Washed out Rnd4

[Nasty]

Can anyone tell me if the points for the races that were completed will be counted? and if not why not?

Take that up with Vic Club .. write to race@vicclub.co.nz

They are the ones who are running the races, therefore any discussions on them should be directed with them, not on KB, which most of the committee are not on here. Also any decision should posted on their website once they are made.

[Sketchy_Racer]

So I take it who ever makes the call will put up a public post on the vic club website outlinging wether or not the points will be counted or not and a reason why? No point emailing back one person then leaving the rest in the dark eh?

On another note, I initially thought that the canceling was a bit premature, but what you couldnt see from pit lane looking to the track was the fucken LAKES that were on the track. After seeing them, it was obvious that there was no possible way that anyone could race on the track at all. There was no question about it at all.

Great work VMCC

I will talk to the committee, but it will be posted on the Vic site, and everyone can check there for the decision.

Was interesting looking from the commentators room at the track I identified three seperate instances where there was no track showing at all.

Yeap, this is what im talking about, it would appear that we all have different understandings on the rules, and its just too confusing and 'grey'.

i was told by MNZ (produced the paperwork to back it up this morning) that i could run wet tires provided they met the rim specs. it's alot of money to buy wets then find out today we're not allowed to run them. If we all must run highway approved tires, ie no slick, no wet, then so be it, but the rules need to be clarified across the board for all clubs nationwide? does this sound reasonable? i would then expect that the MNZ steward would enforce the 'nationwide' rules as such

then there's the issue of safety in the wet i guess

NO,Theres no grey area at all.Vic club supplementary regs supplied with the original entry form clearly state Dot approved tyres only,Furthermore there was a special riders breif held immediately after the main breifing for ALL streetstock riders so the MNZ steward and Mel Jackson could inform all those riders involved that wets wre not allowed in streetstock.NO EXCEPTIONS.If you werent at the breifing you had no right to be out on the track

[Clivoris]

I'm not sure why but there will not be any points awarded for round 4. As has been suggested e-mail the club for an explanation from the decision makers, but something will go up on the site.
With regard to the street stock tyres my understanding is that the rules regarding wets were apparently changed by MNZ and the steward was informed on friday.

[speights_bud]

All i can say in regards to streetstock tires is that i e-mailed vic club, vic club said to e-mail MNZ as they use MNZ's rules, so i e-mailed MNZ, got no replies for about 2-3 weeks and after sending more e-mails to mnz i finally recieved a response. The person who sent me the e-mail from MNZ stated that:

"PLEASE READ RULE 22-12-10
ITEM 1 through to 7 this should clarify the rule for you, providing that
the tyre will fit the rim in accordance to the manufactures spec's."

However as it turns out the person at MNZ was not in any position to give the advise that they did.

So as the MNZ official i spoke to on the phone during the discussions at Rnd4 said to me that there has been a big case of miscommunication on MNZ's behalf, and i had been misinformed.

Admittedly i wasn't at the 'streetstock' briefing, no excuse there, but how are streetstock riders supposed to complete the extra briefing and then get to their bikes for the scrub in session, when all the other riders are leaving the dummy grid as the extra briefing finishes? perhaps the streetstock briefing should occur before the main riders briefing?

Personally i'd like to see the rules standardized between all the clubs.

What's done is done now, and i'll leave it at that.

The water on turn two appeared to at least cover the sidewalls of the tyres on the Nissan Patrol out there doing it's battleship impression.

Ah, that's the pic I was lookin' for!! Saw it happen from behind. Farkn impressive bin!! Looked even better before he went down, I swear there were two distinct sprays of water, one from each wheel. Very cool!

[CHOPPA]

Just checked the website, no points will be allocated for the races that run...

[svs]

I put that note up. somewhat a shame for me as i got more points in that race than i have so far this season! but that's racing. there were only 2 races run and things like the grant russell points go across many classes.

i went for a drive round the track at about 2pm. The entire track was under water at turns 2 and across the straight coming out the hairpin. There was no way that it was going to drain away in any sort of reasonable time.

Na def a good idea, i could see the puddles from the pits! Sweet thats a better explaination thanks! I didnt know anything about the grant russel points? but yeah that would be unfair to the other riders that didnt even get a race!

Hey, LBTW, that bike in the photo looks kinda familiar, dont you think?....

[driftn]

Some pillack was doing wheelies down the straights - hey err - scrub sessions are needed for BOTH tyres aren't they?


Wheelies are neither big nor clever

Sure were at one stage 2 riders next to each other, left me wondering on what could happen if that went tits up, as it was with the races been cut to 4 laps I feel that guys going out and doing wheelies and increasing the chances of the crash crew having to come out and dust up a broken bike or 2 therefore having the possabilty of having our 4 lap races dropped to 3 laps.
Im not agasint wheelies but there is a place and time for them and scrub sessions arent the time for them
