PCRA Round 1 27-28th of Feb

[Mike]

Who is entering the 1st round of PCRA?

Me and JonoZRX will be making our racing debut. Both of us are pretty nervous and were currently spending a lot of hours in the garage trying to get our bikes ready.

We were joking around one day about how crappy our bikes are and decided to come up with a team called 'Ghetto Racing'. Nothing serious just a bit of fun. We've been keeping track of our progress on a FB page. Jump on and have a look if your interested. We keep it pretty light hearted. Join up while you're there and make us feel popular :blumsmiley:

Cheers,
Mike.

[James]

[WET4URacing]

[sbutler]

Yep all the usual suspects will be there. Some on their same bikes, some on new ones.
Entry & garage done. See ya there. You'll have a great time.. What class & bikes are ya on??

[Mike]

[WET4URacing]

I'm in new era on a ZX6R.

[sbutler]

Yep pre modern, either way you'll have a ball.

[WET4URacing]

no just slow and steady this year
its gunna be fun . i have a pcra membership now so i'm in the points.

[Mike]

Yeah, thats the one :ayyy: Should probably learn to remember what class I'm in :D

[jonoZRX]

I'm in New Era (I think - bike is an '89 model) formula 3 on a VFR400. It will be my first race, so I'm currently shitting myself!

Edit - this depends on whether I get my brakes working in time. True to form, Mike has ruined them by merely looking at them :lmao:

[sbutler]

Nothing to be worried about Jono. Most guys know what they are doing & look after each other.
Although F3 is a hotly contested class. And those buggers really punch ubove their weight, & are very fast, as are some of the 600s..
Just go out & do your best, Hold you line, dont try & rush anything, let it all happen & It'll be apples..
Come & say hi.

[jonoZRX]

Is anyone interested in sharing a garage? Mike and I have booked one for Friday, Saturday and Sunday, and we can fit another bike in there.

Yeah Greg[bones] is gonna try to get a RATs run going for this event. There are more than a few RATs racing now.
So drop in & say hi.

[MUZZ 36]

I will be there, the ZX-7R is at the ZENO workshop as we speak being fine tuned for the weekends racing.
Got to do something to try and fend off these WSB spec Wet4U bikes

[atoretto]

I'll be there at Wakefeild in new era 1.. Can't wait as the 1 hour was my first race ever and we did well to finish 4th overall. Looking forward to racing and learning more from you guys! Can't wait its gonna be a great year! See you there :eek:

Oh F**k! You & Paul, I thought this was gonna be my year to shine!!!:hissyfitsmiley:
I though you were riding the 10 in ASBC this year :thinking:
Well I'll have to just make the numbers up again.

[MUZZ 36]

Got to sell the 7 to go racing the 10
So while I still have it, might as well race it

[WET4URacing]

what about brett and nev and tomasetti and i hear more from QLD cuming. and young morris has found some more bits for his T model.

[SLAC]

Seems that last year may have been a good one for PCRA and publicity... More people want to race in it this year.. All good i say with the likes of you guys racing, it gives the novice like me a chance to follow (yeah right) and learn heaps. Just gotta get another bike with a bit more balls. I'm hunting a 750 now. Fingers crossed. Dads entering on the little yammie 600..

[WET4URacing]

Slac , nev still has the YZF 750 still for sale. it will be at WP as his spare/wet bike. its a bargain .

[SLAC]

Yeah saw it, good looking and worth every penny.. Just not worth me losing what little nuts i have left and having a new arsehole made by the minister of war & money.
I will find it hard to tell her i need 3 bikes but can only ride one at a time.... Women dont understand

[WET4URacing]

i'm lucky nearly all mine are green so she has no idea when a new 1 arrives. i just keep movin em around. bit like there shoes, all hidin in the cupboard and we cant see em.

[SLAC]

LMAO -- So far all zuki's but she is learning and she parks her car next to them..

[jasonbw]

Might be joining the green camp this year (not this round tho), wanting to have a play on a clapped out ZX6 in PM2. :D ohhh yeah.

[WET4URacing]

everyone is wanting to race the old bangers now they have seen how much FX & ASBK are asking. and we get 2 rounds at the premier track . ASBK dont even get 1.

[WET4URacing]

oh yeh and green is good. mite have some go fast bits for a F model hangin about to jase

[Dunno]

I'll get some up soon - it's a bit naked at the moment. You'll be pleased to note that I've kept the "double pouch for extra comfort" sticker on there :lmao:

Nice work :ayyy: That sticker is heritage listed.

[jasonbw]

oh yeh and green is good. mite have some go fast bits for a F model hangin about to jase

:D I like go fast bits.... will let you know anyway if I get this puppy, green is good.

[WET4URacing]

Thort i'd do a bit on my own pair. Dug the spare out today to let her breathe again , its been since the last BSM she has seen the Chq'd flag . The old girl is my wet bike and i am fixin it so the pair can interchange wheels (1 has marchesini's , the other marvic's) so if i have a problem with either (there old and if you go to a race meeting with only 1 u can be dissappointed) i can throw wheels at either. Callipers can stay on and pinch bolts dont hold the axle just the spacer and the nut.

[jasonbw]

I can see why you were shaking with excitement when you took the pic Wetty!

[WET4URacing]

sorry i'll fix that . what a crap shot. too many turkeys when i loaded it and it looked ok tanked
fuk even that 1 is not much better

[Mr Bones]

Yeah as Mr Butler mentioned I'm keen to get a group together & go cheers on our Rats brethren.
See Rats rides.

[medic!]

I've put my hand up for flag duties.

[Mike]

I've put my hand up for flag duties.

