Massive week of racing in Victoria [NOV]

[grnman]

well actually it is still bigger than that but a stock filter should cover up that not so secret mod. im still behind in tuning my bike spot on let alone starting to play with the Vortex 10x ignition.

hey i just thought Ringo, you can try my old shock or just the spring if you like in your bike. ill bring it to Dandy.

All we need is your FMF pipe, Sava's, and tyre warmers on my bike, then you are in with a chance to beat Barnes.

I very interested to see how much quicker your engine is to mine, the rest is elementary!! I'm pretty happy with my chassis set up.... now!! I might buy that spring off you though??
Ahh, bike racing is 80% between the ears anyway!! We'll see.

 

[grnman]

Wait until you feel the R1 shock in my bike now. it might change your mind. on paper my engine should be quicker but i think the tuning will be absorbing a fair bit of power at the moment until i am confident with the 2 stroke not exploding.

$185 for an annual Senior Resitricted licence and $15 for the First Time licence fee and will have to complete the 30 question test. And we can do all of this on the day. Plus you will need to be a member of the Club Which is $30 annually.

ok so does he just has to pay $15 for the first time licence and sign up on the day to the club and do his entry forms and he will be able to ride

Got a sneak peak of Ringo on his KTM last night before we got drowned by the storms.
That KTM looks and sounds quick, I think a few of us in 4 strokes are going to be in a bit of trouble in a straight line....... But theres nothing a nicely placed bike mid corner can't fix so the 2t comes out in the wrong gear:fencing:

 

[dafunk]

Barnes, have you done much to your bike since PI?

Was ringo a close second or close fourth??

With myself and funk out the 2t seems to have filled that spot.

With myself and funk out the 2t seems to have filled that spot.

Not anything major, just a fresh piston and rings, new tyres, spark plug and new coil, but all were replaced with what was on there. I was closer to Billy this time but he has far superior race craft than me and a stack in the first race put me on the back foot for the whole weekend.
Billy and I were close up the front, then Ringo a lonely 3rd although he did beat Billy in one race, then Pete and Jake were a very close 4th and 5th only sepparated by 1 point in the end.

I will note though, the 2T is bullsh!t fast in a straight line, but suffers with handling issues under brakes and round corners...... for now. But once the front end is sorted, (Iwont but a time value on it) it will be hard for a thumper to stick with it.
Example of power, I was coming out of the sweeper pinned in 4th carring about 5km/h more corner speed than the 2t, once stright the 2t pulled about 1 1/2 bike lengths in about 3 seconds befpre we had to brake for the corner.

The 2011 Vic State titles were a great sucess with riders form Perth, Brisbane and Melbourne making the trip down to Warrnambool. The Weather played its part in providing perfect racing conditions across the 3 days which allowed some close battles that were sorted out in the last centimetres before the chequered flag. The weekend also saw a number of spills on some fast corners but all are okay. In both Junior and Senior Motard and Senior Elite , the Current National Champions managed to keep thier Titles in tact and also pick up the State Title.
There were a number of Media personnell that Turned up to take an array of photo's which are available on facebook, The Standard newspaper and Karen Giblin websites.
Results are below
