Hey guys, (and girls)
The technical issues experienced at the event really stuffed with the results recording, preventing proper results being printed throughout the day and stuffing up the certificates and all that.
The information is all there, however because it will have to be all worked out manually it is going to take a bit longer than ideal.
Keep an eye on the website www.cliffhanger.org.nz they will be posted up as soon as possible.
I THINK the organisers are going to lok at posting out certificates but that will also probably take a while.
Good shit to everybody who got out and gave it a go!
Str8jacket cracked the 200 mark she was aiming for with about a 205kph.
Fastest time of the day was the 1507cc Hayabusa at a wee bit over 200mph!

Well done Helen for cracking the 200kph mark.
What speed did Ivan get on his SV650? They are meant to do 127mph standard.
Can't get over the number of Busa's there.

That was great fun. I'm happy with the 250's speed. I'll have to make some mods for next time though to try squeeze out a few more kph.
A big thanks to the organisers as well.
While you sit there liking things just cos' everyone else does, I'll be standing up here keeping it real.

Aprillia RS sounded great but DAMN that little 150 could move! Loved the sound of the new 08 Fireblade aswell. Worth the trip and have to enter the november one I think

That's about right for events of this type, it's the wee situation where the people who typically enter the event, hardly ever actually help run any events, ie volunteer. Yet most usually find the time to complain...personaly i think they need to buck there ideas up.

Agree totally. How about next time instead of going to the pub, maybe ask if there's anything you could do to help make things move along a little faster. I know they were desperately low on volunteers this time, and a few key organisers missing due to other committments. It takes a fair amount of organisation to set up this wee event, mainly done by a small amount of people.

267KPH, Just about shat my keks, there was a fair bit of wind on that run and I had to work a fair bit for it!Woohoooooo, Go Hels!!!!!

Because of the computer glitch and a few problems with multiple bikes and rider swaps ad the like I can't tell you for sure but around 205ish.
If thats the case it is right on the button for standard.
Correct, they are looking at capping numbers 55 riders was way to many but there is always the worry of turning others away. I know the organisers are looking at capping numbers to a workable ammount and I will have a talk to them about pre- entries.personaly i think they need to buck there ideas up.

Driftin' is bang on right on this occasion. Sign on is supposed to conclude at 0900. People were still signing on way after that. Way too many bikes involved. 55 I think. Plenty enough volunteers to make the day happen, the problem is there's no co-ordination. Timing lights........get them sorted early so they're working on time. If the road is closed it stays closed until runs are finished. $60 is a big ask for this kind of wishywashery. I also will not attend again. A sentiment shared with most in the lineup. Shame really as I've always supported the event in the past.
However the marshalls should be applauded again. Patience beyond measure sitting out there all day doing their best.
Superdukes. Serving up shame to sportsbikes since ages ago.
