[Kwaka-Kid]

Hey guys, havnt been keeping up with the play on this but really want to race in it, does anyone know where and or how (if i can) signup? and even better if you know what extras need to be done to the bike (ive now got teather kill switch).

Cheers KK

[Sparky Bills]

Apart from the usual catch bottle etc, the tether is the only other thing that you need for a street race. (that I know of)
Am stuck between doing this or Sound of Thunder down south.
If I find anything, I will let you know.

Entry forms are on the MNZ website.

Don't think I'll bet there this year. Saving money to do the nationals at manfeild and the Britten Memorial down Ruapuna.

The rule seems to exclude Japanese bikes? and your not allowed Alcohol or Dogs in the Pit ( what constitutes a Dog?) I saw some real Dogs in the pits one named Brenda for example!

Someone told me to look out for Oil sump plugs with holes drilled in them when buying a low k mint sports bike as this is a sure sign of a track bike

Is the sump plug drilled with a small angled hole then a wire threaded through and secured to ensure the plug is restrained from insecurity and thus a dump? I dont know. I noticed that the F3 Bikes at Paeroa are in many cases a pretty rough collection and all unnessasary weight is absent like primary sproket covers and the like. The last time I went they had supermotards in the f3 class what a farce to see as the sports bike try to navigate around the countersteering leg out Motards I hope they have a separate class this year? cause it spoils the racing for the Sportsbike. Stuff the motards let them get there own class I say. really the circuit does not allow for speed so its down to rider skill and thats good you could win on a vespa if you have the balls what a great spectical it is can't wait.

Kawa-kid is that a Motard you are riding or a canoe in your pocket?

More utter bollocks from Redstar!

[Kwaka-Kid]

[Redstar]

Then I'll support you and hope you do good. For them like me who like to watch take the following.

1. a plate for your kick stand the park up is grass.
2. A hat and sun screen if its sunny you'll fry (Slip slop slap)
3. beer money ( not suggesting you drive home stay in a tent perhaps )
4. a mate with a car to store gear is a good plan
5. a camera
6. a first aid kit for Kawa kid
7. Ear plugs the sound under the shop awnings is deafening and they sell plugs at $3.00 a set and you'll buy them for sure.
8. if not 4. have some locks for your gear there are some shady dude roaming as you always get

and money to get in there are plenty of staff looking for gate crashers but not shady dudes

[Kwaka-Kid]

yep what he said! Awesome redstar!

COME ON KB! get behind EBR, if not for me then for the other KB members associated with the team! Aiming to put on as professional an image i can on the shoestring budget ive been awarded from the bank of NODMAN (thankyoo!:spudbooge ) all help is accepted and appreciated, lets go have fun i also have 1 of the 2 Eh Boy Racing umbrellas currently unmanned (or unwomanned as the case is) should anybody know anybody/have sister/have daughter that wouldnt mind holding an umbrella over my grateful self Also could be looking for someone to ride the race-lookalike street VFR400 down should shadey be unavailable due to work.

Wanting to make this paeroa something special on the EBR side of things as its the best thing i can do considering it'll be my first time out on paeroa so getting good places in the races are almost out of the question (though anybody who's previously raced it-im dead keen to hear your experiences and thoughts as im going in there a little blind!)

and just for those that are here and see this

its the EBR site! only its far from finished and takes a little to load that first startup, worth a browse if you have the time i feel. Thankyou all

BUT, does it have to be a full licence??? Please say no..... otherwise, can we swap bikes (just for the day)???

Oh yeah and is it only $75?

[That Guy]

The licence thing must a concession thing for council etc to give the ok to race -perhaps also for idemnity insurance purposes? Anyway yep you need a motorcycle road licence as well as your MNZ licence for Wanganui so I guess Paeroa will be the same. Not sure on the learner's thing. Guess if you ride the 150 you'll be ok Chris!

Check it out for sure before you go. Better than turning up and not being allowd to race

No you don't,14 year old Keegan had no licence at Nelson and some of the young bucket guys at Greymouth didn't either,it will depend on how they organise the road closure,it should say on the entry form if in any doubt check with the organiser
