2013 Xmas Drags - CONFIRMED (with conditions)

[Aido]

Latheboy...I know that when the flag drops the bullshit stops but in future what would be the chance of getting a dyno on the day? -- next year-ish....maybe.

[dazzayzf750]

90% sure ill be comin, ill pay on the day.i think ill be throwing the yzf 750 on the trailer if anyone's interested in takin that home with them on the day it's there's for a $1000 bucks

[latheboy]

I had planned on doing a dyno day before the event but time has got away from me.
I have a mobile bike dyno but I won't get it there this year. I might talk to Russ and see if he is ok with me bringing one next year.

[Deano]

There isn't too much fine print to read but a few Q's to clarify.
1. Wet weather / wash out. Will there be a postponed event, refund or cancellation with forfeit of monies? or cross that bridge when we get to it?
2. $130 is the only cost with no CAMS or MV license / fee to pay?
3. Scrutineering....Just so there aren't any tantrums on the day what are the minimal requirements as set out by the operators of Heathcote?
4. Is it one entry fee for as many bikes as you can fit in a semi trailer or is the entry fee payable per bike? ( only ask for others that had this issue on the first event)
5. Who is doing the pizza run? Or is there deep fried catering into the night? Perhaps we could make it easier on the venue by taking orders late afternoon so they dont have wastage or staff hanging around. (?)
6. So there are no surprises whats the grog cost so that sufficient cash can be on hand? - I know previously that beer was at RSL prices but those carrying handbags whinged about the cost of Stolli.
7.Why the fuck isn't everyone on this?

Having been at the first event and seeing a very large and extremely angry owner of the Venue in his tattered grundies screaming over the PA at a naked ferret performing a skid near the bar it should be abundantly clear that under no circumstances should any engine be started at the conclusion of the days event.
As Deano put it.....Respect to the venue for having us. Anyone that fucks this up may find themselves down any one of the numerous mineshafts located around the area.

Work on drinks at bar prices. $4 a can last year i believe

I entry per bike . 2 bikes = 2 entries

Scrutineering is common sense safety. looking at the rider list every one knows what that is and if you don't you should not be working on a bike

As mentioned the canteen will be open

[hyofighter]

glad to see the event went ahead , but checked flight prices today and have doubled in price since last month and I wasn't going to book them then if it wasn't a certainty so its just not going to happen this year for me, will just have to do our own west coast one

[kevkatana]

When we get the confirmation email do we need to print it out? My printer is kaput

[oldskool]

When we get the confirmation email do we need to print it out? My printer is kaput

Knob!
Just do a cave rubbing of it and you better beat me this year hairy princess!

[Yella]

gates open at ? racing starts at ? need to plan the drive

[xa-mont]

Anyone in Melbourne able to lend me a bed for Friday night so i don't have to drive all the way from here on Sat morning?

[Deano]

You can crash here if you want mate.

Gates at 12
As previously mentioned riding from 2

[TurboKat]

It's a shame, but the need to clarify the entry fees & conditions has become apparent because there's always someone who has to take the piss or cheat the system or both, it states very clearly on the first post of this thread that it costs $130 to ride.

Pretty self explanatory isn't it? No? OK, I'll spell it out for you - you cannot enter yourself as a rider & your mate as a spectator & share 1 bike.
This is not like sneaking into the Campground at the GP - it's OK to rip off a huge faceless corporation, it's not OK to rip Russell off & jeopardise the event for the rest of us.

[oldskool]

There was never any intention of ripping anyone off but thanks for that.
And that was cleared up in private this arvo thanks Dean.
I was under the impression it was a bike entry but like I say all cleared up this arvo.

[oldskool]

That's where the misunderstanding came from.

[xa-mont]

Cheers big ears. Seeya next Friday

[Iceman]

I'm too lazy to read the whole thread, can i rock up on the day as a spectator or do i need to pre pay?

[Aido]

Still got mates with cars keen. If it will help out fiscally then they would appreciate a look in.

[Large]

Looks like it's time for my biennial oil change

[Deano]

No cars sorry mate.

Ice. - at this stage prepay through the web store. If you were to rock up on the day I would advise having the exact cash on you

[kevkatana]

Hey Si/Deano. Are we getting an email confirmation or is there a list at the track? Haven't got one and payed a couple of weeks ago. Don't want to roll up to be told I haven't payed.

[Yella]

Will the tyre changer show up this year? Remember seeing one last year but dunno who had it

[hyofighter]

that was hutch with the tyre changer yella dont think he was going coz he was having his neck op

[Deano]

Tix will be mailed out this week the program will be with it. Just putting the finishing touches to it today. Don't stress kev if Si has you in the list then you are a confirmed entrant and money has been received

When you receive the ticket you need to print them out and present them at the gate

No ticket - no entry

[Redmohawk]

So No spectators buying tix at the gate then ?

[TurboKat]

Weather forecast is looking good.

