Cool. I will be down from Wednesday if there is any chance of getting to the track before the race I will be there.

Fast my ass. Every time I start fooling myself that I am going quick. I get passed buy sketchy or Fishy like I'm standing still. Them boys are fast.

I'm aiming to be there, I'd be leaving fri 6th & returning late on the sunday. I'll have space in the van for one bike & one body. May even be able to arrange some accom if I get my ass into gear & start grovelling to my usual Bucket makeshift hotelier & general all round good egg. Who's keen?

The question is: will I finish my 100 in time? (ho-ho!)

Hello everyone

Because we (BMRC) have hired the track all day we are going to have a lot of racing, looks like it could be 7 rounds per class + the BOB main event + 50cc NZ GP. The 50's will not be run in a separate class throughout the day, they will only be raced separately for the 50cc NZ GP race.

Supported classes are:

F4/F5
Streetstock
Motards
Pre82/89 (run together)

Here is a rough idea on how we would like the day to go.

I am VERY interested. I am assuming that I can enter both street stock & F4 on two different bikes? That's a hell of alot of racing, will see what the cost is but hmmmmmmmm......
