Does anyone know why the plan to run the 3 si rounds over two weeks was dropped?

Cause you are to short to get there quick enough by running

Does anyone know why the plan to run the 3 si rounds over two weeks was dropped?From what I understand it was never a firm plan - it was just one of the options, which they chose not to go with.

Isn't there a recession happening?

Who can afford to do all 3 rounds??

if you want 5 rounds of nationals 3 weeks have to be somewhere. are you supposed to race for 6 days out of 7 days??? or what hold the nzgp or superbike races on a monday. bwahahaha.

if you want a 4 round nats series then be my guest, have it all in two weeks.

I'll quote you on that Kick. Lets see what numbers go south.

Don't wanna be a naysayer, but most people are finding times very tight/hard at the moment. Is a 50mm diameter medal worthy of spending a small fortune?
You're probably right, I might not go south....... and you know I've only got 1/2 a brain........

The original provisional dates looked quite workable, levels sat/sun, teretonga wed followed by ruapuna sat/sun. With it not being dark till 10ish in Invers at that time of year running that round till even 8.30 would have allowed the meeting to be condensed into 1 day without losing anything. Crowds for a midweek twilight meet may have also suprised. 5 days racing in 9 days sounds allot more affordable than 6 in 16 days. The same applies for riders travelling north it ridiculous that the two rounds aren't grouped together.

Mate youd be amazed how fast I can run when being chased, yet still I retain the ability to not only run but also get the last word in whilst doing so.

Well we already have the required 10 outfits to make up the grid at all 3 SI rounds

so you lose all test days.

i can tell you there are a few people who live across the road from teratonga who seem to be rather decent about dealing with the track and not moaning shitless like the rest of nz. racing till 10pm is ludacris and likely to not sit well with people.

if they cant make 2 round on consective weeks in the north island, this is just wishful thinking
