Hey Russell and fellow blokart grinners’! Still being a real new kid on the block I was wondering if ABC would consider the following idea if enough members were interested.

Murray Howell 31 January 2008 15:16

Just an update, The windfinder forecast has reduced winds for the weekend. Saturday 6 knots easterly, with Sunday 9 knots easterly. So make sure you bring those 5.5's.

Blokart User 07 August 2009 09:12

Hi Murray, Glad to hear you are enjoying the blokart and your daughter is also getting into it.

Originally sent by: RODNEY Hi Russel, I am thinking of bringing the family up for a sale from Tauranga along with Don, so I hope there will be a good turn out from your local members.

Thanks for the comment Stewart. I can assure you it is still fun. Sunday definitely showed this.

smokin' blokarter 17 September 2008 08:05

Just a short note to say thanks to BBC. Just me and Uncle Dave Orca turned up from ABC.

Great day at the beach. 15 turned up for the fine weather, 15 - 18 knts winds, smooth hard sand with plenty of room for a few quick races and just flat out hooning down the beach.

smokin' blokarter 04 December 2006 07:32

Sunday saw about 20 ABC members turn up to westerly 15 knot winds for a perfect day of cruising. Toy Boy was the early arrival but with a steady stream of arrivals hard on his tail.

It was a fantastic weekend, not only for those sailing but for the support crew as well.

Rowena Lennox-Robertson 25 February 2008 20:30

To all, Couldn't resist the urge to chip in.

Mr Blokart America 10 July 2007 03:29

We had our first scheduled race day on Sunday. However due to the 5–6knots wind we abandoned the official segment and had a fun race day.

Don McKenzie 13 March 2007 07:36

It’s on the website, hopefully it’s marked in your calendar already – the ABC Xmas Picnic is on 14 December and is nearly here!

El Zorro 27 November 2008 19:20

 Hey Hot Dog, Just got back from down south so still catching up with all the latest diatribe. Looks like I ruffled your feathers, not quite sure how? (possibly standing on a beach in 35knots?)

What do you get when you put a fine Auckland day together with a 10-12 Kt wind, some good food & whole bunch of keen blokarters? Answer: A MAGIC DAY

El Zorro 14 December 2008 21:14

It’s on our website calendar, so hopefully it’s marked in your calendars too – the ABC Xmas Picnic is on 13 December!

Holy crapoly! Sorry to have stirred up such a storm in a tea cup! This has become bigger than Hurricane Ike. Lets just go back to why this whole "discussion" came about.

Allan Levet 16 September 2008 08:26

As Nick stated I chewed through my tyres pretty quickly but what is sailing with a 5.5m like? OK I'll get to first question are they quicker, well yes and no.

Originally sent by: Russell Hi, Tides are wrong so unless like Ray you want to blokart into the sunset we will meet at Bruce Pulman Park at 1 pm.

Richard Blokart NZ Egroup Manager 30 November 2006 00:36

I have been quite up until this point on the 5.5m issue, watching intently on the dicussion. Its actually quite ammusing watching two themes develop

Ross Vickers 18 May 2008 08:44

Hi Richard, I did come back to you to say I would summarise the situation this weekend, and that there was no feedback from the International group requesting any changes.

El Zorro 17 May 2008 12:43

Hi Everyone, my 2c to this discussion. 1) I believed IBRA was going to modify the rules regarding the 5.5m to clarify some issues. They are:

Hi all BBC members and fellow Blokart enthusiasts, Hope you have all had a great summer.

Wow, what a fantastic day. Seven students from Waiuku and goodness knows how many from McLean’s. There seemed to be kids all over the car park.

Rowena Lennox-Robertson 05 April 2009 16:35

HI Guys, I would be more than happy to add the Katalyst to the table. I think the same rules should apply. They are basic rules, this is just a bit of fun. I based the rules on the UK site.

Dave Griffin 23 January 2009 09:11

 I would hate to think that a formalized attempt at creating a speed record, stepped outside the definition of 'fun'. Naturally any such attempt would take into account public safety.

nonerd Last but not least 22 January 2009 11:50

What does it take to run a successful blokart event?

smokin' blokarter 23 November 2008 18:23

As I was being blown across the Matapihi railway bridge on Monday on my bike ride I thought this is a great wind for Blokarting. I wonder if I will get a text from Richard to say Baypark was open.

Stuart Cooney 29 October 2008 09:38

 Wheres the fun in this sport all I can see is politics I think thats why so many people have truned there back is because of the politics i thought this was meant to be fun racing but I guess...

Stewart Ireland 16 September 2008 22:20

Allan That's my point the rules are there to keep things safe.

Hey Theo, Couldn’t find the photo attached, but I sailed a legal 7m blokart sail at the ABC champs in 2005 at Bruce Pulman Park.

El Zorro 17 May 2008 13:06

Looks like the drought is over in Northland! I arrived Thursday night in fine weather which lasted about 2 hours.

smokin' blokarter 24 February 2008 19:53

Man that looked liked fun. Those excellent photos tell a great story. Very wet fun. Also love the photos at the airport.

Dave Pearson 16 July 2007 08:14

I arrived at 4:15 pm and sailed for 30 minutes on a 3m in the most fabulous wind at BPP since the Thursday before Christmas last year. I sailed every course available.