[Yella]

that was hutch with the tyre changer yella dont think he was going coz he was having his neck op
mmmmm lucky I got a new 2nd hand tyre fitted today :)

[Redmohawk]

I may be able to get a tyre changer , will ask if its needed. (have to borrow off a mates business)

[Deano]

You guys have got to remember this is a private day meaning there is no need for Russell to pay someone to sit in the tix booth and another on the front gate just so we can give 2 people the option of making up their mind at the last minute and paying on the day.
Remember this is not open to the general public

Either bite the bullet and prepay or don't be surprised if there is no one to take your money at the gate and you can't get in.

We have enough to make the event happen. Anymore from there is a bonus but we don't 'need' them so if they can't sort themselves out then that's their loss

I hope that clears things up

[Redmohawk]

Fair call , its just I've been chatting with local bike joints (that I know personally) looking for other riders and spectators to ensure this got off the ground , Now I'll have to run back around and tell them not to bother.

Or could we man the gate for a few hours to alow spectators to enter ?

My concern is that this is a great event for us and only just makes it to conformation the last 2 years, If we encourage a few more people to attend then we may be able to manage a small event each year instead of a struggle to find enough riders.

If we keep the riders count down (as we like the track for us) but encorage a few more spectators Russel makes some cash and is possably more enthusiastic for another event.

[timbo]

Just paid for one spectator via bank transfer

[Aido]

I may be able to get a tyre changer , will ask if its needed. (have to borrow off a mates business)
I have Tyre levers, dish soap and stands for those that dont have soft hands.
Deano crystal clear. But stand by as there is "always one"


Now a change of attitude from logistics to actual nitty gritty.
Lets get into Bench racing. Bracket style. The winner gets bragging rights only.
We Need a spectator as adjudicator for this....Nominations please.

For those running bikes on the day nominate;
1. Nearest the pin for first run
2. Nearest the pin for best run for the day

[Aido]

My first run 12.2
Best run 10.9

[Yella]

10.9 first run
10.4 best for day (well that's what I am aiming for )

[xa-mont]

I reckon 12.6 first run and
Best run 11.0

[scotty]

If the tix have been sent can I get a resend(change of add), thanks

[Deano]

Not sent yet. Watch the forum for advice to check your mail for the tix

[latheboy]

Not quite Last minute racing as I got it back together at 1AM today.
9.2 BOOSTS :)

12.5 first ... scared
10.9 pb

[Yella]

:cool: Nice

[TurboKat]

I hope the Scrutineer doesn't rip my ram air ducts out this time... :mad:

[Yella]

Ram air that sound dangerous and possibly cheating. Note to self: speak with scrutineer

[latheboy]

Yeah that guy is a dickhead.

Lucky he's not doing it again, I wouldn't let him back.... should even ban him from the forum....

[Deano]

Yeah that's not to bad

[Gix11]

OK Guys, there is no way at this late date that I'll guarantee and tickets POSTED but I will email everyhting to each person.

If you don't have a working printer take a photo of the screen with all details in it or email it to a mate to print. Each ticket has an individual detail that we have on record, so tickets are not interchangeable.

Cheers guys

[Deano]

Just put through another rider payment for a mate.

[xa-mont]

Will the ticket email on my phone on the day suffice?

[Deano]

Yeah that guy is a dickhead.

Lucky he's not doing it again, I wouldn't let him back.... should even ban him from the forum....

Or is he:cool:

[Deano]

Probably Travis but its the lady on the gate that you have to convince not me

[xa-mont]

fair enough. i'll sort printing it then... just trying to be lazy

[Deano]

Email it to me and I can print

[Gix11]

Ok ladies. All ther tickets and programs have been emailed to the address used in the cart system when you booked your tickets.

Only one I had a problem with was Aido's as he made a typo. I guessed what it should be instead and sent it again so let me know if you don't get it mate.

All the details of ticket numbers and codes are in the files you get. PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU TAKE THE TICKET WITH YOU!

Cheers guys and gals.

[Deano]

Got it thanks mate

[stiffsimon]

Got it and printed, cheers Si

[Gix11]

Just for the record, the tickets were made PRIOR to the time change and I have only just remembered (thanks Deano), so the time on the ticket is INCORRECT. GATES OPEN AT 12pm AS PER THE PROGRAM.

Cheers guys

[latheboy]

Got mine, thanks

[xa-mont]

got mine cheers big ears!

[stiffsimon]

Who's riding up from Melbourne on Saturday?

[timbo]

Thanks mate got mine too

[Aido]

adrianlws@bigpond.com

[Gix11]

No worries Aido. Just resent it for you mate.

Cheers

[Aido]

Received and printed.

[Aido]

The important bit is
This document MUST be presented at the gate or entry is not permitted!

[Redmohawk]

recieved

[xa-mont]

Who's riding up from Melbourne on Saturday?

I'll be driving up with my bike on the back of the ute and the missus in the passenger seat. I assume deano is doing similar.

[kev@vcm]

Si I have not received an email at all mate

[EXBEN]

I may be a little excited at the thought of going racing....

[Deano]

I to would be excited if I didn't have so many jobs to do on the bike between now and then

[kevkatana]

Got it. Thanks fella.

