Ruapuna full track I think Al Hoogie is around 1.56 Superbikes are 1.30 3.46 km
Hey Rich have you got any laptimes from last year?
My neighbours diary says I have boundary issues
When we come down alone the most sophisticated timing we can do is "Hickedy-pickledy-one. . . " The sweeper usually happens at Hickedy-pickledy-eleven & I lose concentration as someone dives around the outside blocking the path past a fast starter slower cornerer.
Heck I still haven't organised sailing etc. Wanna take my bike down Rich?
Don't you look at my accountant.
He's the only one I've got.
As its the first time we have had timing on at Tokoroa (I think)
Rick takes the honors with a 43.400
Would be interesting to see the times now with noise restrictions being enforced.
Yes 4 strokes are for homos. Homo-sapiens that is, who have realized bigger is better.
More noise doesn't make more power. A lot of engines like a bit of back pressure. On the other hand, especially during longer races loud bikes make you tired faster, not sure why but it does seem to make a difference.
Stock is best
My bike is a lot smoother with back pressure but needed to have the fuel map redun (thanks Ren) when we changed the exhaust. Now I just have ride it to it capability and stop nannering around on it.
Still seeing if the louder bikes have any timed difference will be an interesting exercise to prove/disprove if there was any point in letting the bike get that loud in the first place.

I don't understand the term back pressure. In theory I thought the muffler is only there to simulate the end of the exhaust system and send a scavenging way back to the cylinder while keeping it quite. Lap times have nothing to do with how loud a bike is, its the way the bike is ridden. Poor tuning will effect lap times. Not sure what you are getting at. There is know proving / or disproving. You tune to the rules and thats that. I am sure I could make a loud bike that made a little better power with an open megaphone but no point coz it would then be illegal.
Anyway its about time we borrowed some transponders from the Kart club and recorded some laps. I am sure the old Kaitoki record has been smashed many times.
