[WETTY]

So the north track disappeared for rnd 1 ?

[Leezx10r]

It does read like that wetty. As only one fee for the weekend not Saturday and Sunday.

Beauty!! I reckon it might have something to do with the large amount of crashes through the T4 to T9 section.....

That and maybe the poor numbers on the South circuit?

[Mstevo]

still only 5 x 5lap races over the weekend, looks like double duty again ;-) to get value for money

Mama Jan, who laughed at me a lot when i got my 21st series prize, said it was so there would actually be a full practice and a full qualifying session for the weekend.
A knock on effect from their meeting with ARDC post November.

No, just the Friday Steve. Couldn't get the Sunday off.

Got my final instructions today, in garage 20. Anyone else in there??

Hummm disappointing for the club :-(

[Krackeye]

I've been looking at the cost of club racing in Vic. Much cheaper than here. But why???
Hartwell for eg. Less than $300 for 2 days racing at Broadford

[Nelso]

Smallish entry list.... certainly not at garage capacity!

It's a week after the Island Classic and a week before PCRA, plus I think the clusterfuck of a last round might have scared a few people away. I would normally enter, but the lack of time to sort the ZX10 out after it opened the hole in the cam cover, combined with the lack of spare funds made it an inevitable decision to sit this one out.:hurt:

[Nelso]

MV own Broadford, so track hire is much cheaper. There is also the fact that Victoria has some competition between tracks to keep them from price gouging.

cept PI.. they still charge whatever they want

[Marshy]

cept PI.. they still charge whatever they want

Yeah, but it's still cheaper to hire than the Creek. Not heaps cheaper, but enough to notice (about 30% less, give or take).

The Creek is a licence to print money. Demand far outstrips supply, so ARDC price gouge. It's criminal..... it's a public (NSW State govt) owned facility, which shouldn't hold users to ransom. That's us taxpayers that own it.

But ARDC have consistently shown to be money-hungry, politically-motivated dickheads, that are happy to screw over everyone they can.

No mate; I've pulled the pin for tomorrow due to inclement weather. Actually, I will pop out and drop off an Arrow goodie to a certain TT member with some green bike, so I'll be there at some point. You?

[stevem]

Yeah i'm in .

[Marshy]

Packed the wets??

[stevem]

All packed, I've ordered a wet weather suit but it comes tomorrow some time.

[Phat3R]

Long range forecast is suggesting reasonable chance of this type of weather hangin around for a damp race weekend too ...

http://www.bom.gov.au/australia/charts/viewer/index.shtml

Well should be more comfortable for flagging ... anyone want a flaggy to mark off their supply a body list early in the season ... I will consider offers ... ;)

Doesn't NSW Gov license it to the ARDC to run? From recollection when the Gov ran it they lost money? Don't know what NSW Gov charge ARDC per year for the pleasure? You are right the few options available to Shitneysiders means ARDC charge more. How did MV get the cash to own Broady? What tracks does MNSW own ...?

[Marshy]

Don't know what NSW Gov charge ARDC per year for the pleasure?

99 year peppercorn lease, I think.

MNSW is working on owning a track at Nowra. At least they are doing something. MA had $10m of our money sitting in Scottish bank bonds or something equally unlikely, and you know how that turned out....

[senator8]

Have fun bastards. I mean that in the nicest possible way ;)

[Phat3R]

Seems the ARDC are as adept at losing money as the Gov ... maybe we are still paying off their cock ups financing V8 events ???

I think the weekend is one round so you need to volumunteer for both days for the same rider.....worth checking before you sell your arse to bubba ;)

Nah, one day for a rider is enuff to count.

It probably goes without saying, but I just sent my form in to ARDC for the practice day on Friday, and they confirmed that there are 15 registrations already, so us bikes are getting an allocated session on Friday.

[BoB]

Good luck to all that are racing at the weekend. I will be thinking of you and checking the times from snowbound England... brrr..

[Marshy]

Thanks mate! Top day today. The new surfacing is a bit so-so. I've just checked some data and it looks like I've lost in the first two sectors and gained back about the same in the last two sectors. There's no doubt T9 is faster, quite a bit faster, especially the exit, which makes 10-11 better too. T1 hasn't really changed (there's only a small patch late in the corner), and T4 is still just as bumpy, but without the seam in the middle of the track that always used to make the rear step out for me. So that's good, but overall I'm slower through there because it seems very slippery. Dirty, maybe?

