b) solos and side-chairs crashing. Whether it be the heat getting to everyone, or the red-mist, or lack of ability or what... there were just too many crashes during the day (qualifying & racing) and it made it very difficult for the organisors to keep to schedule.

Yeah what is it with these people??? Calm the fuck down and bring it home in one piece!!! So many fucking useless dickheads getting in WAY too hot into turn one etc.

But after all the F1/BEAR's/S1000RR/HP2 palava where the fuck was Choppa? Jeeeesus, talk about cock-tease!

I didnt want to support the event

Ill be honest I think it was the 115% cut off really scared everyone and people rode past there limits panicing they had payed big money to race and were going to go home and over tryed

and it made it very difficult for the organisors to keep to schedule.

Didn't it also start late? or was it just the crashes that got it so far behind time?

Yeah well a street circuit is the last place on earth you should be allowed to race if you're way off the pace.

[Bikemad]

it started over an hour and a half late mainly due to a classic sidecar crash in practice resulting in a fire.......took them a while to put it out and replace burnt haybales..........there was a couple of other spills in practice from memory i think but didnt seem to take as long to sort out as the chair crash..........then there were a number of first turn pileups in the racing which slowed events down somewhat............still loved the racing when it was running

Yeah I know that but the way it was brought up I think put more added pressure onto people and people were freaking about it not knowing if they were quick enough I heard one guy say at riders breifing he may as well pack up now as he had no show against the fast guys but came to learn from them so I think people like that had added pressure of knowing they were racing with stroud etc and pushed that bit harder trying to get a good lap and bam

If they're racing superbikes especially...they fucking well should know better by now. It's dangerous enough round there without having to the share the track with morons.

Not in F3 - we had both races red flagged because of incidents at T1.

[cowpoos]

from the perspective of someone whom entered but missed out on racing by a poomfteenth of a second...

A bloody good event ruined simply by:

a) a good meaning vollie who couldn't start their bike to take us newbies/virgins out on our sighting session... that held up the start by a good 15-20mins. Maybe next time he/she should have a push-button bike rather than than the Motard they were trying to kick-over and jump start unsuccessfully.

b) solos and side-chairs crashing. Whether it be the heat getting to everyone, or the red-mist, or lack of ability or what... there were just too many crashes during the day (qualifying & racing) and it made it very difficult for the organisors to keep to schedule.

In one capacity or another, I/we will be back for the 60th Anni meeting in 2012.

Cheers

who was this?

[Ivan]

cant remember there names they the ones who normally drift it up hard was a unlucky crash that was and most of the time was wasted due to piss poor skills with extinguishers and not putting it out right away hence why us fire fighters on track actually were doing something about not waiting for the wanganui fire bregade to turn out

Can't speak for anyone else but that was not the case for me. I rode well within my limits despite being pushed to go 'balls-out' in the last qualifying session. I was frustrated by not getting timing sheets from our first qualy session to see how we were placed, that would have given me a good indicator of where I was at compared to the rest of the class. I knew I was never going to be anywhere near the pace of Skachill, Charlett & Co., but it would have been great to know exactly what I was aiming for. Agonisingly close to breaking the 1 minute mark, but that will have to wait for another time. Still, it was a great experience and I'd do it again in a heartbeat.

There's all sorts of issues at work here mate, and they need to be dissected piece by piece to make sure things are learnt. Come past the shop some time for a coffee and a chat.

long races and lemans start! or rolling starts.

Most proper bikes these days have the ability of a sealed containment area in there belly pan. It should be compulsary. Strouds held his entire engine oil for a whole race, well most of it. Sidecars have it. I suppose most things that drop oil are naked postie style though....

As far as bike crashers go, hard luck for them bikes should go to a safe area and be left there till its safe or they have time to pick them up
