ok every one stop take a deep breath and count to ten
looking at the results from today how come most other classes get three races and f1 and f2 get two races?
just a question
In the riders seat
No F1 or F2 class were running today
But if they had been running they would have had longer races than the other classes and still done the same amount of race laps
edit: actually they get one more lap than the other classes

so too make biggles point in the beginning the premier class's get less races than the other classes.No F1 or F2 class were running today

where is that fair
In the riders seat
Premier classes my arse, they get 2 races compared to three for the other classes but they are longer races and I'm sure someone will correct me if I am wrong but I thought that was decided by the 600 and Superbike guys some years back?so too make biggles point in the beginning the premier class's get less races than the other classes.

Sorry Kick, but they are the 2 premier classes, Why, because they represent what the spectators ride on the ride, ie, the SUZUKI TRI SERIES, and all the product they use represent the same and bring in slight profit margins to dealers, who SOME in turn give a bit back
SCars and F3 have NO real relivence to the buisness economy
If No Suzuki etc, NO racing mate, as there would not be enough riders entering the champs, which in turn means there would be NO Champs

Don't read this.....
It does say "Castrol Power 1 NZ Superbike Championship" on all the entry forms
Harrasing towbars since 2007
Interesting to see where the crowds were when the superbikes came out to play Kickaha....all on the side of the track watching! And what a display they put on. Do you truly believe Sidecars were more of a spectacle than the Superbikes or 600's? I'm not saying this because I race a 600, I'm merely pointing out what the general Jo public want to see....close racing for sure, but specifically with the faster bikes. If there were 6 very close sidecars racing I admit I would watch that too, but the simple fact is there isn't. I hope some time soon there is tho.

I think you'll find spectators are much more intrigued with sidecars than solos as they're different and people want to know more. The whole weekend for us was filled with (when we weren't on track) a steady stream of spectators in the pit area (which I thought was extremely professional), asking questions, taking photos, kids sitting on rigs, etc etc.
The congratulations and applause Drew and I got on the slow down laps was phenominal, despite us running 6th in every race.
I don't think you're actually speaking from a spectators perspective Marcus.
The other funny old thing is, I didn't see any superbike or supersport riders offering their utes on Saturday night so the signage could be placed around the track for the GP, or inviting all the organisers, TV people and commentators, or anyone else hanging around over for a massive "on the house" BBQ and beers? Oh, wasn't that another sidecar teams ute borrowed for the victory laps after the GP?
Race 2 of the Superlites was fucking SPECTACULAR for third place. Streetstock action was mental at the front and superb racing also.
Nah, support classses offer no value whatsoever.........

Well, we had to find out why the lack lustre commentators were getting somewhat motivated.
The commentating was a joke full stop. People talk about building up bike racing in NZ for spectators. Hahhahahahahahahaahahahahahahahahahahahahaah. Not a fucking chance. Most of the time we had no idea what was going on, between races do you think we'd get some interesting to listen to.... hell no. However, I did hear the commentator say that we'd be without one for the last races, as he had a ferry to catch. That's pro :lmao:
They did an awesome job on the national anthem though... I'd never heard half a dozen out of sync, off key, robotic girls (???? might have been guys, couldn't tell) singing before... that was first.
You're fucked in the head if you think you'll get anything but diehard bike enthusiasts to go and pay for that on a regular basis.

I heard Spyda was fairly entertaining. Apparently, me and Drew are what happens when you shake a baby and our rig handles like a bathtub full of spastics.
That being said, it was probably more to do with the spastics trying to ride the thing rather than the handling

At least you guys gave it a go and were doing it

The online commentating was quite good I thought, different than what the track had though I understand.
Was great to be able to listen in and have guests speaking such as Dennis Charlette for the last SBK race.
As for classes and the amount of races............even WSBK only has 2 races per meeting, the Supersports only have 1.
Do people come to both days to watch or is the Sunday the main event? Is that why all the SBK & S/sport races are on Sunday?
One thing I really think needs changing not just at the Nats but club racing as well is the starting grids. Qualifying for race 1 is good but race 2 grid should be from race 1's results, that'd make for even closer 2nd races as the fast guys go straight into battle.
Thats what they do overseas ain't it..............

Nah mate, where you Qual is where you start again!
An the idea of starting 2nd race as per first race results would be a little harsh for someone if they had a mechanical failure or a crash
They would have to start last
