Street stock for Hampton nationals

[Str8 Jacket]

I mean, you are rich enough to race, but you don't have money set aside for a meeting, where at the last minute, you may just be allowed to enter.

Ya ha, like most other 'middle class NZers' I would say.... although I have been tempted by the thought of getting loans to fund my racing at times the thought of being debt free in a couple of years is much more comforting. By then I will be skilled enough to ride a "real" bike anyway!

Pfft girl, get you shit sorted.....

Im ready >>>>>

[Ivan]

Thats a bit unfair, you gave them just over a weeks notice so what did you expect?

yeah have to agree and most of the streetstockers are under 20 and at school alot of them

I was waiting for the "we invited you-but you didnt turn up" bleating from the organisers (re streetstock)
If you had the vision to have included this class at the beginning you would have had 25+ bkes im sure.................. but using us a a fill in when the entries are low hardly counts as an invitation to me.
Yes most of the riders are at school and not able to suddenly drop everything and travel to the opposite end of the country......but with some forward notice/planning the South Islanders would have got together and sorted out a soloution.
Maybe you organisers MIGHT do it different next year................. or maybe NOT
We had around 10 NEW riders at training session on friday evening................ I rest my case!

Hey Merv,Remember what you said earlier about deaf ears and brickwalls ??

[scrivy]

The above reply by Swerve is what would happen too if some people got their way and allowed competitors to drop their worst round. People would just not turn up to a round, and then the organisers would be in the situation as above - hastedly trying to get the numbers to break even.
I feel sorry for the AMCC being the final round. I bet they wish they weren't! Broken bikes, broken bodies, lack of money........

[Racey Rider]

So again - AMCC have put themselves out there to cater to the voices and we have only 4 entries for the Street Stock Class that everyone wanted.

I understand your frustration at the way things are going, but I don't think that statement is very fair.
