I have every intention of going to the meeting on Feb 5/6. At the moment I'm going on my own in the Legnum towing a trailer with the bike on it. Leaving early Sat and coming back Sun night or Mon morning.
Anyone else who would like to race PM me and perhaps we can sort out something.

Any Aucklanders who have never been to Roys Hill should seriously consider this. It's an awesome track and a top bunch of folks.
Ditto to Henk's observation. On the Saturday is hopefully a trailride. We're heading down for that and buckets on the Sunday, so will be full up.
I like riding C grade down there (funny, I turn up, they run C grade, I'd almost get a complex about that if I didn't realise that I'm more than likely the reason it happens on the day - sorry folk, but I like trying? to chase Nigel down with lack of real traffic).
I went, I saw, I conquered! Well I conquered the second B grade race mistaking it for the start of the free-for-all at the end of the meeting. Sorry about that to anyone I upset.
What an awesome track. I'm really glad I made the trip. Had plenty of riders to dice with and as I said the track is great with the sort of corners where you can really pitch her in and get on the power. It was a bit warm though, 36 today according to my car.
Friendly crowd as well, as expected of bucket racers. I turned up with no accomodation arranged and within minutes it was all sorted. Had a dip in the pool, drank a few beers, ate a great bbq dinner, and drank a few more beers before hitting the sack for a good night sleep. Mucho thanks to Grant and family. Your hospitality made the weekend most enjoyable.

I'm not going to let you win next time Grant.
Race 2 B Grade, it actually looks like my young fella is going to poke his front wheel up the inside
You are right about the heat, my car was reading 36 deg when I left the track, dropped to 34 by the time I got home. Pool was 29 deg, had to put the garden hose in to cool it down. Good weekend, although down on numbers a bit.
Faster, faster, faster, until the thrill of speed overcomes the fear of death. (HT)
Was good fun catching up and trying to get past that green bullet in race 2, till the back end come around, been a while since ive hit the deck. What happened in race 1 you Speedpro?
Bloody hot day, tyres getting really hot, and if only I had more time to get phase 1 completely ready(carb running rubbish), now will phase 2 be ready in time for round two...

I measured Tylers tyres temps, 55 front and 62 rear, a good 10 to 15 degrees hotter than at TRRS practice day
