    So not the flying?
    Am I confusing you? Cause I'm confusing myself.
    Yep the standing 1/4, we don't need that huge run up of the flying eh!

    Maybe you guys could sponsor the event?
    Some things are worth dying for, living is one of them.

    What say ye?
    Fark yeah I'd be in...I'd be well down the list but I'd be in!

    Shit. It's gonna be raining buckets. I'm afraid that I have to sit this one out as I still don't have the required gearing for the 400 (or time and finances). Go hard the mighty 400s. I hear that cunning roadracingoldfart bastard has a plan for 400 domination.

    If i can arrange it sir , i will not only take your $25.00 but i will stamp a record for the future tryhards to beat.
    I have calculated a top speed of 225 if i have enough run up to use all the gearing i have available. (and a small tail wind lol )
    Even with less than perfect conditions i will be able to go more than 200 k without worry. With my race gearing i calculated a top end of 175 k on Taupos back straight and thats just over 800 metres long so with a good run up and my higher gear ratio i have fun in mind lol.
    What is the runup distance to 1/4 start mark for the flying ?????

    Ah right the CANBRACE, now My brain works.

    2.2 kay for the whole course I think, would be well over 1km runup.
