    best run it had and the frount 4 inches of the pipe got to 340ish deg
    normaly it stayed under 200 ??

    and the middle part only got up to about 100 deg

    the bottom of the radiator was about 20-25 deg and the top got close to 70 (the fans worked well)

    the head stayed around 40 deg and the barrel got up to about 80

    Is there somewhere we can view a list of entered bikes so that:
    1. We can see who else is going
    2. We can confirm our entry was processed

    Cheers

    Have you guy's not received your tickets yet? We got ours so I guess that is confirmation for us...

    Did you get them sent to your old address?

    It would be cool to see a list of who is going and from where.

    Great weekend. Shame about the weather.
    Thanks to those that stoped to see if we were OK on the way home. Especially the unknown lady from Morrinsville that got us tow started and Tim for following us most of the way to make sure we'd get there. Van finaly expired 950m up the road from home. Didn't nkow that a 15 year old econovan would do 105 in third. Hope I never have to do it again.

    What a great event. Personally I think the rain was a great and added another challenge to the event.

    Congrats to all those place getters.

    My big thanks for the eventgo to Henk for lending an engine to get me running on the Tuesday after my little mishap with mine on Monday, and big thanks to my courier who ferried it down from Auckland. I think I owe a few people a few beers.

    Based on conversations before you left the track, I guess it can only do 299km then but it is bloody good to know you made it in the end.

    For the record Qkkid was in my bed, not the other way round

    I agree the wet weather definitely added an extra dimension to the racing. First real time on wets and great to learn for me. Yes thanks to all who helped Pumba for sorting out an engine and then thanks to Pumba for such a great battle.

    What a blast
    what a time
    To be there next time
    would be a crime