Cool :ayyy: Keep an eye out for a guy wobbling around on a white ZX6R. That'll be me :cool:

[KTM_Paul]

Entry Forms are out for the Barry Sheene! :ayyy: My Return to racing! :cool:

[Cedric]

Might be a silly question but does one have to join the PCRA to race with them? I'm already a member of St George, and I remember reading in the Barry Sheene program a couple of years back about riders racing in that event, but being from of different clubs. Just wondering how that works exactly...

[WET4URacing]

only if you want to b in the years points.

[Mike]

Bad news. I broke my finger a couple of months ago. Turns out the medical advice I received at the time was pretty shonky and my finger is wrecked. The first stage to fixing it involves keeping it dead straight in a splint for 3 months. Which means no MC racing for at least that long :(

Pretty shattered right now as I'd been building up to this for over a year now. But I'll still be out there offering pit bitch services to Jono and Craig. See you's all there :ayyy:

Thats really shitty news mate. Hope the finger heals alright, must have been a nasty break.

[sbutler]

Good on ya Paul, we've missed ya..

[Mike]

If you wanna finish building it.. I've run out of play money now I've had to have things done on my finger.

[SLAC]

Building it... Thought it was race ready? What do you have to do?

[WET4URacing]

well someones doin something rite . the premodern/ new era class is full up.
the forgotten era race at the GP was full .
are new bikes too expensive to race anymore?

[Cedric]

For what? Round1 or BS?

[WET4URacing]

rnd 1. most PCRA racers will wait to see if both there bike and themselves will cum out clean on monday b4 entering BSM

[Mike]

Building it... Thought it was race ready? What do you have to do?

Its pretty much done. Was going to finish it this weekend but obviously not happening anymore. So I've got 12 weeks to finish it for the next WP round in May.

[sbutler]

That could be it, but I suspect there is more to it?? Maybe cost, maybe dates, maybe location, Maybe the promotor. I dont know? But there seems to be an influx into New era & pre modern.

[Cedric]

Any of you guys know if there's a standby list or something like that for late entries? Just found out I can make this one now, 5 days after entries closed.... wanted to know if it's ever been done before I call Jan and ask a stupid question..

[WET4URacing]

call jan. there old bangers and some dont last too long

I've withdrawn so thats one open spot at least.

[WET4URacing]

just got this



Guys,


the PCRA is please to announce that for the first time Historic bike racing will be screened on free to air television. A recent deal with the producers of a soon to be broadcast show, Power Wheels TV on HD CH44 will cover Easter Sunday's racing of the BSFOS. This will then be converted into a 1/2 hr production which will be screened on the 15th,22nd & 29th May as well as periodically throughout 2010.


Power Wheels TV (HD Ch44) will be broadcast across the east coast of Australia with a potential viewing audience in excess of over 3 million people.


As part of the deal, the PCRA will also get a master copy of a DVD made of the event as well as a number of high quality photo's.


So polish your bikes & clean your leathers as you may end up on tv or be part of the DVD!

[WET4URacing]

and this


Guys,


It has become a hot topic of conversation, as to whether a rider on a New Era/Pre Modern bike can enter the BSFOS using a Historic One Event License. After consulting our MA delegate, the committee was informed that the license relates to the event not the type of bike entered. Thus, a New Era rider can enter his bike in a historic event such as the BSFOS using this type of license.


Don't forget the 21 day application window.....


Keeping you informed.

[sbutler]

This could be your big break into TV now Paul. The new James Bond perhaps??
I wanted them to do this for the last race at OP, but it fell on deaf ears. Still good news though. Forward steps by the club...

[WET4URacing]

just glad its at the creek and not WP. dont want to be off the podium on tv.

[KTM_Paul]

I reckon we'll be lucky to get any airtime! they'll probably just concentrate on the Old(er) stuff than our bikes! :(
Anyway, got my bike booked for a service, got the Hotel room beside the Creek booked (saves an hour driving each morning and home again) now I just need to get the race licence and place for the track day and races booked .... god this is race is going to send me broke! :eyecrazy:

[jonoZRX]

this race is going to send me broke! :eyecrazy:
My credit card has copped a battering :warning::lmao:

[sbutler]

My credit card has copped a battering :warning::lmao:
Welcom to racing Jono

[WET4URacing]

My credit card has copped a battering :warning::lmao:

if u cant afford to do it dont. i've never and wont ever race with a credit card. thats plain dumb

[jonoZRX]

You should be a financial adviser wetty :ayyy:

[sbutler]

I run on credit card Jono, but once its spent thats it. Pay it off & go again. Thats the only way I can do it.

[WET4URacing]

You should be a financial adviser wetty :ayyy:

i've given up with financial advice and giving credit. if you dont have cash dont call me or order is my answer to that ever asked question. CASH is KING

[SLAC]

Well the old man had a meet that he would rather forget.. Started by locking the keys in the car that was fully loaded at 5am. We got there at 9am but sorted for pratice.. Practice went terrible, he was doing 1.29's :confused: He went out in qualifing and only managed to get to 1.18.. Just before the 1st race he decided to put the bike in gear (accidental) while the tyre warmers were still on and fuked my warmers....:BangHead::BangHead:
He managed to get down to a 1.12, not to bad for a 57yr old... But this was as good as it got... Next race he clipped the back of another rider and binned the bike pretty bad. He broke his shoulder blade and half the bike. Its mainly heavy cosmetic damage, but enough for nearly all new glass, new tank, new bars, new master cylinder, new tacho/speedo, new front brake lines, new rear sub, new rear sets... I think thats about it untill i pull it apart.. Pics soon...

PS - Wetty was flying out there. He had too there was some fast dudes on his arse. 1.03. New lap record and 2 secs of the Superbike times on a 20yr old bike.. Well done mate it was good to watch..
