Manfield track day, Feb 25th

[Mental Trousers]

Yeah, he missed ya Deano. He only got to ride against Dafe twice I think. I thought he was going pretty well though.

I think it was only half a session mate

piffft....he binned all by himself.....lost the front trying to underpass me into higgins....was a butt clencher...I missed his bike by sweet f all...

2 k5 thous down on that corner today.... was quite a few other bins too![only the 2 gixxers though]

Was a good day...heaps of familiar faces and a few new ones...was great catching up with you all...seeya all next time



Ps:sparky bills...I hope you post some of that vid....especially where that cool cunt on the gixxer went flying past you like you were standing still....never to be seen again .... just for the honda riders ofcourse!

so what were your lap times round there?

[Kendog]

I only have pics of the hornet group, minus one hornet that wanted to stay in the pit shed

Dr Hook had a very nice camera and we took plenty of pics of various bikes on the track, looking forward to seeing these.

I think I heard someone mention something about 118secs, I could be well off though...et al, was it you that was doing some stopwatch timing?

[R6_kid:Me]

really have to get sorted and get my camera out on the bike, woulda been a good day for it, mind you i didnt pass too many people in the medium group due to me not liking the whole racing pass thing on a track day... a lot of bikes with more power than me meant i would get them on the corners only to get passed again on the straights... wierd how it was a different story in the fast group

Heard a rumor there may not be another track day there this year say it ain't so as I really want to do that again!!

I checked the Track's event calendar and sweet bugger all. no Ruapehu Club days like we just had. Only a monthly Vic. Club day and they're a precious lot, usually only for members with race licences. Some Clubsport open days (car club) in Spring and they have let bikes on in the past. Doesn't look promising.

[kiwifruit]

i had someone in the stands with a stopwatch
apparently i did a 1min 25 sec lap
but, im hardly on the pace! lol

Was a great day out getting used to my relatively new bike! Good meeting some of you guys too!

Here are a few photos from my camera.

Cheers!

[et al]

Good Pics Dr Hook - Tawa KB'rs present in every one of those.
Also Slingshot: yes I did take some times but only for rough comparison purposes and I would not want to post them with names for fear of upsetting anyone because they were probably by no means the best times for any of them. Can say though that the times ranged from 1:20 - 1:33 for three different riders & bikes. I heard that if you can do 1:30 around Manfeild you are doing OK - bearing in mind these are road bikes and it is not a race.

[Colapop]

Alright, anymore pics of me and I will have to buy a larger helmet. Great shots DrHook. What's with the swarm of Hornets up there? You guys preparing for a Hornets only race meet?
