Epic thread fail. You can smell the remains burning a mile away.

There are no successful threads on KB.

thats why I started a racer only section on kiwiracer.co.nz but people prefer to be heros on here

Epic thread fail. You can smell the remains burning a mile away.

You started it with a question. No answers or responses were to your satisfaction. That makes not a fail, but rather typical KB. It is a complete success in once again demonstrating that there are too many 'agendas' present when it comes to planning, organising, running and competing in a race series, for there to be anything but argument.
Well done for the reminder.

As for the"crap food" at Manfeild, I love hotdogs and chips, wouldn't have it any other way. The gas station, or a short run to Feilding will give you more choice, or you could bring your own (tofu vege homespun or whatever) hahaha

Exactly. Any cunt that wants to eat healthy knows to take their own food. I always like chips and hotdogs at race meetings. Right from the time as a kid at my first ever speedway meeting!

Where is the love?

Serious question from an ex Vic club racer.............

Can anyone tell me why the race format went back to trying to fit in 3 races per class?

I remember the same time constraints happening, then the longer 2 race format came in giving more overall time to the day because of a whole cycle of "exiting and entering" between races. And when time allowed an extra race was put in for fun.

Its looking like the BEARS class may be a goer, hopefully it stays well subscribed, can see some Jap F1 bikes being traded for something else to get a second class haha.

Screw that! I like me chips to but I like a decent burger or a nice sammy or something not fried completely thats all.

I think you will find that it was in response to riders wanting more races in the one day. That, and moaning about the SS class 'getting more time on the track' - because they get the same number of laps.
The organisers are damned whatever they do...the danger is that those few dedicated individuals will just throw their hands up and say fuck it - do it yourself.

The irony of it all, is that in recent times more and more riders have been coming forward on the day and saying how pleased they were with the whole setup.

[gixerracer]

Yeah I reckon I will mate.
The Nats isnt my favourite event thats for sure, overrated, overpriced (for the riders to be involved in the entire series) and lacking in many areas like public interest for example.......so whats the point?
its pointless having a Nats the size of the one we do.

But I digress.

But honestly the only negative stuff I have to say (and what I have heard from riders I know) about the otherwise MINT Vmcc series is
1/ Crap Food
2/ Crap Coffee
3/ Cold and wet most of the time
4/ Short races (6 laps I think x 2 makes an expensive trip for f all)

What a load of crap.
What is the point. The point is getting all the best riders together with the best bikes and seeing who is the best just like any other National series. Ozzy only had 11 SBK bikes on the grid at there last round so is there series a waste of time 2??

We had some pretty decent crowds at some of the Nationlas this season

I only said crap twice, thats hardly a load!! now if I said crap like i dunno 20 times that would be a load.

Fair enough, thanks for that mate. It'll go round in circles/cycles forever I think.

Id agree with that. From a lowly posties racer point of view, I thought the last round was great. Ran like a clock, I much prefer the 3 races, and no formal scrutineering of the Vic rounds. Looking forward to paddling my way around Manfield this weekend.

OK so weve got a pair of tyres $700.00

Anything else is your choice and nobody elses,Id also suggest you get your van tuned if it uses $200,00 to travel 320ks,Researched it today and it costs around $65.00 less to run a F3 bike for the day,So how does that justify more tracktime???
