Glen’s Ruapuna Nats Report

[JayRacer37]

I wont be doing Puke, Due to both $$$ and That i dont like that track 1 bit. It so bad, its not worth riding there.

the man rode like a deamon all weekend. hard to belive hs first dry lap of the track was the warm up lap for race one (a race he finished 2nd in, with all the local riders!!)

Glen, how can you say Puke's that bad when u've never seen it??
It is NOT as bad as often made out to be. The wall's can be close, but it's no worse then the wall at Higgin's, (thats an easy one to headbutt if you go straight-belive me....my back's never been the same-god bless Spool backprotectors) or the sweeper at Manfeild, or the wall out of the dipper or onto the front straight at Ruapuna. Actually, it would only be over the bump's in the middle of the mountain, where you will hit the wall if you crashed, that I would consider excessivly dangerous at Pukekohe. But then maybe I don't look or don't see the walls!!

Cheers Sall

You coming to the Minefeild Nats??

Gaa depends when/how much/what bikes i have....
and i demand to be protected from a certain fourteen year old
and a certain guy who is liberal with his 'tomato sauce'

Cheers Goblin!!

But hey, that new reace track is only like 3 years away!!

That's a shame dude. I'm sure a "whip 'round" to cover your costs would sort the $$$ side of it...you've shown more than enough talent, dedication and the right attitude to go far in racing here. I'd like to think KB would come to the party for you.
I'm going through my own personal battle with not liking Puke but I figure if I want to have a crack at the nats next year, I will just have to face the fear and give it my best shot. As Jay said, maybe its just a case of not seeing the walls. I found the tyre chicane at Taupo to be my fastest part of the track because everyone else seemed intimidated by the tyres where I just went balls out through there. It's all in the mind young grasshopper!

yip that tire wall was pretty close haha

I nota Armco fan heard of too many people getting paralyzed there

[Sniper]

Awesome write up man, well done!

And cheers for the offer to try the Continetal tyre...


As for puke, i dont like riding 100% on the Rumitakas, due to the armco (and cars), but I guess i would still be keen to try it out....

Cant see it being much fun on the 125... looks like a bit of a drag race. But, i could be (and probably am) Wrong

Actually its quite fun on the 125. Just comes down to who's bravest on the brakes at the end of the back straight. Just keep going deeper and deeper till you crash, then go back one lap to that marker

Too many words

hahahah,

A bit like wrenching on 125s aye, keep tightening it, till it strips, then back half a turn

Ooooooooooh so cutting the corners on the grass is the way to good race results.
