GP reminder

[Henk]

Who is planning to turn up Friday, and what time?
Anyone who beats me there, call me on 021 145 3090 and I'll tell you where to collect the key from.

I expect to be there about 4-ish. Happy to make a cuppa and wait for a while.

Hoping for a 5pm-6pm arrival, see how things pan out.

We are going to get away at a reasonable time, but the other guys have to leave after 5:30 so they would have been super late to make it to the track & probably drive off the road so we are all stopping in at the olds bach in Turangi & we'll get up early for Saturday. What time should we be there before?

[Henk]

Depends on how much practice etc you want to get in. Rough timetable is in the first post in this thread, earlier the better in some ways so we can get sign on dusted.

[F5 Dave]

Ahh yes thanks. We'll leave at 8 which 1.5 hrs travel should sort us.

I am sure everyone is well on top of things but just a small reminder;

All bikes & sidecars will undergo a machine check before being allowed on track.

lock wired brake caliber bolts, shark fins and full nylon are essential. As is the red light in the event of a wet race.

See ya'll tomorrow night!

What MNZ rule states we must have shark fins on swingarms?

Thanks for the reminder, had completely forgotten about the red light.

I must remember batteries as they will be flat by now

What MNZ rule states we must have shark fins on swingarms?

This rule only applies to the GP races, not the Toke cup,
Im sure the weather will be fine :,)

Rule 22.8.19
A chainguard or sharkfin made of suitable material MUST be fitted in such a
way to prevent trapping between the lower chain run and the final drive
sprocket at the rear wheel. Machines where swingarm shape or positioning
prevents fitment are excepted

Very easy to make, I used a bit of chopping board riveted to a small ally angle and riveted that to the under side of the swingarm

Rear red light, i taped a head light to the back of the seat unit, easy

Insomnia sucks. Also Snap the mouse had a terrible accident behind the bed last night, but he was a noisy little bugger before that.
