We have a spare room for jet setting racers, 30 odd minutes from the track

Should be an email coming out in the next day or so to those on the Auckland bucket mailing list with a revised timetable.
Main changes are the probable lack of the mixed doubles due to lack of interest and a 9am gate time on Sunday since we can't get on track all that early and the fact that I'm not that good at getting up on Suday mornings.
The email will probably get posted here as well.

**ajturbo** · 21st October 2015, 07:46

and why can't we have a 2hr here in ChCh.. only a 55min +1lap..
just getting tyres warm and the race ends...

The email went out today, for those that didn't receive it I've pasted it below. Ignore the schedule I posted earlier, go with the one on the AMCC website in the links below

Hi Bucket Racers.

The annual bucket 2-Hour is exactly a month away. So get your teams organised and make sure your bikes are well-prepared. A team consists of two riders and a flag marshal. If you can't bring along someone to help with the flag marshalling, your team may not be able to race! To help encourage teams to bring along a flag marshal, we will be charging all teams a $10 "flag marshalling fee" this year. At the end of the day, this money will be distributed among the people who actually help with the flag marshalling.

And don't forget that rule 6.17 in chapter 6 (Conduct of Competitions) of the MNZ Manual of Motorcycle Sport requires that every team have a fire extinguisher in plain view in their pit area. The exact rule says this:

Fire Extinguisher: The provision of a suitable fire extinguisher is required in each riders pit. A one, 1 kg (minimum weight) sealed and operational fire extinguisher must be visibly present in each riders pit area.

On the Saturday (Nov 21), as well as plenty of practice, we hope to have mixed doubles races and a sidecar endurance race if there is enough interest. The schedule and details of Saturday practice can be found in the AMCC bucket events calendar here: http://amcc-dev.org.nz/index.php/men...-practice.html

On the Sunday (Nov 22) we will have more practice and qualifying via Superpole, followed by the 40-lap endurance race and the 2-hour race, prize giving and the mandatory sausage sizzle! The schedule and details of the Sunday race day can be found in the AMCC bucket events calendar here: http://amcc-dev.org.nz/index.php/men...cing-2-hr.html

Getting close now hope to see lots of teams I think the record is 29 teams

**Henk** · 12th November 2015, 18:04

Next weekend. Remember that we need flag marshals and that we will be running the mixed doubles and sidecars on Saturday if there are enough entries.
Also the 40 lapper on Sunday will give you a taste of what to expect if you feel you aren't ready for the two hour just yet and it can be run as a team or two or ironman, unlike the two hour which is teams only.

Getting closer, this weekend now.
Port on the corner has been suggested but that's a bit heavy with no camping at the track.
I would hover suggest port on the corner lite, beer on the corner, on Saturday after the official program is over, bring something you like or something interesting to share if you feel so inclined.
