Minimoto South Island?

[imdying]

where abouts do you go set up your track? what sort of bikes?
I think i'll ring supakarts and check out next monday availability

We have 2 B1 replicas, a ZPF replica, and three Daytona 2s. We setup in the Hornby area. Be good to talk to some others here in Christchurch, I'll PM you with my contact details.

[imdying]

Oh, check here too. It's dead as at the moment, but should be useful in the future.

i have been in contact with the blenheim kart track and they are going to discuss it at their agm this month. if anyone else in the sth island in interested put something up here. as more numbers for a kart track = more revenue

Might be worth traveling to that AGM?

Hi Mark

Your request to use the Marlborough Kart Club track for pocket bikes has been passed on to me as I am Club Captain of the Club.

Your request needs to be discussed by the committe and I will take it to our next meeting which is on the 24 June.

So I have a bit more information can you please reply in regards to the following and anything else that you think would be benefical for us to know:
Would you be looking at group competition days or individual use?
How often would you like to use the track - one-off day or regular days?
Number of bikes
Once we have held our meeting I will get back to you with the outcome.

Regards

Yeah, bit short notice for us too!

- Group competition I guess would be the term I'd used! Perhaps just for plain old fun would be more realistic initially... I know I've yet to ride the bike anywhere near it's capacity, but that's mostly due to lack of a track.
- Once a month would suit me.
- If you have a dozen guys, and we have another three, then say ten would be a realistic figure? I assume some of your lot have families etc?

Hope that helps... obviously we're happy to pay for the privilege, depends on how much though as she's a fair hike up there.

We all have 40cc air cooled bikes too, so that'd be fine

Hi Guys

Great to hear thats things are revving up down your way.

Although im living in Hawkes Bay now , Wellington racing can still hapen.
I still have all the contacts their.
Even if its a one off meeting i can still arrange it. Maybe once you guys get sorted you should adopt the NZMMRC rules and we could have a North versus South champs or something in Wellington and the next year in Blenheim.
Just a thought.
Kelsey , How would that be with NZMMRC ?
We know how much everyone loved that track.

Cheers Greg

Sounds like it could be good to me if the SI guys are keen I'll put it to the rest of the commitee and then bring it up at the next round and see what interest we get.
Great move forward if it happens.

I'm into it. If only the chch kart clud has less council regulations imposed on them. I believe it is still worth applying. Is there possibility of some guys joining nzmmrc and approaching the kart track - even if it is only for head bangin against walls - it gets alot more traction when it comes from an organisation. I'll let you know how the Blenheim club option goes.

I've just had some positive feed back from the Wigram Airforce Museum. They have an Air strip and huge tarmac turning circles that are unused by planes.
They're getting back to me but said quite possible that pocket bikes could come use the area.

Lady Wigram Trophy is on
