    Seriously though, Andy from Bikesport.co.nz only charges $200 for that type of service and it will almost be sure to get great press.

    He has put a small thing on his website from last meeting but he has also done a whole story for Kiwibiker etc

    GP125's will be changing wheels of course, .... But they can just go out on the back of the next superbike race.
    not as simple as that but an idea worth discussion anyway. In the old days at Wanganui when it rained they'd call the sidecars out to swwep the rain off. Not everyone was ready and there was some very unhappy competitors who simply missed races as a result.

Just word everyone up and stick to your guns with closing the gate (close gate 60sec after opening) and adjust program early to get it back on schedule. I wasn't there but was it not obvious that wets would be required? With losing 20min's at the start, the decision could have been made almost straight away to cut every race by 1 lap.

    It's easy with 20:20 hindsight I know, and even with things not going to plan I'm sure Vic Club put in a great effort.

    Sorry, I haven't got much sympathy or time for complaints/rejigging the program for cross entrants. Having only paid $20 to enter a second class their rights are secondary to the folks who have paid the full price to get on the same grid.
    The ambo went out a few times and you can't hurry that along! With safety in mind, it just isn't possible to stick to the schedule sometimes.
