F3 rules in one paragraph

[GSVR]

pro twins is dirt cheap though???? so what the hell are you complaining about??

Streetstock is dirt cheap. F3 and ProTwin is cheap if you don't mind being uncompetitive. Ask Sam Love or Geoff Booth what they spent to prepare a bike or in Geoffs case two bikes to do the Nationals this year.

Was I complaining? None of this effects me personally as I don't race. But I do know alot of clubracers and understand the reasons they don't consider racing at the nationals. Many think its for guys that are racing at another level to them and if they show up will only get in the way or not be welcome.

Yeah . Cameron Jones I believe. But theres a story behind that bike I'm sure. Should have asked at Puke. I think it originally came from Auckland or is this just a rumour?

Bit like Deanos bike. That was like winning the lotto really. The Jones bike was a mess and had to be fixed. Andres bike was mint from the turners auction. The suspension cost more than the bike I believe.

As a first year F3 racer I'd have to say F3 at a club level is cheap! It's not untill you get a taste for it and want to go fast that the money starts disappearing.

I think that 2 stokes should be able to go over 250cc but still used the production bottom end.

Tyga perforance do a 300cc kit using NSR150 barrels. http://tyga-performance.com/site/pro...eeb54d6ad89ad3 but at close to 800 pound it's not a cheap option.

How many "400's" are actually closer to 500's??

I do undersatnd that pro-twin is a bit of a production class and I hope to move into it towards the end of the year but I think the difference between a entry level F3 bike and NZ F3 #1's bike for example is way too far apart that they need to be seperate classes!!

If you were going to spend big money why wouldn't you just move up a class??

In my opinion NZ should be producing faster riders not faster bikes!

There are 3 Jones brothers. Dom, Patch and Cam. Once I used to be faster than them all, but one by one.... Oh well....
Patch rides the budget "Burt Munro" special pro twin. He won 2 races and the Grand Prix at Ruapuna. Only two F3 bikes were ahead of him as well as dipped into the '39's. So yes, Pro Twin bikes are pretty handy.
And the story continues. We had to give the front barrel back we borrowed, and just now I'm sleeving the damaged original with a sleeve from a Lister dieselgenerator engine, about mid 50's and from Stewart Island. It'll be fast.....

How cheap do you copsider cheap G man?

I think $15000 would build as good a rpo-twins bike, as any out there, and that aint fuck all considering the things only need oil changes by way of maintanence.

It's all perspective I guess.

4 stroke single cylinders - open capacity.

This is good, as I have a plan, a xr650 motor in my spada chassis hehe.

I doubt it will be hugely competitive but fuck it I'm gonna throw it down anyway, hopefully the finished item will look a little more professional than this one..

Edit - p.s if anyone wants to make a donation to said project I am open to charity, cheers
