Streetstock as a championship class?

[woodyracer]

Right my friends - it's on. AMCC will run the 250 lights and the street stock as one class. It's totally over to you guys now. There needs to be a minimum of 10 entries in a class for it to run. So, start beating the drums and get those entries in. AMCC have agreed that a class like this needs to be run, however in the past when they've tried to get it off the ground there was just simply not the support for in in relation to entries. So I guess - here's your chance!!!!

Thanks heaps man!!!!, The main person to contact if you want realy good entires is Glen Mettam, he was responsible for getting sall the streetstock riders for Hampton Downs. But we wont let you down, ill try my best to get as many as possible, this could be the start of a big streetstock class in the AMCC. See you on the 24th, -MAX

And PLEASE guys, resist any temptation to faff with the 250's - keep 'em standard, dont let it get outta control like the 150's.

Just purely out of interests sake, what do you mean by this? My understanding is that everything should be stock standard?....

WELL DONE, AMCC ...... thats excellent news - come on Woody / Billy etc, motivate the troops and get out there, justify the Clubs faith in the class

And PLEASE guys, resist any temptation to faff with the 250's - keep 'em standard, dont let it get outta control like the 150's. The 2 classes are very competitive when run STANDARD, so leave 'em alone .... that INCLUDES grinding brackets off etc. The rules WILL be policed strongly, so that the class does what its intended to, i.e. provide a class where RIDER ABILITY is the decider

Totally agree with you Budda," KEEP THE 250's ALL ABOVE BOARD", and within the rules, and there will be some great races out there, thats one of the reasons i have entered the class this season. Once you have the package, there is no more excesive costs keeping up with Joe Blogs. As you say it all will come down to rider ability.
The Vic Club series will be interesting to watch, hopefully a strong turnout of "Production Lights" this season. And i will also be doing my best to promote the class as well.

Dead right - SHOULD be stock standard ( except for what you're allowed to change ) and all I'm saying is that if all 250 racers are self-policing ( as in, wont put up with blatant cheating as in some 150's ) we will ALL be the winners ......... the trouble with the 150's has been that so many people BUY a "standard" bike, but what they GET may have been modified 5 owners ago, and all subsequent owners believe it to be legal.

The Hyosungs and Kawasakis are very even in standard trim - lets keep it that way. Our one has a "lunchtime" muffler, sticky road tyres, Billy-built bodywork and maximum oversize testicles on the pilot - thats it !!!!!!!!

i msut add, you NEED raicng brake-pads or late braking is dangerous, chain is needed, and muffelr needed, tires needed, even body worki dont think is that nesessary.....

Totally agree budda........ but at the end of the day its the motor that really makes a difference between a fast and not so fast RG. Even a couple of kilos (weight differnce) in the rest doesnt have that much effect. Ok sometimes you have all these things and a very light/good rider and it makes it seem like that one is a lot faster than the rest. I believe attention to detail........ strict maintanace....good rubber and a good rider is just as effective. As for the tyre thing that really needs to be sorted once and for all...........as the different combos at Ruapuna Nats in the changing conditions was interesing eh.
The main thing is this class grows and is given the recognition it deserves............. you will never stop rule interpretation/cheating call it what youlike it even happens at the very top.

Do you have the money to do the five rounds around NZ?

I know I don't.

It's easy to say "We want to." But 'Can we?'

I'm thinking we need to give it another year to grow the Prolite class (and get sponsorship interest) before suggesting a Nats Championship.

[Rcktfsh]

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...

Good on AMCC running the Pro Lites class but in fairness pb is it fair to include the class at the last minute and then complain of a lack of support? Giving riders a fortnights warning and an ultimatum is hardly a fair suck of the sav. Vic club's winter series programme has been up for months allowing riders to plan ahead and will i'de predict see big fields in prolight/ss150. I'v an RG which i'm running a young rider on in the winter series, would like to support your meeting but not possible at such short notice.

No, but my parents want a holiday down south next holidays......so if we're already down there why not, Their maybe not too many of us with the money to do all 5 rounds, but there is some.

Yip,Same for me,I am running 2 younger riders on 150s for the Actrix series and had we known earlier would have attended this meeting,Most of the riders in this class are students or lowwly paid and have to budget in advance
