What I didn't see was how a couple of amazing opportunity's have come to the floor.

Cams as a club have gone out of their way to put a proposal to us as a class, now giving us a viable alternative to the Winter series and they WANT us to have a say in their club and their meeting (which it looks like they are going to have plenty of).......go figure.

The other opportunity is the MotoFXR thing. While some are going to be bitter because they don't have a FXR. You need to think........this series is running at Motorcycling Canty meeting, do you think they will turn a bucket away because its not a FXR? Not on ya nelly, I would imagine you will still be rubbing shoulders with us MotoFXR boys and girls.

I for one, WONT be going back to the BEARs meeting. I have been a member of the BEARs club since I started racing (2001). But I would like to thank them for what they have done for me, in putting a series on during the past winters for us to have a bit of fun. Of late I have seen some bickering within the BEARs ranks and the Pre89 thing was handled poorly. Its time for me to move on and fortunately it towards a bright future for bucket racing..... the wee class that's getting noticed!

These are MY views, not the BMRC Clubs views
Brent Cotton

It seem that this post has cause some confusion and worry (why I'm unsure).

The Bears winter series and the BMRC is and will carry on the same as it always has. BUT we now have options for our brightening future. I was putting my views forward for discussion, it appear that some have read too much into what I was saying.

If you want some answers go to the CAMs AGM this Saturday, your answers are there!

Sorry Andy, but is it too much to ask that just ONE thread is for BMRC Discussion? In fact, its even titled that to try and help you out? If youre not a member of this club or race in the series, then this thread isnt really intended for you.
Therefore A: Dont bother reading it
and B: Don't bother replying, unless you have something useful to add

You can call MotoFXR all the fancy names you want at the end of the day they're still a "Bucket"

Hmmm better not enter your MotoFXR at Greymouth can't have anything to do with those "Buckets" or beter yet contact the organisers and get the class changed to MotoFXR so "Buckets can't enter

Hmmm, a MotoFXR is eligible for buckets, but a bucket aint necessarily going to be eligible for MotoFXR now is it? Bit like a ProTwin SV650 could run in F3, but a ZXR440 aint going to be in ProTwin now is it? C'mon, even you can figure this out, stop stirring ....

I can see ProTwin, F3 and Buckets in the MNZ rule book, can you point out what chapter has MotoFXR in it?

I see it as a great oppurtunity for MotoFXR but not neccesarily for buckets especially with people already suggesting they should run seperately

As much as I hate to agree with the Ginga he's right, it's also a public forum which any member can access so unless there is a way to exclude all but financial members of the BMRC then this thread like any other is open to any forum member to comment

I don't see the term "buckets" mentioned anywhere in MNZ rules either.
I didn't suggest they couldn't read, just maybe, it wasn't for them ... but if they are financial members, then fair enough! How long you had red hair for too?

Well, no one rang me!

I have sent an email out to all BMRC Members and hopefully that will help.

There has been no mention from BMRC that we are canning the winter series points races, I have no idea where people got that idea from!

Cams would like us to join in with them and they in turn are wanting to get more races next year including the Methven street race in April 2010. There are a few people who a dissalusioned with BEARS at the moment and it is their choice whether they race or not.

Really? perhaps you should have another look as it may not use the exact term "Buckets" but clearly mentions "Bucket racing"

CHAPTER 24
24 ROAD RACING - MINIATURE
24-1 The Miniature Road Racing class or `Bucket Racing’ as it is also known, shall be deemed to include solo motorcycles and sidecars.

I put it in bold to make it easier for your failing eye sight to pick it out

Ok whats in it for us would be the main question

The only real advantage I can see as someone has pointed out is the fact we wouldn't have to belong to two different clubs to be able to get our MNZ licence

So would we continue to race at the BEARs winter series as our own BMRC championship or are CAMs able to offer an alternative 5-6 round series for our Championship as last year CAMs only ran 4 meetings (source MNZ annual report) how many more are they planning to run if any?

There is also a bit of "culture difference" in the way BMRC go racing compared to the CAMs guys which I also see as a possible source of conflict as some CAMs members in the past have commented on Bucket racers being agressive in their riding

I'll think some more stuff up later
