Auckland Two Hour Mt Wellington

**Schrgd** · 6th November 2009, 14:54

Sooooo.......... Just over a week to go till the two hour.
Although it my 1st one, I can't wait. I watched the last one from the bank and that was my 1st experience of bucket racing, now there's three fxr's in the family. Another mate has just brought one hoping to get it ready in time also.

So who's teamed with who?

Who are going to be the one's to watch?

How many are travelling up from other tracks?

Does anybody need another rider?(might have bike and/or rider spare if needed)

Will there be enough parking??

Ahh the two hour, might be strugling this year to improve on my fourth place from last year at the pace everyone has been going latley.

Me a Scott (not on KB) will be teaming up for the second time, shit I hope the weather is this fine in a couple of weeks

Me and Tim are going to have a go again we were so close last year so with some help off track with lap scoring we should be going good but you never know its hard on bike and riders half hour stints or one hour ???

Christ I am dead after 30min. Fuck an hour

Got me mate Craig lined up for a partner, only seems fair after all the effort he's put into the bike. Lending the old girl to a guy from work and a mate of his. Hope it doesn't explode on him. Just got to convince Craig to stop being afraid of breaking the FXR.

Hour stints..........Holy, I can barely do a whole 10 min practice.

**Henk** · 6th November 2009, 20:53

We're going to start with 20 min stints droping to 15 if that turns out too much for a couple of aging slow guys.

Well with only a few days left it's very quiet in here...
Either everyone is feverishly working on their bikes hoping they'll make the distance, or off at the gym doing some endurance training. Personally I have been a slack bastard and done virtually nothing. I did give the bike an oil change and quick once over on the weekend so she's good to go, not so sure about me though

It will be interesting to see how many entries there are, with the resurgence in popularity of buckets there should be a huge field.

Saturday

North Island, becoming fine in the morning, but cloud increasing in the west later. South Island, rain spreading north along the West Coast, scattered rain developing in the far south,and mostly fine elsewhere.

Sunday

North Island, a few showers developing in the west and south and turning to rain south of Waitomo, dry elsewhere. South Island, rain in the west and showers in the south, mainly fine elsewhere.

Looking good hopefully.

Have you fixed that Chrystal ball ? LOL I'm not so sure What about a team with a superbike champ and a very fast learner that team will be hard to beat and at leased 4 more teams I can think off are in the running Is DD riding with his brother and Karl with Dave M who is your team mate Unstable Should be great fun busy busy riding

**UNSTABLE** · 12th November 2009, 18:06

I've got Doug Stockwell riding with me, he managed to drag an old 50 home in 7th last year, we will see what he can do on something with a bit of power... There are definitely a few fast teams out there that will be hard to beat. I'm just gonna go out and have a bit of fun.

I'm one very unhappy happy camper actually.
This invisible man that people go and see on sundays, has given me bloody appendicitis!!!
I was in hospital till yesterday.

I'll be out there to support the Thorp teams though-going for the father son trophy!!!

Hope it snows!!!!!!...HAHAHAHAHA
I'm wishing someone to pull out of TRRS so at least i'll be able to make one major race this year.

I worked out the average lap speed for the win last year-it was in the 31.5s for the whole race of 227 laps. (that's taking into account the stop aswell)
Those boys out the front are fucking fast-and i'll say will be even quicker this year. Look forward to seeing this great race.

Good luck everyone.

Bugger, that's not good! Get well soon, you might get lucky and get a spot at Taupo, a few will probably pull out closer to the date.
