Bucket 2 hour this weekend - what do I need to race?

[kel]

Looks like they won superpole, but there's no trophy for that.

Boy did they win superpole, Nathanael was from memory .9sec quicker than 2nd. Ive never seen such commitment, crashing across the line as he straight lined through the S bend freaked me out.

Isn't that a Craig Sheriffs signature move? (can be bothered finding the pics)

I think you can add Karl Morgan and Jaden H to that as well

Sorry about the formatting, but I can't work out how to paste a table in here & keep the formatting.

It would have been nice to win again, but not this year. A broken balancer shaft put paid to that. Congrats to Gavin & Steve. At least Nathanael won superpole, plus his average lap time for the whole 54 minutes he rode, through the traffic, was 30.8 seconds, which is faster than any previous 2 hour race, & faster even than 2nd in superpole. Maybe next year...

Great day of racing guys, although the body is defiantly feeling it today.

Still a bit pissed off about the off I had but hell I guess that is racing. I might have to get my partner to do the first session next year, I think I have managed to cock that up three years in a row now

Fantastic day and the racing was really clean.
Big thanks to John Steer for loaning us a sprocket carrier after our bearing collasped, thats whats really great about bucket racing when things go wrong someone always steps up to pull you out of the shit.
Arron your bike is fantastic, you rode pretty damn good too!
Obviously need to work on my fitness as Im hurting real bad.

Have to say it was a great day... and thanks to John Steer again for the sproket carrier.
Body was very sore on Monday and it was great to get a placing.

Kel got the 31.07 for second equal pole postion which was impressive considering he had only had one practice on my bike..! I was just happy to circulate well enough to keep the laps ticking over and left the fast laps to kel.

Also destroyed my battery which was strange...

Despite crashing as soon as I entered the track it was a fun day! Cheers for the advice guys I was much faster by the time the race was on!
