Collie HCMCC Rnd 7 24/25 September 2011

[Scott52]

Only three and a bit weeks away .... already put the entry form in.

How many Historic Moderns are turning up? Practice on the Saturday from 10.00am 'til 4.30pm.

Race on Sunday ... practice session in the morning and three 8 lap races. A great weekend.

[Grin]

I'll be coaching at Trakdayz on the Saturday so will come up after that for Sunday's racing

[Amber]

What a shame it's on the same day as Round 5. I always love the little Collie crew
Hope you all have a great weekend!

[I Fancy Holidays]

Im there, tarding as usual.

PS. in before "get your entries in!"

[Jamathi]

As per usual, we need some dedicated flaggies for this.
The club will look after you as much as they can.
Get close to the action and have a great weekend
See you all there

Are the supermoto's running the dirt section for this event?

[D.J]

in for this one, not modern though

[GD66]

Are the supermoto's running the dirt section for this event?

You would think so. Last time we ran there and the motards' dirt section was VERBOTEN, it was because the Supermoto guys had been there on the Friday, and tried to repair some pretty bad water damage. But it was unsuccessful, which is why they left the digger on the track, rendering it unuseable.
I'm sure by now, all is well, and the excellent dirt section will have been re-instated. Let's hope so, because the motards have been an excellent addition to this year's Collie programme.

[bomoto]

I might be up for an appearance for this, my 85cc would struggle on the whole course but might just do on the shortened dirt course!!!

When do entries close? My better half might not be too impressed with another weekend away, but we will see????

[GD66]

10-day closeoff for HCMC, so Sept 15th. Bring the bride, it'll be a good weekend !

Go the Motards! ... they've been fun to watch ... in particular on the track with them ... all very wide elbows, handle bars, knees and tyre smoke.

[bomoto]

Does HCMC have a class I could join, if no dirt, with an 85cc modern? i.e. ktm sx 85 mini-motard '07.

I was not lapped at Gero in 10 lap races with 39 sec. lap times by the front runners. I'm just concerned on the full track with long periods of WOT she may lean out and RRRRRRTTTTTT at the end of one of the straights!!!!! I have already geared it as far as is available, around 110 km/h.

[Scott52]

I'm sure the club could put you into an appropriate class. I don't think mixing it with the Moderns would be wise ... the 600's are hitting around 185km/hr down the back straight before the chicane.

Agreed, that's why I'm asking, I'm happy to race in a more appropriate paced class even with ineligibility to score points.

[S-Moto]

Yes, the off-road section will be fixed up and ready to ride on. One more working bee down there should clean it up.
It was not used last time because the inside of the track was water logged and it would have caused major damage to the dirt section, plus there was a lake on the first corner (complete with 5 ducks). We will be installing another sump to clean up that problem.
Hopefully the sump that was put in on the exit of the off-road section; will preserve the bitumin and stop anymore wash-out occuring

No.

Glen has spoken ... and his spoken word was no.

[spdwayind]

No.

If someone wants to join in and they're not going to get in anyones way whats the harm , and if it is a prob they probably should get more than a one word answer . Remember everyones just there for some fun . "Yes?"
