    Why put more emphasis on cross entered classes for riders that potentially run 6 races when we can only run 3. Shouldnt your aim to be to try give everyone a fair shot at getting atleast 3 races?

    You have promised that the order was going to be changed throughout the rounds but we have been last every round.

    Tell me why this race order wouldnt work?

    I don't really have a dog in this one, but what is the perceived benefit of having F1 run earlier in the schedule rather than later?

    Cause if the day runs late as per usual then we are the first race to get cut and F1 bikes cant cross enter.

    At the first round F2 riders were going out for there 6th race of the day there unfortunetly was an accident and we only ended up getting 2 races.

    At round 3 we had our last 3rd race while it was getting dark while the F2 riders had 6 races in the good conditions. We are limited to only one class we should be given priority just like clubmens and streetstock.

    Fair points me thinks, but I'm not running the event. Maybe you could go first and clean the track for clubbies?

    Exactly, it's painfully obvious why no-one races a superbike in NZ......

    Why is someone who's only paid a fraction of an entry fee to do a second class being catered for when folks who have paid full entry fees get shafted? The argument that "this is Club level racing and the amount of cross entry that goes between classes has to be considered, some of which are racers that are wanting to be in your position and are fighting hard to achieve this dream" doesn't hold water: suprise suprise there are also some superbike racers who want/need to improve and with the dearth of track time have virtually no opportunity to do so.

    Fuck it, I'll be entering Clubman's at Round 5. I'll get guaranteed races and will be packed up nice and early watching the shortened F1 race with a beer in my hand. Sorted.

    Could agree more. From the format there is no encouragement for anyone to ride a superbike

    *small voice pipes up in the background*
    I get what is being said re F1. Being last in the race order, round after round, and having their last race cut short doesn't seem fair. SS often have their last race cut altogether to allow time for the F1 boys and girls - so they have a genuine gripe as well.
    Is there any reason why the order can't be rotated? The order of classes stays the same except - round one F1 is last, round two they run first, round three they run second. IE just put the class at the bottom of the order to the top at the next round. Then, as the season progresses, everyone gets their turn at maybe a shortened race 3.
    Cross-entered riders may get extra races - good for them - but unless the other riders in whatever class are also cross entered, then why should they miss out to 'make it fair' on those who can't cross enter in other classes?
    Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?
