FXRRC Rnd 2 - May 23

[dan]

Who is coming down for this?

I'll likely do the practice day on the Friday as well try out my new gearing (if I get around to putting it in haha).

I'll be racing 600 retro and 600s - though if they are the same race I'll do retro and RYM if possible.

For anyone looking to transition from track day to racing this event is highly recommended. Very chill, great crew, good vibe. Race Your Mates gives you plenty of opportunity to practice your starts as well so definitely consider it. The more the merrier!

I'm very keen to get down for some racing and more start practice.
Jury is out until I find out if my shoulder needs to go back in for surgery, as it's not healing as expected... :pray:

[Marshy]

I'm absolutely in for this! The first one was the bestest day on track for a long time.

I didn't realise there was a practice day. I'm in for that too. W00T!!!!

[Mr.Ed]

If I can do RYM + 600 I'll probably be in... need to sort out a few things first though

[Binksy]

Doing the race day in 600's. Much happier with my set up after playing around with the suspension on the 24th.

Still desperately need more race start practice :(

[Helmet]

You guys are killing me with all these planned days on track. That being said, wouldn't mind trying out Race Your Mates. Could be fun.

[simonr]

I'm in for Race your mates, will be my first race on tarmac

Filter at traffic lights, then practice when they go green ;-)

For sure give it a go!!! You'll do very well in whatever class it is that your thing is in ;) Rob did pretty well on his SV, and you're quicker than he is.

Wooohoooo!!! Good stuff :thumb:

Great!!! It's the best place to break your tarmac cherry, as it were.

+1. Chubb and I both started out here and had a ball. Race start practices are worth the entry fee

[Helmet]

Yeah, I'm keen to do it, just need to sort my license again and I'll book. I just don't want to be out spinning laps by myself. No as much fun in that. I'm also looking forward to the race starts too!

[Little Mick]

There will be others. Always are

Can't you do RYM on a normal licence? Plus a Wakefield licence of course. Or AASA is fine, if that's what you have.

[Helmet]

My AASA will have expired by then. I'll either renew that or go MA if I have enough time.

[Mr.Ed]

My AASA will have expired by then. I'll either renew that or go MA if I have enough time.

Go MA if you do ARDC/track days

[Helmet]

Yeah, that's the plan, just need to sort it, hopefully they'll process it in time.

Yet more information you have for me, cheers Marshy.

[Marshy]

$10 for instant service is a small price to pay, imho. Remember waiting 4 weeks to receive your licence in the mail? Remember (and this was only a couple of years ago), where it said on the form itself that if you rang the office to enquire on the progress of your licence renewal (eg because it'd been several weeks already and you had a race meet coming up) that THEY WOULD MOVE YOUR FORM TO THE BOTTOM OF THE PILE?!?!?!??!

I remember hour-long drives out to MNSW, standing in line for ages, then finally picking up the licence they should've processed weeks earlier, so as not to miss a race meet.

It's the Teens, Stevo. Try to keep up ;)

[Marshy]

I'm in for this... Cross entering fxc&d and pro twins!.. Does anyone kno the go with the categories? Does the superbike race have abcd combined?

Yeah they combined Superbikes at round 1 because there were 25 C&D and, like, 5 A&B. Still scored them separately, but all in together. ProTwins was separate to Superbikes, so we can still cross-enter ;)

[Mstevo]

It's the Teens, Stevo. Try to keep up ;)

sounds like MNSW need to understand it's 2015, and also understand you shouldn't penalise your customers for paying you money :-)

[Marshy]

Until the banks sort their shit out and implement free instant bank transfers/direct debits (like they did a few years ago in the UK), then there will always be a penalty for instant payments. It's not MNSW to blame for credit card fees. Without instant payments - and therefore instant finalisation of the whole transaction without human intervention - you might as well just mail in your form and cheque like days of yore.

[zooker]

I'm thinking about entering Retro 600 and/or RYM this time. Gotta start getting the bike prepped if doing retro though.

[Button699]

$10 is better than the $50 I pay'd them last year to get my card sent to me within three days.. Lol I guess money talks for mnsw!

