Christchurch BEARS winter series dates

**JJ58** · 25th April 2007, 17:34

Hey Guys,

Does anyone know what the Christchurch BEARS winter series dates are for this year? I'm just wondering if I should think about dusting off the old GSX and get it ready for some pre'82 action?

Cheers

Starts 6th of May, look forward to seeing you there

FUCK, the wankers that do it up here, wont even let a japper into the grounds!

So the buckets will run on the Back small part of the track?

What weather do you have planned?

Buckets are the biggest class on the day, so we bring in good money for them and a lot of bucket guys also run either BEARS or Pre 82 as well

The first meeting is normally the tri oval on the front circuit, turn off in front of the control tower and around through the dipper,it suits the fast bikes

no idea on the weather

ahh, ok I'll can my idea of coming down as the 125 isn't that quick & really it appears the B cct is the one I'd want to do if travelling that far. That's what we would have used for the BOB a million years ago huh? Crap I spent the weekend putting the 125 together.

B track in June 24th?

Answering my own question (thanks Tony B on NZSB)

BEARS & thus buckets
RUAPUNA. Round 1 full track Sunday May 6 Round 1 Full track (Scrutineering 10:30am)
RUAPUNA. Round 2 B track Sunday June 24 (Scrutineering 10:30am)
RUAPUNA. Round 3 B track Sunday July 15 or 22- to be confirmed.

So my nefarious plan is out in the open. Bring my bike down to kick the ass's of all you SI guys who are largely out of contention for a podium place. I shall whup all mid-fielders, unless I don't BWAHAHAHA!

Will I need Wet or Ice tyres for June?

Last year god smiled upon us and it didn't rain once, hopefully he'll do the same this year!

Awesome racing today all those who were there and going hard. Funny watching Glen play with Dangerous in the open Post Classics at the end of the day - classic stuff. Good clean racing though, you guys did bloody well. Nice wheelies too Bren, shame about the launch!

Great to meet all those I met there - my first time out at a BEARS / buckets meet. Don't know if you'll convince me out on the track on a bucket any time soon though, I'd like to try some have a go days to get used to riding on the track before trying to race! Will see about hooning down to Levels for the have a go day next month...

it was Stanko (Mike) playing with him, slowed down to let Dangerous catch up and then passed him before the line

All part of my friendly service...

Just remember that its only a half days racing. As tyger says, strangely enough the weather is normally pretty good. In two years I have yet to race on a wet track- practice in the wet yes, but racing to date has always been dry for me.
