Nats R5 Orion Motorcycle Club (seriously)?

[Cr1MiNaL]

Has anyone seen the entry fees for R5 at Manfield?

It's crazy !! $175 entry fee and $75 for a transponder, thats $245 for 20 laps if that ! Is this an error?

AMCC run R4 at HD for:

$150 entry and $35 transponder hire = $185

Got this off the entry forms on www.mnz.co.nz

Does'nt seem overly priced to me you'll get more than just 20 laps. I think the club should be thanked for taking on running a nats rnd.
I cant wait

[Tony.OK]

Don't forget its a 2 day event.

Thats for 2 days hirage of the transponder so seems standard.

Pretty close to a 2 day meet in the winter series cost wise.

If you read the AMCC entry form more carefully the entry for a non-AMCC member (AMCC members get a discount - seems a little unfair to out of towners IMO) is exactly the same with transponder hire at $35/day.

Also as mentioned above it is a 2-day event with 2 x practice sessions, 1 x Qualifying, 1 x 15 lap and 1 x 20 lap race. (at least for the Superbike and Supersport classes. The other championship classes I think get 1 less practice session)

Looking up the entry forms for previous years its about the same cost.

i beleive its been that or more expensive for a while at manfield and HD last year was more expensive again.

i was expecting it to be more

[White trash]

Speed the lap times up a bit mate, you'll get 23 for your dollars that way

[Clivoris]

Kudos to Manawatu Orion for picking this round up. They certainly wont be getting rich out of this.

I can't belive hampton is so cheap, last year it was about $400 bucks all up

[Cr1MiNaL]

I didn't realise it was for 2 days practice and race day. Rookie error. I better be off to the gym need to get racefit for the thrashing I will be receiving shortly !

Could be, seems cheaper than last year

You'll shit your pants at the HD entry fee if you consider this one expensive

I didn't realise it was for 2 days practice and race day.

It doesn't include Friday practice which is extra

It amazes me how people seem to think racing a bike is cheap not to mention people that race that cant afford it and expect everyone else to pay for it under a guise of sponsorship opportunity.

(all thats not directed at you Criminal)

Agreed RE the people that go racing and cannot afford it them selves, I have always thought that before you go asking for money off companies or Friends, you must have some thing to offer back, guess i was naieve in my first years of racing, and should have bludged more rather than getting a second job and paying for my own fun, and 90% of the bludging is done from people who only do it for fun
