6 Hour Production Race Nov 20-22

[racegodr1]

Hey Guys and Gals
As the Co-Promoter of this mammoth event (Details soon on new website www.thesixhour.com.au and media release's etc)

What bike do you think will win? (1000cc up) if you were to enter???

Only mods allowed are a set of raceglass and standard gearing can be changed ,everything else must remain stock.
No limit on pit stops , tyres or refueling.

1 bike only min 2 riders max 4 riders. Pro class, Vets and Novice class. 1000cc bikes only at this stage,may open it up to 600cc class if distributors want both.

Factory's will have a few teams each, but remember 6 hours around probably the toughest track in the country will be very hard!

[racegodr1]

My bike of choice , an 09 R1 of course, with Brett Clark and Muzza as team mates.

Think it will perform well and may be kind on tyre wear. Pick it up next week and will race it at the creek in June as per 6 hour mods stock except race glass and gearing. Should be interesting to see the AUS-TEST results from this Sunday.

[clarkey]

08-09 Blade all the way ,Smaller effortless easy handling -Got to be easier on the body , Better brakes and better fuel economy evening out the worse tyre wear advantage of the Jamjar

[jasonbw]

I'm thinking the Yammie will have probs with a 6 hr being so thirsty... but still, some of these pilots are gods in my eyes, theyd win anyway.

[Mr.Ed]

Link on the first post doesn't work...:confused1: Which circuit?! If it's OP I'd say the new R1 should take it as it's easier on the tires and better out of the corners... EC should be 50-50 with the blade.

[zRoYz]

I'm thinking the Yammie will have probs with a 6 hr being so thirsty... but still, some of these pilots are gods in my eyes, theyd win anyway.

Will be a great match up & interesting to see the outcome.

I do tend to agree any advantage the R1 might have on tyres will be lost on fuel stops those things eat fuel. Birdman new R1 which he wasn't even reving hard & not in A mode was 25kms into reserve & my blade reserve light hadn't even come on.

[racegodr1]

Will be very interesting come the race .Smooth throttle control counts for a lot you know.
As for the link website is coming soon.

[tim73]

James,

Why so restrictive on the mods. You are limiting so many existing race bikes from entering. I was personally thinking of entering my 600 but obviously won't be able to under the proposed rules.

Tim

[jasonbw]

Hey Tim !!!! Jase here from EC.

James I would have entered my bike but with the mod restriction I couldn't, and the fact it can be only 1 bike.. I don't want someone else writing my bike off... esp if it has to be my road bike. Is it too late to be able to change it so you can enter multiple bikes, or more modified bikes?

[Turtle]

I'm thinking the Yammie will have probs with a 6 hr being so thirsty...
.

And the lack of grunt......

[tim73]

Hi Jase!

I don't have a problem with one bike. If it gets crashed, the "you bend you mend it would apply". But there is no way I could back out mods i've done to make it totally stock again. What does totally stock mean? Does this include clipons, rearsets, changes to ECU mapping, brakes pads, etc?

[racegodr1]

Guys the whole idea of an Endurance race is 1 bike and distributors sponsors etc want that race format.
When i ran the 5 hour at Wakefield in 2006 it was a club race, teams relay and that works for that market. This is different , the return of Production Bike racing,Castrol etc,big prize money and huge bragging rights for the winner!!

This race was the biggest event in Australian bike racing with crowds of 15000 plus.

Also its a huge farewell to Oran with Trade displays demo rides RTA sponsored Lams rider area ,bike swap meet,Past Champions parade etc support races

We are having a C and D grade superbike support event Fri and Sat and C and D 600cc Support event so maybe you guys can enter that.

Or when details are announced why not get 4 guys together for less than $5k each,you can race the event then sell it and all used tyres etc ? thats what most will be doing or get your local Dealer involved and the bike can go back as a demo to the shop and costs will be minimal.

[racegodr1]

Also a 2-3hour DVD documentary will be filmed over the 3 days by a production company associated with Channel 7 which will then air in Jan 2010 on a 1 hour TV special (8 weeks after the event) and also on Fox.

[jasonbw]

OK, different market, fair nuff, oran park... ok I better get my stock shit back on this bike:)

[racegodr1]

Mods are at this stage STD but.... I reckon we need a modified superstock spec class and production class but once again its up to the BIG 4-6 to see if thats ok.

Still early days and i think , but im only 1 of 4 in this new venture so lets see what happens in the next 4 weeks ill keep all posted.

