Just change the gearing around... she'll be right mate

That's with the 'tall' gearing! How long is the straight? (Never been the the track before)

Duno... but I'm getting taped out a bit before the hair pin, that kink in the middle of the back straight ya take flat nackered on a bucket, reckon you will need at least 100kph top end, can you not go bigger on the front or smaller on the rear?

**Skunk** · 29th June 2006, 21:53

Front is at the maximum I could find that fits (14), rear at present is a 37. The real issue is power.

Anyone got a spare RGV 250 front chamber?

WELL DONE YOU GUYS!!!!!

Its great to see someone else doing bucket racing.

My partner and I have been racing our Pitbike up here in Auck's with
the buckets at the Mt Wellington Go-Kart track.

Hubby has had a ride on a bucket and now has a bucket being built. I get the Pitty.We have spent a lot of time at A+E though. Hence his knickname
is... Sir Falloffalot.

If you check out the Kart track at Tauramanui, you might find they will let you ride on it.
Its a really good track, even in the wet, its quite sticky.

we have been looking into this, but are having trouble getting acces to the track??

Tauramanui is a neat track.

Ruapuna B track is good fun, but a lot faster that our tracks. That transition from the Raceready corner onto the joiner changes camber & twisted up my old H100 quite disconcertingly. (that’s a big word that means your stomach goes ‘eeeghhh’ & you wonder if the front tyre is going to remain in contact with the track).