[Gix11]

Si I have not received an email at all mate

Have you checked your Junk / trash folder mate? Sometimes ASF emails go there just because of the high volume URL.

I'll forward it again now to your cycleseats address just like before.

[TurboKat]

I spoke to the Mean Dean Machine yesdy & he's claiming his bike will toast any & all turbocharged ZX9s that happen to be at Heathcote on Saturday.*
He also mentioned something about 9 seconds...






*May contain traces of shit stirring.

[Deano]

I made some fully sick custom wheel spacers last night so should be good to get into the 8's now.

It's all in the wheel spacers you know

[stiffsimon]

Pah turbo ZX9's, Turbo Bandits, NOS this , stretched arm that, sticky tyres and quickshifters. You lot had better watch out. Live in fear because I know that you're cowering in fear at the prospect of facing of THE MIGHTY Speed Triple with it's truly tarmac rippling 99.8 rwhp, read it and weep fuckers :D

[oldskool]

Settle doon ye Gadjy bastad ma 14 will ultrasonic your saorsa highland errase!

[scotty]

14 ay, well that will make it a 750 t, a 1100, 954, 600 and a 14 gettin hosed by a stock 750

[latheboy]

Hosed from a blown oil line?
I'm going to smash you fuckers.... You heard it here first!11!!!!!!!11!!!!1!

I've installed an exhausternater valve and sprayed all the front surfaces of the bike with Teflon, doing my helmet and gear tonight....... bring it hippies

[TurboKat]

Dreamers, all youse are gunna see all day is a Blackbird taillight.
10.71 @ 135 last year, 28 more RWHP plus Ramair this year = 9.99 @ 150 :o

HONDA - Performance First. :cool:

I like the teflon idea but...

[stiffsimon]

All my earth shaking 99.8RWHP will be going straight to the ground and driving me forward to the best 1/4 time. No wheelspin for me, no fighting to keep the front wheel down no chassis twisting antics for me. Sub 100BHP is the way forward don't you know. It's in the name TRIUMPH

[hyofighter]

http://media0.giphy.com/media/qmfpjpAT2fJRK/giphy.gif

god there is some crap being written here haha cant wait to here the outcome on the day now , personally im backing the teflon innovation racing

[latheboy]

If I find anyone copying my idea I'll burn your shitbox to the ground.







Or not let it through scrutineering!

[scotty]

I'm gunna leave the mirrors on so you hate me even more for whooping you all, and when it's by miles I'll fill me tyres with water to rub harder

[latheboy]

All you're going to see is my tail light in the distance scotty....

You can keep your mirrors so you can blame they for going so slow.

[Deano]

Are you guys for real?

When I unleash my 200.3hp you wont even know what hityou. If your bike had doors they wouldbe blown off.

I have more than a few new additions this to make thebeating you will receive bigger than ever.

Ivan, don’t forget to take the peak off your helmet to cutdown drag.

Also no big pasta meals the day before please.

[latheboy]

I'm on that already, taking off my high heels too

[Yella]

it's the .3 that will do it for you

[timbo]

Don't make me bring the Honda and show you clowns how its done:)

[xa-mont]

well I don't know why you guys are getting so worked up.

I'm just going to try my hardest and enjoy myself... it's not all about winning you know.


...



...


May be my attitude because i know i'm not going to win.

[Large]

Loling at the jibberers talking it up.

You know that you'll all shit when I roll the -12 out.

http://img4.uploadhouse.com/fileuploads/18708/18708554b7bedfc6cf961080cc6ddd5de91a2e87.jpg

Fresh fuel/oil/tyre air and a full Windex® wipedown and she's gtg.

[kev@vcm]

Have you checked your Junk / trash folder mate? Sometimes ASF emails go there just because of the high volume URL.

I'll forward it again now to your cycleseats address just like before.

Ok checked my folders and nothings come up mate so I've sent you an email so you can reply directly , cheers see you there Kunts

[scotty]

Don't make me bring the Honda and show you clowns how its done:)is it yellow

[dazzayzf750]

Just payed via PayPal got the recipe number for one rider

[Gix11]

Tickets sent Darren.

Yours is fixed too Kev. My system had your old info@ address and defaulted to that!

[scotty]

i think im taking a ...................







wait for it.......
















HOG as well

[xa-mont]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pjC1r72hYgQ

[scotty]

That's what I'll be chiming when you get smashed by it trav

[Deano]

i think im taking a ...................







wait for it.......
















HOG as well

2 bikes = 2 entries as a rider.

[stiffsimon]

Nah mate, surely he's bringing the HOG just for burning/roasting

[xa-mont]

mmmm roast pig. Memories of Kevs do.

I ate a pigs vagina... good times.

[scotty]

Na mate 3 entry's = 3 bikes

[Deano]

If any rider wants to take a second bike eg 3 entries with 4 bikes then the forth bike needs to be payed for as another rider. If you are just saying that you are towing another bike for someone else to ride then forget all of the above

[scotty]

ah well as it turns out robson got his shitfighter running so no shop vrod is gunna make it
btw si just payed for one more(just coned bc's plummer to bring his track bike for some fun)
