Go Kart tracks for Bucket bike racing

[Shaun Harris]

could some one please build me a list of tracks through out NZ that allow bucket bike racing on them please

[mr bucketracer]

Tokoroa
kaitoki
taumarunui
roys hill "some times"
mt wellington

just of the top of my head

Add Te Puke (although I believe the Motoards have caused issues with that one and we have not been back this season) and Edgecome to the list and you have all the tracks we have used in the recent past.

Dare I ask why Shaun? I am sorry if this is blunt, but to me your question feels leading, and I know how much work the organising committie put in with the tracks to ensure continuing access to these facilities and would hate to see anyone stuffing that up.

(p.s. dare I also suggest that the Bucket section of the Forum would be a better place for this)

And to be quite honest, there used to be twice that amount of tracks available once upon a time, when you add in road racing venues. Poor Bucket Racing has been squeezed back far to much as it is, we would all like to see other tracks made available, as long as we take care to track protect our bikes properly.

Simply because I have some off shore friends that are looking at coming out for a few months with there 4 sons and want to be able to have there boys on tracks as much as possible.

there is at least beer in it for you to compile a full real list with contact details mate if you are interested in doing this for me?

Then the better question to be asking Shaun (in the Bucket Forum) is:

"What organised race meetings are on between x date and x date that my offshore friends can ride at?"

I know for a fact that you will not get on Mt Wellington anytime apart from organised race days because we have lost the ability to practise mid week due to incidents in the past.

Kaitoke is off limits to all those that are not members of the Kart track and even then I am not sure of the rules.

Roys Hill they are racing there this weekend. THis is the one and only time a year it happens (and who knows how much longer for due to consenting issues)

Te Puke is off limits at the moment as I said earlier.

Tamuranui is the only track I can say with any confidence that you will have no issues playing once you have paid your money.

Tokoroa I dont know what the Kart clubs attitude is to randoms walking in off the street wanting to run bikes; however from my personal point of view given it proximity to me and that it is my favourite track is that if anybody does anything to fuck up us using it (because we are all guilty by association, Te Puke is the classic example) then god fucking help you.

Edgecome is an unkown to me.

spoke to them about it a couple of years ago and they said NO WAY sorry

You could add Greymouth to the list, the Westland Kart Club will let the track be used for buckets.
Not that it has seen any bucket racing for a while, but I hired the track for a couple of hours to do some
testing a couple of weeks ago.

If you go ahead with this please make it very clear to the tracks that you are dealing with that you have nothing to do with any of the bucket racing that goes on at the moment but are doing it as a private individual.
We have done too much work over the past couple of years and have too much to lose to have it screwed up by somebody that forgot to nylon their bar ends or foot pegs.

No panic but once bitten...

Understood man. one thing I never do is bite the arse of people/things that feed me, and in this case that is any thing related to racing bikes. Hey this may well even lead to a BRAND NEW Small track for " Kayo" MiniGP bikes yet??? I never give up trying man.
