Is the timing of the nationals wrong?

Of course not everone thoinks youth has a part to play in our sport's future but I for one certainly do. In that regard the current schedule is great.
The biggest class each year by far is the Streetsock 3 round support series in the South. Perfectly timed for a family holiday in the South Island. This year we had a family from Oz, another from up North who saw the 3 week holiday down south as the bonus. And it all fits in with the school holidays, suiting the 30 or so riders. Similarly for 125GP where there a lot still at school, and then they go north for the last two rounds. Not too much of a problem as it's relatively early in their school term.

Agreed, works great with the younger kids =).
Ultimately if your going to run nationals, you prepare months in advance.
I don't see having them in e.g March, is going to pull a extra 5 riders.
