Scooterazzi Easter Challenge - Advance Warning!

[fi5hy]

Where does it all end ????? First Kaitoke then the slipway then every meeting? The cost of MNZ will mean for most a $65.00 day all the time. I for one will not be bothered buying a race license ever time i ride my bucket and I'm sure as hell not going to buy one for a year. We have kept the buckets running down here for over 10 years with no need for the MNZ side of things so why start now? I might be wrong and I hope I am but all I can see is the Fields getting smaller and smaller as people can't be ass-ed with every thing that goes with riding their once fun bucket.
just my two cents. Just remember this is buckets we are not roaring around Manfield at a 200 km + we a riding around with our mates for a laugh at well under half that speed at the most.

Who said anything about Slipway?

I'm doing it for this event. Out of towners will already have theirs sorted anyway which is why I've done it as cheap as possible for this one event.
I don't see this sort of issue when anyone goes to Roys Hill. Why is it such an issue here?

Please everyone - stop moaning and just tell me if you're keen to race.

Nah mate, when I started racing we had race licences, that is why I became a member of the Vic club back then. It was only once we went to slipway did we remove the licence part.

The only way we used to be able to run at Kaitoke (way back when) was because VMCC paid a huge amount of the track fee, and this time round they are being good enough to say if you are not a club member, become one for this meeting and they will give you a day licence free. Remembering the day licences cost the club, so they will make a loss at it.

I do agree with you, I feel the same and that it is just buckets and it's all a pain in the arse and I surely hope that slipway does not become a MNZ affiliated meeting, but I'm not organising it. I've made my opinion clear but now I will shut up and let those who are doing it make the call.

The other option Skunk could have is to purchase personal liability insurance, and add that to the cost of the entry fee? How ever I would say that there would be a very high chance that to offset those costs, it would take a great deal more than $35 from each person added to the entry fee so were back to square one with MNZ being the most cost effective means of liability insurance for the organisers.

With a track like Kaitoke you can run a disclaimer on the entry from the same as everyone else has that would cover your ass just as well.

If only that was true, but no, I can't say I take responsibility for myself and my actions. Just like my drivers licence says I am a Donor but that still needs to be confirmed with next of kin if I die.

Some of you might remember a women in Christchurch a few years ago who organised a cycling event and was unfairly prosecuted following a fatality in the event. By the time she won on appeal she had lost her house and had two years of hell.

Exactly.

I might be wrong and I hope I am but all I can see is the Fields getting smaller and smaller as people can't be ass-ed with every thing that goes with riding their once fun bucket.

I hope that doesn't happen as well. But we are one serious accident away from potential losing Kaitoke or Slipway. Club membership and a licence is a small price to pay to protect what we have.

Two days racing for $115. I thought that was a good deal.

It's a great deal.

Please everyone - stop moaning and just tell me if you're keen to race.

Keener than a keen thing.

.

And MNZ will protect us from what?????? the track? the pain? the blood?

Just did it

[koba]

so when we run the bucket-only one-dayers at kaitoke, then this should also apply? I'm beginning to think so.

fuck no!!!!!!!

[Skunk]

Lawyers fees. Police etc... Remember Jarrods experience when it all went so wrong at Manfeild...

[Kendog]

The two strokes?

[Skunk]

Are you coming?...

...or just breathing hard?

[Kendog]

Are you coming?...

...or just breathing hard?

I will be there.

[fi5hy]

fuck no!!!!!!!

second that

[Slingshot]

Lets move this discussion to the social group, it's probably better that we argue in there rather than putting a negative slant on what's going to be an awesome event.

[Skunk]

This event now needs an organiser. Too much shit over $35 for me to be interested in this any longer.

[nudemetalz]

I did the last one, so gladly let someone else do the next one.


I went to a lot of trouble to secure the track for both days.
Please don't let this go down the gurgler, peoples !!
