New 600 production class

[FROSTY:Me]

But anyhoo. I guess its pretty sad that people feel they have to cheat when theres basicly nothing but personal pride at stake. i can sorta understand when you are dealing with millions of dollars in sponsorship money etc

Christ, 115% of 68sec lap is 1m18.2s lap.

Dont have to be much more than a quick road rider to hit those times.

Even if they were doing 1m6s at the front ya only gotta do 1m15s

[wharfy]

if you can hit to the 115% lap time, then you SHOULD be in 600SP. set yourself a goal and go for it, whats the worst that can happen.

Umm...worst case. I could crash at Dunlop and take out series leader James Smith as he's lapping me and we both die ....

Likely case? You have a ball, learn more in one weekend than you have in one winter series, and are involved in some great racing for yourself, without hindering the leaders.

Best case? You find out you just needed to ride harder and puff the lot of us??? Could happen...

Yep, getting within 10sec of the leaders shouldn't be too hard, even on an older bike...Luke would damn near qualifiy on JLo...haha

trust me, Mr. Smith will have no trouble rounding your lifeless carcass, mid air or not. havent you ever seen the matrix.

From my experiences this year, if a guys good enough to lap you, he aint going to run into much trouble passing you.

Qualify for SBK! Now just to get it a dispensation on its 'age difficulties'. Maybe you could get an old 'Prilla thou to chase him up with?

Yip and I remember the 86 two hour where a certain Aucklander rode his bike out of the pits,Never to be seen again when asked to bring it over for a technical check.Still doesnt answer the question though,Do you think the cheating stopped or in fact even started with 250 prod ?

I mean,There were never any oversize F3 or F2 bikes aye!Or senior proddy bikes running on 10-20% methanol or with 6 speed gearboxes when the current model only had 5 or special models that only existed in Wanga... Oops I mean NZ or 600 proddy bikes that werent even homologated too race here and on and on it goes.Funny how you never hear much about that stuff huh

Heck I remember that day well, that bike was VERY illegal and the rider even looked like a cheat. He sandbagged through the first half of that race, funny how that bike sounded a lot different too....

Funny thing was,If he didnt try too be clever and protest the winning bike at the last minute.He would have been awarded 2nd place and nobody would have said a word.Still he was never caught cheating,In fact he was never seen again.
