I watch them a Taupo...........a bit like watching paint dry!!!Oh yeah, I forgot - all you 'heros' never had to learn to race. You were World Class just after being born.Yes, but the back of F3 is a bit like watching...oh, you get it
In the riders seat
I can remember watching Dennis Charlett race one at Ruapuna as a support race for the DrinkDrive500, I think that was after he'd won his first NZ championship
What class will be dropped to fit them in at Wanganui?

Don't get me wrong Streetstock is a good entry level class!
I'm hoping to get a couple of people into it next year.
Boxing day is a spectators event..........and I'm pretty sure if motards don't get a dirt section streetstock won't get a class.........just my opinion.
Why don't you guys jump in F3 if they're that quick?????

Ignore me - shite day a work.
Personally I wish people would watch the Streetstock and Bucket classes as that is where are young talent is. Find them there and help them along.
Instead people seem to turn their backs and the talent is missed for years while everyone wrings their hands wondering when our next Aaron Slight/Simon Crafer etc will turn up. The answer is that without help early he/she will be too old.

Hardest part's coming down !
A girlfriend once asked " Why is it you seem to prefer to race, than spend time with me ?"
The answer was simple ! "I'll prolly get bored with racing too, once i've nailed it !"

I am not convinced it is, IT looks more dangerous for sure but I have yet to see any stats that prove it. Wanganui and Greymouth (the only street circuits I have raced) are both VERY much slower than any of the tracks I have raced (Taupo, Manfield, Ruapuna).
Street races are great fun too.
Wanganui has been running for 50 years I would like to see a comparison between Wanaganui and Pukekohe for Fatalities, Injuries over the last 50 years.

Yeah,That probably wouldnt be ant sort of indication as Wangas is only used once a year (apart from a couple of years during the 80s where they ran a mid winter meet) so youd be comparing approx 60 meetings at Wangas against probably 1000s at Puke over that 50 years and that maybe part of the reason they dont run streetstock 150 at Puke
If street racing wasnt more dangerous than closed circuit,Then why did the top riders in the country lobby MNZ to have Wangas dropped from the National championship ???

Whats wrong with giving the Streetstock class a go and then the organisers can at least see for themselves how it turns out and if its worth continuing it on as a class for Street Racing.
We can all voice our opinions about it but unless the organisers can see for themselves the outcome or running a Streetstock Race we will be left wondering. You have to start somewhere in Road Racing and not everyone can afford buying a bigger cc bike as their 1st bike to race.
Streetstock Racing is 1 class that is suppose to be a cheap and fun way of getting into Road Racing for the 1st time and you can only work your way up as experience and money allows you too.

Thanks dude, i don't know if i'll have a bike this year though, another rider is currently making the use of it and he may wish to race it at TRRS or wanga's if it ever actually happens or if he can enter in time, i've taken a bit of time off racing to get my trade Cert sorted and get some $$ saved to get into a bigger class
