Hi Greg,
Yes street races are signed of at commissioner level but the CoC and Steward have the right to change anything they see fit in the interests of safety on the day including track layout, protection, race order and groupings etc ( within the rules of course)
In my time of organising meetings I have never heard any reference to Motorsport NZ having any influence over how Motorcycling NZ affiliated events are run. Either I have missed something ( possible) or perhaps something has changed legally since your time as an Official ?
Motorcycling NZ Liability insurance covers our riders and organisers as far as I am aware.
We all have to submit track management plans to Motorcycling NZ and the tracks stating how we will run race meetings.
SI tracks to my understanding don't/can't run reverse due to inadequate run off, gravel traps etc when running reverse.
However a few years back they were running dirt motard sections at Ruapuna as you know, pretty sure some of that would have been against the normal flow.
Cheers
Dave
