It would also allow kids that want to step up to development class to run at the front on there bucket. Win win. Lets get it done. Move the sport forward and maybe we will see more young ones take it up.
Buckets is a class for tinkerers, not for kids. The young ones that do race backets have someone supporting them that does the tuning, fabricating and building, or at least someone who pays for it all.
The advantages for Buckets are they're relatively inexpensive, for a motorsport they're relatively safe, it's ridiculously competitive and has an excellent community. To get kids involved you have to convince the parents.

Which i think was the original point of the class...........
Classes evolve over time and the point of them changes. Change isn't a bad thing. The question is; is it time for Buckets in NZ to evolve?

They must've been slow 400's. Stock SV's are mostly in the back half of the field. Any SV's in the front half of the field have pretty much been to Warren Bridger or someone similar. The class leading SV's are far from stock.
But, F3 is an example of a class that's evolved and will continue to.
