Enter Scrivy's endurance race, you bunch of softcocks!

[jrandom]

Monday 29 December 2008.

Scrivy's booked the Taupo A1GP circuit for the day, and he's running a 1-hour race for the 'juniors' (< 600cc) and a 3-hour race for the 'seniors' (everything else).

$120 to enter the junior race, $250 to enter the senior. Plus two or three tanks of gas and however much rubber you go through.

I know you all spend that much every month on your Belgian lagers and homosexual takeout coffees, so don't try to tell me you can't afford it.

This isn't a balls-out sprint race, so if you have a shit lap you can recover from it, and it's not a trackday, so you don't have to be polite to anyone. You won't get the opportunity to do this sort of thing very often.

I'm doing it on my GSX1400, and I might manage 1:50 laps on a very good day with a tailwind down the back straight, so being slow is no excuse for not being there.

Here's the thread. You don't have to pay until 1 Nov - PM sidecar bob ASAP if you can confirm your entry now.

It'll be a real shame if not enough riders enter by 1 Nov and scrivy has to cancel the whole thing.

Ooh, err. 29 December, you say. Hmmm.

An Old Fart on a sports tourer could be interested in something like that. Three hours at full noise may even require a fuel stop...

Please Please, any one with a MNZ license enter this meeting!!!

Scrivvy is tyring very hard to make some changes and improvements, if WE do not support him, how can WE expect him to support us?

Im Entered!

So is a MNZ license mandatory for this event?

You can get a licence for the day for $10 or so, I believe.

And I think a lot of people might be surprised at how well a smoothly-ridden FJR1300 could do at an event like this.



Also note, folks, that you don't have to do it alone - teams of two riders can enter, just pootle through into pit lane and swap riders as desired during the race.

Please excuse my noobyness...

A $10 day license is procured how? What bureaucracy is involved in getting one?

Bring your $10 note along on the day and scrivy will have the paperwork waiting for you.

Edit: It might be $20... or $15?

[Duke girl]

My understanding of a Day Licence is $30 per event.

[icekiwi]

Is that 600cc and under or up to 600cc
Can I do the hour race on my ZX6RR?

There is one priviso, you need to be a member of a motorcycle club affilliated to Motorcycling NZ (like Vic Club, $35 sub - see the following bureaucrats: Treasurer [Me], the sec [Nasty] or the Race Sec [Duke Girl]).

You then just roll up to the track and purchase a $30 day licence (assuming scrivvy has purchased a book of them)

Three hours at full noise may even require a fuel stop...

at full noise for three hrs I would require 4 fuel stops...

While most clubs will charge you $30, Scrivy only wants $15 in this case, 100% confirmed.

You can purchase a membership to the NZ Sidecar racing association on the day for $5, so that will cover that little issue, Total cost of licencing for the day $20
