Winter Dragwars 08

[mark247]

Yep... that about sums it up

Your bike needs a current W.O.F & reg (it will go through a basic tech inspection before you can race) if you think it's capable of running under 10 seconds then you need to be wearing full leathers...

Ok that sounds good. My mate has a racebike that he races in F3 etc that me may enter, only it's a race bike... no WOF, will be be able to enter?

Your mate will have to run his bike in the "C - Bike" (Competition) bracket if it's not road registered...

*waits for the 2007 round 4 winter drag war results to be posted on the web site*

*prepares to take his 2007 YZF-R1 to the first round of the 2008 winter drag wars*



I wonder how they'll like being beaten by a piece of seafood...

[NOMIS]

Just out of curiosity.

Whats the fastest 4 stroke 250 any one has seen that isn't turbo ect?
And, would any one no what my hornet would do?? I've taken a car down but wouldn't mind seing my reaction time on my bike.

So you just turn up on the day and pay the $25 and ya racing?

Plus the $15 to enter through the gate regardless if your racing or spectating and then your racing.....provided your bike has a current WOF and rego and it passes scrutineering (as long as you have a wof you shouldnt fail, unless your tyres are fu@#ed or something like that)

Oh and make sure you have gloves....you would be suprised the amount of people that turn up without them!! 100+mph and asphalt surfing = sore hands.

unless your tyres are fu@#ed or something like that)

I have two rear wheels, one with my brand knew GPR-10 on it and the other with an old battlax that it not warrentable in the middle. Kinda wanna use the battlax... do you think they would mind?

I could just put my warrentable one on then swap them once im in....

I could be wrong but because it's a street meet they don't run comp bike's as a rule may pay to ring the track on 0800372472 better safe than sorry

does it cost more for C class?

[Wheeliemonsta]

does it cost more for C class?

No it doesn't, its just the class the bike will be running in...

Might pay to ring the "Powers That Be" as Mugins has suggested to make sure the bike can actually be run on the day...

Cheers



*** Mark247 - Run your Bridgestone, it's kind of pointless ragging your good road tyres... Provided it's not showing canvas or any damage you'll be fine ***

[Fat Rat]

There is no comp bike or modified bike divisions at the winter drag wars unfortunately.

The whole day is DYO (dial your own) racing or grudge racing if you just wanna race against a couple of your mates all day.

There is the occasional comp car that comes down for the winter meets so i suggest you ring the track manager Scott Campbell on 0274944775 to see if you can bring a race bike.

The weather forecast is looking pretty good for Sunday.

Yep sadly it's looking that way atm eh mate. Sucks arse as I've got our ZX14 prepped and ready to buzz with a fat arsed race slick etc but with this crap weather due on Sunday I'm wondering whether it's going to be worth the drive over...which means if I don't come,it'll be mint

Same here! Bike's all ready, Sam made up a bracket so i can have a camera on the bike for sunday and everything... and after leaving driver's last night my tyre is a slick as well

Fingers crossed it will clear up.

Hell, a slick, you're well prepared Chris, I was looking for shinko 003 but it seems noone in Auckland stocks them at the moment, so chucking on an old dodgy Avon Azaro for the day...
