Im thinking Chop might be at a slightly higher level than most ?
Im thinking Chop might be at a slightly higher level than most ?
A few years back I might have said sidecars as we were second biggest class and 1000cc bikes could barely get enough bikes for a grid (pre Choppa era)
I'd actually pick 600 though as over the years I would have thought they get better entries and quite often better racing than any other class
I just don't see the fact the bikes are faster and cost more money makes any class "The premier class"
I thought his proper name was "you bastard"
The pointy end of posties Jr is the road to poverty.
1/3rd of set of tyres (that end up on my roadbike) $140
Brake pads - $10
Doss in car - $0
Go go juice for car $180
Go go juice for bike - $30
McDonalds breakfast $10
Entry fee $130
---------------
TOTAL $500
So obviously the F1 guys should get 2.3 times the racing

Actually had no real complaints from those first two rounds last year....probebly looking less than impressed with the shite weather. Long way to come for a club meeting in the rain (twice) But paid off Ants won the first race outright(F3 - protwin) at levels winter series in the rain by 17 secs.
I liked the sign in - very quick and easy due to pre entry .. something we offer but dont enforce enough and it takes ages for sign on at MCC. We are looking at this prob. Call up/racing seemed to run very similar to down here on any given day. Actually a bit miffed cos streetstock was bumped in favour of 600s, (if i remember right) but that probebly biased as we were competing in it too. But i understand that something had to give.
The club season/winter series is exactly that in my opinion a series for club riders in the winter.......... we only did every meeting we could (first 5 in the rain) so then 15 yr old Ants could get seat-time on both bikes. It served the purpose last year....(you too needed setup/seat time on a new machine - and it paid off for you too eh.) however this year i wont be putting either of my riders on the track till at least sept.
We will however be attending all the winter meets as helpers/flaggie duties etc. and helping out the junior section.
As i believe there is little gain for a national title contender by doing 6 lap (or less) races in the middle of winter. This also gives the club guys and up-coming juniors plenty of track time and the chance to race in an environment to which better suits there ability at that stage.
Many of MCC national riders started like this..... it takes a few seasons for most to gradually move up the ranks, but the club believes in catering for those riders and getting them hooked (and we all know once you are hooked racing is THE ONLY thing that matters)
You would be surprised how effective these forums are! I emailed several members of MNZ directly. Not a single reply in 2 months. Post on here and facebook and I had several emails within 24 hours(Choppa)
+1 have had the same result.
And besides i lke to hear peoples opinions.... whoever they are and whatever they have to say.
All MCC committee meetings are open to paid up members.... guess VMCC is the same.
Actually fair point, we dont deserve any more track time then others. I think everyone could get more racing if the classes were sorted so there was less classes that catered for cross entries. Combine F1 and F1. Give every class an extra 2 laps
The van is a new Hiace and towing a trailer its a hugry POS!!! No shit $100+ to fill the tank its gone by the time you get to Manfeild
