Who is entering the Taupo Supermoto 2 hour this year?

[CHOPPA]

Are you guys going to be running a grooved road tyre on the back for dirt traction or full blown motard race tyres? What's the best way to go about putting more grooves in your tyres?

The best tyres to run last year were cut slicks in the dry and wet road race tyres in the wet. We ran cut slick on the rear and road wet on the front cause it was pretty wet

Be warned Choppa, it'll take a bit more time in the pits fitting up the sheepskin cover...

Could somebody post up a link to the event details? I can't seem to find any, mainly because I don't really know what I'm looking for.

I might be interested in watching from the side.

It's hard to find I know. Here's a general poster thing: http://www.supermotard.co.nz/temp/Mo...AD%20GUIDE.pdf

Some info on the race:

Date: Saturday,July 30, 2011

Venue: Taupo Motorsport Park

Track: This will be approximately a 60% tar seal, 40% dirt circuit. The tar seal section is the 2.2kms part
of the Taupo circuit. The start will be on tar seal, on the main grid on the start finish straight. After the
first lap, the track will exit the circuit via the pit lane, cross the car park area behind the pit complex to
the dirt section, which will include jumps and berms, plus a flat track section. Where the dirt section
rejoins the car park tar seal, the track will then pass back into pit lane and on to turn 1 of the circuit. We
envisage that a complete lap will be about 3.5kms. The finish line will be on the dirt section over the
timing loop.

Hi Guys. I know this is a bit late in proceedings, but nevertheless let me put it out there and see if a partnership could help a team.

RideLife and Bike Passion (the importer of Heidenau tyres), would like to offer some team a deal on Supermoto tyres for next weekends Taupo 2 hour.

Option one.
Free use of our demo set of ‘Wets’ or ‘Drys’. 120/70-17 and 160/60-17
We have a set of slightly used silica wet tread tyres.

A New ‘intermediate’ compound wet tread front.
and for the rear, we’re thinking This new road K80 might handle the off road section quite well.


We also have a intermediate front in a 110/70-17 if that’s a size you prefer.


For the right team, these tyres could be supplied free of charge, in exchange for some feedback, and Stickers on bike. (bit late now for programme reference)
You just pay the freight to send them back after race day.

Option two.
a 25% discount on new tyres should you wish to retain tyres for future use.

Seems fairly straight forward.
Questions?
Interest?

Cheers.
Racey.
