costs...???
i would expect it to be the same as the SS class.....
err, other words, i am not sure....

but EXCLUDING licence aprox $70-$100..
PLUS transponder....($35ish/day)

details will have to be worked out...

but i think what we had in Taupo would a great start......

I'm keen. Just let me know where, when, how much, etc. Would it be possible to organise us Wgtn bucketeers to share costs of getting there, pit hire, getting back, refreshments, getting T-shirts, armaments, etc?

And congrats to everyone for such great fun racing.

On a sad note my boots are worn out. Must stop riding duck feet

When pumba (Carl Smith) crashed he did more than sprain his arm like he was told he smashed it after sleeping on it in at his parents place he decide it wasn't getting any beter so of to the A&E in hamilton for an x ray.

He is now in waikato hospital ward 6/room 3 awaiting surgery tomorrow to plate the bone.

So if there is anyone in hamilton that can give him a vist that would be good.

Bugger for Carl. He was asked a couple of times if he was sure he hadn't broken it as the amount of pain he was in when he moved it, didn't quite seem "sprained".
Did see him later on without the sling, so thought maybe it wasn't as bad as some of us thought it might be.
Any idea as to how Andi is?
#4 garage wasn't a good one for injuries/crashes

cost, etc plu man power.. as all those who want it there also want to race...

but if we can arrange it the same time on the same track as the other bigger "faster" bikes... albeit a shorter track (club )... like we did during the lunch break this year..... (same one the moto boys used...)

what i want is for everyone to post or/and PM me, so i can take this to one of our club meetings and present a case......

so who is interested, we would use the same flagies and officals so no extra cost...(would need a MNZ licence/day licence)

Sorry, good points AJ; actually I didn't think that far through.
club track sounds like a good idea then (PM on the way).

Hi all we are still on holiday in Taupo but mannaged to got on a friends pc. I'm feeling stocked about my result. I had hoped for a top 5 result when I left Wellington. Did the Sunday practice and reassed and thought a top 10 would be more achevable. There were some fast bikes out there. I was very upset to see Richard go down.
I'm the first to admit I wasnt the fastest there but I was first across the line. I had to sit out the next race because I was so stuned about the win I didnt put fuel in my bike [dou].
I would like to thank Fi5hy for all his help and suppot and getting me into the sport. Richard [45] for all your help to and all the other Wellington riders.
I hope this dosnt start the debate about 4stroke vs 2stroke. The 2strokes were faster but didnt stay up or togethet. I think Richards motor could have won even against the 2strokes. There is some weight diff. Me and my bike is about 192kg. The nice man from ChCh is about 150. I will need to put my bike on a diet!
Thanks to the organisers also. As I said stunned and very happy.
