Do the series sponsors put up the money for the extra coverage of the 1000/600 classes or do the rest of the classes get shafted for it?

As we all know the ones being shown now are coverage for the 600/1000 classes, and as burrt badger said above there will also be coverage of the other classes in a separate showing coming up.
This information was included in a release MNZ sent out ages ago, before the nationals. (please don't ask me to quote from it cos it was probably put in the bin ages ago!).

Wow ! Look mum, I'm on TV, just like Rossi !

Did I hear right , you guys had to give up prize money to get that ? You'd have to be real keen to take up road racing today. Remember when Wanganui was live on Boxing day , and if you were any good you could make a quid ? Gaz.

It used to be the best way to recover from Xmas Day.Watch the bikes and have a quiet couple.Then Julie ??? took over as head of sports programming on TV1 and decided it wasn't popular enough.WTF?

And they show two races for each of those classes as compared to normally one for each other class, so where is the extra money for the extra coverage of the 600/1000 class from?

I don't believe there is any of this "extra money". One would assume that by splitting up the coverage into 600/1000 and 125/f3/sidecars etc that you will see both 600/1000 races from one weekend in one show and all three races from the 125/f3/side cars in the other show that hasn't been screened yet. This is not fact, I don't know any more than the next guy it is just how I see it playing out.

Whats the big deal with prize money anyways, even when we got it, it wasn't as if it was a massive amount and most people ended up chucking it down their neck at the prize giving.

Why don't we all get off our asses and bring more money into our sport to help put more of our racing on TV!! I can get 4 hours of racing on TV for $13,000 - not to mention 'extra' slots when available. If each round charged its competitors ($13,000 / 140 odd) that works out to be $92.85 each person! If everyone is so adamant they want to see their mugs on TV, then why don't we fork out the extra dosh in our entries?? Afterall, with such talent blasting around the tracks nowadays, wouldn't TV coverage make sponsorship more attractive?? Come on dudes, it's only about an extra $465 a year for the Nats!! F@rk all compared to most peoples budgets!!

Why don't cha cry about it, saddle bags.
Does he have saddle bags?? I thought he was a big girls blouse??

I got some knee-sliders! Sold them for $20 at prizegiving and bought 3 beers... When I see F3/PT coverage on the telly I'll believe it.

Remember when Wanganui was live on Boxing day , and if you were any good you could make a quid ?.

That was great aye - A TVNZ cameraman was killed by a sidecar the last year of live coverage - not the official reason for ending coverage but you gotta wonder?

A sidecar went into the crowd at Porirua on maybe the last year it was held there,(mid 1970's) the meeting was cancelled.
I was coaxed out in pissing rain and managed pole in 410, but didn't really want to be there ! I think a young child was killled ? Gaz.

Wasn't that why you guys forfeited the prize money? Weren't you promised TV coverage instead of prize money?

Yeah Exactly.
We were told no prize money for the nationals for coverage of all the rounds

No TV camera man was killed at Wanganui. The sidecar concerned was piloted by a contributor to this thread and all people involved walked away from the incident.

I think it was a gravity trap that caused it!!!!!!! Top of the bridge leading onto the front straight it was. Spectacular viewing on TV it was too.

Have to say what for coverage there was that was great racing,S/bikes were nuts,Craig you are a madman,only a whisker from a nasty coming onto the start straight,.
The 125 race was bloody exciting too,Tim39 you looked great mate,little 125's looked like they were gonna get bounced off the track,great stuff:2thumbsup
One day maybe.....................................:blink:

20th April 2008, 17:02

Way better viewing than the 'Safety Car 400' in Hamilton...
Which I dont beleive was live cos Geoff Bryant said Tander had made a clean sweep winning race three...they still had three laps to go at that stage.
Back to the bikes.....I will never tire of watching those 600's/1000's ever.
Jay Lawrance getting an awesome rep from the comm's
Stroud taking two at the end of the back straight to claim first, didnt do so well in the 2nd but what a race!!....fucken loved it
The 125's?.... hell yeah....

Shame they didnt show you coming through the field in the TT!

But yeah the 1000s were mental, the amount of movement/headshake etc was impressive!

20th April 2008, 21:54

Was bloody good to see the 125's on! (I'm biased as but still...) There was closer racing in there than you normally see in the other classes, and it was even closer in the TT! which hopefuly they show later. I think it's great for our class and I look forward to seeing more coverage of the other classes.

good for the 125 class and good for the sport, so I'm happy!

U sure? - this is way back about '87-'88 - TV1 had a big tribute to the camerman who died at the scene (unless my memory has totally gone, which is possible). Then, no live coverage from then on.

Great coverage - sure put the cars to shame.
Interesting that the 2 fatalities were ignored and the last lap of the SS 600 race not shown - maybe a few words for the fallen riders at the end of the coverage would have been appropriate?

Er...... yes he was hit by a sidecar, but the tribute was of his life as a cameraman/soundman. He died in a helicopter crash.
They had to show the hit from the sidecar, as it must have been a highlight of his life............. :pinch:

TV one would. Maybe one person could buy the tape, then rip it and upload it to dvds for everyone? ....... but that would be copyright infringement......

But I hear they are going to play more of the season on sky instead of the minimal coverage it got on one?
