Streetstock on a Yamaha Scorpio?

[jrandom]

The bike doesn't qualify as a streetstock. 250 prolite is the closest class ya got.

Copy that.

So long as they let it out on the track and there's someone to play with, all will be choice.

First one was better, but that exhaust on the second one is sweet. Not so keen on the third one at all.

EDIT ok the forks on the third one are great.

Those are just slip over gators bro. You want some for the Triumph?

Sweet....
Stick a Number on you Seat (So the flaggies can see it), and take off your side stand (or borrow a couple of zip ties for the day - I can supply those) and it's all go (I take it all your breathers are in a catch bottle)....

See you there. Will be good to have a few more ProLites in the field...
At least then Spyda won't call the class tedious...

Coolant? Heh. Scorpios got none of your fancy 'coolant', son. Edit: Beat you to your edit!

Yes, there'll be a catch bottle on the breather.

Number on the seat? On which side? Both sides? Is that compulsory, or can one get away with just a number on the front?

If all goes to plan, there'll be two Scorpios at the track next weekend. If everyone fucks off and we can't catch them then we'll just have to play by ourselves.

Yeah, had a brain fart there for a second, and forgot we were talking aircooled

Just need two numbers in accordance with the rule book.
If at Taupo (as you will be), have it so it can be read from the right hand side....
Reminds me, I better change the nose fairing before next weekend...

Well, put it this way, there will always be bikes you end up in a battle with, there is about a 20 second spread in lap times From the fastest CBR250 to the not so fast SS150. We have a lot of juniors int he field.

Rightio. Do I read the PMCC website correctly that they only allow numbers under 100, or will I be able to use my old number 256? Suppose I should give them a yell. I've resigned myself to sucking up the late entry fee, but it might be a good idea to ping them before the day.

Sweet. It'll be interesting to see how the practice day goes on Saturday.

Yes, give Nige a yell to see if you can run a 3 digit number.... I think it is only for the nationals? Could be wrong, often am. road.racing@pacclub.co.nz

Practice? That's cheating
Na, should be good. Am trying to get there for the Saturday.

I raced under 256 with PMCC in 2008/2009, but I don't know if the rules have changed. I'll check it out.

There's a MotoTT day on the Friday as well if you really wanted to get things well dialled in. Heh.

Dang, wish I could get there for that too...
Is the MotoTT on Track 4 like Saturday and Sunday though??

It's actually on Track 5, a MotoTT creation which is Track 4 plus a chicane in the back straight. I wouldn't complain at all if that was the track for the weekend too, to be honest!

(Edit: in any case it still works as practice for Track 4)
