Is the memo above the letter you speak of Pete?If so can you please explain where it states there has been a rule change,Also at no point does it allow the use of slicks or 120/70x17 tyres,In fact it reinforces the rules effective Jan 1 2011,At NO stage did I or any other member of the roadrace commission instruct either you or Dennis that there has been a rule change,In fact I made it perfectly clear to both of you that under the current commission the use of 120/70 front would NEVER be allowed to be used on a 2.15 rim,It also doesnt explain why the email forwarded to me from you requesting Wendy to apply for new supp regs for streetstock at Round 1,(Which I might add was never forwarded on to MNZ)well before that memo from MNZ was ever in circulation,Nor does it explain the acceptance recieved by La Salle Carr on the 20th of december explaining how the rules had changed and would be as run at MCI clubdays,That was as Im sure you are aware 2 days before the memo from MNZ,Also at the bottom of the same acceptance there is a footnote stating the regs for streetstock will be handed out at sign on for round 1,What regs???Who applied for them and when????
Put simply mate,This whole streetstock tyre war,Thats been going on between yourself and MNZ since Paul Pavletich days,Seems to stem from your complete inability to accept no for an answer,In the last few months you have sent me countless emails and we have spoken on the phone,You have given me a number of reasons why you dont think the Bridgestones are suitable for use,But not 1 scrap of evidence that the 120/70s are designed to run on a 2.15 rim in the wrong direction from a reputable tyre manufacturer/distributor.
What happened last weekend at Ruapuna was nothing more than an ambush set up for the visiting MNZ officials to walk into,You people had planned to contravene the rules well before it was discovered the streetstock tyre rules had been left out of the new rulebook and just used that as an extra lever.
