VMCC DO already subsidise the races mate, THE WHOLE club is run by people who do it for FREE and from passion

The best subsidy any one could ask for, but hang in there, there are more lawns to mow and windows to wash out there yet

Spot on again, young Ginga

you forgot modest and humble.

I've just read through the whole thread and if ever there was signs of the tall poppy thing running this would be it.

I read heaps of threads for months about lack of sponsors, lack of TV coverage... rant, rant.

These guys have already lifted their game, and now they're bringing in sponsorship for everyone and seeking TV coverage and a whole bunch of people have a problem with it.

To me the whole thing seems real simple

- you welcome the sponsorship with open arms
- you do everything you can to get bikes on the grid
- only good things can come from this and it's way overdue
- it's great to see a club, club members and riders working to improve the sports appeal
- this is a pivotal point and you've seen a couple of riders lay it on for their sponsor and the sponsor has responded. It was and is a win-win deal.
- now collectively as racers you need to dust off every thou you can find because this could be win-win for the sport as a whole.
- and I mean even if you have to borrow one.

If you think LG aren't serious you only have to look at the motor racing.

I'm guessing TV coverage means more and bigger sponsors and more spectators.

The question is not whether a 600 rider can beat a thou. The question is do you want sponsorship and coverage of the sport to improve. Do you want crowds. If this goes well there will be a sponsorship trickle down meaning even tail enders get sponsors.

So right now, thinking solely about the sport... what do you think would be the best way to respond to LG sponsorhip.

Personally I think you need to get people phoning around and finding superbikes for the grid, even if you have to give them free entry and a small contribution. If you piss all over this sponsorship and don't make it work then you only have yourselves to blame for where the sport is now.

Surely you can dig up bikes and sponsors and riders for them?

I've read this whole thread and it seems to me there has been a lot of looking at this the wrong way round. The Vic Club seems to have understood and looked at it the right way. And LG are giving away prizes per meet. When was the last time that happened.

Seriously take a moment and smell the roses. You either water them and nurture them or let them die.



That's me thoughts and GREAT JOB to ALL THOSE who put this together and THOSE that turn up to SUPPORT IT.

When it's all laid out like this it makes a lot more sense. Well explained that man.
Good luck to all concerned in getting it to work as there could be positive flow on effects for all road racing if it does.

Yep..............very well articulated Mystic.

I'm sure that is exactly what Ed and LG are aiming at.........................take away peoples emotions (yes I'm guilty of these too) and ya get the plain facts.

I hear that a certain D McAdam will be racing in the superbikes class again this year.

All donations gratefully accepted!

Would be great to have him back competing. He has been my favorite racer to watch through the Wanganui esses since ages ago.

[dickytoo]

he's entered for the whole series.

hopefully we can get him to both wanganui and paeroa this year. he did bloody well the last time he was in wanganui.

makes me wish i was back in enzed again.

Maybe someone should organise a cup for the lady with the most points for the series like the old codgers cup. Theres a few contenders this year. The "LB Cup" wonder if she would approve. Just an idea!
