Gp 2016

So we get the entry form the MNZ site and send it to AMCC Bucket secretary with the entry fee, plus $50 special licence fee ?

Am i correct in my thinking?

Special Event Upgrade – for Club Licence holders:

Clubs hosting Championship events (New Zealand, North or South Island Championships) excluding Street Road Race have the ability to provide at their events a Special Event Upgrade Licence. Notification of this licence being available at events will be made by the host Clubs by way of their entry form. Conditions of being issued with a Special Event Upgrade Licence are:

Fee $50
Competitors must indicate at the time of entering that they require a Special Event Upgrade Licence
Competitors must have competed in a minimum of:
Seniors – 3 previous MNZ permitted events; Junior & mini6 previous permitted events in the same discipline that the Special Event Upgrade Licence is being applied for, proof of which will be in their Log Book.
Limited to One Special Event Upgrade Licence per licencing year (1 July 2015 to 30 June 2016).
If you wish to compete at a Championship Event using this option check with the organising Club to ensure its availability.

The event would be the same, the winners would be the same and it might get the mnz's attention enough to actually do something useful for the class starting by a proper look at the way they arbitrarily adjust (ie fuck up) the class rules.

Great idea as long as you want to run it outside of MNZ (GPs under MNZ need their sanction and therefore the licence requirement) i.e. jack up your own liability insurance etc, convince the kart clubs that you have their end covered and then run a GP that is a GP because you say it is.
By the time you do all that it will probably jack the price for everybody up past the $100 for entry, transponder and an upgrade licence (guesstimate) that it is now.

Not an MNZ fanboy just like the security that running under them gives me as an occasional organiser type from an "If somebody dies I don't lose my house" end of things.

That's the one.

Entry form is now up on the MNZ website here

https://www.mnz.co.nz/docs/default-s...m.pdf?sfvrsn=2

The price on it for a day licence is wrong since we sent the forms in before we worked out we were selling them at a loss, this shouldn't be an issue since the only reason to pre enter is if you need the upgrade licence.

Looks fast, so only A grade go in Formula tok?

Does B grade need competition licence?

**chrisc** · 18th February 2016, 20:20

Don't enter Formula Tok if you're proper fast. It's dumb. There's one GP a year, come on lets race.
I'd rather finish 7th against fast riders than on the podium when the fast riders are in FT.

Formula Tokoroa was intended as a race for guys not fast enough to run in the GP, it has turned into a mix of that and guys that can't be bothered getting a full licence. I think one year the FT winner was fast enough for a podium in the GP.

Yea it's not really quite right is it...

It's kinda like admiring a tight ass in a Gstring only to find out it's a LadyBoy..
