Well, after 10 consecutive years racing at Paeroa and some soul searching I'm sending my entry back.
Not so much the event which is the issue, because it's bloody awesome, but it's the bad luck that has plagued me there. Guess you could say the final straw was my bike burning to into an unrecoginisable black lump last year after getting caught up in the first corner pile up in F2.
That equated to about 10mins track time from the practice sessions .... and it was the first outing for the bike after a ground up rebuild involving perhaps 100 hrs work .. thereabouts anyway.
That bike is now stacked in a pile in the corner of my shed ready for when I have nothing else to do in my life.
My other race bike projects are still just that .... unfinished piles of parts.
So I entered Paeora with the notion that I'd do it on my road bike ... done that before, twice.
Takes about 6 hours to change it into a race bike .... and about 6 months to put it back on the road. First time was OK, second time the throttle cable broke in the first practice ... ringing the poor things neck down the front straight ....... ummm maybe 2 minutes track time !! Fuck.
And, of cause, no spare.
So I just entered Bears this year cos the 748's to slow for F2 now. That's 2 races and 2 practices. However, being second to last race of the day poses the chance that I might only get one race.
Hmmm .... maybe 12-16 mins track time at best.
The hours, the cost and the anguish just don't stack up anymore.
Think I'll go for a surf with my kids this year.
So I'll be thinking of you cats sweating on the dummy grid for 20mins or so in the mind numbing heat .... while I'm scimming the waves.
