    Where were the Chairs?

    I heard that something went on and a meeting was held, so what happened to the sidecars at Manfeild?

    I know its a touchy subject lately, but had an interest in one team and was keen to see hows things went.

    Not wanting a bitch n moan thread, just interested to find out what happened.

    Not enough entries. Everyone should come to Classics..much more luck with actually getting a run.

    Most of the North islands outfits went to race at Eastern creek instead of supporting the local scene and doing Hampton downs and Manfield

    Yeah because in the entire history of motorcycle racing in New Zealand no other class has ever dropped oil

    It will be interesting to see what the NZSRA come up with to replace the 4 rounds of NZ champs as it wouldn't surprise me if the class is dropped

    I think the overnight rain bought back up through the tarmac some of the oil the chair dropped there last year!

    The solo riding faggots kept that a bit quiet, surprised they didn't try and blame the sidecars anyway as that's what they normally do

    I really believe they blame everything on the sidecars cause the crowd LOVE the sidecars. 2 wheels get a bit boring after a while. Everyone is out for themselves, where on sidecars, we love to battle!
