Ok, giving up on this now. Didn't realise you were delusional.

Manfield is a few hours North of Wellington, and well worth the drive down their to race.

Also, if this class is not offered at club level it probably won't be that big at Nationals level.

IMO you should get out there and just do it, whether its clubmans or F3, or streetstock (depending on which club you race with will determine what is available to you).

One thing you can never get back is time. And since time = experience, and practice makes perfect, why wait til the 'perfect class' comes?

The Victoria club also holds rounds at Taupo.

Just one round. And hopefully not even that next year.

the headlight weighs around 5kgs on its own plus i removed around 4-5kgs of poly prop plastic from the tail lost 5kgs with the new carbon exhaust so easly around 15kgs

and all ive read from most of the posts is.."not bothered", "got no balls" and "im to fat and i spend all my time online and dont actualy have a bike"
as for the guy/girls that are keen send me a pm, the race class is still in descussion but if there are enough people wanting to do it things will go faster.

Mine is currently under going a wee bit of work and is not eligible. But by all means chaos go and have the fun I am missing out on


Edit - am I allowed in on a 250 running a turbo....if not then count me out.

Sounds like you're not willing to put any effort in, Chaos.

Right, but Manfield is in feilding.
Taupo is in Taupo.

These are where the Vic Club meeting are held.

Taupo is all done for this year as far as Vic Club goes, but why not go to Manfeild?

Alternativley you could look here: http://www.amcc.org.nz/

I wouldn't get too caught up in the Club vs. National thing, you will probably find either way fast enough if you have little or no prior race experiance.

as from the 15th to 25th im on holiday and as for the just "pop" down to manfield when you live in west auckland and dont have a transport van/trailer to move the bike to and from the track. and on a limited budget, its not that simple.

plus this class would spend an almost equal time on most of the differant tracks in nz. so im not spending every other weekend going all the way down to manfield.

ive been told by some of the older bikers that have been there and done that, that this class would be much better to start with and that i would be waisting my time pouring my efforts into club level ones wich mainly race in mafield and the auck bassed amcc clubs are ok but not enough for serious races.

You are still yet to do a track day. Ever. Am I correct?

You are on a motorcycle networking website, if you can't arrange a cheap ride to Manfield and back then you're not using your keyboard right. People here are willing to help if you show ENTHUSIASM and DEDICATION. How do you expect to do a National Series on a limited budget? Most people are spending $5-10k minimum on travel/accomodation/consumables on doing the Nationals in similar classes.

What's your point? You think the people that do Nationals don't race at club level? Are you going to spend 'equal' time on all the other tracks? Where else do you expect to get on-track RACE experience? The nationals go to Manfield and Pukekohe.

When there are bikes faster than you in the same race then that is all you need. It's unlikely that you will jump into F3 or clubmans and be the fastest rider out there on a GT250R. The only way you'll be wasting your time is by NOT RACING. Each track has its positives and negatives, but the more experience you have dealing with different situations the better off you are going to be when you travel to the South Island and race at an unfamiliar track (there are three of them).

Have you thought anything about my suggestion of going bucket racing in the mean time? That's hardly going to detract from your racing fund, and a couple of the fastest riders in NZ still do bucket racing to stay fit and get used to 'up close and personal' racing.

If I were you then I would just give up now then. Racing aint easy or "simple" at any level mate.
