With regard to putting Postie seniors with protwins. The current practice is to mix postie senior and juniors, gridded according to qualifying times. Are the protwin bikes less competitive than the postie juniors? I've raced in posties on a junior bike and qualified in front of senior bikes. I can't remember it being a problem. Why would it be any different for protwins?

No personal problem but when the posties enter turn one and flay around like big beached whales its the pro twins that feel the hurt through the infield on the first lap and more so for the ones that are unlucky enough to have a few posties between them and the front running protwins.

Yep true. I've been on the front row on a PC Jnr and it's no different.

I'm being selfish and thinking of my points situation. I don't want my competition to get a PC Snr (Or Jnr - aka Chappy) in between us and affect 'our points' race, then again that could work both ways couldn't it ?

Yes more one direction than the other cause we all know the pro twins wont hold up the posties in the corners and the straights are the easy pass spots.

So eloquently put !

**Deano** · 23rd September 2009, 18:48

And the difference between PC Snr/Jnr and PT, and F3 and PT is that the F3 bikes don't piss over the PT's too much on the straights.

Either way, we'll find out Saturday. I can't wait.

The South Island assault will be interesting. And don't forget Russel Josiah - I rmember watching him at Wanga's as a teenager.

The weather might play a part yet too.......it's going to be an interesting meeting.

Feck off rain!

I've waited a helluva long time for this, and I ain't spending more money on rain tyres just for the privilage. If I have to do 2min+ laps to qualify on race attacks in the rain, I will.

Are you in clubmans Mark.If so just record some lap times and the weather man says it will improve just like your lap times.
