Buddha has the best idea

Buckets should have their own class with the numbers they have

if the number of buckets plus number of classics equals less than 35 then they will be combined.

jeez you boys are slow??

***Classics and buckets will each have their own class***

I guess the word split must have confused ya.

so 2009 will be exactly the same format as 2008

I'm sure if you asked posty riders at sign if they wanted to run with the classics you would get enough to move classes to eliminate the issues you have, then the steward wont need to make the call?

It should be all good mr buddha, At least 2 riders i know of are still waiting on parts and may not make the grid and Mr Dangerous normally blows something up early in the day anyway

Hahahaha thats gold!

How are you doing the grid draws this year?

Im real hesitant to publish this on the forum, hopefully im not leaving myself open to a barrage of criticism. Based on last years results we will seed the first 2 rows. We only recorded top 10 in each race. Some may not like it but we said on the entry this is how it would be done and unless there is a major concern then it looks like this:

last years top 10 riders Tom bos, j buchannan, s.evans, T. blanchet, R Antonovich have not entered Buckets this year

so from riders who placed in the top 10 of any race.

Row.1
B.booth
A. hoogy
N. batchelor
B. Cotton

Row.2
J.hoogy
M. White
D. Dawson

Is it first in first served for the rest of the grid spots? I'm keen on second row

**steve74** · 11th October 2009, 20:31

hey mr D. you finished 5th in race 1 on the bucket mate.

K14 - yup, first up best dressed, you should all know whos fastest. or i could leave it up to the bucket club to decide. I dont care either way as long as those from last year get on the grid. last year was just so much safer and quicker to start the races with a grid draw. we will only do the first 2 rows (9). It will change after each round and be posted by the pit exit like last year. If ya worth ya salt then you will be on row 1 for race 2.

I would love to mate, only problem is you didn't run in motard last year. 36 in supermotard. 13 are north islanders. 18 KTMs, 2 Aprilias, a few husabergs, huskys and a heap of jappas.

You will have a blast mate, im gutted im not riding in it again. I have dusted off the bucket though.

Gahhh my wee 400 needed all the help it can get!

**gav** · 11th October 2009, 22:17

So paperwork confirming entry details in the mail this week then?

**steve74** · 11th October 2009, 22:30

should be on its way tomorrow.

We didnt turn anyone away. a few missed out on 3 or more classes. So chances are most people will have got what they wanted but some have had to have a number change.
