So its,
Racing... all racing classes = Comp Riding
Stunt.... not racing but stunting = Comp Riding
trails..... not racing but timed = Comp Riding
Drags.... Draging not ya typical racing like we do = Comp Riding
Buckets. racing, the ONLY racing class out side of the racing forum
= bollocks!

It would be BMRC under clubs not buckets.

If you go and actually check out the Classic Sidecar Racing forum, it should actually be under the Competition Riding forum, not under clubs. All the above forums are correct, Trials is as much a Competition Riding event as is Drags etc as is Buckets, stop nit picking!! Yeah, agree NZPCRA is under clubs but would probably get more exposure under the Comp Riding banner maybe?

And F4/F5 are not new terms, have probably been in your Rule book for at least 15 years!

I DISAGREE NO, well not down here anyway... buckets is NOT a beginers/youngster class, for that there is 150 streestock.
Let me tell you why, bikes down here have lap times not far off F1 on B track, we are fast and agressive that is no place for a learner, eg: two years ago a backmarker (youngster) colided with me as I pased, he went down hard and fast, he was KOed and having a fit by the time I got back to him, it was frightening... he freaked out when the race leader passed on the inside ans stod his bike up and went straight as I passed on the outside.

That backmarker at the time had been racing longer and had more racing experiences than you did

MY POINT IS... and I dont know how long Nipper has been racing but thats erlevent cos

he is a YOUNGESTER and he is LEARNING ie hes a beginer, time in the saddle has nothing to do with it, if what you say is correct, then perhaps he should look for another hobbie.

BTW what does track time mean anyway, its riding capibilitys in general, that reflects your skill on the track some how I dont think he was riding like me in 1980 in fact he wasent born

your post is meningless.

if that was the case (and I know at that time he had been racing longer than D had) then his 'experience' would have taught him to hold his line and not stand the bike up. So maybe his experience wasn't all that extensive...

Not getting at Nipper at all, cos it was very scary for all to see him on the track. He's just an unfortunate example of some (and I say SOME cos others have huge experience and do well, but still fk up occasionally)... Some young riders in a class they probably shouldn't be in till they have had a few years under their belt, be it road or track. Experience can only be learned over time.
Buckets in chch CAN be extremely close and tricky racing at times.

Who said it's disadvantaged? I only said it looks better F4/F5 on official stuff and helps raise the awareness of the official name.

The very reason we split F4 classes on lap times/experience.

guys, guys. Why can't we all just get alowng

There's no need to fight about it. We should be able to sort this issue out with reason, or a ballot.

. . . or perhaps a race!

Geeze, what a bunch of bitches!

I don't know if it really matters what we're referred to on KB, most of us have alias user names so we can't be too worried about the correct name for things. Generally bucket people are the ones who use the forum and most of us know that we are also F4 and F5 so isn't that all that matters?
Now get back to your knitting and baking girls.
