[QUOTE=Nonbeliever;1129636694]yeah, the "new" class hasnt worked for getting more entries so far.

I'd have another two classes run seperatley to sbk and ss.

a 600 and a 1000 "streetbike" class where you are limited to a pipe,pc,air filter,braided lines,pads,chain/sprockets and STREET tyres (not dot legal race rubber) with a limit of 1 front and 2 rears per meeting.This would be a far more cost effective class without the big dollar outlay on suspension,tyres etc and get more people on the track with similar spec bikes for some close racing.

I'd can sidecars and streetstock and clubmans etc and limit national meets to :

sbk, ss ,1000streetbike, 600 streetbike ,125gp

Just my opinion I know some will dissagree[/QUOTE

Your right for sure on one count - some will dissagree.

Can Streetstock! This would have a detrimental effect to the overall future of racing in NZ in my opinion. Its a class that is brilliant both for the sport and for spectators to see a field with (usually) many entered.

With stock suspension - I would imagine tyre life would suffer.

Could work though - what the fuck would I know anyway. Food for thought.

ok were only in its first season next year will be the telling year for it

**codgyoleracer** · 11th March 2010, 10:38

Maybe 600's is a more likely contender as a class for the superstocky thing ?, - but i suspect it would need to be a one rule class (not supersport / superstock combined), as is there realistically enough riders / teams to do both ?
