Taupo VMX has secured DIGGER McEWAN or as some know it the Taupo moto X track for a 2 day international VMX event at easter 2011 :D

The event will be run on Saturday April 23rd and Sunday April 24th giving people chance to travel on good friday and easter monday.

We hope to attract riders from the All across NZ , Australia and possibly further afield :D

It is currently still in the planning stages but the venue and date are confirmed.

Depending on interest proposed classes will be Pre 70 to pre 86 in all capacities .

The venue lends itself to being a very Vintage friendly track with possible variations to suit the pre 78 bikes and some of the bigger challenges in for the later classes.

Due to the Easter being a very busy time in the Taupo district it would pay to book accomodation early if you are keen to ride this event.

Entry forms will be available later in the year and updates posted on this forum.

VMX Report >>
THE SUN WAS SHINNING AT TAUPO.

 

AS Mark of  ‘ELL RACING’ fame reported, it was KIWI VINTAGE staff and many riders who arrived at DIGGER McEWEN PARK with much trepidation, following the rain that preceded the meeting and its reputation, But it turned out a fantastic day and the feed-back has been all positive.

 

Big Thanks’ to all involved from Taupo, TM Bill, Sword, Darryl, Geraldo, Stu  and the helpers that Bill rounded up to groom the track and surroundings. Hopefully we will be back next year.

 

The day was topped off by another showing of the VMX family generosity, during the CHERRY FAMILY AUCTION, Bill and his side kick Geraldo did a great job of running the Auction.

Wayne and the Cherry family are very grateful of all your support.  

 

Thank you to all who donated goods, and all who brought them, Steve even managed to buy back his own offerings.

 

To those successful bidders i will be contacting you individually with your amount owing.

 

To those who asked how they could help, Wayne’s a/c details as follows’

1968 V4 Yamaha of only 125cc capacity

Classic Festival invaded by star British Riders

 

The 31st Classic Motorcycle Festival at Pukekohe on February 6-7, 2010 has attracted a group of 14 British riders and bikes, including the top European Classic Racer, Lea Gourlay who will be racing a 1968 Moto-Paton 500.

 

This bike holds the Isle of Man lap record for Classic bikes at over 110 mph and has been bought to New Zealand for the first time by its owner, Roger Winfield.

 

Also racing at Pukekohe will be former Grand Prix stars Paul Smart and Stan Woods, who were both team-mates of Barry Sheene in Team Suzuki in the 1970s.

 

The centenary of the famous Rudge motorcycle will be celebrated with a huge display of both racing and road machines.  Before the Second World War Rudge was one of the most popular bikes on the New Zealand market, but sadly the company did not re-start production when peace returned.

 

Included will be the famous ex- factory 1932 Rudge that won an incredible four New Zealand Tourist Trophy races, all held on Waiheke Island in the 1930s.

 

This Rudge was first raced to Grand Prix victory in Europe by Graham Walker, the famous father of Formula One commentator Murray.  It was bought to New Zealand by Sid Moses who twice won the NZ TT riding this Rudge.

 

Rudge was famous not only for its high quality but also for pioneering the use of four valves per cylinder and four-speed gearboxes, when most bikes were two valves and three-speeds.

 

The Classic Racing Register has again scored another first with a demonstration by four times World Champion Hugh Anderson of a 1968 V4 Yamaha of only 125cc capacity.  The bike is being provided by Dutch enthusiast Ferry Brouwer and was the ‘blue-print’ of the fearsome Grand Prix 500s that ruled Moto GP until the arrival of the four-stroke era in 2002.  The water-cooled two-stroke engine revs to over 17,000 rpm and makes 42 bhp. This equates to 336 bhp/litre at a time when Formula One car engines were happy to top 135 bhp/litre.  The nine-speed gearbox helped the rider keep the engine in its rather narrow power band.

 

The Yamaha V4 was so successful that Bill Ivy and Phil Read scored a first and second in the World 125 Championship of 1967 and reversed the result in 1968.  Between them they won nearly every GP event in both years.

 

In 1967 Bill Ivy set the first 100 mph lap of the Isle of Man by a 125, only 10 years after that speed had been set by a 500cc Gilera.  His lap record on the incredible Yamaha V4 stood for an astounding 21 years.

 

The festival has attracted over 250 riders from five countries, and will be running events for more than 350 bikes.
