    The ONLY problem with that theory is that the loos are a farking long way from the pits at Ruapuna Btrack, timing is everything
    and you blokes have a wee bit of an advantage if you get caught short

    I'm no expert!
    The best you can do to improve performance at the track is fitness. Top flight athletes do the hard yards away from performance days. On the lead up to race days (in the 3 days beforehand) some athletes carbo load (eat double the amount of normal carbs) and that helps to give the sustained energy throughout the day.
    As Joni said earlier though, Good food is simple long lasting carbs throughout the day with plenty of fluids. Electrolyte replacing drinks are good in high heat environment or where a lot of fluids are lost (such as pissing yourself laughing!!)
    It'd be a good idea to have a chat to a good sports nutritionist to get an accurate idea - these guys and gals really know their stuff

    All the prior posts are full of sound advice but i would mention that no two races (people) are the same and metabolism is a very fickle thing. I have a very fast burn off of anything i eat (yes im a very skinny prick) and i would need alot more of an intense diet to a person with a slower metabolism for a sport diet. Im 6ft 2 in and only 10 stone (whatever that is in KGs ) My 400 goes well lol.
    Bananas are great but so can eggs be and rice is always a goodie.
    Lots of water is a must to stay focused but like all diet trainers and fitness trainers will say "everything in the food cupboard is ok in moderation" .

    Yep. And a nutritionist will help you measure what YOU need and what type of metabolism YOU have. Expert advice is usually best given by knowledgeable people (or at least those with more experience than me - see above)

    Nothing worse than a case of the killer dumps...


    my race diet would include a slightly 2nd hand hangover followed by coffee, sugar, V * 6 , maybe a pie, more coffee, Benson & hedges if its a good day otherwise rollies, some flavoured water if i start to get a headache mid afternoon followed by beers...

    recognising this won't make me faster or Jimmy for that matter.. tou may want to take shauns advise

    I reckon the low GI stuff is the way to go, giving you good sustained energy rather than peaks and troughs through out the day.
    Now for the message no one wants to hear. Realistically speaking watching your diet between meetings is probably going to be of more benefit than what you eat on the day. I know many racers who would spend a fortune on lightweight bike parts to lose 5kg's off the machine when they are 10+kg's overweight themselves.

    You should try hanging out with cyclists. They'll spend the same fortune to lose 500 grams when they're 10kg overweight.

    Still, weight off a wheelset is an order of magnitude more important than rider weight.

    Yes, I just keep telling myself that.

    Good - I met a dude the other day... $13,000 worth of bicycle (by his own admission) and carrying an extra 25kgs (at least).. I have to admit "WTF" was one of the first thoughts I had... and it really didn't move for the whole 20 min conversation we had (about motorcycles... he didn't want to spend too much on one - I told him he could get a new SV for the price of his pushbike...!)
    $2,000 cash if you find a buyer for my house, kumeuhouseforsale@straightshooters.co.nz for details

    In the interst of bringing the riding levels closer together, Give the fast racers Hotdogs, Pies & Full sugar Coke, Give the slower racers Dry Crackers, Celery, & Water (+ a weight watchers book).

    I also saw that rolls with ham, salad stuff, cheese etc was quite popular that another lady brought, and I thought that was quite a good idea, as everyone can make what they like and its healthy.

    Lollies or anything with a high sugar content will cause sugar peaks and lows which is not great when you are moving over 200km an hour.

    :spudwhat:
    Kick looks like he could eat more pies....
    Give them as many lollies as they can eat - they don't go over 200 kms anyway, so it won't matter!!

    I on the other hand eat a 1 kg bag of party mix lollies before racing. Mr Bob eats whoever he can find in his van........ oops, WHATEVER he finds in his van........
    Is it still beastiality if ya fuck a frozen chicken??

    I have memories of you lovely daughter running around, batting her eyelids at Divvo for her share of his lollies! Such a cutie

    As for your "nutritional" advice ahem... well yes!

    When she's older, I'll make sure that she doesn't follow Divvo around, 'cause his 'Lollies' are all too easy to get if you're of the legal age.....

    Always on fire ya reckon???

    Do you mean a can of Harden the f@ck up??

    Kick and Divvo could eat a whole case load of the stuff, but they still couldn't cut the mustard!!! They'd still be soft as cream puffs!! Divvo just needs to turn up the heat!! Poor Kick, I think he desperately dreams of riding the long thing. (And riding the chair also!)
    I on the other hand have a short one and am proud of where I can stick it!!
