Next South Island Street Race

**ellipsis** · 4th January 2010, 23:56

Code:

Everything is go down at Methven, we have a permit number,the track looks good, even some esses through the back section. A cool track for spectators as well.

The formula Methven class is to be an invite only F1 class . It is the first of what we hope will be an annual affair at Methven. As CAMS is a classic/post classic club, that is what our priority regards classes is. Maybe in future years, all going according to plan, we can include more classes,eg F3, BEARS, but at the moment this year is running these classes only.

Classic/Pre 63
Pre 72
Pre 82
Pre 89
Miniature Road Race (Buckets)
Super Motard
Formula Methven (F1, Invite Only)

Classes will not exceed 35 machines per class, F1, 18 machines.

Entries will be posted on the CAMS site soon http://www.cams-racing.org.nz

Methven is a quiet Canterbury town tucked under the foothills to the Alps and is about an hour from Chch and 40 minutes from Ashburton, it caters to a lot of ski and winter sports people and there is a couple of good pubs and a fair bit of accomodation for those interested

Sorry scorry, rumours that not even I have heard. Circuit is very central to business/housing part of town. We can talk about that for next year, (if), keeping it real simple this time around.

We are running this race meeting with the Methven LIONS, things are going quite smoothly at the moment, as far as the organizing of the day, considering they have not done this before, and CAMS hasn't done this for a while, Rakaia, was the last time. We aim to give the crowd a good day of motorcycle racing in the safest and most organized way we can.

We are running seven classes,one classic,three post classic ,buckets, motards ,all of which are limited to 35 per grid,CAMS members get preference over other entries. First 35 entries in are it. The F1 class has been limited to 18 riders. We new we would have to send back a lot of entries for this class if it were open to all . A couple of F1 riders of repute were asked to help on the difficult task of guiding us on those they considered should be invited. We have a list and we are sorry if you wish to be, or thought you should be on it, and you aren't . (thats all she wrote)
