TWENTY FIVE Years of Bucket Racing
1988 to 2013
Bucket Racing Association of NSW celebrate 25 years of Bucket Racing.
However an excellent Dinner laid on by BRA President Ken Lindsay and his Mom Doreen and plenty liquid refreshments set the scene for a great evening that went on well into the night.
Sunday morning back to Kens place for an excellent breakfast and some more conversation ranging from serious to hilarious. However the weather refused to play ball and by midday everyone headed home.
Many Thanks to Ken and his Mom Doreen for their excellent meals and hospitality.

Great Start for Supermono Racers
The Supermono race bikes first outing in Motolites on the South Circuit at SMB had a brilliant start finishing 2nd overall with Steve Kairl on board. Steve on a 150cc Supermono and Raymond Perez (197 Supermono) fought race long duels with each other and the more established Motolite runners. The Supermono missed out on a double podium when Raymond stopped, out of fuel on the last lap.
Some brilliant riding by Steve kept the 150cc Supermono in the hunt to bring it home to a well deserved 2nd place.

This Could be You!
Get yourself a
Honda CBR 125
or similar and Race in the Commuterlite Class.
Be like Last Years Champion Ron Carrick and race in the cheapest, fastest growing class in Motorcycle Racing.
Commuterlites
The QBE BARRY SHEENE FESTIVAL OF SPEED.
Once again current and former
BRA riders excelled throughout the various classes at this
unique historic motorcycle event.
The P6 125cc Class was dominated by BRA riders #79 Stephen Kairl, #93 Paul Borg and #69 Jason Dunn finishing in that order. Newcomer Anthony Marsden finished in 6th place in his first race on an Honda RS 125 steadily improving his lap times with setup help from Col Dunn.
Post Classic and Forgotten Era Class 125cc. Stephen Kairl also won this class on his Honda MTR125 with another Bucket racer Queenslander Ron Carrick finishing second.
Post Classic 250cc. 1st. Peter Wade got his Suzuki 250cc really singing to put one over on the Yamahas.
Forgotten Era 350cc saw Stephen Kairl finish 2nd in this Class bringing his tally to 2 wins and a 2nd making him the most successful rider of the meeting.
Post Classic 500cc. 2nd Peter Wade Suzuki 500cc.
Period 6 500cc Class. Regular Motolite racer Michael McLean won on his Honda 400 sponsored by Whites Racing Products.
Pre Modern F1 had regular One hour rider Alex Pickett of Cycle Torque doing incredible lap times on Brian Mowles rather standard Honda 900 to finish an excellent 3rd against much hotter machinery.
It all goes to prove if you want to be fast,
learn on and race a little-un, it's all about corner
speed and making the most of the power you've got.
Learning to race on powerful bikes with too much
power for your ability just gives you bad habits and
scares the crap out of you. Power Corrupts.
So if you want to sharpen your race craft and cornering skills get yourself a CommuterLite, Superlite or Motolite and do some real racing. Ant West, Joshua Brooks and Chris Vermulen raced the Moriwaki 80s (Motolite) when they first hit road racing, look where they are now, good enough for them, surely good enough for you.
If you can ride a Bucket fast then your on the way!
