Low personal B.M.E.P.
many years ago now, it was agreed in principle that a street circuit should not be part of the National Points series...It made sense at the time and given how machinery has only got faster, it still makes sense.Originally Posted by Billy
Nice to see someone on the board has a functioning memory....maybe....

I also have a functioning memory and raced at the last ever points meeting at Wangas,Wanganui was never part of the proposal.

My apologies, as usual i misunderstood Drew.....

I'm a very misunderstood individual mate.
Though I did say the two circuit rounds.

It's being discussed alright, it's being discussed here
Has everyone already forgotten not so many years ago we only had 2 SI rounds and none in the North and I think the year after there was none and that was when we only had a 6 grid minimum? anyone remember that Wanganui last year wasn't even going to run a sidecar class?
Couldn't give a shit about people going Aussie so long as we have enough left to run and support the class here, but 16 on the grid would be way better than 10, Dave was looking at pulling out with no swinger which left us with 9 which would mean we didn't have the numbers to run, Alex and Drew originally looked at going to Oz if they had we wouldn't have had the numbers again and again no series, a lot of the time we seem to be on the verge of not having the numbers and always just scraping through and there's enough chairs out there that is shouldn't be happening
Oh yeah everyone please pick on Pig and Goober at Wangas about not supporting local rounds
I'm sure with the membership heavily biased to the North nearly everyone would support what was proposed but as I've already said it would make it pretty much impossible for me to do the complete National series and most likely Kai as well, as poor value for money as some members see the nationals driving up from here for a one day meeting with two races is even worse
Negative by natureA little more positivity would be good
Love Tracey
I'm not sure enough SI chairs would come up to make it worthwhile regardless of it being a two day meeting as it runs at the busiest time of time and I know it would be difficult for me to get time off and probably Kai
Every second year I think would mean the class has already failed
Yet they've done so in the past (ok maybe not this board)
It isn't he way it always been though as other things have been tried, 600 and 1000 ran seperate meetings at one stage and the first year I raced there was an extra round for F3 and Sidecars at taupo
Anyone remember what happed to the sidecar points at that round
I can totally understand someone being unable to compete in the event of a crash or mechanical failure, Wanganui still to come we might be missing some yet, I dont understand people not competeing basically just because they cant be arsedI was all planned and paid up for the Nats last year..... but Wangas put paid to that.....
"If you can make black marks on a straight from the time you turn out of a corner until the braking point of the next turn, then you have enough power."
Forum whore
you actually fell for that?
Ta
I don't think "can't be arsed" is accurate.
If like me, people race for results, then the decision not to go out and get lapped and spend a fortune doing it is understandable...If not disappointing to other competitors and spectators.

A good result for you though is just finishing a meeting

As a spectator, albeit one with a vested interest, I attend race days because I enjoy watching the variety of racing. With all the complaints, tooing and froing, doubts and concerns, I take my hat off to the organizers and riders for the great spectacle we see over a weekend.
With so many people involved you're never going to witness the perfect event, but if you appreciate that everyone is enthusiastic and doing the best they can given the constraints of logistics and money, I believe all should simply do the best they can with what they have and support the sport without too many demands.
I want to congratulate everyone involved and let you know that your efforts under the difficulties you face are appreciated. I only wish I could attend more events and be more involved in sponsorship.
You don't get to be an old dog without learning a few tricks.
Shorai Powersports batteries are very trick!
WEEKEND RACER
Personally i don't give a shit about results (which is lucky as i'm very slow
Surely at some point people will remember why they started racing - To go fast and have some fun.

So many different reasons why people race.
You can't blame some people for not being there. Just 'cause they own a chair doesn't mean they're gunna do every meeting on it.
