Awesome guys well done.

[Timmeh:P]

Great stuff! Was wondering what I was going to do with myself after round 5 of AMCC... Now I know.

[Drew]

Hmmm, would like to do this on the sidecar. Hope there are enough entries.

[arkeye]

Sounds like a good idea to me.. will try to make it up to the august round!

First off, great news, look forward to it. Good idea with the two clubmans classes. With regards to Clubmans B,how will you determine slower riders on smaller capacity machines when there are some guys capable of running rings around others on larger capacity machines on 600cc machinery. Can you cross enter?

A modern 600 would be entered in A as would a Hayabusa, entries will ask you to nominate A or B grade and initial fields will be done on that & bike entered information. Also fields can be fine tuned after practice if needed.

Will MNZ one day event licenses be available on the day?

Would be good if VMCC had 2 classes of clubmans. I would get back into it. At nearly 50 im to old for F1. I have been kicked out of clubbies as of last winter series and have to do F1 or nothing on my 1000. Why go and spend shitloads on tires etc to get lapped by the top F1 guys. Instead i either have to sell my bike, which is not an option as i have spent so much on it i wouldnt even get 1/4 of it back, or do nothing. I chose the latter, but would love to be out there mixing it up with guys doing similar times. So my 1000 is basically now a bloody expensive trackday bike.

They will be available.

[tail_end_charlie]

They will be available.

Sweet. So it sounds like you'll be happy to cater for the first time racer? If that's so, then it sounds like the perfect time for me to get started.

[Mental Trousers]

.....

Excellent. I either have to haul my arse to Mafeild (which ends up being a 3 day trip with all the expense etc that entails) or park up the bike over winter. This is great.
