Taupo Truck Racing Meeting, May 10-11, 2014, Motards and Hyosungs
"This will be the third year that Ricoh Taupo Motorsport Park have run this event. It will be on Saturday and Sunday, 10-11 of May this year. This has been a real fun and different event in past years, pulling in sizable crowds; great for racers and their sponsors! We look forward to the motards returning and bringing in the Hyosongs to get another class of bikes at the event.
The classes this year are the trucks, motards, Hyosung 250’s, sidecars ,drifters and some classic cars…a bit of a Fringe Festival! So here are some details in no particular order………
Friday 9, will be a practise day. This is not included in the price of the weekend, and if you want to book in for that, you will need to contact the track office on 07 376 5033.
At this point in time (28/2), we do not yet have a finalised track timetable. Last year, each class got six races and a practise/qualifying session. Saturday sessions will be on the 2.2 km track, with hopefully an option on the Sunday to run a session or two on the 3.5 km full circuit.
On the Saturday afternoon, the NZ Sidecar Association will be running their annual “Have a Go Day “, on the old Taupo Club circuit. This popular event is a great added extra to the weekend; $10 gets you three laps on a sidecar, just make sure that any friends and partners that come with you have a full set of safety gear as well.
Flag Marshalls. We can not run the event without flaggies who will only be on the circuit for the bikes, and be bought in again for the cars and trucks. To help get the flaggies we need, we are offering a free weekends racing to any competitor who can bring a person to flag marshall , wives, partners, friends etc, so long as they are over eighteen and available for Saturday and Sunday. First in, best dressed.
Ride Gear. The usual. Helmets (road or MX for motards), one piece leathers or two piece zip together ones, back protectors (not a piece of built in foam), leather gloves and boots (may be MX boots for the motards)
Pit Garages. These are in short supply, so only the first dozen Motard riders and first dozen Hyosung riders entered and paid will get one. Later entries will have to work out of the car park.Hopefully we may pick up another garage or two later, but this is not guaranteed and at the moment we have only been allocated two double garages.
Entry fees. These are $145 per class for the weekend. The only extra $’s that might need to be added on later are for transponder hire. Taupo Car Club are running the event timing, and we are currently trying to sort the price of the transponders out, please bear with us.
Entries. All correspondence to robjohnedwards@gmail.com , or call me on 0274 303 068. Payment via internet banking to account number 021 244000 7027 00 BNZ Albany, R and R Edwards Ltd. Please use May 10-11 and your name as the reference. Please send an email advising us of your payment, and scan and send the entry form with details of your bike, race numbers and sponsors etc.
Licenses. This is a private event, so no race license is necessary, however, all riders must be sixteen years or older.
Further details. Other items such as indemnities, event passes, timetables and rider briefings will be forwarded to you all as we get closer to the event".
