Anyone know what's happening over the 2 days? I heard mutterings about an endurance race but dunno if it was a wind-up.

Does anyone know if any of the races will be on the long circuit?

The original entry form I'm pretty sure stated that it was on the long circuit, but the above seems to indicate otherwise.

Hey whats the deal if we just wanna go out there and race but don't care about getting timed or not.

I don't want to hire a transponder, will i still be allowed out on the track??

It simple Glen..... No transponder means you dont get timed for qualifying, that means YOU wont qualify

and therefore nobody will reserve a grid position for you so you cant race aye .

Aint life a simple program !!!!!.

I don't mind starting from last place if i don't qualify.. its 125GP and there aint more than 35 bikes in there

So what you are saying is that all the other guys / girls that race with the cost of a transponder are silly and we should all be able to knock $30.00 per day of our expenses and race without one ??? .
Stop being tight and if you want to race then conform with what we all have to do .
If your health is ok to race the event then its healthy enough to qualify like all of us and pay the fees like all of us.
It seems the crux to it is you want to save the $30.00.

A couple of reasons the be honest,

1: It's the two day race meet. and it's been charged for hire on both days. (Yes my budget is that tight thank you. )

2: I don't think im going to compeditive next round, so why waste another $60 if it's not going to achieve me anything? that could pay my travel fuel to the track.

3: I have an issue with the hireage of the transponders. But that's beside the point

Turns out you can't race without one, So i think im going to give it a miss and do a track day instead. More track time for less $$
