Buckets at Taupo Road Race Spectacular

**Skunk** · 17th June 2008, 14:25

General Bucket discussion thread for this event to keep it out of the other threads.

Who's planning on going?
What are ya taking?
What records are you going to break?

I've booked two pits (one double) at Taupo for the TRRS (27-28th Dec) and I am taking bookings.
The more the cheaper - but it will be limited to 16ish.
It's two near the pit entry. $400 is the total cost to be split among the takers.

Pit spaces booked (max 12ish):
1 bert
1 koba
1 all4A50s
2 Dangerous
1 F5 Dave
1 Trudes
1 Kendog
1 Skunk
------------
3 left (current total price per bike: $45.00)

I'm also taking a trailer of Buckets to the meet and currently have spaces left for those in Welly (or en-route). Cost is equivalent to $30 in todays money (diesel prices...) return. I'll be going up to Taupo on the 26th at this stage. Staying at the track 27-28. Those who have booked on the trailer - who wants shares in the pit?

Trailer from Welly (max 8):
1 Skunk Control
1 Sketchy
1 Koba
1 Trudes
1 Kendog
1 Skunk
------------
2 left

I'll be there with bells on, and with any luck, wheels on!

Yep I'm going, I'd like to share a pit.
I'll take the tzr145. My record to break will be to complete a race on it without it breaking down.

Im interested but unreliable at this stage.

Breaking records is far less likely than breaking bones or bike

You want a trailer space?

The record I'm planning to break is to not come last. Which requires me to finish every race. Hmmm, tall order.
The ZX1R and AX1R are the current bikes. Will have to see if the TZR-TF125 is ready. Anyone seen a cheap supply of gasket and seal kits for a TF125?

I'll take my van up, will probably have room for one more bike, tbc.

Yes please for Lady P to have a pit space.

Might get a pit girl too with a brolly...

Sheez, tyre warmers next, then I'll need a remote rear-wheel starter...
Damn I watch too much MotoGP !!!!!!

I have plans for a rear-wheel starter...

**nudemetalz** · 17th June 2008, 17:16

Can be done fairly easily I reckon.

I'm CAD designing box-section alloy front and rear paddock stands at the moment.
Sick of having to lean the bike up against the trailer.

Ill probably be doing two classes so i might need a pit space for my bucket. Will get back to you.

**ajturbo** · 17th June 2008, 17:38
