Actrix Winter Series Round 6 - Taupo

**Skunk** · 25th September 2011, 16:34

Now's the time to start getting your entries in for Round Six. Pre-entries close on 21st October.

We are using long track (Track 1) for all classes except Streetstock, Minilite, Prolite and F4 which will be short track (Track 2). Yes - F4. Get your Bucket entered!

Remember that this year it's a best of five rounds points: if you have done six rounds your best five count. If you have done five rounds all five count, if you have done four rounds all four count. It's all still open season in most classes!

The final round and Series Prize Giving will be held at the track after racing is finished.

Entry forms are here...

Don't forget there is a MotoTT track day on the Friday and Post Classics Meet on Sunday with F1, 2, 3, ProTwins and BEARs support classes.

How come streetstock et al are running track 2 and not the long track?

Because it was decided that the F4, Pro Lites and Streetstocks were better off missing the 'pin-it-till-she-blows' main straight.

I don't think the straight at Taupo is particularly long. It's about perfect for a 150 or Prolite to catch a draft and overtake before the chicane. Plus that southern corner is alot of fun to get right with the closing radius. I think it would be great if all the riders in the classes effected were asked for an opinion before these decisions get made. Track 1 is a beauty and if the entry fee is the same then so should the track.

OK I'm done. Go ahead,, start throwing your rocks.

is the vic club going to put a date on that new race class? 96-97 cause think the r1 in 98 or a bit over still had carbs and seems not right to let such a new type of bike in it?

Evidently it'll be okay for them at the final round of the NZSBK Nationals though - and would've been a useful practice opportunity as it will be for all the other classes who enter, including clubmans.

I'm sure this is a great way of encouraging young kids into our sport. I bet parents would be really keen on involving their kids after watching your carry on. This sport is dangerous enough as it is.

I'm sure MNZ would love to hear about this.........

I doubt Neil would have done anything on purpose
