Get some wets, you'll be astounded.

I already am astounded........ by the price

Most people here still ride slicks and go pretty quick. The tracks are not to slippery in the wet. It's more my brain that has the issue.

I got mine for a fairly decent price. If you don't want to go down the wet road grooved slicks are apparently a realistic option. Bigest cost in the spare set of wheels.

Mount Wellinton gets incredibly slippery in the wet, hence the fact that damn near everyone has a second set of wheels.

Thanks heaps to hels and tex, you guys really did a awesome job!
Good to see everyone helping out with the tires, sorry we didn't get there in time to help put them out. Hamish forgot his carb, which he actually ended up really needing!

Wet was fun, but i'm pretty certain, i may have crashed as many times as everyone combined. I think i counted 6. Do i get a prize? =D!

Yes splendid turn out for the tyre rolling competition, thanks folks, makes for light work when everyone chips in.

In the old days (Grandad I am...) it didn't matter what rubber you were wearing, Mt W was a slippery sumbitch!!! Karters chain oil is the culprit.

Thanks to the organiser and riders that turned up. Was warm and sunny in the city when I left for the slipway. After a short time it started to rain. Got that misty you could only see about 20 meters infront of you. The mist did clear but not the rain until later in the day. The track was set up for clockwise and I thought it was a good flowing track. When it was anticlockwise it was rubbish no real passing places. When we went to change it someone had a hisse fit. We put it back to how it was. the last race was a freight train.
Was pleased to see no real crashes except Kyle I think he was enjoying himself still. Caleb had his little woopse in the worm up lap. Trublesome spot just there!
See you all next time.

Well we'll order up some dry weather for next weekend at Kaitoke huh? That'll bring the sad old men's bikes off the trailers (or van in my case).

Thanks for the help from Hellen and Tex. You guys did an awesome job!!

I enjoyed my day, been itching to race for ages now. Wasn't the greatest results from me though, but I did my best. Was nice to ride Andrew's bike, I enjoyed the power haha. I agree with Andrew, there was no place to out-brake someone in reverse direction which was a shame. Clockwise was a good track though.

Wellington buckers, I have more to say in the Social Group section.

When we went to change it someone had a hisse fit.

I love a good hisse fit, specially when its me having a spaz. I liked the track. I saw more overtaking in the last 2 races in A and B than in the other direction. Could have just been the track drying out. whatever. I think if someone wants to change the track after its been setup they should put it to the other riders. No big deal but we did fuck it up for the b grade race that came next. Different track between race and practice sorry guys.
