Yes , Max Mosley has conceived a new points system , fastest doesn't mean you win.
I,m riding down to levels tomorrow to watch the Sunday races. Should be good looking at the close times of the top 5.

Tigcraft frame? [rs 125 forks,swingarm??]Yep, Tigcraft frame. I think (but could be wrong) that the swingarm is unique as well.

The design on that website is diabolical. Not very professional for trying to promote the sport of Motorcycle Racing in NZ.

That site came about because of a total lack of any support from MNZ over the previous 2 years, it is privately controlled by people that care and want to get something out there so people know whats going on.

I think they are doing a great job dude, its just a shame that NZ doesn't see bikes as being important enough to invest proper money.

Thats old news though..................at least we have people there willing to pass on whats going on at our National event.

Yeah that website is very well done, Ian does it free of charge and reports live from the track pretty much straight after the races are done. Pretty good in my opinion.

Jason's bike is as said, Tigcraft frame (based on RS125) with a modified R6 swingarm and lots of brembo/ohlins etc goodies. Very nice and very fast, I'd say he will take 2 more wins today on it.

P.S. Crashes suck, 3rd lap of qualifying. Nearly had a highside and then thought I'd saved it but it went into a lowside. Just got bike back to a rideable state (lots of duct tape) at 6 last night. Hopefully today is a little better :)

Yea, saw it last night after the Tweet came through to the cellphone... just guessed it was a typo and Strouds time should have been .121 vice .112.

And while the site may not be overly pretty, it gets the job done and whoever it is is going out of his way to get the information that we want out to people, so good on him/her.

Why don't you contact Ian Dawson who runs the site and let him know you observations, he's a motorcyclist, not a interweb guru and what he sees and what you see will be different. I've emailed him several times, politely of course, and offered my suggestions and he's always been accomadating.
Better than knocking it here too

Yep, I think we have to keep this positive, the guy thats doing the website is a legend!! We would be totally in the dark other wise. I see the NZGP is on at 4pm on TV1 today.

Ian's doing an awesome job getting results out, the odd missed decimal point is hardly a hanging offence, he also has to often juggle several jobs at meetings which adds pressure. The layout of the site pretty straightforward, can't see a problem.
