My First Race Meeting - Leong's VMCC Rd 6

[vtec]

Brilliant mate. Get some race tyres and then get your shoulders and head down.

[Leong]

Congrats! Well done Leong!

here are some pixs from the day.

Thanks for the pics!! I like that first one - Haha!! Looks like we got an even start. Thanks for the help on the day!

Good writeup and an awesome result for the day. Obviously all that tracktime at Taupo has paid off. Maybe if I can get my head around this Gixxer I might come close to keeping up.

So where to now ? More trackdays or have you caught the bug?

More trackdays booked - Will come pit for you on the 18th - unless I've entered...

Yes, got some Diablo Supercorsas to try..... lots to work on - I've only recently (7 October AMCC training) realised what a difference tucking in really makes. Interesting looking at the photos re the different body positions in the same corner. Good to see you out there too!!

Hey man awesome work out there. I think once i get a bike that actually likes corners we will have some great races. I do have 1 piece of advice for you though and that is to forget every thing jimmy told you about starts. Im not sure if you have noticed but his starts suck(if were talking about the same jimmy here).

I don't think so. Given you hadn't even see the A1GP track till raceday, when you get a bike that likes corners, I wouldn't stand a chance!! Yes, we're talking about the same Jimmy - what he said worked - but yeah - you've probably got the better record!!!

cool write up! i felt your nerves too! it was my second time racing, i raced 1 small event like 2 years ago then went back to mx so it was like a first race meeting all over! then when my chain came off on lap 3 of qualifing i thought it was all over! good to see you at the recent track day those times are really startin to come down huh I reakon we could give a few of those f2 guys a go! anyway if your around im gonna give puke a try on friday its always good to ride with 600s!

[Leong]

Hey CHOPPA, Welcome to KB!! Tis a good place to meet like minded folk. Yes, saw you at the last MotoTT - got some video of you though it was with the little bulletcam and has a bit of interference - will post it when I get a chance - busy doing the Suzuki trackday one at the mo.

Yes, I've caught the bug and have some race fairings on the way. Entered F2 at PMCC 18 Nov - hopefully finish mid field though with AMCC the same day there may not be many entries. Is it a test day at Puke on Friday? I've got the day off work, but it's to go do a course!.

Awesome one L... You were all over me at the track day during our little battle and i thought this man is no slug!!... So I take it you were racing in clubmans?

Yes it was Clubmans - Hope I've made the right decision to to go F2 after so little "race" experience. Haven't had much "dicing" with others recently until our little battle. That was not just fun but good for trying out alterrnative lines etc. Shame I'll be away for the next MotoTT - would be good to have a rematch.

BTW while I qualified 2nd and finished 2nd in both races, CHOPPA TQ'ed and WON both races!!!!

[Toast]

good to see you at the recent track day those times are really startin to come down huh I reakon we could give a few of those f2 guys a go!!

You sure would!

So stop being a couple of burglars and go give it a go

[CHOPPA]

when you get tyre warmers you should check out the generators from bunnings, mine is tiny in size it was only $100 and its good for 850w a little less then the warmers require but it works mint!

Yeah I was looking at these. So what power output do you need for warmers ? 1kW + ?

[kiwifruit]

F2 Leong F2

[CHOPPA]

yeah i think there 450w for the front and 550w for the rear so 1kw, i have the digital type warmers and the 850w geny has been sweet and its so small and light, just gotta put a 100ml of 2 stroke in each tank full is the only downfall...

Cheers! If I got a generator it would NEED to be tiny and light. Struggling to find room in the garage for the extra fairings. BTW my race fairings arrived today!!

[CHOPPA]

I went to puke yesterday, that tracks got some scary bits in it! I just purchased a lap timing device etc etc was real helpfull with gettin my times down! There is 2 races next weekend 1 at taupo 1 at puke not sure what to do? i figure puke would be better cause i can enter 2 classes... I think? do you know what formula auckland means? and are you gonna race?
