erm, why is it only half a days racing? just because of the other classes or a short day in all?
Probably good we postponed coming down as J-Lo only found the other parts needed for his Bucket on sunday & I've been forming top secret tuning parts from Kneedit.
Don't you look at my accountant.
He's the only one I've got.

Yeah Dave, its a short day over all... starts early arvo, with 2 points races for each class...
Yesterday there were a few all in's after the point races... that delivered some of the best racing of the day...
Bren_chch ... all I can is WOW! He fought Tony M off to come if just cm's ahead of him

so 10:30 start & 2 races. Perhaps 2 practices? Not much track time? Why so short?

Wasnt as bad as it sounds, Rolled onto the track at 12.30 for the first bucket practice, then some bears class gave us time to get ready for pre82 practice, little rest and I had practice in Bears light. Then 3 races in buckets , and 3 in pre82, I didnt race in the Bears light in the end because the MZ250 I had was just far too hard to get my head around. When I got home I was knackered, lucky they didnt start earlier

Crumbs so what you are saying is I should put road tyres on the GasGas & enter that in Bears lights, then borrow Matts tandem Rotax for Bears F2 or whatever then get the T125 going for Pre82. -Sheesh I don't have the room in the van for all that!

Just ship all that stuff down, get somebody to bring it out on race day and just fly down for the day. A bit like how Rossi would have it done !

The T125 is a full restoration project starting with 2 doners, one an ex bucket, the other a refuge from under a tree rusting to death.
Hmm, air nz log onlin tickets, doop-de-doop.
Right, what is the address for Stanko esq? Have them sorted by EOM please.

Bloody hell yes
Then you and Glen Hayward can have a play... he also rides a Gas Gas in the lights... he was flying yesterday.

I've been riding the dirt bike a bit lately. Then jumping back on the bucket it felt totally foreign with crazy quick turn in & lean angle ++. Not sure I could get my head around trying to lean the dirtbike on tarmac.

Like Stanko said- it's not as bad as it sounds. Most of the guys with Buckets seem to have a pre-82, and most BEARS bikes are eligable for more than one class. You get a practice in each class, two points races in each class, and then an 'all in' type race at the end of the day. I was slightly knackered after yesterday as well.

Well, a good day was had by all. it was interesting when we arrived - there were flash cars racing around the track and the Porsche Roadshow was there with marquees and tents etc. they were using the track untill 12:30 so that is one reason why we only had the track for the afternoon. it sounds like a full day would have been too much for some guys!!!!
I was photographer and enjoyed being out in the middle. I got some great shots and here a a couple from the day.
1 - Bucket lineup
2- D, Stanko & madkeenandy - with the youngster in the lead!!!!!
3 - Flagman
