And the southerner excuses start already. Shit man, you sounds more and more like dangerous by the day

It's a track, its got straights, then these funny wiggly things after the straights (when I figure out how to maneuver the wiggly things without falling off, i'll get back to you)

As far as gearing goes, I would think you'd probably not go any faster then 100 km/h down the straight. So Ruapuna gearing would be a tad tall me thinks.
Why I'm giving this top-secret info away is anyones guess .....

Because it's in the spirit of the class - that's why.
I'm not getting into top gear anywhere on the track (4 speed remember) and that gearing was OK at Ruapuna. Richban would be the one to ask about FXR gearing.

I was only p/t ing !!!!!
If I had an FXR I'd happily divulge.

For anyone who's running a Loncin I'm running 14-54 and peaking in top going both directions (actually a little under-geared going clockwise)

Only just seen this thread (heavens -I must be working at work!

)

Awesome, this is a great track. Bit of a drag with the early start & the waits for the races, but still not as bad as big bike racing.

If we can do a few of these & then pop for a day(weekend) by ourselves we could run a 2hr & maybe one day a proper GP.

**nudemetalz** · 21st November 2008, 08:39

That's the plan. Great venue for a 2 hour.
We'd need a lot of support to run one though, eg flag marshall, lapscoring etc, but guess it's no different to the Slipway one.

oh yeah I was going to send you some data on that. PM me an email address so I can attach some files

**Trudes** · 24th November 2008, 09:29

So is there any word on when we may get another ride in at Kaitoke?

**nudemetalz** · 24th November 2008, 11:30

The date of their funday is the 21st.
It's very close to Xmas and also the weekend before the Taupo ride.
Is anyone here interested in doing it because if so, I'll organise it with the Kart guys.
Be good as a last chance to check the bike's running okay for the big event I guess.
