New 600 production class

[Marknz]

If your fast enough to enter a 600 class at nationals you probably should be flagging any clubmans racing anyway, plus I reckon you get faster hanging out with quick riders than you do slower ones. Also I thought clubmans was for entry level riders, Ive seen some scared off because someone has come past them at what seems like warp factor 10, ie the speed difference is to great. Just my opinion thats all. good luck

Fair call, and food for thought. Cheers

When i enquired about rules for this class straight after AGM was told that it was still in planning and wouldnt happen till 2011 as no new classes/rules could be put forward untill 2010.
Think a few more will enter this class next year..............given the whole season to plan etc. Still think there are a couple of regs that arnt "quite right" IMHO

Not in the mood for reading rules at the mo, but so long as I could do pipe and shocks, I'd think it was a better class than the superstock thous. To run at the front of that class ya need the latest bike, and I dont know anyone who can afford that every season.

You can as well as a slip on muffler ( Removing cat converter is ok) and power commander

Air filter and motor STD

Lee bradford ( rides the airforce ZX6 ) will be doing the class in 2011 -

i suspect you'll find a number of riders in the smaller classes wanting to move up over the next year or two choosing to start in the prod 600 class rather than super sport.

i'd like to give it a go but i like playing with my bike too much.

Have heard there is 26 in the 600s! great stuff!!

[R6_kid:Me]

Not looking good if the lack of response is anything to go by, real shame as I thought this class offered an oppurtunity for riders to step up without having to sell a kidney to do so.

You don't seriously think that everyone who may be interested in this class are active members on Kiwibiker??? There is a fair number of people who either haven't heard about the website, or think that we're all raving homo's and wankers.

and its understandable why theres alot of keyboard heros make this site and its members look bad

and that was not aimed at you just a reply to your comment

On the same but different subject (I confuse myself sometimes!) I'm entering open stock production on the 750 anyone else entering OSP in the north?

[racerhead]

Well I was planning on doing the full 600 stock production this year but didnt have the money but at the moment the plan is to do the two north island rounds as work and funds allow.
But next year Ill be doing my best to do the full nationals in the stock production class.

[rd-racer255]

im doing the north isl rounds on a brand new purpose built super stock 2009 zx6r, i hope theres more entering!!!

Ill be doing the Manfield round in 600 stock production and after that the bike is up for sale so hopefully who ever buys it will be out there in 2011

Nah, I reckon the difference in riders and experience is way more than the difference in bikes from one year to the next. I look at what Sketchy did on the K5(?) GSXR600 and TonyOk on his original 06CBR1000RR and there's some serious speed there. It's not like there's 30 bikes in the class racing/testing week in week out exploiting minor weaknesses.

Just run what ya brung, get a taste for the different tracks (the 'Stock classes only exist at Nationals level) and take it from there. Worrying about not having the lastest bike is putting the cart before the horse I reckon.

There is simply no-one winning nationals premier classes on a bike that isn't the current model though.

I want to win races, not start them knowing it cant be done.
