Taumarunui event instructions

**seymour14** · 22nd December 2012, 19:39

Just got this emailed through from Steve Bennett. Please note decibel readings before next meet. (Kind regards and all that

) I have removed bank details etc.. for the forum.

Hi All,

First up, those that attended Tokoroa, thanks for being an enjoyable bunch of people to run a meeting for.

2nd, thanks to the support crew, those that do the timing and those that take the time to get to flag points.

Track opens Saturday at 12 noon. Please sign in before 11:30am.
Use the pre-entry option if you are going to be late,

Sound testing at Round 2 saw readings in excess of 100db, read from the fence on the dummy grid.. not science just a guide OK.

A-Grade 45, 20 and 94 (average around 94, lowest 88)

B-Grade 46, 52 and 12 (average around 92, lowest 70)

We will check again at Taumarunui.

Camping on Friday night is recommend for no other reason than the location. (and the amusement of Henk injuring himself even before racing commences)

$60 entry including timing
$20 One Event Licence (yes that is actually what they cost us, ring MNZ if you don't believe us)

I don't think I'll ever be allowed to forget last years Friday night antics. Having said that, it is an absolute beauty spot and camping Friday night is highly recommended.
If it looks like being as hot as Toke was last weekend bring your swimming trunks for a dip in the river.

My bike is going up there, has a B-grade ride but could also do A for someone else...

Have you tried talking your factory rider into the FXR in Hamilton?
I'm guessing your shoulder won't be up to riding by the sounds of it, not unexpected but we'll need a proxy.

Ha! We are bringing up another "factory rider" (read new to buckets but a pretty good rider) from Wellys with us who, if he goes as well as he did the last couple of days may actually be able to ride in A grade.....

Anyway, if you "go" as well on the Friday night as you did last year then there'll be nothing to worry about!

**Henk** · 30th December 2012, 09:12

In that case we'd need two proxies

No, I should though.
I've mentioned it to a few others who have been interested and the silly pricks haven't jumped at the bargain that it is!
Surely sold by now?

**Henk** · 31st December 2012, 05:20

Still listed. That doesn't necessarily mean it hasn't sold though

Hi everyone,

I'm looking forward to the weekend.

Make sure you stick to the speed limit on the main roads. There is no 4km grace down here. Heaps of travellers have been stung so far.

Bring some warm clothes for the evenings, and plenty of insect repellent.

If someone will let me know approx what time you gona be here on Friday, I will go open the track, clubrooms and toilets.
Might even take me bike down for a practice.
