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...

[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]

[johnnyb]

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

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

[Krackeye]

Might have to take a Ruben Wiki.
Been a year since I raced so keen.

[Helmet]

Marshy, have you ever been told you are an enabler?!

[Little Mick]

Retro for me

[Marshy]

Marshy, have you ever been told you are an enabler?!

It comes from being an addict....

[chubb]

Still more fun than white powder

[Helmet]

Haha, damn it Marshy! Killing me! And my bank balance.

[Leezx10r]

I am in also!

Didn't know about the Friday practise, that is a maybe (bloody work!)

[dan]

Going to be so good. Might also try to paint my tank before this and take out 'best presented bike'

I didn't know you recognised that as a category?

[dan]

I'll take a trophy for anything.

Who's in for race your mates??

[dan]

If 600s and retro are run together I will be.

Hopefully there'll be a few people doing it, I don't want to be out on my own.

[dan]

You're always on your own when you race

Just go out and do it. It will be the best thing you would have done for yourself.

+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]

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.

[Marshy]

Do it all online, and get an instant temporary licence...

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?

[Mstevo]

Yet more information you have for me, cheers 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]

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

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

[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
