Oh, and Linden, I see again that the OCD force is strong in you.....

[Carl-52]

id like to do them in clockwise
t1 would be maaaaaaaaaaad and a climb up to t8 and then dropping off would be sweet.
t3 and t2 would be a killer tho

[Linden]

t3 and t2 would be a killer tho

Wouldn't fancy hitting the ripple strips from the other direction either.

[chubb]

Lol at how exxy it is for entry

[zoidberg]

Well, I just entered. I am still waiting on my MA license to come through, but form is in and money is paid. I've entered unlimited clubsport on the R1.

Couple of questions regarding numbers, I picked a 3 digit number comprising my nieces b'days, 27th and 2nd, so I got 272, well asked for it? What are the rules regarding number boards and colours for numbers? Do I simply order them from St George? Is plain white contact or something enough on the front and ducktail to put the numbers on?

Jebus, I have no idea...

Go easy on me!

You can get race numbers from many bike shops. For an R1 you will need White numbers on red background. Front and rear. But wait till your number is confirmed just in case it's reserved by someone else ( pretty unlikely).

[zoidberg]

Thanks for your help! I'm assuming the numbers are all fairly standardised for size and font?

[dadat178]

14. RIDING NUMBERS
14.1 Final riding numbers will be notified with final instructions. Numbers are available for sale from the Race Secretary if required.
14.2 Competitors will be allocated their riding number as per the requirements of St. George MCC or their preferred riding number,
if entry is received by the early bird discount date.
14.3 All machines numbers and plates must comply with the MoMS.
Front numbers to be positioned centre (if possible) or towards the riders left of the number plate for the North and GP Circuits and riders right for the South circuit.

[dadat178]

and see MOMs 13.11. http://moms.org.au/wp-content/upload...5_MOMS-WEB.pdf

But I wouldn't worry too much about the font.

[zoidberg]

Ah, I knew I had read it somewhere, thanks mate. Appreciate your help! I swear I must have looked at that page and it didn't sink in...

[Krackeye]

They have numbers for sale on the day at sign on. $1 each from memory.

Look, it was right under my nose, therefore invisible.

[KANGA]

I'm planning on doing 600 at this point. Just gotta check my coinage in a week or two from now.

[Leezx10r]

[Turbo]

Agree

[Linden]

Just work out I'm actually racing for serious money in Bears F5 I'm leading by 1pt (I own the twisty track and get mugged at Hidden Valley and PI) but 1st is $300 and a set of tyres say $800 total 2nd is $200 so ダイビング ダイビング ダイビング"Tora Tora Tora" into turn 2 every start for me

[Kimbo]

This is great to hear Linden,since I am running for fun , I think I might just sit in front of you with the RSV4. Oh my other RSV4 will be raced as well , so we can tag team you, This will be fun, ha,

[KANGA]

ah bugger cut off closes tomorrow, think I'll just have to make the plunge and eat toast for dinner if I have to.

Racing toast!!
Essential part of the process

Here, put this on your racing toast....

Actually if you can give me a tow down the straight I'd be keen for it

And the TMA's already done some of this parking in front of me at Honda in the wet at PI - last lap 1st leg

[Kimbo]

A tow, ha, ha

[zoidberg]

PB's all around I reckon!!

I've never had a proper timed lap. So no matter what I do, it's a PB!

[KANGA]

Right transferred the funds and forms submitted. Now how does this north circuit thing work for Saturday? Just don't turn right at T4 ay

hopefully you also include turning left...

its actually a flip flop so watch a few of the boys lines on youtube etc to get a feel for it. its been a while since I rode it (not rushing back for the enjoyment), but from memory there was a bump coming out that tended to pop the front ...

treat it as a practice day through there till you have made your way around a few times and know where the track is at. Then go racing!!

Yeah just watched a few. The flop part looks pretty off camber? Never quite sure with action cam fish eye lenses though. Guessing you have to be a bit careful with the power there.
Bloody hate T10 already, don't know how I'm gonna feel coming in a gear higher lol

[Turbo]

I quite like the North Circuit to be honest. Did as Little Mick said the first time, took it easy for practice and wound it up gradually once I'd worked out some lines and where the grip was.
Ended up qualifying on the 2nd row!

[Binksy]

It's actually really good fun I reckon, a nice change up. Certainly wouldn't que up to go there all the time but once a year is great fun. Good fast circuit and you can really get stuck into the throttle out of the flip flop.

[Marshy]

Exactly right! The flip is actually more on camber and grippier than it first appears, so you can go in pretty hard. But the flop is off camber and not very grippy. And there's a slight ridge just as you're asking for full throttle as you are coming back onto the T9 track, and there have been a number of serious accidents there. So be careful!

Bloody hate T10 already, don't know how I'm gonna feel coming in a gear higher lol

It's the best way to improve your T10 speed for the normal track later

[KANGA]

Yeah I actually had that thought. Might help me get over it a bit once I've tried it faster ... still shitting my self though lol

[Kimbo]

Got to be careful on the way out , can high side there, also you end up at a higher speed coming into the last corner

[zooker]

Forms submitted at the last minute. Went all out and entered both 600's and Clubsport 600's. Figured the extra track time will come in handy. Looking forward to battling it out with others around my pace.....and beating Binksy of course :P

There are a few different lines through there, (but not much room to pass) so if you mess it up, it's not too big of a deal. As Marshy said, the left hander you can go in heaps faster than you think as you wash off speed tipping in and then when you hit the uphill. Just don't be ham fisted with the throttle over the crest and you'll be fine.

[Metal-Man]

Phat3r knows that one oh too well :p

[Krackeye]

Not a lot of competitors at this stage.

[KANGA]

Is there any reason why I would be listed for the Saturdays North Circuit but not the Sundays GP for 600cc D grade?

3 races per class, at 5 laps right? $325 for 15 laps is expensive! $100 for the extra class, say you do bears/unlimted = $425 for 30 laps. Still quite expensive

Wait I'm an idiot, ignore me. Googled it and linked to an older document. Derp!

[Carl-52]

Im racing so ill see you there Kanga, though im in clubsport only. North circuit was fun last time, even though I spent all day sorting suspension out. Should be mental this time, Pbs for me.
