Not much you can say other than - my bikes not running so I won't be there.
24 views to date though.

Yeah I'm def not coming, I'm still broken from the last time in Feb

Looks like a good chance to knock the Welly Crew off the points. We seem to be crowding it at the top.

ive been their for a weekend when i raced pocket bikes...

awsome track!! its got lots of straights and lots of corners......
very wealthy club so the track is in top condition

it makes mt wellington seem like a goat track

Yeah. My poor little post wasn't getting much love at all. Unless you mean "love" as in zero score (like in tennis). I'd love to see a few more people going along, but i can't talk ... I've been promising to head down there for at least a year. Steve was probably getting ready to scrub me off his mailing list. I'm just looking forward to trying out a new track and having a blast!!! There's another meeting at the same track in a month, going the other way round the same track, so we might have to make another trip soon!

id come tim but my fxr is in the workshop getting a make-over

**saxet** · 28th April 2009, 20:35

Yeah I won't be there. Too many projects.

**fixer** · 28th April 2009, 23:03

I'm sure that most of the bucket racers among us would like to head for Hastings (or some other bucket meeting) this weekend given enough time and money, arms and legs, and any old bucket of sh*t to race.

Have a great weekend all.
