St George round 1 & 2 Eastern Creek 1st and 2nd Feb 2014

[BoB]

ok so its just over a month to go which will be here in no time at all , so whos in ?

I enjoyed the north circuit on the sat in Nov to get some practice race starts and settle the nerves a bit so i will be doing the sat north circuit and sun it says full circiut (not sure if it is the gp or full?)

Entering in the 600 and the 600 clubsport .

[CLIFFY]

Entering in the 600 and the 600 clubsport .

Ditto

[chubb]

600s and club sport 600s

[Mstevo]

And it starts again!
I hope it's the GP circuit as the long circuit takes up too much time getting people on and off as well as the race, which could mean combined classes, fewer laps or cancelled races and needs 8 extra flagies which are a scarce as hens teeth to run that section.....The club won't do it.

Planning on doing unlimited and Unlimited Club sports...which means getting lean and mean.....over Christmas....I don't think so!

[Stu23]

If i get my engine sorted in time and dyno'd and then get a TD in to check all is good, Ill be there in 600 clubby and 600's

[Saturnalian]

Wow Bob. We've finally found someone whip enjoys the Nth Circuit.
Fuk it, i'm in. Now if i can just find a 2008 R6 that someone hasn't quite paid for yet ??!!!!

Hmmmm..

[Mr.Ed]

I'm guessing it already has about 12423436 slayer sticker by now

[chubb]

plus some silly chinese symbols

[CLIFFY]

He must be waiting to offload the R1
Go get it

[dan]

In for clubby and 600.

Loved north circuit. Looking forward to doing it again.

[Marty]

I plan to enter clubby 600 and 600cc this time.

+1 for the north circuit, I don't mind it at all

[Nelso]

I'm in for Unlimited Clubsport and Leanne will be in 600 Clubsport.

[dadat178]

I should be there if I get my finger out in unlimited retro, and possibly a mystery entry in unlimited v twins.

[Marshy]

and possibly a mystery entry in unlimited v twins.

I love this time of year, where new bikes get rolled out and everyone is guessing who bought what for the new year....!

[Stu23]

or who manages to get there blown / damaged bikes back into 1 piece in time :)

[chubb]

Watch out marshy.

[Mr.Ed]

This season seemed to have claimed more than the usual amount of scalps, especially considering I didn't ride! ahahahaha

[Little Mick]

not sure what the past has brought, but I was talking to an A grader who had an incident in T12 last time outin St george....his comments was to budget for 3-5 crashes per year in your kitty... As far as injuries, well thats just luck in most cases...

[Marshy]

I've always said my usual expectation is 2 crashes per year, although I don't always have that many. But it's hard to budget for - sometimes they cost very, very little, but other times they are quite exxy. But the total cost is usually limited to a maximum of the cost of the bike plus all your gear. That's not accounting for opportunity cost or lost work time etc.

[mercho]

Ill be in for 600's as long as the ankle is ok by then.. Looking forward to next years racing!

[dan]

Another ankle haha fuck

[JC]

We will be there.
Unlimited ClubSport and Unlimited if I am fit :ohwell:

[Negrogrande]

600's if I can't sell the zook 600's & clubsport if I can offload

[Marshy]

Another ankle haha fuck

AHAHAHA! Join the club, Mercho!! :peace:

[Marshy]

600's if I can't sell the zook 600's & clubsport if I can offload

Now that it's so pretty, it should sell easily! :thumb:

[mercho]

AHAHAHA! Join the club, Mercho!! :peace:

Yep, its a PITA! Those friggin space boots are annoying lol ;)

[dan]

I'm off crutches now and just walking in the boot. Every morning is a struggle though as I can feel the pain from the previous day. An endone when I wake up sorts that out in 30mins or so.

[Marshy]

An endone when I wake up sorts that out in 30mins or so.

Yeah they work very well! The only problem is that I'm starting to really enjoy them, which I'm sure is baaaaaad......

Price increase!!!

Make things cheaper not more expensive please

[dan]

Could have been a bit nicer with the dates for 600 retro. Why 96?

[dan]

Jan 83 till dec 96 600cc / 750 twins. What bikes are they actually trying to get in that category?

[Phat3R]

Could have been a bit nicer with the dates for 600 retro. Why 96?

Wonder if my K1 will make the class before your K3, when they finally extend it into the FI models? I think they are essentially same bike, K1-K3 should be a common block ... but the date ranges are not the same across manufacturers, so wonder how they draw a straight line? :)

Was the Suzuki K1 the first FI model of any manufacturer ... I could be on a winner, winner ... chicken dinner :)

[dan]

I thought they were going to be making it a separate carbied category which I think, prima facie, makes more sense. I'll reserve judgement till I get more info though.

I'm just not entirely sure what bike models they are chasing for this. In terms of 600s there isn't anything till the early 90s with the cbr600s and zx6 kwakas. No suzies, I don't even know if the yzf thundercat was available pre-97 (stand to be corrected on all of the above).

Is it just a ploy to get some of the PCRA boys on pre-modern 600s to come over? If so I don't see the point and I'm extremely disappointed. Those bikes are already catered for and again those turn of the century 600s are left behind.

Your implication is that there is some greater plan haha

Seems like these 600s categories in StG are all compliance plate racing rather than models so you probably would end up ahead!

[dan]

Ps. Did anyone see the event numbers?

600s, then 600 Clubsport, then 600 Retros bang after each other. Really? Not great news for people running in 600s & clubsport (ie, 75% of the people here).

What the fark!!? I just had a look. I was going to dual enter next year but not even going to consider it now.

I hope it's just a clerical mistake by them, it's not just us, you can race a Daytona 675 in bears and 600cc, all the thousands are grouped. It's like they rearranged it for neatness on the guide rather than practicality. I hope it's a mistake. It kinda sucks entering one class, u pay $500 and end up going out on track 4 times a day.

[mercho]

Its just the event numbers, not the actual program, I highly doubt the format will end up like that. Have a look at the way Novembers one this year was run, will be similar to that :)

I think your right, i can't see them running it that way

[dan]

Yayyyyyy

[dan]

Back to complaining about Retro 600 then haha

[dan]

Yeah they work very well! The only problem is that I'm starting to really enjoy them, which I'm sure is baaaaaad......

I just called my doctor for a script top up haha

This. The actual schedule is designed close to the event, to cater for as many cross-entries as possible. It will be the same or very similar to this year. Cross enter away!! I am.

[Marty]

Cross enter away!! I am.

I'm not mentally/physically fit enough to do back to back races just yet, but cross entering providing that's a gap of at least 1 race between outings will be fine I reckon. I only entered clubby for the 3 rounds last year just to test the waters and didn't over commit. Now I know how it all works I've seen how it goes so I'm definitely gonna cross enter.

[Marshy]

Pity the price for cross entries has increased so much :hurt:

But it's still the cheapest track time you can buy!! :thumb:

[dan]

So who has the inside scoop on this Retro 600 vibe?

[Rusty]

Sent our Entry Forms in last night. :cheer:

[chubb]

already??? damn you people and your ability to not work weekends!
