Buckets in the BOP

[Farmaken]

woo hoo. now this sounds like fun. id be dead keen to get into this! but would need to buy a bike first!

Go see Mike at Whakatane Motorcycles he may have something to get you started

[Farmaken]

YES keen as beans!!

As Henk said AMCC meet that weekend, but it is only a fun day.

If you could come up with a little bit more info for us to make a decision to come in december that would be great.

I understand it's a kart meet, but, how much track time are we looking at? 1 10 min session? or a few 20min sessions or what.
How much to enter for the day?
Gates open at?
Racing starts at?
Ect

But yes you will get lots of intrest from us (bucketeers), especially if you can wrangle us access to the track for a whole day or weekend to run our own meetings without the karts.

I'm sure we can get a group of us to come show what we are all about.
My wife and I are keen to come in December and run depending on some details.

Sign on would be at 9:00 am
No engines started before 10:00 am
We will get four ten lap races plus a final race of at least ten laps ( practise runs before racing starts ontop of this)

Nay not sound like much running but ten laps hard out might be enough for a start , and we need to fit in with the Karts on this occasion.

Cost will be $25 for the day

That's a good amount of track time and an entirely reasonable price.

Yep agree with Koba, thats a lot more track time than I was expecting to get and cheap too.

Well after talking to Shona put us down for two riders confirmed.

We will prob head near there on friday night after work as we have a place to stay at Pukehina about 1/2 an hour away.

Looking forward to it!!

So who else is keen to come from Auckland?
should be able to put some people up for accomodation the night before about 1/2 hr away.

[Dutchee]

Would love to, but next time. We've missed some Mt Welly meets this year (could only be one, but seems haven't ridden there for yonks), so don't want to miss the fun day.
Sheesh, it's been months since I've been riding with Shona, starting to think I'll need to get onto her to sort her road bike out and head down there to go for a ride with her over summer, if she's not keen on playing buckets with me.

Could be two from Wellington up for this. We have a good mate in Edgecumbe who is overdue a visit. Will have to do some sums first. Shall we bring an easy-up or are there pits spaces we might be able to use?

Hi Clivoris, be good if you can make it work. You will need an easy-up as the pit area is also the car park and the only sealed area ( apart from the track ) is the dummy grid which is a fuel/oil free zone.

[Clivoris]

Will it be the one all-in class or running A and B? Might try and get my mate in Edgecumbe out on the track on my bike if there is a grade he can run in.

Will only be the one class for this day sorry.

[Clivoris]

Sorry broo.
Not going to be able to make it.

[Henk]

ive just picked upa gl145, needs work on it, but sounds like it could be fn if the edgecumbe track is going to host a meet.

[Farmaken]

We can make it happen, how does 14/15 July sound ? Need to confirm with kart club but should be all go

Some new bikes being built down here - might be ready by then

[rapid van cleef]

i fired it up in the shed, sounds pretty gnarly, i was suprised.
