Taupo endurance races

I'm guessing you'll need marshals? I won't be able to confirm until closer to the time but you could pencil me in for at least one of the days if not more

Prep = Disconnect brakelight, take off stand and mirrors - bingo!

Dude, that was the T.R.R.S. and things were lax so you could get track time. The endurance races will be more controlled, so gear must be up to the mark. Don't want an un-lockwired sump bolt ruining the day for all the rest do we..... stuff like that.......

BTW, those trophies would look good on my shelf.......... if I was a trophy hunter...............

Yeah, 3 days of racing means lots of marshalls. We do pay our marshalls at our event, and provide them free lunches and also the end of day BBQ and Beers/juice etc.
I will need lots of them obviously, so if you want a great job, in a great location, with great friends, watching awesome racing up close, and socialising with the best guys/gals around, and be paid to do it, then please PM me so I can tick that job off my ever growing list!!

Oh yeah, did i mention you'd have to actually work too.............? No such thing as a free lunch......

Where can I find the regulations to get my bike raceworthy?

Be my guest - in fact you can cruise behind me for the whole race if you like!

Haven't had any drunk or hungover racers yet. But if they're worn out from an extra 3 days of racing, then I'll be rapt!! (They are that soft are they cookie?)

This is being put out early, as we need to see how many entries we will have prior to our Nov. 1st cut off, so we know if we have a go/no-go situation.
More info will be provided, as we continue to establish the format for the day after more input from you racers.
It will be a Le-mans start race, and we will have nice trophies, and beer/bbq etc.

Cheques will not be banked until we have enough confirmed numbers.

Regards,
Scrivy

It's $120 per junior class bike. If you're doing it superman, it's $120. If you're sharing 1 bike with two riders, it's $120!! I want more riders to compete in this event, hence I'm keeping the costs as low as possible for you guys.

sweet im doing it with my brother so it should be good.
Now road race spectacular does that follow same rules in that SV650 pro twins can not enter f2? just wondering as if they are I will race in F2 and my brother can race in F3 for track time

Lots of riders jumping onto "mates" bikes they've never ridden before is gonna be fun. Hmm...two days racing prior to endurance race. Just after Wanganui. Methinks there will be lots of smashed bike and tired riders. Hope there's gonna be lots of cameras.
