Street stock for Hampton nationals

[Shaun]

I undersatnd JT does not and never wanted the small bikes to be included at National level.

Where/when has JT said that?

Where/when has JT said that?

I heard directly from bucket competitors that they should not have been racing at the TRRS nor other large meetings - being told to them by JT.

[slowpoke]

Why were AMCC running posties as a support class? ..it seems abit random

It also broadens the appeal of the meeting, so you drag along a few of us ol' fulla's who remember pressing snotty young noses to bike shop windows mindlessly drooling over the first GPZ900 or RZ350 in all it's brand new glory, or seeing Dr Freeth, all knees and elbows, flapping away like a giant grasshopper on a Macintosh Suzuki back in the day.

For sheer diversity it's hard to beat a good field of post classics.

Well where the hell are you supposed to start then? Fork out on a 125GP bike? Or jump straight into F3?

Was the StreetStock class not one of the biggest fields at the South Island rounds?

[Billy]

Once again the experts have got it wrong,What JT actually said was "It should not be a National championship"

Hate to prove you wrong Billy, but they were told they shouldn't have even been racing at the TRRS as it was a big event and they shouldn't be there - the TRRS is certainly not a national championship meeting either.

[Billy]

Well thats great!Cause you havent,Woodys question was about streetstock and thats what I was refering to.Your statement was about bucketracers was it not ???

I did say bucket competitors yes - also said small bikes too.
What I should have said was as per the Ruapuna and Manfeild rounds of the Nationals. Didn't they race combined?

[Billy]

Yeah,I think the buckets were at Ruapuna and were definitely at Manfeild (both of them),If its buckets you were singling out,Then yeah they definitely shouldnt be at National meetings.The streetstock class SHOULD have enough entries too run as a stand alone class,IF the class is managed properly as is done in the South Island with a proper mentoring and tutoring program,NOT with the interference of money grabbing experts and conmen intent on watering the pool down with the introduction of more and more variations of the class.

This was more what I was referring to. How many are legally eligible up north?
But I also meant they were combined with buckets at a prestigeous National event. And that is what JT did not want to see.

[Billy]

Depends on which SS class you are referring too,There are 3 in the North with the Pacific club running 250 multis in their series and then theres 150 2stroke/4stroke and the new prolite 250 class introduced by MNZ too replace the 150 2 strokes as they become harder and harder to keep running.The class as I see it should be up to 150 2 stroke and up to 250 4 stroke twins,Anything else should be outlawed by the roadrace commission and permits with held for clubs attempting too alter the class through supp regs.The new pro lites class is growing at a rapid rate and with the backing of Kawasaki NZ and Hyosung NZ should be nurtured,Not interferred with
