OK I have my rear spocket/chain gaurds in place but I wasn't aware of the era letter requirement as it hasn't been enforced in previous years. Will the scrutineers require the letter on all 3 number plates per last years MOMS or just the front (assume the reg has changed this year).
-
would prefer the letter on all three plates but just the front as a minimum. It makes it so much easier on the grid for the marshalls to easily identify odd bikes out if you know what I mean.
It was encouraged last year with the understanding it would be required for this year.
-
Haven't raced with Heaven since 2006 and I'm thinking about rejoining this year, so I don't know what the era letters for the numberplates are. Any place I can find out?
-
Race numbers must be clearly displayed on three (3) number plates or as otherwise
stated in the GCR.
The ERA letter set out below must also be displayed
Number plates must be presented in the following
colours:
As perGCR requirements.
125ccBlack background with white numbers
250ccGreen background with white numbers
>263ccYellow background with black numbers
At least the front number plate of each bike shall have
the followingletters as per the GCR
50mm high on the leftof the number plate in the same colours as the number.
Pre65 N
Pre75 X
EVO E
Pre70 H
Pre78 Z
Pre85 Y

Thanks Noel 8)
Early bird $60 entry fee closes this Friday. After that entry goes to the $70 full fee and $80 on the day (except new members who are welcomed anytime even on the day).
It makes it so much easier for the pre-meeting stuff if entries are in by this Friday so please 'extractum the digitum' :P ;D
Already shaping up as a big meeting.
-
Looking forward to this one ;D ;D is the Pre 70 class going to be every Round or just with pre 65 etc.
-
Pre70s are welcome to run with the Pre75s at most rounds but will be a feature class in the Roy East Series

Thanks for that info Noel, couldn't find it anywhere.

Here is the Precipitation chart for Nicknock, for the past month.
Notice no precipitation at all for the past week until a lousy 4mm this morning, barely enough to hold the dust down ::)
February 2014 Precipitation chart for Nick Nock (http://www.weatherzone.com.au/station.jsp?lt=site&lc=61260&list=ds)
A beautiful 23 for Saturday and 25 for Sunday, with a gentle 12-16 k/hr cool caressing breeze for the whole weekend :P
with temps only dropping to a mere 19 degrees overnight on Saturday.
Couldn't get better.
-
What country are you looking at Mick
-
Hey mate, if you had of been at south west Newcastle/Lake Macquarrie? Yeap, a vastly different story.
Matcho had 2" running though his bike lock-up :o
But that ain't where the NickNock track is, and I am told it is on the side of a hill,
And if it had of had heavy precipitation(but it didn't),,,,it would have run-off ::) thats what hills do ;D
Hey have I ever told you my plan, vision for dealing with pessimists :-X
-
And just because I will probably not attend, means bugger all. Please don't think of it as a dissclaimer ;D
It is only because I just got my doctors clearance yesterday, :D :D insert a yippe cy yay or something
and that doesn't give me enough time to get MA to get me off the banned riders list ;D ::) OK
-
Ok ok, I just rang Zane, he lives only one kay from the track ;D
He just told me, that they have only been experiencing some light drizzle and light showers,
Nothing heavy,
Nothing all all like the biblical cats and dogs deluge like Matcho experienced south of Morriset.
Zane is going to try and find out some more about the track, but at this stage it is looking quite OK.
-
G'day
I live ten ks from the track and we've had about 20 mills of rain so far and it's still raining,will be muddy
Cheers scotty
-
that's exactly what Zane said too Scotty, 20mls, Sounds like a sun shower ::)
-
I live in Cessnock ??? and its Still raining , we have had a few hard down pours to :o will be wet fast track ;D
-
Well guys after a lot of phone calls, consternation and with a lot of disappointment we have been forced to cancel the Cessnock meeting this weekend.
There has been around 30mm of rain since 9am along with rain since 4am this morning and it is forecasts for heavy rain for the next 24-36hrs. The local club have recommended that the track will be unfit for use.
Newcastle and Lake Macquarie have had massive down pours with local flooding with over 200mm falling in a few hours today and a large low pressure system will have a major impact on rain for 36-48hrs. A few riders arrived looked and went home. Basically we had no options
We will be rescheduling this meeting for later in the year as the entry was very large with 87 pre entries.
Very sorry but little we could do.

Arrrrh well, guess you can't argue with a big damp low
So much for optimism ;D
-
Dam,I just been and shaved my beard of so it didn't Catch the mud like last time at buladelah,guess it will grow back
Cheers scotty
-
OR Scotty was that the final fine tuning secret for a light weight low air drag fast launch out of the gate ;) ;D
Yes Mick I was optimistic until I spoke to guys ta the track and the Cessnock Club President whpo has been working at the track for years.
A total BUMMER as had the bikes all ready to push onto the trailer as well.

And I just cancelled my accommodation at Hunter Vally Travellers Rest, Tony at the motel said because it was within the 48 Hr, not one cent will be refunded. So if anyone is thinking of staying at Cessnock in the future give this clown and his establishment a wide berth.

Ring back and tell them that you still want the room. It stops the arseholes booking it out again. ;)
