2014 St George Wakefield 4 hour

**chubb** · 10-03-2014, 09:43 PM

I thought I would start a thread on what people are doing for the 4 hour in 6 months time. This can be for teams formed up or people looking for a team. Just so everyone can start thinking of organising stuff and no last minute rush.

Here is the list of classes

I'm looking for a team so I'll start

Rider --------- Grade --------- Bike type --------- Category ---------- preferred team size

Chubb ------ C grade --------- 600cc ------------- Class 4 or 5 -------- up to 4
Linden ------ C Grade --------- 696 Monster ------ Class 6 ------------- 9 or more
Metal-Man -- D Grade --------- 600cc ------------- Class 5 or 8 -------- any
shippy------- D grade---------- 600cc ---------- class don't care--------- 2 to 3 riders
Jowie ------- D grade ------ unlimited or 600cc----Class, don't care------up to 4 riders
Mstevo ------ B Grade ------- 1000cc ------------- Class 1,2 or 3 --------
Tristan ------ D Grade --------- 750cc ------------

**Mstevo** · 11-03-2014, 07:32 AM

**shippy__** · 11-03-2014, 09:51 AM

**dan** · 11-03-2014, 05:56 PM

I've been training at the gym 6 times a week!

Trying to get fitness up as much as possible

**CLIFFY** · 07-05-2014, 10:31 PM

Dunno yet.........maybe

**Phat3R** · 07-05-2014, 11:45 PM

Do you guys use different compounds for these longer races over say the standard St George length races at SMSP?

Just use the typical race tyre you normally use Rick. As a team of 3 you are doing about 60 to 70 laps each. About a track day worth... If it was all using the same bike that would be a different story...

Go team! The only part of our secret squirrel strategy we can release is that we plan for nothing to go wrong.

**shippy__** · 14-07-2014, 07:03 PM

So will you be on a r6 marty?

JC · 14-07-2014, 07:11 PM

Albie Wheeler is looking for a team

It looks like it. Oh shit, that's the first thing to go wrong!

**Saturnalian** · 15-07-2014, 04:36 PM

Secret squirrel is right. There are so many teams already formed this year but no one spilling..... I blame the 6 mth gap in the calendar.

Well, here we are......

Saturnalian R6 C grade
Mazabuzz ZX6 C grade
Jake Kell CBR600 D grade

With BoB handing out the Kit Kat's and neck massages and hopefully some discipline

4hr....When is it on??

**Saturnalian** · 23-07-2014, 09:14 PM

Hey there,

Speaking with Jan via email today and she said she has a couple of riders who are looking for team mates if anyone's still wants to get in and have a crack.

There are 2 x D grade 600 riders who would like to team up with someone and 2 x C Grade 750 riders who may be looking for a replacement.

Dan, Bretto, do you know something about this second one ?

If you want to fill one of those gaps or get into a team send Jan an email and she'll forward you the contacts.

That is all....

**Marshy** · 26-07-2014, 01:14 PM

So, very belatedly, I changed my mind and fired off an entry to Jan late yesterday afternoon. Bless her cotton socks, I only got a medium-level rollicking, and whilst I have to give her flowers and chocolates, I think that I can get away with only 2 large bunches of flowers and, say, 2kg of Swiss chocolate.

She rightly pointed out that I'd completely stuffed the schedule, the mailouts that were already sealed in envelopes, and everything else she has slaved away at for the last several months.

So if she's grumpy on the day, it's all my fault. Please feel free to smack me upside the head, or at least give me a hard time for causing so much trouble!

The upside is that I'll see you all there!!!

**Little Mick** · 26-07-2014, 01:51 PM

Great stuff marshy.

**Carl-52** · 26-07-2014, 01:59 PM

A Jan medium level rollocking......... still wouldnt have liked that !!! ( stu23 here ) ouch.. better make it up with choccies

**shippy__** · 26-07-2014, 02:26 PM

Unreal

**johnnyb** · 26-07-2014, 05:47 PM

So marshy....you think it will be a big ask if I ring Jan on Monday to try and get onto Saturdays grid? Might be cheaper if we buy flowers/chocolates in bulk.

Ha!! She might've calmed down a bit once all the paperwork is actually sent out.

TBH, I don't think adding someone to the sprint races is a big deal. It's changing 4-hour classes, race numbers, etc etc that really hurt. You should be fine, John.

Besides, I always just email her! That way she: 1. can look at it whenever she's free, and 2. can't yell at me!!!

**chubb** · 26-07-2014, 05:55 PM

I hear cadburys won't cut it

Even in less desperate circumstances, I've never dropped below Lindt. There have been some hand-made cake-shop ones too, over the years.

**johnnyb** · 26-07-2014, 09:52 PM

So.....email not phone to avoid ear bashing, fancy chocolates to get application accepted, flowers to smooth things over.........got it. If you see me Saturday the plan has worked.

Yep, that's about it! Hope to see you there!!

**shippy__** · 26-07-2014, 10:38 PM

peppermint creams smoothed things rite over in Feb..... lol massive smile on her face when i pulled em out

**Mr.Ed** · 27-07-2014, 01:30 PM

With the amount of ppl she has worked her miracles for over the years I'm amazed she's not a diabetic yet

**Saturnalian** · 27-07-2014, 04:51 PM

Weekend info has been posted on the SGMCC site

**chubb** · 27-07-2014, 05:25 PM

cheers mang!

**Mstevo** · 27-07-2014, 08:07 PM

only 18 teams? that's not good :-(...at least the circuit breakers won't be tripping
and the Juniors are back doing a 1hr race :-), but they aren't on the Sunday program?
