Ruapuna: Sound of Thunder Motorcycling

**Flyingpony** · 21st February 2006, 07:56

Anybody know more about this (know it's on this weekend) and is there a gate fee for this event?

Anybody know when the free events at Ruapuna happen?

When will the next series of bucket racing start?
Is there a spectator gate fee for watching bucket racing?

Thanks.

there is normally a gate fee for sound of thunder. probably $10 or so, nothing too much.

all bucket racing events are free to enter for spectators. not sure when the next event is. probably in about 2 months or so, won't be too far away now. kickaha will know when.

This w/e bout 10 bucks and most racing at Ruapuna are free... as in club days.

Buckets are any Canty club day (mixed in with street stock) and the bucket only class is at BEAR's meetings....
You have an alagible bike for buckets or street stock.... wana give it a go?
Bucket watching is free..... but if you lough then you will be fined

Thanks dangerous.
Yip, know I've got an eligable bike but given it's market value, is my only bike and has clocked a mere 13k, it's something I'd rather not start messing with.

Therefore will have to find another bucket, purchase manner of protection gear (one-piece suit, back protector, boots & helmet) and build/purchase a trailer. It's therefore the startup finances which are stopping me, otherwise I'd be out.

Will try not to

or umm,
