Proposed rule changes

[Billy]

Just a heads up to all MNZ members

We are accepting proposed rulechanges for 2015 from now through til the end of March,It would be to your advantage to have them in through the correct channels outlined on the MNZ website by the 14th of March as they will need to be discussed between myself and a group of people I have set up to consider whether they are to be displayed on the MNZ website as proposed changes.As the last 2 weekends of March host the final 2 rounds of NZSBK 2014,My time to spend on these will be limited,If they have not been considered in a reasonable manner and are not displayed on the MNZ site by the 1st of April,Then they will not be considered until next year.

Hey Billy , how about this....

Up to 250 4 Stroke Superbike (opps already got that one) , so we make it completely stock 250 then.

Why would it be so hard to detect cheats? Noticeably faster bike....dyno...scales....if the numbers don't stack up and they still deny it...stripdown....sorted.

The cost involved in having dyno runs done alone man would bury the sport even deeper than it already is, unless you are going to buy one and transport it around. Std suspension yes, that would be as funny as fek to watch all the crashing and tyres getting wrecked, again killing the sport off due to overheads

Stick around mate,ALL will be revealed a little later in the week,What youve stated is how it SHOULD work,But theres more to it than that,Watch this space

Dyno run means nothing anyway,Unless as youve stated it's done right there and then AND under the supervision of the Steward and Clerk of Course,You like myself and MANY others know how easy it is to lose power on a fuel injected machine given 10 minutes alone,A zero or rich map will take of a good percentage or even a lump of rag over the air intake

Well something's gotta change Shaun. Manufacturers, disti's and sponsors are hardly tripping over themselves to throw money at the sport. Most new potential racers are put off at the prospect of spending 60K+ PA on a niche sport with fuck all coverage in little old eNZed. The few racers that proceed are largely forced out by their credit card company after a year or two. Yes, motorcycle racing is expensive but it needn't be unnecessarily so. The fact that the pointy end of the field is largely comprised of dad's army speaks volumes.

1 x Mobile dyno + scales vs every rider spending stupid amounts every year. Hmmm...lets mull over that.

Std suspension...riders will adapt their style, conserve their tyres during racing and perhaps choose compounds that last a bit longer.
