Kiwibikers Drag Night
5pm Friday 4th Feb 2005
Champion Dragway, Meremere

After some recent discussion, a lot of people have shown interest in a Kiwibiker visit to the Friday Night Drags at Meremere. This is open to bikes and riders of all levels (and cars) and is a pretty casual affair. Either line up against your mates or the next person in line. On a typical night you will get in 10-15 runs.

Riders will need a full bike licence (not sure about learners on 250's?).
Valid WOF/Rego (not sure about race bikes?).
You will need to bring the usual riding gear as well (helmet,gloves,leathers etc).
Gates open 5pm. Racing from 5:30pm-til late (i.e. 2am)
Spectator fee: $10
Racer Entry fee: additional $15

All this is off the top of my head so if anyone else knows better speak up!

'tis good fun, I have raced both cars & bikes at Meremere, although I prefer to run the bike during the daytime sessions.

I might bring the Pajero down for a thrash - do they have a lane divider? Sometimes I like to change lanes without indicating,I'd hate to have my style constraind by by stupid bloody safety rules.

I'm thinking I might run my off road tyres and lower the pressure a bit - the fairings on these 600cc sports bikes don't offer much grip I've found....

Unfortunately your not allowed to race against a car on your bike.
Its bloody good fun,Went to a few with death.
I wondered why I could only do 11.4 on my old gsxr11,found out 2 of the slides in the carbs were cracked.

Just wait till death gets his zx turbo finished.