[Button699]

Hey .. Does anyone kno riding numbers allowed for this? Is three digit numbers ok? I think in fx it's only 2 numbers allowed?? Not sure..

Marshy- do u know if the 699 on my bike at the moment is all good for it???

Fark knows mate, sorry. I don't do enough FX to know. I'd be surprised if it wasn't ok, as it's a laid-back club round, and not that many people. Besides, his 300 class all have 3 digit race numbers, so it's not a technical limitation.

You should be fine mate :thumb:

[Mr.Ed]

I think it's a 2 number affair only... I remember seeing something about that on the AASA form.

[Little Mick]

Fx asc is 2 number. Fxrrc is ok with 3 numbers as long as you don't have a 3 series number

[Krackeye]

I've had 153 in FXRRC

[Button699]

Cool .. I'll try the 699.. Cheers

you can email or ring Gloria. She is extremely helpful and will get you sorted

Helmet ... I'm with you big time on this - spent the weekend a Morgan Park being HP smashed - came from behind in 4 race (5 starts) to lead my competition in the F5 championship until the straight showed up ... ended up 1 first (by <.2sec) and 3 seconds (1 by < .2 sec) - bloody engine bits in the bike that was beating me were worth more than my bike (+ 200cc extra)

The Fat Bloke on a 696 monster ... yes 2 valves per cylinder air cooled

Yeah, it's a right royal pain. But good experience chasing everyone down in the twisty bits! Sounds like you had a good weekend though!

No, the straight was ok but between turns 1 and 10 you were a bit slow. Maybe the intermediate group next time? 😀

Hopefully you all suck at starts like myself so i wont have to fight through :D and i always thought 250 singles went really really well in the corners??? i must be missing something

[dan]

Finally got around to entering 600 retro and 600 or RYM for me. If it's run the same as last time could be back to back retro and 600.

I was going to do the Friday but think I might skip it and do EC instead then drive down after the ute is packed. For me, can't see much point in doing a slightly-above-freezing-and-raining track day before the race if conditions aren't going to be the same the day after.

Oh well, better to spend the time finding a solution rather than dodging up a not-quite-fixed and potentially leave drips of oil round the track. Was a shame as after I changed my pressures the bike was on song. New plugs, power commander, appropriate gearing should be fun tomorrow. I reckon I might be close to the high 90s in horsepower now!

I'll post up a few vids tomorrow. Rear camera was pretty shakey so will have to sort that out for next time.

Dan, Brian and Marshy all had a crash. Dan is fine, picked up his bike and crossed the line for the points!
I understand Brian hurt his head pretty bad and went to hospital for observation.
Marshy's just out of X-Ray after his off. Fractured Tib and Fib with surgery on Monday.

His was a low side at the last corner, apparently he's ok.

The sv650 was a strange and bad one. It was on the slow down lap and he went straight on at turn 3. The bike cartwheeled and rider didn't move for a long time. We were well back and he was still lying motionless. Took the ambos a long time to get out, don't think they were expecting anything like that on the slowdown lap.

Hope everyone's ok

Couldn't get my Gopro to stay on so I'm afraid no videos from me this time either. Not that you'd br missing much...

[Marty]

I was there to hang out, it was a pretty relaxed day but a couple of nasty accidents, I left before marshys one but saw my mate Brian lying out cold at t3 [emoji16]

I hope you guys heal up quick

[Stu23]

What a fun day that was :) Thanks everyone out there, top day. Even though it was a bit chilly there was good grip.. Carl is getting faster and faster, now has a new pb of a flat 1.06 or a 1.05.9 depending if you look at timing or speedangle ;) Faark he is nearly on me hehehe ill soon be seeing a lot more of that Flouro I reckon. Thoughts to those that crashed and Heal up fast

p.s. I will be taking the Ape's around to Dougo GP circuit and see how they go ;) whilst i have them at least hahah

[Turbo]

Brian is on his way home now, with his family, after being released. Still a bit of a headache, twisted ankle and painful fingers but on his way to a mend.
Marshy is waiting on a second set of X-rays to see if he's broken his shin.
Still aiming for surgery tomorrow, plenty of Endone in the meantime!! :thumb:

[Little Mick]

Thanks for the update Owen. Hopefully they get to post up here u no time. Someone get marshy his laptop

[Marshy]

Thanks all for the kind thoughts. The track had plenty of grip during the day, as the temp was quite warm, with no wind. But for the last race, the temp dropped pretty quickly.

