Found this information http://www.vicclub.co.nz/tiki-read_a...?articleId=121, not sure what time it starts, but looks like it's at the Kaitoke Go-Kart track (not the Te Marua Speedway), the Go-Kart track is near the end of the Kaitoke hill on the right side.

Yea it's at Kaitoke, turn off to the right hand side in the middle of the roadworks and follow the low road I believe.

It's costing me $320 including the wiring to get a tow bar fitted to a '97 Forester at Wellington Tow Bars at the bottom of Vivian street. I got a couple of other quotes from places like Pit Stop and a couple of others and they were all in the high $300 dollar area.

Hi,

If anyone is interested. I've taken some photos while I was there this afternoon. If you let me know which bike you are I can pass you whatever photos I have of you.

Cheers!

I didn't get to race, YET

, but watching looked as much fun as the last track day I went to!

Hopefully I'll be at the next meeting, even if it's as soon as next saturday!
Only thing, we need to organise it a little better. What I mean is, post the address and time to be there, as well as meet somewhere. I didn't know if there were any other KB'ers there - I'd like to come and say hi in future!

Hey, how do they work out placings? Or is there not too much emphasis on winning, more the actual riding?

i was there for a few hours too in the afternoon. I'm definately not averse to adding a bucket racer to the bike collection. any one know of a decent frame going cheap?

some good close racing. the new track is definately looking real good.

Got there just after the last race around 3.30pm.

Hope BungBung and F5Dave report on how their days went.

I'm suprised I even found the event and my bike is covered in dirt from the goat track down to the Kart Track. Apparently the sign that said the track was there had been removed.

I was on the 58 RS50 Aprillia my brother was on 32 RG50 and 707 KX85. The dat was not so good for me 2 offs the first was in practice I lost the front end spun around and saw F5 Dave coming straight at me that scared the hell out of me. (nice one Dave for not running me over

)

Hey Ivan,

Here are some shots of you. Can't seem to find number 32 though.

umm don't want to be picky.. but i thought bucket raceing was for trail bikes or road bikes.......or have the rules changed to allow MX bikes..???

some of those bike look tooooo flash to be "just" bucket racers....