[racegodr1]

OK, different market, fair nuff, oran park... ok I better get my stock shit back on this bike:)

Will be good to see you race this !!!

I think most will see what we are trying to do.
Bikes these days are that good!! very little needs to be done to go fast
Rumour is ASBK will be running SUPERSTOCK SPEC in 2010 to keep costs down and Allerton did 1.09.3 on a superstock spec Blade at the state titles.

[Johnny]

Money would go on either the current blade, or the preceeded 07/08 R1..

Defintely would be keen to see this go ahead though.. Good luck and hope its a goer..

[jasonbw]

Allerton did 1.09.3 on a superstock spec Blade at the state titles.

Thats the exciting part, being on track - for hours - with gods like those! Even if people can't find a way to ride youd just get a bunch of mates and have an event youd never forget.

Just for the hr until your turn on the bike!

[clarkey]

Just for the hr until your turn on the bike!

pffffft- but im keen to see this one :ayyy:

[Jungleboy]

Wow there's an idea, put in as a team to buy a new bike and race glass, get to race the latest model bike against others that have no advantage over yours and after the meet if its still in one piece one member can pay out the others for their next years race bike!

Who wants to go in for a new Blade? :)

[MUZZ 36]

Think it will perform well and may be kind on tyre wear. Pick it up next week and will race it at the creek in June as per 6 hour mods stock except race glass and gearing. Should be interesting to see the AUS-TEST results from this Sunday.

So does that mean we will be in the vets class ?

[Dunno]

I would be in although I might have to do 8 hours in an attempt to clock up enough laps :hatter:

I love it :clap: A true production class endurance race. Just like the original 6 Hour.
Stock everything. What about tyres James? Gotta be road going tyres & if so do you have to stick with whats wheeled out of the shop for the whole race? As in the brand? How many sets does everyone think you would go through & how quickly do you think you could change 2 wheels?

With modern day transponders we wont have the lap counting accusations of years gone by.
Great idea James & a very fitting farwell to Oran Park. Any chance of a final Swann Insurance Series? :D

[tim73]

Production class sounds good. Will probably rule me out unless I team up with someone else. I'll probably try to slot myself into one of the support classes if I can.

[Dunno]

This thread has got me all nostalgic. Just finished watching the 1984 Castrol 6 Hour on DVD.

Robbie Phillis qualified on pole riding a GPz900 with a 1:19 & thats using the bus stop.
Mike Dowson & Richard Scot won the race riding an RZ500.
Bloody good race with the little 500 that could beating the GPz900s, VF1000R, VF1000F,Katana GSX750 & VF750F.
I wonder how a GSXR750 would go if they were allowed to compete this time around? I imagine a 750 would be a little easier on fuel consumption & tyres?

2 questions James.

Will they be using the traditional Le Mans start & will they be using the bus stop like the good old days?

[jasonbw]

The LeMans start was used at WP last year for the endurance race... awesome to watch (great view from the tower) :) Dunno I've gotta get that DVD off you mate... not seen it.

No worries Jase. I will watch it a couple of more times & pop it in the mail. You should get it next week :ayyy:

[jasonbw]

I'll do a pay-it-forward thing, if someone else wants a copy then let me know and I'll post it on to you so long as you'll do the same for the enxt person who asks.

I don't think anyone should object a GSXR750 trying its luck there... I understand it's not part of the rules but it's a less powerful bike (around 40-50hp less depending who you get your figures from) and would only make things more interesting IMO. Actually both the GSXR750 and the 848 (although a Duc running for 6 hours straight... lol)!!
Ok, so that's not gonna happen... but I still would like to watch that some day.

[sbutler]

So does that mean we will be in the vets class ?

I know I will :lmao:
I think it will be a great event! "The Castrol 6 Hour" just saying it bring back great memorys, & of cause the last race at OP I'll be there for sure, even if im not riding. Im still gonna be there..:ayyy:

[gixxer2008rider]

Is there going to be a year model cut off ??????

Yes and at this stage maybe????? Depends on MNSW or MA.
no reason why GSXR750 ,848 and others cant race.

[Captain]

On that ... and sorry if it's off topic ... why do you not use then bus stop on CB ride days? I did a Champion day at OP not long ago, and it was the first time I rode it and I must say I prefer it. Just wondering.

[jasonbw]

just FIY The race today didn't use it... the OP site shows the "GP circuit" doesnt use it... only the North circuit.

