when will we know if there is going to be an endurance race? might have to pop over for lookey and see if i can steal a bike for the day.

[hmurphy]

Keen. Will be there. Don't rain for f*cks sake. Dry racing would be nice for once

[Kendog]

Yes yes yes.

Looking forward to this.

Well I'm keen as, but we'll either be waiting for the next nipper (in which case I might come with cell phone close to hand) or with new arrival & not so likely.

So who's going to the twilight one on the 13th? Is buckets there too isn't it?

[all4A50s]

Is there going to be a 2 hour or 2 1 hour endurance races?

Christ you're a breeder Dave. We should make you an honorary Mair the way you're carrying on.

I think if its bikes only day it should be to try and get more riders out. I think it should be a two person enduro. Every efort to be made to get a non curent rider on the track. There may be a problem with gear so some thought might need to be put into that. (Maybe a few laps taken off of the same bike and leathers used). The thought of swoping leathers in a hurry all sweaty no thanks.
What do you think?

2 hour enduro with La Mans start please in the afternoon and fastest/slowest in each grade shoot out in the morning would be great.

The other thing would be nice if the first hour could be used for open testing. What do you think?

Who is going to be doing the prayers to the the sun god for an actual sunny day?

Yep I second that. To make it simple. The winner could be the persons who crash the most and are still going at the end. Also I think it would be a good chance to look at lap times and set a lap time for Kaitoke that will put you in the A grade. That way it gives any new riders a target to aim 4. Maybe a 49 second lap. JUst puting it out there.

Yeah a casual enduro would be fun. Making it a lap times based enduro would be quite cool. At least then I wouldn't mind letting a few other people out on my bike rather than trying to do as many laps as possible and stuffing my tires and my body.

How will you rate the crashes? Here's a few suggestions;
Best head banger
Best Bum rash
Best co-ordinated

So will the minimum time apply to every lap you do or would it be at set times?

i like the idea of giving people the option of solo or team racing (as in previous years). Although we could always try three riders between two bikes.
