Taumarunui, 5-6 March. Who's going?

Best not to race B grade.You only get half the points ,so it stuffs you in the overall standings.

I guess you'd prefer to race B grade for full points and take away the overall trophy??? get real.

That kind of logic coming from you actually does not surprise me .As for the North Island series I wont be attending Taumarunui as I have already mentioned on Facebook on the PMC Club page a couple of days ago.

In all seriousness, knowing who is turning up both from posts on here and talking to people yesterday at Mt Wellington I know I would come away with a bigger points haul towards the series by running in B grade. Top 10 finish in A is probably more than I can hope for.
I have no idea what trophies cost in this day and age but if you want to run the B grade separate from A I'll kick in $50 for B grade trophies.
Was going to suggest it be called the sandbaggers cup but a dig at people running in B for strategic reasons isn't fair to the true B graders.

Dude, you serious?

There should be a cut off point for A grade and B grade based on lap times.This works well in Wellington and there is no reason why it should not work for any other series at any other track.There should be trophies for B grade as well seeing they pay the same entrance fees as the A grade.Any rules or regs should be made clear at the beginning of the series and not when it has run its course.

Oh FFS, then get your arse down to Wgtn and race here, behave like you behave in Hawke's Bay though and we'll tell you to fuck off.... No one is forcing you to race there and you certainly aren't exactly helping to run the events yourself are you?!?!
I think you need to HTFU.

The real reason to go to Taumarunui track is because it's good fun to ride. Its a simple track, but hard to master that extra bit of speed & a two day is great so after a few beers you can ponder it (mainly the sweeper into banked section launching you up the hill if you get it right) & practise your new ideas after the hangover has worn off.

When our little one is a little older & eating solids I'll be keen to get back. Have fun guys.

Hi all Caleb and I were hoping to go up BUT I fell of my trials bike and broke my thumb. So no riding for 6 weeks. Hope you all have fun and no one gets hurt. Look forward to reading the reports.

Right I have been told I have not been doing enough boy's stuff lately soooooooooooooooooooooooooo I am in :

Now I have already asked Henk this morning, but just as a back up incase he doesnt have space, has anyone else got a spare spot on a trailer/van/ute for my bike? I will be taking the car with my gear just need to get the bike?

[Arronduke]

Looking forward to this weekend....

starting to get organised.

Now what do I need.... shelter would be a good start. Food and beer...hmm lots of beer.

Thats it.

Rain coat might be usefull.. as would wets I guess... big stick to keep Kel away if he get to close at night.

[Arronduke]

Pumba.. I will try and borrow a trailer which can take three bikes. Let me know if you get stuck.

I will have mine and Kels at this stage...

You can use my trailer or try to grab Graham's one.

Graham's trailers got no spare wheel, as he dosn't think you need them.

If all else fails I can get it down there. Will have a full van on the way back though, could make the logistics a bit easier regarding pick up drop off etc.

[Arronduke]

I am borrowing Graham trailer... currently NO WOF or REG. But it take 3 bike piece of cake.
I have told him to get a REG on line and I will try and get a WOF for it.

If this fails Im taking my trailer... could still fit three on it but it will be ugly, it does have a cage which will help.

will up date tomorrow.

[Henk]

I'm going to take Carls bike down and Kamil has graciously agreed to bring it back.
So you can take your caged and legal trailer down and we can use it as a drunk tank if needed sometime during the weekend.
Thanks for the offer though. See you in a couple of days, the river becons.