[Stu23]

I reckon a gixxer 750 would be the ideal tool for an OP endurance race, bit easier to ride, prob better on tyres and fuel too........

anyone got a new one they can lend me :) hahaha

[racegodr1]

On that ... and sorry if it's off topic ... why do you not use then bus stop on CB ride days? I did a Champion day at OP not long ago, and it was the first time I rode it and I must say I prefer it. Just wondering.

Its not licensed by MNSW and i myself prefer it as well but the powers to be wont allow it. As for doing it with Champions under an MA permit it would make the day legally unlicensed as far as MNSW are concerned. Doubt they will be able to use that layout again.

BUT......We are talking with MNSW and Oran Park to try and resolve this track issue.

[DanFX]

I'd be keen on a 600 support race!

[jasonbw]

Cool, I've not seen this site before... came up in google when looking for Laurie Alderton (he raced in the 6 hr).

Thats a great find Jason :ayyy: Take note of 1973 when Kenny Blake won the race riding solo on a Z1 900. 6 hours of throwing a Z1 around Amaroo :notworthy::notworthy::notworthy::notworthy:

Suzuki GSX750SE (pop-up) Katana.

When I was a lad I ran three of these in (including this one and two spares) for the 6 hour and worked in the pits on wheel changes. The bike ran a 120/80x16 front and 120/90x18 rear Pirelli Phantoms.

The riders used the 120/90 rear in lieu of the wider tyres (130/90, 140/70 & 140/80) available as Oran Pk was very bumpy back then and the higher rear tyre saved the rear shock a little.

The bike went 1 1/2 hours on a full tank of chilled fuel (dry-iced) so only made three stops and came third outright against the VF1000 Hondas, GPZ900R Kwakas and the Yammy RZ500's.

About a half hour before the last stop (2 hrs to go) it broke a barrel stud and started leaking oil but we didn't want to add any in case the pit-lane observers had a close look. When we drained the oil back at the 'shop it had around 700 mls left in the whole engine!

There were no rev limiters back then and I think the red-line was around 10,500 but they revved it to 12,000 all week to make it go.

Bring on the race and good luck with the promotion RGR1

[jasonbw]

Oils aint Oils hey Snoz, appropriate prob for the "Castrol" 6 hr.. 700mls and running race pace, fantastic!

Dry ice to cool the fuel...?? I've heard of cooler fuel but never understood why it works better?

[Snoz]

Yeah JBW it was Castrol in the bike.....an early version of their semi-synthetic "GPS".

The fuel is pre-cooled in dry-ice to make it shrink. We would place the 20 litre drums of fuel into a tea-chest and pack the dry-ice around it. You could get around 2 extra litres into the tank.

The Silastic RZ-500 that year bent a con-rod when the expanding fuel pushed passed a needle and seat while waiting on the grid for the start. It hydraulic locked when the kick-start was used to start the race. Cooling of fuel was banned the next year:rules:

[jasonbw]

Ha, that's amazing!!!!! thanks.

[Johnny]

Wow, learn something new every day !

Never wouldve thought dry ice would be used to shrink fuel, amazing..

[jasonbw]

Ice shrinks more than just fuel mate :D

that's my excuse!

[Johnny]

LOL, agreed :o

[sbutler]

The dry ice thing was first used by the Team Avon at Amaroo in the Jim Budd, Rodger Hayes bike ..
There were many other inovative ideas used in those days. That was just one.
If you know what I mean?:rules:

BTW::tHE CASTROL 6 HOUR was the first time nitrogen[spelling] was ever used in bike tyres..

The 6 Hour is a real grind for both rider & bike. If you are thinking of entering, dont think the fastest bike will win.
You need something that is easy on fuel, tyres, & riders. I think you'll find the most unlikely bike will win.
Maybe even a 600cc machine could win.. Make the right choice & you could come up trumps in the end.

I hope it is run along the same lines as the 6 hours in the past. Bog stock bike. You soon see which bikes are good & which are not so good.

[WET4URacing]

600's i dont think will be invited coz they will win and have

Talking about the moto concepts 6 hour

[sbutler]

How about using dry ice in the front fork?
When the ice thorw's out, it turn back into gas. Abra kadabra! gas charged forks, just like your rear shock.

That's the 6 hour teams relay not the 6hour Paul.

[WET4URacing]

yes racegod correct . 2 yrs in a row . the last 1 bike-2 rider 6hr production class winner at the creek was again a WET4U Team.

[sbutler]

I thought we were we were talking about the real CASTROL 6 HOUR
There was only ONE in my books..

