Who's coming to the Carterton Sprints on the 22nd Nov?

[Str8 Jacket]

I'll try stealing the ZX-10 instead If not, I might have a go for a giggle. The SM is geared for ~200, it starts getting scary above 160, and 180+ is fearsome. What's the run up distance for a flying quarter ?

Cant remember off the top of my head but its a down hill incline with plenty room enough to 'fly'!

. What's the run up distance for a flying quarter ?

Only a measly 1.2km.

Enough for most 1000 sportsbikes to peak.

Weather forecast looks pretty good.

Ha, yeah i never thought about that. it's quite a dag, i get to work every day lookin like that. Its funny how many people comment on it.
time to shorten the hair... again.. grumble.

I'm pleased to hear the bike was sounding OK, i couldn't hear it (being the rider of course). it would have been great to have someone do a run so i could see how she sounds. I've always loved the VF sound. especially the NC24's and the like. freekin great sounding machines. i wondered if you could hear the vtec kick in on the 800, you sure can feel it!

Thanks to all the people who helped run & marshall the event, I had a ball & it seemed so did everyone else!

Did anyone get any good photos of the event??

sorry for the speed of the server, it's on a great connection, but it's a very slow old processor driving the show.

oh, if you can not be bothered waiting for the slow server gallery scripts, go here for the raw files.. http://gavweb.dts.net.nz/Cliffhanger/

you'll just have to 'click n guess' to see what each one is of i'm afraid.

Yep, could definately hear the Vtec kick in during the standings. It was too loud to hear much of anything up at the start of the Flyings.

Awesome day. Anyone else get sunburnt?!?

And 318 for Dean Van Ingham (sp?) fucken awesome! He only ended up doing about maybe 3 or 4 timed flying runs but they were all over 300kph. Think I remember something about some bird that flew into his helmet and made a huge mess on one run?
