    Went down earlyish to make sure I had time to do a few practice runs.
    Quite a few bikes there but I don't think any Kiwibikers were racing. I saw QKCHK and Custard's bikes but not the riders themselves (parked next to you guys at the end).
    Was quite fun waxing a few cagers in the practice runs. My best time was a 12.9 which isn't all that fast for a bike, but then again the SV isn't really made for the strip. Had to leave a bit early cause I wanted to do the Coromandel loop today. All in all a pretty good night.

    12.9 is ok for an SV650.The times here are never as fast as you see in aus or the us.Draco was gonna come but long hours at work and iffy looking weather sorta put her off.Next time.

    All in all, swanman and chickenfunkstar summed it all up for me. It was a bit disappointing to arrive down there with a good sized group only to find we were told to "sod-off" by the officials because the 'boi racers' were more preferred over us....well thats my theory anyway....

    Next time (on the 18th Nov) we will go down earlier and I won't listen to the prat on the other side of the Dragway phone saying that scrutineering doesn't close til 9.30pm! SHIT HAPPENS

    Yep,it pays to get there as early as poss anyhow,that way you can use all your practice runs and get dialled in well before the actual racing starts.I usually bolt home from work then head off straight away....

    Amen, i dunno why those fuckwits waste their time, if it doesnt do at least a 13 dont bother IMO

    it cracks me up when you overhear boi racers convo's sometimes "my 1600 vtec civic can smoke the lastest sti wrx" the boi racer thinks his civic is some specially modded supercar from honda that has like 300 n/a hp. I detest going into places like repco cause its usually full of the spotty faced dreamers.

    Good to hear the fastest thing on the night was on two wheels

    Have you taken your bike over any sweet jumps?