RACING TOMORROW!!!!! :rockon: :rockon:

[chubb]

was really grippy in the rain on Thursday... your mind playing tricks on you?

[Marshy]

Maybe. We will see, because it's RACEDAY!!!!!

Soooooo, just checking in from Westmead, where I'm patiently waiting to see a doctor. Nothing serious - just my ankle is very sore, and I just want the ok that it's not broken, so i can ride tomorrow without worrying about doing heaps more damage.
Can't walk on it, but it only hurts when I put weight on it, so I suspect it's not too serious.

That's from my bicycle accident today, of course. ;)

All the best to everyone today , PB's all round. It was quite out there without one eye , are you alright Wetty.

Nick I was flagging at T3 both days and your bike looked really smooth through there. Some bikes, especially on the Sat, were not riding the bumps through T3 very well at all.

The flagging at T2 is quite tricky, the T2 guys missed two bikes that went down on the exit as they can't see it over the rise if the bike and rider are down. The T3 flaggy can see the blind spot but is suppose to be looking the other way, ie in race direction. From T3 I had to call rider down for both Marshy's off and the oil incident today. I ended up rubber necking the entire 180 degrees.

Speaking of oil incident, the bike that caused the mess had a belly pan with a rear lip that was no higher than 10mm ... there is no way it could hold enough oil.

Highlight of the weekend for me was watching Aiden Wagner ride, his flick rate from T2 to T3 is phenomenal, and it sounded / looked like we was the only rider that was adding gas from exit of T2 to end of T3.

[Binksy]

Had a cracking weekend beating my old pb by 4 seconds to get a 42.5 and get 4th outright in the last clubsport race by the narrowest of Margins and wrapped up c grade for my first personal trophy!

Must say everyone in 600s were great to race with. Didn't see or experience many dodgey passes. Had such a ball I'll be back for Bradford :)

Although the camera rule was kinda bs

They are supposed to be checking bellypans. It's not ideal, unfortunately.

Great riding today mate! You're giving some of the more established names a run for their money!

The camera fiasco hopefully won't last. The Steward was not the usual one, and the MA rules are simply daft. They should be fixed.

The rider that cut in front was the green / white bike that had a number that looked like an 11, but was apparently a 12?

We got asked by race control to look out for him in the restart, well they initially said 11. Then changed it to 12, and I couldn't see a 12? Then I noticed last night looking at Ray's photies that his front numbers look like the second digit is a very vertical 2. No way you can see it the a bike at speed. After the scrutineering fiasco over Spillies numbers last year I couldn't work out how they let it pass.

[Phat3R]

Anyone hear any update re old mate on the blue Triumph that came off at T1 today ... he didn't slow or put the bike down, just barreled into the tyre wall at speed.

That's Adrian Pierpoint, and it was him that chopped my nose off into T2, which unsettled me, and then I highsided. Have a look at him doing the same but worse into T9 especially in Bears race 1, which I will post shortly. He is a danger on the track. Anthony S had very stern words with him too, and others were complaining, but according to race control I was the only one that said anything officially, so they let it go as me having a grudge.

I had no drama wearing pink (real men can wear pink ;) ) but I told Saint George I thought It was a great idea IMO, and they had been getting feed back from all grades of riders that was on the same lines.
Only thing I would change is the design, pinning and taping it for riding at speed was not ideal, but still not a pain to live with.

Would have been better to give you all a practice start ... one row at a time Fastest (ie 1000, 600, 300) to Slowest

BTW see this 1090 from http://darrylbphotography.blogspot.com.au/

Have to agree with the pink practice. Practice starts would have been good. Didnt mind the idea of wearing a vest but they sure did excel with their colour choice.

Great weekend racing! Bike felt good... Managed another trophy!! Which is the only reason I raced.. 3rd place c grade in BEARs .. Second race meet.. And a new pb. 1.41.32.. Successful weekend all round

[Penko]

Great weekend and a very well run meeting.

Saturday could not of gone any better in 600 Clubsport. Sunday started off perfectly, but my clutch completely went in the second race off the start resulting in last place.

Thankfully heaps of people came to help me change it over, as I would never have done it in time.

Started last, but managed to get the win.

Thanks again to all the flaggies and officials.

