Trailer racing is the way of the future.

Must carry a brick of beer. Winner drinks all.

Nothing new about pillion racing , there was a group of idiots that did it all the time ove rthe Rimutakas every Sunday . Some were very silly but i was much calmer cause i insisted on being the rider. One day i thought i was going really well and realised the igit on the back was leaning out more than i was .
I prefer to have the entertainment funny at the formal race meetings, try pushing races instead and make it just 1 lap and a few obsticals for more fun.

I believe for racing to be popular to the viewing public it needs to retain some relevance.

Therefore the ballast should be a box of beers or pizzas (if you're already on weight)
Only open face helmets without peaks in orange or red to be worn

Builders shorts to be worn over leathers and the rider change requires taking a piss behind a corner brake distance marker before pressing on.

Its a winner

I don't even have to ask him but me and Drew are keen. Happy with Chappys rules as proposed and I actually think it's the first decent idea he's had in a while.

When do we race?

hell id be in if someone actually allowed such a class to happen... going down the back straight at pukekohe two up on a gsxr1000 doing 250k's+ scared the shit out of me but id do it again

Yea, been done a few times at unsanctioned bucket meets near the top of the South Island a few times, I did a few laps with Cam Horgan 10 years ago... Not keen to get on the back again, flip pen terrifying,

Having done multiple laps of Pukekohe on the LG Superbikes a few years ago with corporate sponsors and guests strapped to the pillion seat, I can categorically state that rear tyres fall to bits REAL quick at racetrack speeds two up and turn one at Puke is fucken scary with no load on the front tyre.

Also, Shane Camerons manager Ken squeals like a girl when you hoist the front wheel at 200kays in fourth.

We do this at classic mx xmas meetings sometimes.

Terrifying with no footpegs or handholds for the passenger.

3 laps then swap over.

Jumps are just freaky.

Do it!

Those MVX250s never cease to amaze me!

I didn't realise the Lewis pass was considered top of the South
