Ersatz.

 

Mmm those Aprilias...

 

Streaming it thru the tv.

 

Wow, short track, 45 second lap time.

 

Makes you wonder what the Pace Car is even there for lol.

 

Damn.....that monkey on the #250 sidecar can CORNER LOW

 

There is no way, NO WAY you could get me to monkey one of those things. Hell naw!

Best line from tonight so far:

"Back in the day... when 'PC' meant 'pulling crumpet' "

Over the PA. Dude's my hero LOL

 

Don´t know where the 45 seconds thing came from, but I was at the track today and the fast guys were doing around 1:35

It´s a modern track with a good layout and some interesting elevation changes.

Plus lots of interesting old bikes and interesting old people ...

Three Brittens and lots of old 1970´s 2 strokes and stuff... With legends like Graeme Crosby, Randy Mamola Steve Parrish, Aaron Slight and Andrew Stroud out doing a few laps on them...

Its not often you get to see and hear that stuff...

 

I would guess different weekend , different track.

 

Great pics!

 

Just had a great Supersport race! Link is LIVE

 

Its at Taupo this weekend - center of the North Island, higher up where it is cooler.

I raced there a few times when the track was first opened thirty something years ago. Used to be a simple layout but with a nice flow to it. Seems they have added some tight sections since then - can only guess what it is like now.

Unfortunately I am now back at my work in Mexico - watching it via the link like you...

New Zealand has some other interesting races too. There is a Street Race in Paeroa on the third Sunday every February. Not a great surface for racing and zero run off but lots of character and fun. Its the only place I know of where you can lean on a hay bale sipping a beer with racing motorcycles going past 10 feet in front of you...
