Staying over on the Friday/Saturday night


If you are camping in the paddock on the Friday/Saturday night you will need to supply me with a list of names of all the people in your camping party. Security will need to make sure that only authorised people are allowed in.
Please email me the list of names on your team to niftyfiftyrace@yahoo.com or call me on 0858454194 after 7pm (and not after 21.30pm please).
Teams will be (hopefully) able to have their machines scrutinised the on the night before the race if they are camping.

Woo Hoo!

[Inadzuma]

Well, the entry has gone in.(I think??).

Have to see if the Greek passes scrutineering.

Team name to follow.

? Zuma the Greek.

[Sykes]

Team place available.......

A team has pulled out due to a lack of a bike!!

If your on the standby list or if you actually have a Honda 50/70/90 and you have 4 riders with leathers, lid and 300 euros for the entry let me know. If you dont have a bike prob best not to apply. Only 2 weeks to go.

Got me entry in for next year....yeahaw!

Just have to watch out for a cheap 90 and then get to working on her...

Hmmm

Sounds like a fair bit o prep

Lose a stone or two.(Currently weighing about 17st in cluding leathers)

Prep the bike

Big End Kit & Main bearings on the crankshaft(about €100)
Rebore and new piston kit.(about €80 and then €30 fer a gasket set.)
New valves and seals (Hopefully get away with a regrind)
New oil and plug(€25 only the best......oil)
Both sets of wheel bearings(€50)
Sprockets carrier bearing(€20)
New head bearing (if needed)(€40)
Strip and grease up the front suspension linkages.(Nil)
Chamfer the front of the brake pads(Nil)
New chain & Sprockets(€60)
New tyres(€70)


Or just run what ya brung, chew on a breakfast roll and change the oil......that's probably what'll happen.....................

Only results I saw was Stu (xalfax) having a big off when he was only 15 mins from being finished.

And nope meself and inadzuma tried to get in but it was full less than 24 hours after entry was opened.
And there was at least one moto2 rider taking part. I believe his best lap time was 1.29 and the lap record for a C90.
