Getting the learn from Tony Rees :)

[sAsLEX]

Not going by their map on the Taupo raceway website. The new track doesn't use any of the old track. It's not like anyone's going to complain if the bulldozer driver was drunk and made another bend .

Umm yeah it does, left hand loop on the attached is old track

and the flop bit in red

Well the Rider who goes out first better tape the map on their speedo so we don't all get lost

[Matt Bleck]

Dude what is wrong with that? It is Tony Rees you know?

I don't know about anyone else but watchin that vid has got me all amped up for Sunday, shit it's better than waiting for Xmas day!!

[Highlander]

I dun it a whole heap slower than that but I was picturing the next corner swiveling my chair - good stuff.

What is the tank cam set up consist of and what does it cost?

edit: I copied the clip and emailed around the country side.

[Kornholio]

Bah on my shitty rural connection I might as well wait til sunday and follow you round the track myself

[limbimtimwim]

I remember a couple of those corners.

That looks such fun.

1.55 aye, not too shabby Allan, you got some work to do before sunday though lines are looking good, just need to brake harder, lean further, accelarate harder, sounds easy eh.
I'll be bringing my bullet camera and stuff down for this one, time to play around a bit me thinks

Cool, should be fun to see the rear end of my bike getting smaller and smaller....

Just what I was gonna say. Mind you... was Tony going hard or trying to show you the lines? He showed me the fastest way round Ruapuna- he had trouble going slow enough for me to keep up initially
Then after me following him, him following me, me following him, he looked over his shoulder before the right hand infield sweeper and picked up speed. By the time I got around it he'd GONE

From what I hear, he said down there a while ago he reckoned 1.39's would be about the top times to be going for. Think he was doing around 1.41-42 that particular day.

he wasnt going hardcore thats for sure, lol
na he wasnt showing me lines, altho i tried to pick up what i could
id say he would have been going 10-15 sec a lap faster than me when he wanted to

[kiwifruit]

Glad the name is not like the TV show

[ZeroIndex]

Nice vid, enjoyed watching it! Even if not the best quality and I'm currently "throttled back" (Xtras words!) to dial-up cause we've used up our Broadband, mutter, mutter! Must get a suitable bike-cam setup myself, sometime. Just gotta get a wedding outta the way in July....
