Quick help needed - watercooled in which class?

[daytona 2]

you should come up to auckland at mt wellinton once a month...lots of fun and an awsome track {appartently edgecumb is in bad condition} mt wellinton is a good learners track with the most riders attending meetings. it some good practice for learning though because edgecumb probualy wont lets your boys ride their bikes because the race commitee needs to see them race for a certain amount of times to let the in to junior open.....but at mt wellington they can go in either junior class or senoir class .....ur choice

I am pretty sure they will let them on the track is some class or other. We will be pretty fucking PISSED OFF if they don't. Can't imagine it somehow. I don't think they will be "racing" for some months.

Hay DB
Daytona could be right it's in the rules there for junior open but as I said get along to there fun day in two weeks and have a chat to Ken or Geoff and see where you stand... how old are your kids??
The fun day in two weeks is also the prize giving for there season so should be a good event to get along to.. got to see how I go with parts I may show as well lol.

They are 13 and 15. 15 y/o has his class 1/6 learners.

Clearly they won't be "racing" in the near future - nowhere near experienced on the track. The 13 y/o is viciously competitive and completely fearless, and the 15 y/o can already ride (has his own brand new GT250R), so I wouldn't discount them too quickly.

I cannot imagine two teenagers turn up with pocketbikes and they cant ride them. How can that be possible ? Itsa pocketbike club innit ? I'm not gunna freak out.. I'm just gunna go down there with the bikes and say hi.

na that should be alright......just say youve been mt wellington a few times and if your kids are very confident they will deffently let you...by the way edgecumb is not going to turn down racers so it should be algud


dB i think you will find that everyone at minimoto racing is very friendly and relaxed anyway..that another reason do minimoto racing is because everyone there is very helpful and nice its not like go-karting when it all about the racing and winning its also a social event....

the clubs have to make there rules for a reason though because some people as shown at mt wellinton last week break every rule and endanger everyone on the track.....saince you seem to be a motorcycle family they will take this into consideration and propualy let you into junior open....

[CookMySock]

if your kids are very confident they will deffently let you...

I doubt that the 7 yearold racers were "very confident" when they started.

15yo he'll be joining the senior 14 group on there B1's and racing with the adults so no problem there.

[daytona 2]

trust me some are....there is a one kid at mt wellington that crys and has a fit if he dosnt win.....that rather confident

[Gadgit]

Back in the day when the sport was new there was a young 4 almost 5 year old running a 910 4.2 polini and he did really well... because he was light he killed the field, way out in front lol but rules are there for a reason and it's moslty to keep the clubs insurance co' happy...

[daytona 2]

back in the day.... the sport sport was new like 5 years ago....man that kid must of been preety fast gadgit.....at mt wellinton i always get to the first corner first becauss of my weight...but 3m man and alan always find ways of beating me to the second corner..

[Gadgit]

Yea he was quick... I think he still shows up to the Mt welly meets now and then with his dad Phil Griffiths on the blue GP3 race number 111

[daytona 2]

... i know that kid..he races at edgecumb..his dad is awsome..he has heaps of polini's

[Gadgit]

Yea if my memory serves me right he has a GP3 (Phil's bike), GRC GPRacing (wifies bike), and a couple of 910 Carrea's for the kids...

[BigAl]

Hi Guys,

Yeah Phil and his son ride occasionally at Mt Welly, son is aged about 8 now and is pretty hard to beat. I haven't seen them for awhile.

[CookMySock]

well they turned up today. Kids suitably impressed, until one stops suddenly with a brrrrr, and won't restart ? wtf? not very funny..

It has spark and compression. Any hints ?
