    Do you all have a regional championship series?

    A series that consists of North NZ. I have been looking for a few hours now and have not come up with anything.

    Not as such mate,


    VMCC has the winter series at Manfeild
    PAC Club has the summer series doing both Taupo and Manfeild
    Theres the Tri Series, 3 meetings, Manfeild, Wanganui Street race and Taupo
    AMCC has a summer series at Auckland's Pukekohe

    But no North Is series that is a NZ championship.

    Yeah seeing as NZ is so much smaller (smaller than most states in the US) and we only have 5-6 tracks there isn't really any championships that use more than 1 track apart from the national championships. Pretty much each club has a primary track. A few clubs will run a series that may use 2 tracks (for instance VMCC will use Manfeild and Taupo cause they are only about 2-3 hours drive apart) but that is about it.

    Although in saying that, the South Island clubs do every 2nd year have a South Island Cup. Which consists of 1 meeting at each of the 3 south island tracks (Teretonga, Levels and Ruapuna). It does make a slightly different series but it isn't really anything too spectacular. It is usually done during winter too which can make for some interesting conditions!

    If you have any more questions post them up here or send me a PM, happy to help. Have you looked at bringing your race bikes over?

    I have no idea. I would say it will be more though. You also have to factor into it the clearance charges etc when it gets to the port here. I am sure there is info on here somewhere, just not sure where!
