There is as always a couple of stand out applicants so far but if you do want to apply i havent yet decided so dont consider it to be a done deal already and sit on your hands everyone has the same chance to win.

Cheers for now Paul.

Big stuff such as wheels ( i have a set of forks here ,, require a bit of cunning to get back there ,,,can be done ,,,anyone ship cars back???? )

Also Knowledge. ..you never know what happens if you ask ....

Put together a strong package with clear goals and focus . and we can go from there

Hey Stephen,we bring cars back here on a regular basis,would have to check where they leave from,let me know if I can help
What sort of bits can you get for ZXR400s,this could come in handy??

Shit this is exactly what i'm looking for.

Just started getting into track days and am probably going to get into f3 racing towards the end of the year ( go BENT SPANNER RACING).

Unfortunatly i'm going to be overseas between the end of june and the end of september (well hopefully anyway)

So if that doesn't absolutly squash my chances please put my name in the hat. I maynot be the fastest rider out there but I certainly try hard enough

The really sad news is that of the 300 odd views of this thread only 7 people have sent me an email so far to ask to be in the hat.
For fucks sake if thats all that responds to an offer like this its a bloody sad guage of the desire to race a bike in this country isnt it ?????
Come on folks Male or Female dont matter to me but i need names to join the 3 girls and 4 guys so far asking.
The email addy is still listed on the opening post so use it please. There is no official criteria needing to be met to enter for this offer.

Stay safe and take care.
Cheers all Paul.

For myself, I thought of entering the competition but I believe at 31, there's more deserving young talent around who need the leg up far more than me.

I wouldn't take a lack of applicants personally mate, I think what you're doing is exactly what the sport needs. Good on ya.

**Joni** · 20th March 2007, 16:38

Shit WT, I would think you would be an ideal candidate... you have soooo much talent!!! I would think its about giving a talented rider a break into racing so he can achieve something...I would be sad if someone discounted you just because you were in your 30's....

Your call 100%... but my opinion would be.... go for it! After seeing you at Puke the other day... its pretty obvious you belong on the track!

OK. On the recomendation of a few close friends, I've changed my oppinion and sent through my application.

Thanks again for the opportunity Paul.

Bastard... and here I thought I had a shot... Good on ya. I'll be in f3 at the end of the year one way or another....

Not neccesarily young fella. Different sponsors look for different goals and atributes.

What suits one team wont suit another. Hence the brilliance of advertising a spot on the biggest forumNZ has to offer. You get a diverse range of applicants.

True.... Seems to be a few skinny fella's though so maybe not so diverse....
