Should this forum name be changed to Formula 4 and 5 instead of Buckets

[speedpro]

Those aussies are funny. Bucket racing started in Oz and has now spread to NZ - ha!

I remember communicating with them when it all was starting over there. It really quickly got all political with completely different rules in every state to the point where a bucket from one state wasn't legal in another state. I even joined the BRA for a while. I also sent them a write-up and photos from a meeting we had on the wharf in Wellington. There was a photo of a few bucket sidecars racing which really got them going but I'm pretty sure nothing came of it in the end.

They are pretty keen though so it's all good.

Ahh crap man, we have a NZ GP reconition, we are reconasised at streat races and hold our own Tourist Trophy, BOB cup... we do bloody well man, what d you want an hour on Shell sport... ohh hang on we have been on TV already.

I was thinking more along the lines of areas continuing to develop their own rules without regard to the MNZ rules and no longer having the numbers of legal bikes.

As long as everyone knows the real rules it won't happen like that. I'm concerned that people don't know what they're racing in.

At a Vic Club meet I had a rider ask me what the red and orange flag meant when it was shown at the dummy grid. With that sort awareness of the rulebook what hope is there?

Chch - superbuckets and proddies. Go a step further... (Actually I like the way that's done. Encourages beginners. We split classes on lap times at the Slipway.)

Are 'buckets' recognised by MNZ as F4 and F5 or is it something that was made up ?

...I don't even know where our stable of bikes sit in this F4 - F5classing

You've been drinking.

Seriously; I just think F4/F5 should be shown a little more. Buckets is what they are; F4 and F5 are their class. And pure class they are.

And this is why I introduced 'classic super F4's' and a 'womans trophy' and 'MOFO HOMO FIXERS'... Ill add any bloody thing for the fun of it, Proddie cup has always been there as far as I know... its all a good thing as it gives people a chance to aim at a gole other than the championship, which is only going to be one by a FXR or CBR, its about having fun and getting something back from ya efforts (like your crowd did with some silly certs from the BOB) we aint milioneares in BUCKETS but that dont stop us from racing and neither should it.

BTW...I don't even know where our stable of bikes sit in this F4 - F5classing
