I like this idea.

Perhaps we can have an ongoing trophy that gets bits added to it by each winning 'Club'.

Nice shot. God forbid he gets some actual horsepower.

1 race Best 5 bikes and riders from each region 40 laps of some track. Instead of flag marshals we could just have guys sitting in bulldozers to sweep the bikes and body's away as the race goes on. Bit mad max but it would be war. As it always is.

The club bragging rights thing is a nice idea but probably not a starter for this season. Could be something to kick around at Tokoroa.
Something along the lines of top three from each area for each round points get thrown into a hat and the total at the end of the series gives the result and bragging rights.
Might have to do a drop worst round thing to take the distances into account, there were no Wellington riders at the Mt Welly round last year, not sure how many Aucklanders will make it to Kaitoke this year and HB would already be at a disadvantage with only two riders at Taumarunui (unless I got my counting wrong last weekend).

The Fast Welly boys certainly haul arse I must say.

I have seen the pics of mr. fish and he looks like he's in complete control

That's a pretty good post to fire up the locals.
If I recall last Easter, the fastest Auckland racer was lapped in a race by two Wellington riders.
Neither of those two have competed in the last couple of F4 GP's, but a Wellington rider has won both (on ya Andrew)

I just love the Parochialism and it's great you all love your towns and have pride in your riders.
Someone much wiser than me said (when I mentioned I was a little surprised I came 3rd in the last round) that I was the 3rd best of the riders that bothered to show up!
I reckon there is a moral here "show up or F#&* up"

A Third is a Third!
Not bad for a B-Grader

I have an ugly as Trophy that I would be more than happy to donate, it's more of a foot high marble-esque cup in an appealing shade of brown with faux silver embellishments.
I'll give it to Henk when I see him.

Yeah certainly home tracks are an advantage (boy have we gone off track of the original topic). It's hard to turn up at other people's track & do well. I'm usually quite surprised at the turn of speed the Chch boys get on Ruapuna at the start of the weekend & it takes quite a while to get up there. Mt wgtn is a particularly snotty track to learn & it took me many trips to be dicing with Dave.Dip. Kaitoke has it's tricks to learn as well, but at least the surface is pristine.

What was that wank Fishe got written up in the upper hutt paper? 'Flowing riders track comparable with Philip Island'

I missed that paper. I hadn't realised Kaitoke was that good.
Perhaps we could organise an exhibition race with some Moto GP riders.

yeah think Upper Hutt Leader has a distribution of a hundred or so (how many people can live in upper hutt?, I only see a few houses as I go past Caltex Rimutuka).

Actually the more I think about it the more funny it would be. MotoGP bikes on a kart track 220hp & only 220m to use it.

Yeah I think Fishe would still have em on the Lonchin.

The real question is 'how many people that live in Upper Hutt know how to read???'

[F5 Dave]

I understand there are a lot of pictures.

Here's the BS Dave was on about. Thanks to Damien Toman for the pic that I should have asked to use before.

[F5 Dave]

Ahh look at that for self flagulation/self promotion & several other self-only pursuits.

[fi5hy]

Just for the good of the sport Davey
