Are they going to check peoples gear at the next round. On Sunday the guy on the Mille had only jeans and boat shoes on!! No doubt Scott will be there lining up again to go out on the track during these times.

i will be there claire but im considering entering the clubmans class as im now down to 45 sec laps so i think i should be competitive in that class. they dont really check anything for the have a go part of the day but i wouldnt do it in anything less than cordura or leather. they dont check your bike but you must sign an indemnity.

Oh frosty its only $10 for the have a go part of the day and the dude from pacific club says $65 for race entry or $55 if you are a member of there club.

Might even have a new toy to show off!!

If it is Ill also be trying not to get lapped in F3.

Will have to catch up with everyone there!

Dude you'd better pull ya finger out then. To RACE you will need to organise a race licence . Your bike will have to pass scrutineering too.
Doesnt look like a biggie -they even let bikes on the track with headlights going for gosh sakes.
wire ya sump plug and oil filter then get a coke bottle and run all ya overflows into it -dump all ya radiator coolant and put straight water in (make sure ya do cos I got sprung on the zxr7)

Alright im going to work my arse off to get down there, am looking at cutting the rear subframe and making a new braket upfromt (mmm weight saving)..... Ill be out there GETTING lapped in F3, and if i cant get my 400 down there, ill take my RG and race in SS150 (if they let me with braided brake lines

)

Hey Sudeep, you bloody better well be there

the dude at the pacific series said if i want i can pay for a day licence on the day. does this sound right. I got all the shit i need to do. didint know about the water tho.

When I raced at ruapuna about a month ago I did a day licence and that was all sweet, no problems at all. But if you are going to do the day licence for a few meetings it will be cheaper to get a race licence.

Scroter--mate I just dunno about that -check on silver bullet and give the guy a call. I thought ALL day licences were banned by MNZ but maybee this series is run under a different set of rules -Like maybee its not a "real" race series and is just booked as controlled testing -

Chris this is a VERY relaxed series -they aint gonna worry about those brake lines. To be honest mate on that lil bike I think you'd do quite well In F3 -I thing its a riders track not a HP track.
HEY good news --Mella Yella is back on song --I'm now running total loss and shit she revs heaps faster
