Thank you ALL for TD5

[FROSTY:Me]

Once again I'd like to thank you one and all For a FANTASTIC day.

Highlight for me was fairly early---I saw 80 Yes 80 bikes on the track in the slow/sighting session--It just looked spectacular.

Second but only just was the scooter boys battling it out--dang those things could corner hard--
Actually one guy had to remove his spare wheel--he had it so crank over his spare was rubbing on the ground.

Quote for the day has to be a rider I wont name.
His rear tyre was so worn out you could see a HUGE metal strip of cords showing in the center -He was told no more track tiime till ya replace it
And his response ---"Oh you should let me back out--I only ride on the sides of the tyre"

Muppet moment of the day ---There is no other contender.
Jay Racer--Yep binned it on turn 3-- 3 corners into the SLOW session

Hard luck story of the day--Our man K14 --All the way up from the south island and damages(unconfirmed at this stage broken ) his collar bone.
Mate I hope ya heal fast
Faux pa of the day--Colapop --on an open radio frequency"jeyzus that ambo officer is a grumpy old sod" --hmm ye well said ambo officer also had a friggin RT


Maximum thanks go to all the marshals and crew who froze their privates off out there so you lot could have a good time. These guys n gals ALL need your thanks
I received some really good feedback as to how to improve the efficiency on the day --Ill be doing this next time

what he said. totaly

I say thanks Frosty for organising it.

Re: Making the day run faster, we had a lot of bikes carry on past the pit entry when red flags were out. Some sort of penalty for the riders concerned might bring them in faster, and not have to make everyone else wait up to 3 minutes for them to get off the track. That time adds up over the day

Great Day Frosty, A big thanks to ya for the effort you put in

A suggestion though, it probaly woulbe be more benificial to have the second checkered flag at the marshal point at the end of the main straight just before you enter the pits. There was a couple of sessions that the red flag came out when I was coming down the straight, saw the red flag at the end, and wasnt to sure if it was the end of the session or we had been called in for a incident and we still had track time left (maybee that was just wishfull thinking on my part)

As I said great day and I look foward to the next one.

The little muppet!

The vespas were wicked to watch...seeing them get down in the racing crouch then sit up to slow down had us all cracking up!

The guy with the wire showing through his tyre shouldn't have even passed scrutineering but I was glad to see he got a newer tyre fitted by the end of the day.

I'd like to wish K14 a mega speedy recovery. Was gutted to see him down.

Thanks for a great day FROSTY...even if I did freeze my tits off.

That is what kept confusing me also...though i still feel like a dumb twat for doing it twice.,

[BarBender]

Thanks Frosty.

And big holla especially to the crew and marshalls for freezing their nuts off. I just know you would have all rather have had them slammed up against a tank under heavy breaking. Thanks guys and gals. Hope Monday is an easy one for you all.

[placidfemme]

Thanks Frosty for an awesome day... and thanks to everyone else that helped make it happen. It was really great and I can't wait until November!

[The Stranger:Me]

:even if I did freeze my tits off.

You shoulda said something mate. I could have warmed them up for ya,

[GIXser]

Thank you frosty for the day,i understand it takes a lot to organise this,
ok im gonna be the bad guy here...... i feel the day was a balls up" yes i enjoyed it but feel it could have run a whole lot smoother( we didnt get our second session until just before two)
as far as i am concerned there was way to many people,
a few incidents where people got pulled back into the pits because someone had a flat tire etc just slows everything down..
in saying all that , i actually enjoyed the day and had fun

ps this is intended as constructive critisism...,

[Xile]

Was an awesome day, good to see what is a trackday and so many bikes on the track! Thanks for having organized it...
I really enjoyed my pillion rides: thanks to Frosty and The Stranger.
And thks to Speedie: "sweet as mate!" (lol)
Was good to meet Kbers from everywhere in NZ
Cheers!

[SimJen]

Wicked day of fun.
Cheers Frosty for organising. Personally I was happy with how it went.
Who cares if you had to wait a few extra minutes here and their.......to have a go on such a great looking track it was worth the wait.
I'll be at the next one for sure

[Colapop]

I enjoyed myself immensely over the weekend. I hugged a whole lotta new people and although I must admit to being a little understrength and below weight I think I did ok.
Highlights are too numerous to mention.... though a couple of stand-ups and a hichchair were nice...

I think the people that pleased me the most were the ones that got out there on the track and had a go. Placidfemme buttoned down on her tank, Chickadee scootling along, Jimmy for making me go "FAAARRRKKK!!" Everytime he went past, and the pillions and ppillion takers for giving a few the chance to get out on the track even though they weren't riding. There are far too many other people to thank for the day and the weekend (AJTurdbo - thanks for having a hitcherhiker on board & the bike)... I had a blast (of freezing wind up me jacksee everytime I leaned out to take photo's) and will definitely be back for more.

The photo's and video is on Wasp's camera so hassle the f*ck out of him to get them posted to somewhere like Photobucket. I think I got pics of nearly everybody that went out on the track and got some pretty damn good (self appraisal) video as well.... Hope you all get to see them...

Cheers Frosty - The whole day is a monumental effort for you and I for appreciate the work that you do for these.
