Round Four of 2019
Mitas Tyres Bucket Racing Championship.
Races held at Wakefield Park 12 - 13 October 2019
The penultimate round of the Mitas Tyres bucket racing championship was held at the ever popular Wakefield Park race track which is 10 mins drive outside the country town of Goulburn.
It was a weekend of terrific racing with four championship races held over the two days plus the One-hour enduro event raced on Sunday for the Buckets.
Despite weather reports, to the contrary Saturday remained dry but was bitterly cold.
After a slight delay on Sunday morning due to fog it turned out to be a glorious sunny day perfect for racing. A great weekend of close racing with a big thank you to all the marshalls, officials and competitors who make this event grow bigger and better each Year.
Pole Positions
Motolite: 68 Shane Wilcox, Honda RS85, 1:20.8840
Superlite: 38 Junior Murphy, Honda CB185, 1:24.4390
Commuterlite AM:
45 Chris Young, YFZR125, 1:28.9940
Commuterlite PRO: 11 Barry Young, CBR 125, 1:29.2260

Round two of the Mitas Tyres Bucket racing Championship held at Sydney Motorsport Park South Circuit
On cool overcast morning the competitors prepared for the days racing. To the dismay of many a light drizzle started up just before practice and with the track neither wet nor dry practice / qualifying was treated with some caution....

Bucket Race Bikes Wanted!
If you have an unwanted Bucket Race bike lying about and would like to move it on send the details with a few decent photos to the Webmaster and we will put it up in the "For Sale" page on this website. We have had a number of enquiries about availability of secondhand ready to race bikes and donor bikes suitable for building a Bucket Race bike.
Commuterlites, Superlites and Motolites are all in demand.
If you have an unfinished project or suitable bits and pieces send us the details and if applicable we will put them on as well. Its a shame to have some of these bikes and parts languishing unused in the back of garages.
Chris "Popper Bear" Sculley
It is with great sadness that I share the news of the recent passing of Chris "Popper Bear" Sculley, after a brief battle with cancer.
Chris was a former BRA member who had the reputation of not only being a fierce competitor and a very respected and accomplished tuner with numerous race wins attributed to his expertise, but more importantly one of the nicest persons you could meet and one who was always keen to help fellow competitors.
Post BRA, with his competitive spirit somewhat subdued, Chris turned his love of Bucket racing and tuning to that of going on road rides in the countryside of the Southern Highlands and Blue Mountains. He was accompanied on these rides with both old and new friends as his personality quickly formed new relationships.
Chris decided in his last few weeks that he didn't want to have a funeral, he always was a "stubborn bastard", (or should I say a strong willed person with dogged determination). However, a memorial road ride is organised for those who want to celebrate his life, catch up with old friends and reminisce.
I'm sure there are many of us that would love to share a special story or two about Chris.

Round One of 2019 Bucket Racing Championship
Round One Wakefield Park 2019.
First meeting for 2019 was held at the ever popular Wakefield Park circuit. With a good entry everyone was keen to get a good start to their championship year.
Weather looked dodgy early in the morning but cleared up to a warm sunny day.
A big welcome to the newcomers to bucket racing this year. They are mostly in the Commuterlite classes and the Motolite class.
MOTOLITE:
Newcomer to Motolites #75 Glenn Kelliher wasted no time making his mark with three wins on his four stroke RS CRF150r. Shane Wilcox riding injured was runner up followed closely by #83 Edward Marsden both riding Honda RS CR85s Next up came #57 Stuart Ellis (Yamaha YZF150) followed by #11 Michael McLean (Honda CBR150). Out of luck pair #171 Mike Child and #94 John Olip had 2 DNFs and languished at the bottom of the table with 15 points each.
SUPERLITE PRO:
Junior Murphy (BBR Honda CB185) got his year off to a great start winning the three races but #169 Ian Gregory (Honda CB185) made him work hard for the wins. Ian finished second with #62 Jim Murphy (Honda XL185)Third. #65 Tim Smith (Honda CB185 )was looking good for third overall but discovered his rear tyre was punctured when getting ready for Race three and despite frantic efforts to fit another wheel he ran out of time. He finished fourth with #98 Zac Perrington (Kawasaki KH100) next.
COMMUTERLITE PRO:
Leanne Nelson #172 won the three races from #11 Barry Young, #30 Garth Olsson was third with #66 Andy Lewer fourth all riding Honda CBR125s. #4 Martin Kraaymaat on the sole Yamaha YFZR125 kept the Yamaha flag flying to finish fifth followed by #67 Richard Draper CBR125.
COMMUTERLITE AM:
Once again another rider to win all three races #149 Brent Dawson laid down the gauntlet with the three wins. #73 Daniel Florance Had his best results to top off the day in second. #29 Craig Hitchcock finished third with the fast improving #37 Luke Young fourth. #76 Craig Dawson fifth. Newcomer #222 Andrew Hollier got into the swing of things to finish sixth ahead of #48 Ben Hamer and another newcomer #102 Kim Watt. All above riding the ubiquitous Honda CBR125s. Next along came the sole Yamaha YFZR125 of #93 Jason Davies.
And so a great days racing ended. Many thanks to the flaggie’s, scrutineers, the PCRA and MA officials who make it all happen.
