I reckon you should take it a bit slower when typing,So we can understand your posts easier,Do you attend the same highschool as Nick Cole did????LOL.But seriously,I think your idea holds merit and possibly could be run in a similar fashion to the Sportsfoto cup and Support classes at the South Island National rounds,IE up to 20 yr olds and over 20 year olds.The under 20 year olds to have a proper National championship.Also run it as one class with one tyre rule,IE up to 250 four stroke twin/up to 150 2 stroke single and on dot/european approved tyres with recommended rim fitment

The AMCC ave really tried to get this and the 250 lights up and running, but at all our club meets we have ended up with a maximum of 4 entries across both classes. Without any sarcasim or ridicul, I would love to hear the ideas of the riders in those classes as to what we need to do to get more entries...

The best advice I could offer you would be to talk too Peter Jones from MCC and peter Ramage the roadrace commission spokesperson,They are both very keen on this class and have some excellent ideas to help you out,You have Keith Biddle in your club who is also keen to do something with this class.I will be running a team for this class for the winter and we would be keen too attend,But we would need something in concrete(preferably not gumboots as some on here would have me in)too work with,I would be available for some rider training at any meeting we attend.MNZ are very keen too get this class happening but I think its important at this stage too keep the 150s running in the class as a cheaper entry level,If you want too discuss it further you can contact me through www.racefairings.co.nz .Im keen to help,But dont sit on your hands for the winter and then expect to run it successfully at your National round

Question to think about = will all the goodness that is there currently get removed or erased when it becomes more serious national level class and the increased pressure that would bring?

certainly not, while there will be people out there who will strive to be king of the castle, as with all sports, there will be a lot out there just for a ride.
As an entry level class it'll be great, roadcraft being the key as a the bikes aren't powerful anyone whose seen the hordes down south will have already seen those serious about being number one and those who are out there to enjoy themselves.
Those serious will soon see a move to another class, first step 125GP maybe or other classes.
Don't try and stifle this class before it's even got off the ground

Absolutely Spyda man,The vision Peter Ramage has is NOT just a junior training class although it is planned for it too be an level entry,But also a place where riders can learn some racecraft from more experienced competitors,An area we have identified as needing improvement.While its not such an issue in the South Island where there are a number of very fast competitors striving too be no1,The reverse appears too be the case in the North Island.A classic example of this was illustrated during the 07 Actrix series where I was able to compete comfortably with Avalon Biddle and the rest of the feild were nowhere,When Glen Mettam pointed that out during a discussion we had recently,I replied with,20years ago she wouldnt have seen which way I went and the scary part about that is,20years ago I was most definitely NOT the man too beat.It appears too me the competitors in the North are all riding around at a comfortable pace and not being pushed at all.The plan is to get back too big feilds in this class (20-40 bikes)with some good close racing and people being pushed too perform.

Gents, I asked the question not to poke holes in the boat, more so to ensure the law of unintended consequences diidn't come into play.....

Imagine if we could pluck a 410 production race from 30 years ago and pop it into the winter series we have now. I've seen forty on a grid , was it really that good , I'm sure it was ? Think of the protests we'd have. LOL
I hope you get the numbers to start the ball rolling. (what was it, 7 at HD ?? )

20years ago she wouldnt have seen which way I went .

I think you'll find that twenty years ago she was getting ready for teething!
