Wellington: Kaitoke - Buckets only 28 November

All right, thought I would drag my POS bucket out and see if it still goes. Catch you all there tomorrow.

I wonder if I can remember how to ride these two stroke things again...

Sweet. Lets see if you can scare the shit out me with one of your sneaky little up the inside maneuvers. Maybe there should be a rule for the sketchy. All sketchy's must go around the out side.

Naa, that just makes it more embarrassing when he still owns us all.

I know all the competitors are thinking the same way about the great day today the thanks must go out to Skunk and Nigel and the rest involved for putting on an wicked day well done guys. Cheers good effort Fishie

Awesome day, was fun to play on other people's bikes too. My mate Gareth rode really well too and he is now hooked. HOPEFULLY will see him again soon at buckets, and he is definitely fast enough for A grade. In saying that... Caleb is going a lot faster now too! I now have an even longer list of things to work on with my bike. But overall I still have a bit of fun on it.

Cheers heaps to the organizers Skunk and Nigel (and anyone else!), it was really an amazing day. Catch you all at the next one!

Cheers Hel's for a blast on your FXR - I really had a ball.

The reverse track race with the top guys was fecking impressive to watch. The speed they were taking through the last chicane was awesome.

You did well mister and the family had fun too!

Yes Caleb and I were pleased with our days riding. I was very pleased to get Regan out for a ride from Boyle Kawasaki. Hopefully bucket racers may get some more respect! It has been such a long time since we have had a dry day it was real good. Thanks to the organisers also.

We had a great time down there and will be back down, and with the weather it almost felt like the HB!!

A few photos.

Thanks to Nigel and Andrew for organising a great days riding. The 1/2 hour stints were cool.

[koba]

Yeah, Cheers guys for putting on such a good show.

Hopefully bucket racers may get some more respect!

Ever since my first go on one you've had my respect. It's bloody hard work and no straights to have a wee rest like the big tracks.

Does anyone remember what paper the Photographer/Reporter was from? And if there are any other photo's?

Just saving out some footage of the last A grade race. I had a shit day all in all. Trying to jet 2 different carbs and trying to go racing at the same time is stupid. I was having lots of trouble in the race as you will see in the vid. Reverse direction looks like 44 second laps from the vid. Feck it was hot work out there.

Awesome day, I didn't ride every race but still got in lots of track time.

I had my doubts about the endurance format, but it turned out really well.
Great to see so many new people. I talked to a few of them during the day and they seemed to have caught the bucketing bug, so hopefully they will be back.

I want to thank Tex and Brent for being our main flag guys, Dave for cooking the bbq and of course Andrew for running the show.

Bring on the King of Kaitoke series.
