Motard scarcity at VMCC. Options?

[Quasievil]

Do not bung them in with F3 please just get rid of them to allow more track time for proper bikes.

Ah ha ........why not get rid of old F3 bikes? and make room for modern machinery, who wants to watch a 1980's slow pieces of junk anyway?

Get my point?

[Quasievil]

Clive,no doubt you have some contact details for the Motarders,send them out a letter,stating you front up in numbers,or they will loose their spot

Bears,now theres an idea

Good luck sorting this one

Clive if this is available I would dearly love this information, I know legal shit might get in the way, but I can market the event big time !
I can also use it to promote the Motard site.

if its possible let me know, perhaps even ask them if they will allow the transfer of info to me.

We will have contact info for those who have entered our events previously. We probably can't pass it on to you without consent but could pass a link, or your contact info onto them without any privacy hassles.

I'm glad you're kidding.


You are kidding right? Otherwise my plans for World NZ domination end right here.

Or perhaps an oily rag Tarders special !

The bikes are not all old or slow. An F3 grids are normally full. So what is your point??

[Benk]

Can we have a poll?

My Point is that you where clearly having a go with your "proper bike" comment

If you have a attitude about motards then keep it to yourself.

Fact is its a fast growing sport which is a winner all round so get used to it.

[Tony.OK]

Do not bung them in with F3 please just get rid of them to allow more track time for proper bikes.

Tony.you cant just bung them back in F3,as the speed difference at the end of the front & rear straights is down right dangerous,not to mention the weird lines they take

Didn't that get a bite

We have 9 entered in 2 classes for this weekend.

So they'll run as 1 mixed class?

Was surprised by the same thing at PMCC rnd 2 when they ran 2 classes with only a handfull in each.

9 is like top level National SBK's anyway...............that means they're special

[k14]

I'm surprised they don't have the support. Last weekend at levels I think there were at least 15-20, didn't count but if someone knows some more precise number then pipe up. They are usually a well subscribed class at all tracks down here so I'm unsure why they aren't as popular up north!

[sharky]

Perhaps it's because Motards are supposed to be run on tracks part tarmac and part dirt and this is now being offered elsewhere.

[Nicksta]

i think you'll find motards are like F1 right now.. a few less riders considering the times... i've seen huge motard classes... if they dont like the long straights, how about running the old club circuit and doing more laps like the winter series 2 years ago so they get equal track time?

I disagree with including them in F3, it is already oversubscribed as it has protwins and F3 in one and having to have a qualify basis with only 35 grid positions. There is no suitable "road" class and i for one am happy to see them get the track time they pay for in their own class as long as the minimum number of entrants show up.

[Quasievil]

You will find that Motards dont want to run with F3 anyway, I dont.


Last year R6? the short track using the infield dummy grid was cool but we should get the same track time ie 6 laps on this track was kinda well short!
maybe that short track again but double the laps to 12............hell 10 would do.

I've posted about this in the Motard section but no-one has turned up to offer suggestions. The question is, why don't we get bigger Motard fields at the Actrix Winter Series? Personally I am a fan and have defended their inclusion for years but this is getting laughable given the size of the fields. Any realistic ideas about how we can draw them in, or do we write the class off and explore other options? I can hear The Bears pounding at the door, or perhaps the Post Post-Classics? Do we cancel the class and use the time for extra races in the other classes?

Seems simple enough too me.Run both classes together on the club circuit with a seperate flag for group 2,20 secs delay 8 laps.Incidentally according to the confirmed entries list,Pre 82 senior=1 entry,Pre82 junior=2 entries,125GP=8 entries,250 Minilites=5 entries.Incidentally,Dont mean too bring this up here,But owing to the fact I have emailed the club twice and received NO reply,What is happening with the wet tyre rule for 250 minilites,It needs to be cleared up ASAP,To avoid a dispute on race day
