Clarifying F3 rules for watercooled twins

[codgyoleracer]

Its part of the challenge. The more competitive and professional the racing becomes the more significant a part it plays.

Its easy really:
1) The persons at the front of the pack usually follow one option, they tend "interpret & apply the rules so as to keep them at the pointy end"

2) The persons that want to catch up & be at the pointy end have more choices - A) Interpret the rules to either allow them to get to the pointy end, or B) Use the rulebook against the persons at the pointy end to improve their own postion.

Easy really & all choices are fully understandable, - It is a competitve sport after all aye ?, & one of the good things about the F3 class is that there are NOT MANY RULES !

I think some people need to realise how MNZ works. Clearly a few here don't. MNZ is not Kev's, it's the MEMBERS who have ownership of it. (Check the constitution if you doubt this) And they have the responsibility to vote in who they feel fit for leadership and representation.
Having worked with the MNZ commissioners and board for the last few years it's sad to hear the same story they frequently tell. That they find it very hard to get the riders to come forward with constructive review and contributions to proposed rule changes. Yes, I agree a better media forum would help, but really, how much do you need? MNZ regularly has workshops you can attend, the site is "live" (ish) for comment your club can make submissions via remit and other media.
If the critics here on this forum have been active through these processes I'd be surprised if they're unhappy. If they're really motivated, then get elected next election.

And here was me thinking you might post something on the snorkel matter!

Will it be ok to run an SV650 without the snokel fitted to the airbox at the next nationals? Whats the deal with throttle bodies?

I'd like to know so I can seem informed if anyone asks!

[codgyoleracer]

Looks like we will be snorkiling this year !, New rule is a bit clearer for the 650 4 valve twins now, but IMO it could be clearer again.

Dont know about the throttle bodies/injector part of the rule, however with no airbox mods i dont see the point in playing with it myself as flow cant be increased anyway ?.

Maybe this is the last year for the commuter bikes dominance !, (about time too ! ) :-)

Got any ideas on how we can make the bike quicker Gary ?

apparently regular snorkel playing helps mitigate the incidence of testicular cancer

That might do it... apparently you need a good rider on a bike to get it to the pointy end of the field....

Na in NZ you only have to be average which is good for NZ standards.

YOU DAMN Right - bring back formula racing - who wants to see a road legal bike with no lights on it, when you can see monster SVs racing against Flame spitting ZXR444RRRRRRR's dicing with ugly sounding 450 triples.

Im gonna shutup here , ozzy already called me a nasty name .i prefer "Flat ugly sounding 450 triples"

F= Formula and a formula is a recipe made to the ingrediants available , when a bike thats really old can do times like a newer , cutting edge bike its a damm good recipe so dont let anybody fuck it all up to make it biased to a specific configaration, my 2 cents.
