    Also, who has a bucket with a fuel gauge anyway? that's not a racing part.
    So what are you doing here then? Go find this rugby forum & give them brain damage. Not that it would be noticable.
    Don't you look at my accountant.

    I'm here to fix my own brain damage, thesis proof reading is mind-numbing, buckets however, are much more interesting.

    If you got points for using the 1L of fuel fastest I should win handily. 1L disappears in a 15min practice session more or less - 430 main jet!

    My turbo used about 1L/lap at Pukekohe.

    Not at Bucket meetings I hope.
    I would hate to see Buckets turn into some sort of playschool kids learning class. There are enough Bucket classes and entrants to easily fill in the day without having to spend/waste time watching little Johnny and Suzie putting around. I am all for teaching kids about bikes but not at Bucket meetings.

    Also, many thanks for the reply. It is good to see the MNZ offering a possible ruleing (official or not).

    That's not bad. My streetstock only did just a little more than that. May be 2 laps a L.

    They only have feet off at corner entry. Mid turn and exit it's feet up.

    And it hasn't been shown to make them any faster anyhow..

    same rules if you can run it over it's 10+ points (double if the rider already has a broken foot)

    There are 450cc moto bikes being lowered, clad in plastic, new wheels etc then being raced as f450 bikes. I wonder if this would be doable for these little 150 motos. Maybe not financially viable, or even worth the effort. But still doable.

    It is eligible, with mods. And with the amount of money and time that is going into some of these f4 buckets, it's not an overly ridiculous thought.