[WET4URacing]

bumping it to get a few out there to think about doin it. not hard to get a bike together and have ago

[WET4URacing]

the real 6 hr was 20 yrs ago

[j-rad]

bumping it to get a few out there to think about doin it. not hard to get a bike together and have ago

NOW....onto finding a stock bike before Nov, I assume if I read the rest of the posts I'll find something about regs, entries etc? LOL

Just looking at those times .... what were you doing OP in, jason? :confused1:

Low 15's wasn't it?

BTW I think Glenn Allerton set a new lap record at the NSW Titles in the high 1.09's.

[gazujc]

Correct me here, but the old 6Hour used the bus stop section as well didn't it (addressed to any of the guys who raced it)?

That would in itself add a bit of time.



Bink, you are right from memory Allerton ran a 1:09.2 but I am sure Rcaegod will know as he issued the challeng to better it






Garry

[jasonbw]

Just looking at those times .... what were you doing OP in, jason? :confused1:

Yep binkings right but I'd guess it's a world of difference, these guys were REAL racers, running tyres that you and I would actually pit after one lap saying theres something wrong :D running stock everything pretty much, and absolutely fearless on frames and engines that would be heavy and handle like a pig compared with the average road bike, and as Gaz points out - with the bus stop.. those men, they're total heros hey! Allerton did do a 1:09... bloody cool!

[racegodr1]

Updated Rules...
We will after talks with Teams and Distribitous be running Superstock 1000 Rules and a Modified production Class as well
Support races Friday and Saturday are:

New Era 1 and 2
600 Superstock

We also have Castrol returning as main Naming rights Sponsor!!

More meetings this week and next.Hopefully release in AMCN and Rapid within 2 weeks and website.

[jasonbw]

Awesome news! so the modified production would run as a support (fri/sat) or in the main race?

[jasonbw]

Hey any of you real racers happen to have Wayne Clarkes email addy?

[WET4URacing]

email wasnt about when he was around.

[racegodr1]

No, Modified will run the 6 Hour with Superstock bikes.
The whole idea is to showcase the bikes and to project to all spectators and future purchases of these bikes that they only need a few mods to be
very fast around a race track.

And most important in this so called "Economic climate" that people don't need to purchase another bike just to do the Endurance race (Races) that are planned for 09 and beyond. All about keeping costs down.

[jasonbw]

email wasnt about when he was around.

he's not that long out from it, yeah gone from the endurance racing but he was racing harleys here not that long ago...till he get busted for something :D I'll call Stay Upright then.

Methinks if he was given the right connections at the right time he would have been at the top... top bloke.

[Dunno]

Wayne Clarke was a 6 Hour winner in 82 riding with WG at Amaroo. Got this one on VHS. Make no mistake he was at the top, but it was a very competetive time in Aust bike racing.

he was at the top of harley racing too. i was in the middle of that class when i had a go. it was fun.
he had all the connections and rode always at the front. he showed me a bit back in the 90's

[jasonbw]

COOL, you were racing with him!!! sweet! That would have been an experience racing back then...
Awesome Dunno, that one I have to see too :) :) :)
My family used to arrange his travel for him via Ansett to his overseas races, we used to keep in contact but eventually time won, was great to see him at a Stay Upright course, got a lot of time for that guy!

[sbutler]

I use to race against him too. Bloody good rider & nice bloke! He would always finish top 4:notworthy:, I'd finish top 10:crysmiley:

it's interesting to note that the last 6 hour won by simon thomas in 2000 at the creek on an R1 could have also been won on his 1980 CB1100R RSC as he laps both bikes at the same lap time: IN THE WET!
how much will entry fees be?
what support races or 'normal racerbikes' will be held leading up and can they be entered into seperately without entering the 6 hour? at what entry fee?
will you invite one support grid of historics in for fun seeing they were very popular at the island WSBs and motogp?

Yep binkings right but I'd guess it's a world of difference, these guys were REAL racers, running tyres that you and I would actually pit after one lap saying theres something wrong :D running stock everything pretty much, and absolutely fearless on frames and engines that would be heavy and handle like a pig compared with the average road bike, and as Gaz points out - with the bus stop.. those men, they're total heros hey! Allerton did do a 1:09... bloody cool!


This is the bikes that Dowson & Doohan did those times on, & in road trim!!
Sort of makes me very humble.:( Look at the HP & then look at the weight!!

[zoltanp1967]
