Im kinda hoping that a two stroke does win it, #17 though, representing the Mainland

. If nothing else check out the finish on that bike, it would make HRC proud to turn out a bike as well prepared as his. He cleaned up the bucket class at Greymouth Street Races, including the hot Aussie CBR150 and Joe

He's used to racing on a full size circuit too.
He should go well!

Is the F4GP at Taupo today or tomorrow?

[QUOTE=bucketracer;1129583939]Interestingly at 30k you get quite good cooling and need to go 120k to double the cooling effect. All this air speed and cooling effect was covered earlier in this thread. It turns out that 15-45k is a very effective air speed, slow enough for the air to pickup its fill of heat and fast enough to clear the hot air from the fins, if your engine is suffering heat fade you might benefit from fitting some air ducting.

And if you really need water cooling you could just fit a thermal switch to the head and squirt water over the fins from a windscreen washer bottle when the motor gets hot.

Have you gone to any trouble to read much of this thread?

I have started and am not gona ask any more Q's untill i have caught up otherways im just gona piss somone off lol i am copying and pasting all the bits that have spec's etc

OK so how the ESE racers going at Taupo?
Any Diesels in the top 10?
How did the mainlanders go?

Any more broken engine mounts?

That should cover it.

Well it turned out to be a long weekend for a few of the ESE team. Saturday 2nd Practise session. Chambers had just started to really get his GP100 going well when he took a spill at the end of the back staright into the main start. He high sided the bike and was unfortunately hit by a trailing bike. He was Ko'ed for a while. He was not looking well when the ESE guys all stopped trackside to help him. Thankfully paramedics arrived pretty quickly. He was pretty shacken and had a pretty impressive bruise on his rear.
His engine certainly had real speed. Chambers was not racing for the rest of the weekend so Avalon jumped on his bike.
She ran it in the F4GP. She really made that bike sing. Unfortunately she also took a spill which did not help. She got back on but the race was run for her and she ended the GP around 12th

TZ350 had a few problems wth performance and decided to change his engine on Saturday. This was the engin he had run last year but it just did not want to perform and the weekend became a bit of a downer for him.

Buckets4me ran pretty well and he made some big gains in his running from last year. He did well and I am sure he would be happy with his results.

I (Ned Kelly) had not a bad weekend. I qualified 8th in the F4GP. Qualifing time 1:30.33. This was a huge improvement on last year.
I was pretty sure the bike was going to perform pretty well. Avalon had found all the problems with the bike which we made sure were well and truely repaired before Taupo. I had a real poor start and ended up mid feild before working my way back through the feild to finish 10th
I was pretty happy as my best laptime was 1:29.52. 5sec better than last years best lap.
Had a DNS in the second race gear leaver linkage came loose on the warmup lap and had no option to pull into the pits.
Final race finish 11 but was right on the tail of the 8,9,10 bikes. Had a good weekend and really enjoyed the weekend. We have work to do to catch the real flyers but at least we are making improvements.

Have a great New Year All.

Ned Kelly

Very well I heard, maybe the NI bikes aren't as fast as they'd like to think

From the official results and as I remember it.

In the two F4/F5 all in races Nathanial Diprose rode a 50 into 5th (BT 1:32:35) and 7th (BT 1:30:79) respectively, and there were at least 10 Diesels behind him.

The fast guys were:-

Andrew Adlam FXR150 Wellington 1st in the GP (BT 1:27:48) ? and 2nd in the two F4/F5 combined races.

Darryl Cotton Honda RS/MB100 CHCH 2nd in the GP (BT 1:27:39) 1st and 1st in the two F4/F5 combined races.

Neil Batchelor MB100 Rangiera 3rd in th GP (BT 1:27:94) 2nd and 3rd in the two F4/F5 combined races.

Other fast runners were:-

Gavin Veltmeyer FXR150 Auck 4th in the GP (BT 1:28:76) 3rd and 4th in the two F4/F5 combined races.

Richard Ford FXR150 Auck 5th in the GP (BT 1:28:88) 4th and 6th in the two F4/F5 combined races.

Tim Frazer FXR150 Auck 6th in the GP (BT 1:28:89) 6th and 5th in the two F4/F5 combined races.

And the best time recorded by a Team ESE bike was NedKelly on his RS/GP125 at 1:29:52

The worst moment was when Chambers high sided of his bike in practice, knocked himself out and was hit by another bike that could not avoid him. Chambers recovered pretty quickly and now has a big bruse on his bum, there are pictures some where.

The best moment was watching Avalon on Chambers bike start from the back of the GP grid and cut her way to near the front in one lap. On the second lap her race was cut short when she fell at the same spot as Chambers had, she re-mounted and sensibly rode a more reserved race for a finish, 12th I think.

Chambers GP100 sure had the leggs needed but getting the old GP frame to handle well enough to run at the front might be a bridge to far.