The front folded under very heavy braking, virtually dead upright. Been doing it all day just fine, but in that last race of the day, the track had cooled right off. One sec upright, next sec eating pavement. I think the bike is what broke my leg/ankle.

I'm not 100% sure of what is actually damaged atm, but clearly there are a few breaks in there. Surgery tomorrow. Hope to find out more when the Dr is in tomorrow.

Glad your on the road to recovery marshy, your in the right place.
Bike looks fine, a wash and some tape, good as new :)
If you need a hand, you got my number.

[Helmet]

It was a great day for racing! Apparently a good day for a face full of dirt too haha
I'm doing alright, Marshy copped the worse injury for sure!
And my SV is in a very sad state haha. I'll post pics tomorrow when I take some in good light.

Hey Marshy....there is a very nice RSV4 and a baby Ducati on eBay. They are setup, ready to go and by pure coincidence they are located in the same suburb as you. Give the guy a call, you might be able to talk him down.

Thanks man. The bike is fixable from the brief look I've had at it. Once I have a good look at it I'll know more. And depends how much money I want to throw at it too.

[Stu23]

And we have a new lap record set at the Douglas Park GP circuit ;) Man those APE's sure do pull hard compared to my ickle R6 !!!! Hehehehehehe

Saw your riding gear at WP yesterday when we went to pick up my bike/car. Only had a glance but it seems itcame out a lot better than you did...

[dan]

Pretty frustrating couple of days down at WP for me. Spent Friday fixing the leak, Saturday had a low side at t2 that put me off for the rest of the day. Was annoying as I was banging out low 7s before and getting warmed up.

Geoff was farking flying though so don't know if I would have even been able to keep up. Well deserved taking out the class. Hopefully I'll be more up for the battle at Rnd 3!

Got video of my crash and rejoin will post up when I'm on my computer.

[Little Mick]

I was coming around behind you and saw you on the side. I came round again expecting a yellow but pleased to see you were gone. I looked around but you were no to be seen on the outfield. Bummer re the off but great you got back out.

Geoff was absolutely flying. Was riding really well all day

Thanks Bretto! Hopefully tomorrow, but don't know for sure yet.

Hey Little Mick, if I'm not out tomorrow, I'll take you up on that :)

Glad that my apes now hold new lap records at your place, Stu! I thought your offer to take home my stuff sounded a bit too good to be true...... ;)

Happier times a bit earlier in the afternoon:

I had a pretty average day, was pretty off colour with a case of man flu but got my shit together eventually :).

Got all the 600 races up with a few long sections of footage some TT members Dan in race 1, Carl in race 4 and a few cameo appearances from Cameron with his starts.

Thanks mate ended the day about .3 off my Natsoft PB which considering how I felt I was pretty pumped with. Was great fun tusseling with some different people but found my thinking slightly slowed with not being 100% so didn't take all the opportunities presented too me. But wow has the grid got faster since last year!

[Mr.Ed]

You know you had a bad start when I make an appearance... hahaha apex of T8 on race 1, not even once!!!

Thanks for the footage even though my ego is not that pleased.

[Stu23]

Agreed , its pretty quick now out there

Fuck my riding is terrible.

Yes binksy, you clearly need some expert race start coaching. Here are my vids in decreasing order of interest (as there was a fair bit of time with me just lapping by myself :frown: ).

Hey guys, I had a good weekend, didn't crash (phew) ... although I was riding like a noob all day.

Bike felt great with all new suspension internal upgrades (apart from the shock) and Rob, Nicks mate, fine tuned it and felt better.

Nick, thanks again for the susp job

Hadn't been on the bike since Nov last year, and it felt like a different bike. 2 secs slower than last year :'( 1:08 was the fastest I went in the last race. First race I only did 1:12's lol pathetic
got vids of all races but not worth puttin up

We all have to work our way back to where we were cam. Post vids up anyway as others can see themselves and gather feedback as well