That's because his rearset wasn't there when he went to put his foot back on it ;) Well, it was there but bent way out of the way, so his foot missed. Or maybe he really was kicking me for hitting him!! :pound: :rofl:

Apart from his bent rearset, his bike was fine.

Wow, that's not cool. Glad you came away with what you did, could have been much worse mate.
How is the foot from the push bike? ;)

Marshy your so right about Carl and the vest in some weird way it works quite well with his colours........ Must admit im glad I wear a dark tint visor when looking at his bike and him together ! haha you should see him when hes wearing his flouro sunnies and headphones hahaha

Had a great weekends racing, not bad for several months off the bike :) only downer was the steering damper failing on Sat practice.. made for interesting racing and sore arms..but a giggle was had :) got some good times in for me too

[Carl-52]

Yeh penko... decided to pass you over the finish line on the last lap after your clutch blew... sorry bud :P and yes for some reason the pink vest blends in well... 3rd place in clubsport D grade is pretty nice too.

Couple of interesting observations from my non racing attendance as radiator water scrutineer and flaggy.
# Plenty of bikes were short of water in radiator and some radiators I could not even with the 150mm pick up tube reach water
# Water ranged from clean like Marshy to never flushed brown soup - plus some green - and yes I see the irony in my task!
# Numbers. White background and black numbers easy to read while other combinations suck and triple digit numbers really suck
# Hard to read numbers and colour combinations caused problems on T4 during practice/qualifying to when to signal riders to exit T4
# Some riders hand signaled to exit T4 early practice & qualifying. Also in racing some back markers exited on Lap 4 - assume riders briefing still said this is a no no. Running up the rear of other bikes I'm sure if I could remember would be unpleasant.

Finally Helmet Cameras. Michael Schumacher if he could would advise against it I reckon. Helmets may not work as well if you whack a lump on it...

That's a question for those a bit more in the know. My track bike has obviously previously run standard water so there is significant oxide build up in the cooling system. Any way of cleaning it? I can flush it all day to rince as much out as possible but fill it with demineralised water and 2 days later it'll be back to reasonably brown coloured. There some kind of additive to use during just straight flushes to try and get more of it out?

It will be a bit late now for your cooling system but at least you can stop it deteriorating further , we always drain after racing and replace the plain distilled water with coolant. You just need to drain it again and flush several times replacing it with distilled before the next race meeting

And I would use a radiator flush first.

Great footage mate!
You were totally in the zone over the weekend,
Was awesome to watch!! :thumb:

[stevem]

Thanks to everyone for the kind words. I am spinning out that I am even out there , it is like a whole new life and am really enjoying the ride. Now to just get Bathurst up and running again.

Bathurst was fun but there is no way it will ever happen again , sorry

Great footage Marshy and congrats to all on last weekends results. Anyone know the reasoning behind not allowing camera's on bikes at EC last weekend. Doesn't make any sense as it's just as likely to fall off the rider as the bike and as others have said, is more dangerous should the rider hit their head.

That was a bloke in Clubsport I believe, I saw the belly pan, it had a 10mm lip at the back, enough to hold 100ml of oil if that! he apparently had a faulty oil filter
it started in pit exit to the exit of turn 2 as you saw.....so expect everyone to have to juggle their belly pan along with everything else up to scrutineering at future race meets

[WETTY]

Oh the old faulty oil filter
It musta fallen off . Fuk was a mess
On Baggrrs vid it was an inch deep

well he did fall off, hence the final squiggle, he was lucky it was at such a slow corner and it wasn't too hard to ride around for the rest of the day
Still very annoying the lack of rule knowledge and bike preparation :-(

[WETTY]

It was stated in supp refs belly pans were to be taken to scrutinisers on sat to be inspected
Did this not happen ?

HA!

That was a joke, right? Proper scrutineering? Never!! They were too busy checking for the important issues (coolant and cameras) to worry about a minor concern (oil).

I hate to say I told you so, but this is exactly what I was talking about pre-event. Total fixation on a non-issue (coolant) and no examination of the important stuff (oil).

So going along with the theme of D grade riders wearing the pink vest . Do you think that C grade riders wearing like a green vest and B grade another colour maybe yellow would be worthwhile ? So when your on the grid you can see how many in your grade is in front of you or if the bike your chasing is worth going all out to pass .? Also for the people spectating , they can work out how your going in your grade?
