Just PM OYSTER on here, and he will give you Facts, Not CRAP

yea oyster will give you the run down. He was running it through it with us.

Is it just me or should we vote for Mr. Jones to become the 150 rule book??? haha.

in the north island you have to have road legal tire from my understanding. no slicks or wets

[oyster]

MNZ rules are not too hard to interpret. Essentially you can slicks, road legal tyres or wets as long as the rim to tyre fit is within the tyre manufacture's recommendations. It's a bit clumsy and has a few anomalies but that's how it is (most rules are like that!)

But, if a club gets special rules (called supplementary rules), this can change. I don't know of Auckland or Pacific club rules, but I assume they adhere to MNZ. But the Vic Club is quite different, it only allows DOT tyres, which generally means "road legal"

Funnily enough the 250 class seems to allow wets, aaaaaaaand tyre warmers..

I wonder what the story is there

MNZ rules allow wets for 150's.

Sorry, I meant with the vic club, not sure what the other clubs take is..

Email the Vic club direct mate, the Internet can give you a lot of false info. ONLY trust Oyster re the 150 class on here, or the club or MNZ them self

this is correct.. all due to a certain MNZ rep

wets.... tyre warmers???? WTF???

[woodyracer]

thanks for all your input, hopefully they'll change the rules {vic club] so that you can run seconds hand slicks because by doing that your supporting nz racers......

ATM the bikes got tt900's, so they better last, cos i they dont make them anymore and BT39's have limited performance.

Tire warmers?? i deffinitly hope we cant run them......their expensive and we dont even need them, although saying that, if anyone uses them they'll have a huge advantage.

I think in the vic clubs situation (dont know about the other clubs), it was the fellow who sponsored the 250 class, may have managed to sneak in some supplementary rules to suit the bike he had already..
