New format for clubmans.

[dangerous]

Post classic seems to be a target for change but the biggest problem is im not convinced its broken,damaged or needs changed.

Clubmans bike run around the track with no champ points and no real purpose.

My defination of postclassic is time period racing of older generation bikes(eg carb big bangers and screaming little rippers).If we start adding newer generation machines we risk knocking away the tail of the field who have put time and effort into their higher maintence labour of love race machine.

I gather things are different up north, down here clubmans is simpily for anyone or any thing that just want to have a play, often on there road bikes.
So hows it work up there?

What changes do you refer to in posties? I am unawear of anything new... IMO Id like to see wheels NOT open but to remain as the factory had them.
When you say 'start adding newer generation machines' do you mean pre89 or other?
89er's would be great, not many down here as yet so they usualy join the F class they fit or clubmans.
Adding 89 to 82 is a bugger as they make me look slow LOL... but there just isent enough of them for there own race.

HELLO

I was under the impression that 13 year olds could race with parental permission. Get them on a RS125 GP bike ASAP. MotoAcademy is setup just for this.

Will be helping his old man with finding a bike and setting up for him next year As he will be turning 12 shortly, so it wont be till the end of next year that he becomes eligible to road race, if that is the case !
Meanwhile they are concentrating on getting him to Number 1 in NZ in the 11-13 MX nationals !

Which brings me to the point of development classes !
All this talk of changing C/M or any of the other classes for that matter aint gonna do nothing for developement, it's only gonna be any good for us old fellas joining the sport !
Like any sport, rugby, soccer, MX, you name it, they have developement programmes availible from a very young age !
Like Skunk says MotoAcademy is set up for just this !
Perhaps helping them and others in promoting the young, might get the flow on of some real NZ talent reaching the nationals in a few years ! (where there is a problem)
Sure it will take a while to flow on, but if nothing is done soon, I might even be able to have a crack at a podium at the nats bwahahahahahaha
ok i jest ! But if i fed the top 6 or 7 some tainted chicken the night before mmmmm !
