Number of competitors for club meet?

I think VMCC pricing is fair, especially as most of the costs involved arent to do with the race, but travelling, accommodation, food and sometimes time off work to get there and do it. I understand motorsport is expensive, but raising the entry will put it out of reach of the likes of myself who scrape by by teaming up with like minded people to work together to save costs and the help of sponsorship.
Bear in mind, VMCC actually subsidise the costs a bit in realtion to transponder hire and for the entry fee, it is one of the cheapest and most technically up to date and well run series' - I remember my first PMCC round just gone, more expensive, no timing, no grid instructions etc...

i think vmcc is taking the piss actually, they make firken moonbeams out of this, and sure a profit should be made i agree, but they need to cut the numbers, to a sustainable level.
furthermore, i heard , and i hope im incorrect by saying this, there are only three races in f1, ( 6 laps only)now to my calculation thats 3 x 6 min= 18 minutes ( im clever huh..!!)
+ sure ya get a practice and a scrub in...
hmmm hardly worth travelling to mandfield for from auckland, and i wont unless there is a trackday invloved at the same time..
6 laps aint enough to make a huge difference (10 maybe) but 6 no way..
i reckon they are taking the piss, and are being very greedy..

anyways thats my story and im sticking to it...

if you have ANY questions on how the Vic club runs the meets, why don't you email the president directly... that way you will have ALL the FACTS... then you can bitch....

on that note,
did you know that the club has 2 SS150's for new riders to the sport,
they are putting their money up to get these bikes to the track and ready to race, ... that is where some of the money goes... BACK INTO THE SPORT!....
to me that is possitive.....
your talk is negitive....

Oh anothe way to spread classes out, how about a bunch of people give up tractor racing, and come GP racing..

If numbers are so high and grids are full, whats another 5 bikes per grid for a one day event? Increase grids to 40 bikes per class. How can that be any less safe that 35 bikes? If there's more interest and entries next year, increase the price and make it a two day event?

I like Garry's idea of crashed bikes being picked up after every second race too. If ambo is required then race should be red flagged but if someone just lowsides and are ok they can push their bike to saftey and wait. That has to be more incentive to not crash!

The 35 bike limit was set after a fatal accident the year before last when there was a huge F3 grid and several incidents. I for one would not like to see grids increased for that reason alone.

As for making it a two day event? Why not make it a 3 day event, run it at all the racetracks around NZ in the summer and call it the Vic Club National Points Series, and call the winners New Zealand National Champions. That way your almost sure to get low entries. PT.

the cross enters have there own class to ride in!
my opinion is its ok for them to cross enter, but only if there is space!
