Wairarapa Sprints and Gladstone Hillclimb

[sugilite:Me]

Sprint proposed for 24 Sept.

Hmm, day after round 5 of the actrix. I may come along to practise my starts on the ZX10R. No poos, I will not bring my 750, I may fall asleep 1/2 way down the strip.

Now, PLEASE tell me the hill climb is not on the Weekends of March 3rd/4th, Manfield round of nats or 10th/11th Pukeboringkohe round of the nats?

Dafe, does your bike weave at high speed?

It starts getting quite shakey through the handlebars after 270.
That is with mirrors attached too. I don't know how much difference it will make removing them.

Thats just plain wrong Dafe, it should not be weaving full stop. The mirrors will not make a diff in my opinion.
Please check your rear wheel alignment, do not rely on marks on swing arm though....

[Sparky Bills]

Sweet!
Sounds like these events may just have a hope.
Am looking forward to them both!

Will do, Only problem is where to test it once thats done???

On the exit of Stokes Valley Rd like every other hi-po vehicle in the Wgtn region.

Westlake road after the via duct bridge, 2km straight protected with riverbank only one farm road turn off. If you find it out of alignment, theres your prob. Only other thing I can think of is square rear tyre, and I'm sure you do not suffer that prob....

I like the sound of having the Red Bull girls there!
But hope they dont get offended when i tell them i dont drink RedBull or any other shite like that
Ive managed to get some Pirelli goodies and other spot prizes.
Will be in touch tommorrow Dean!
This is looking good! Im getting excited.

Bring on the flying 1/4!!
I dont know how my clutch will feel after a few standing starts. It didnt feel too flash after the 2Hot2Handle show. Will see how we go.

I've managed to briefly get my PC up and running. First time on KB for months!

Excellent stuff guys. It's great some of you are putting your money where your mouth is and helping out - these events will only happen if volunteers make them happen - thanks a lot.

I am happy to be the MC for the Sept sprints, but can't do the November ones.

[Deano]

A lunch time silly buggers session might have been a worthwhile suggestion if they want to encourage the locals to come watch.

That is being considered....just for you 'silly buggers' MD !!

Sweet, and congratulations mate.

Possibly will be the last week in Feb - definitely looking at other events to see it won't clash. It may coincide with the Martinborough Fair or cycle race, so everyone will have to leave early to avoid traffic, or if travelling by bike, keep it fairly sensible getting through the traffic.

[sugilite:Me]

The Martinborough fair is held on the first Saturday of Feb and then march....

How about wheel balancing ?

Could that cause it ?

[sugilite:Me]

nup, that causes up and down type vibration at worst, not "weaving"

They would like to have names and details of persons willing to marshall and timekeep.
