Easter weekend Kaitoke is go!

**hmurphy** · 25th March 2009, 23:15

Cool I will be there both days on my new FXR150 bucket! Yay!

Also, I have a 13 year old brother who would love the chance to have a go at the Kaitoke track in grade C. He is a very slow rider. He has a heart problem that holds him back from high exertion sports (gets breathless easily) but is damn good at riding his mountain bike.
If there is a chance he could have a crack at riding a bike on the track, that would really be something cool for him! I understand though if numbers are not great enough for a C grade.

See y'all there

Would it be possible for the lunch break be used as a regular slot for kids, to get out there? My daughter was over the moon she got to out, even though it was around a tiny part of the circuit.

This could be more appropriate at Slipway, no chance of lookin dangerous to the Karters.Good idea, any other comments,ideas to get learners and kids out there and interested.

She was very enthusiastic the whole day. I see a potential MotoGP rider in the making......!!!

Yes I agree, Slipway would be better for this.
I was rather nervous about the whole proceedings at Kaitoke last Sunday. Main thing was the factors, ie wet weather, no flaggies & and Kart staff watching us....

We did talk about a potential C class last night. See how the entries go first and decide on the day.

You ran a great day and much thanks for putting up with my daughter. Yes she is very keen, just needs that little bit more confidence to really get going. My other daughter wants to come up on the 11th to Slipway. So maybe a under 12 year old class (on Chinese mini dirt bikes)?

She was really cool, no hassle whatsoever

We'll decide on the day about a C class (sounds like a Merc, ay), but could work esp for youngies like you say.

Cool! My brother will come up to the Slipway then! He drives go karts a lot at Daytona raceway and really enjoys that. But after watching the buckets the other day, he decided 2 wheels are better than 4 (he is definately my brother)!

He wont be able to race as such, just putt around the track. So will he have to pay much? I will bring some cash for him anyway.

Cheers

I'll be bringing up a DS80 as well to Slipway if he wants a smaller size bike to go around the track on.

Damn you are generous about lending out your bikes aren't you man!! Sweet I might have to take you up on that deal! But Dad and I will try and get him started on the FXR in a car park with nylons etc. My new FXR is taking shape!!

Btw, I have a mate who wants to start bucketing. He has an RGV150 which he uses as a commuter. If he carbed this down, would it be ok (not against the rules) to take bucketing? I am hoping this will be ok because a full engine replacement might be a mission. Otherwise we will try get our hands on a TS125.

BREAKING NEWS !!

It has just been brought to my attention that Scooterazzi will be sponsoring the Easter Bucket Grand Prix.
Therefore it will become known as the "Scooterazzi Bucket Grand Prix" for obvious reasons.
Thanks Mark & Jono !!!

You're welcome

Seriously, we think the growth of bucket racing in Wellington is well worth supporting... plus we have heaps of fun doing it too!
