Sunday morning only to drop a whole 6pack of Montieths on the tile landing.... beer everywhere at 7am.... with Bill (nice guy) the owner just happening by at the same time (u should seen the look on his face).
Luckly it was only one bottle smashed i picked up the glass and left him the rest to clean up hahaaa.
Arrived at the track 7.30am and said a little prayer of thanks for the clear sky got setup signed in and prepped for the day, glad to see no Honda riders even bothered to ask for a spot in garage 17 but Ken KS34 did join me with his Gixer.
I must say i felt a little self conscience at the riders briefing as i was glowing white in my new Berik leathers and Alpinestar boots hehe and it was quite funny to see that while we were sposed to follow the track mentors for the first 2 sessions most people in the race group just overtook them after a couple of laps and started doing their own thing.
The emulsion round the edge of the repairs was a bit of a worry in the morning with the corner entering into the start/finish straight being particularly nasty.
The day was fantastic and big ups goes to Sparky Bills for crawling on bloodied knees to get me a late place in the fast group, HRC for making room when they had none, the mentors all of them for being approachable and friendly Ken KS34 for giving me the learn (mate they wont let you in clubmans u riding like a demon).
BTW did any u guys meet Sandra the Slovarkian girl on the CBR1000 shes gunna be one to watch ive never ridden behind a girl that had as much aggression and killer instinct and shes only done 10 track days she was carving up alot of the other riders lane splitting and outside overtakes! i have some footage of me trailing her for about 4 laps which i will post soon.

What did i take away from the weekend?... confidence for PMCC round 3 which i have decided will be my last clubmans race, ive gone from crashing out every 50 laps to no crashs in over 250 laps but my times are getting faster (touch wood), theres no shame in coming last as long as your not going backwards aye..i love this thing we do:headbang:

[wharfy]

Good write up mate, shame about the beer :) - New leathers eh.....
look forward to catching up.

[sinfull]

Good stuff man, shame to hear your quittin C/Mans
That resin is nasty shit in the morning sessions now aye (hoping the C/Mans races are last on the board on the 5th lol)
That sandra sure is aggressive aye and those 10 trackdays have all been in the last few months, don't think she's missed one lol !
You Doing Frosties trackday next tuesday mate ! That will be a good one for tracktime prior to the 5th !

[NinjaBoy]

Great to see you there Darrin. Although the glare of the new white suit was a little overwhelming - but I loved the No Fear eyes !

It was a nice day and but being a racer a little moisture shouldn't have worried you ;)

[scuzeme]

By Moisture do you mean:
a) the tears i had in my eyes at not being able to overtake Sandra or,
b) pissing myself when i was running out of room on the start/finish straight doing a front end mono or,
c) the dirty little shiny bits that were trying to re aquaint my face with the tarmac?

:bleh:

I didnt even see you on the track Gah did you decide to go in the slow group? :msn-wink:

That was that blue/yellow blurr that passed you on the straights and corners :niceone:

If it's who I think it is she needs to just turn it down a notch. The track day I attended with her she crashed once at the manfeild hairpin and woulda T-boned me at the same spot if I hadn't picked it up mid-corner after she overcooked it on a warm up lap.

[Toast]

Sounds cool...did they demo the new ABS CBR?

She won't turn it down any notches from what i've seen ! It's the red mist thing i recon, she gets ya in her sights and if she cant get ya in the straights she'll cook that corner ! I'll give her this much, she has no fear ! Like Darrin was sayin she aint easy to pass ! The only way of gettin round her if ya aint on a thou, is to get close enough (and stay there) till the sound of you up her date, brings a mistake !

[KS34]

You looked great dude and I'm not gay!! And by the end of the day it was starting to attract the ladies!!!!! I'll post the photo of a very relaxed and pro looking scuzeme tomorrow.:eek:

[scuzeme]

Yeah they had it there Phil
Aaron kindly came over to a group of us to talk about it and show us how it worked wasnt sure if he like it or not.

[discotex]

I was really hoping they'd get some tarmac wet and demo it like they have been overseas:

That's one of the reasons motorcycle racing is better than golf,
THEY wear funny hats and chequered trousers that are too short,

WE wear cool leather outfits :)

We werent allowed to overtake on the inside although i did brake the rule atleast once, i dont think it would have mattered that litre bike would have made up any ground i got in the infield alond the straights anyway.
I was just happy that the Yamaha didnt blow up hahahaaaa and that she never really got way.
I try an make sure you only see my behind on the fifth my fast friend :chase:

I was another watching the lovely Slovarkian princess , saw her come to greif at the Taupo track day , had a few drama's first was a loose lefthand steering bar she was swinging it in the pit's after pulling in , and then the high side I think she gave it a bit in that corner and hit that shit everyone has mentioned she took the corner with great style nothing looked outta kilta until her body went scootin over the bar's , prop's though shook it off and got straight back into it , once back in the pit's she got a little bit of attention probably a dozen or two lost pilot's ,quick chick if ya pulled up on her on the track you'd be doin alright ,even better if ya kept ya eye's on the track.
gotta find me a undergarmet like that /was a hot day .

Was talking to her and John on the weekend, tried to get her to reg for the pmcc round but i think she's still hesitant to jump in ! Only been doing track for 6 odd months lol but she will be in there soon enough by the sounds !
They getting into some serious coaching now !

Funny thing happened on the weekend, Friday she was hell for leather with every bike in front needing to be taken the next corner which cost her some close calls, but Saturday she was a whole different rider, (think John has reeled her in a bit) Was waiting to see some red mist when i shot past her on the back sweeper, but she didn't bite and i pulled away ! Seen John later and asked what the story was lol she admitted to gettin a little red misted when i did it, but stuck to the game plan of slowin up to go faster !
I say again watch that space ! Think they have come to an agreement of a certain number of trackdays staying rubber side down and Johns gonna trick the CBR out so it Hauls arse !
She's got the lines and corner speed, just lacking the patience to follow and wait for the openings to come instead of having a go at every corner and creating openings for others !

[driftn]

i have decided will be my last clubmans race,:

Great news mate, the best thing I could have done was get out of clubmans and go play with the big boys, I learnt more and got faster being mid pack in F1 than I ever did at the pointy end of clubmans.
Good work, look forward to seeing you cross entering to F1 soon.:banana:
