    The date for the South Island rounds have been on the MNZ website and NZSBK for a while now,But they are the 1st,2nd and 3rd weekends of January,Hampton Downs on the weekend of the 16th of March and the date for Taupo is still to be confirmed although it will be the weekend prior to or straight after HD

    Nobody wants to run a round there due to cost,Plus there were no dates available in March and the AMCC had already booked HD for the 16th which would have meant the South Island guys would have had to come north twice

    Yep no dates were booked, Manfield is booking 2015 at present...yep, 3 years ahead!

    Also wondering who is the bright spark who thinks holding the South Island rounds of the Nats during the peak of school holidays is "cost effective" in any way?!...

    So far as race tracks go Taupo is pretty crap and if the weather is bad they will have to abandon the meeting like the VIC Club did if they run it at the right time it will be OK

    Only way I can see there being at Manfeild round is if they run Taupo the week after Hampton Downs and then Manfeild the week following that. As MNZ have already stated they wanted to leave Feb free for Paeroa.Then of course you have too find somebody that wants to put their neck in the Manfeild noose!!

    It'll be interesting to see a Nationals round at Taupo. There'll be quite a bit of celebrating but more cursing I reckon. Shame it isn't HD, Taupo AND Manfeild.
    Zen wisdom: No matter what happens, somebody will find a way to take it too seriously. - obviously had KB in mind when he came up with that gem

    MNZ are never going to book the tracks that far in advance as they cant rely on the clubs for commitment,

    As far as the timing of dates for the 2012 series goes,I'd suggest you direct your questions to the roadrace commission chairman,Not Kiwibiker,His contact details are available on the website nobody seems to visit

    So Billy have I got this correct. Paeroa street race is now morw important than the NZ road race series. Good one so they organise the Nationals around 1 street race that no one gives a fuck about
