Your ideas please

I have never done a round of the winter series, but agree with the theory of setting the race order so that if time gets short, Street Stock, Clubbies and F1 still get their full track time. Its frustrating enough not being able to cross enter, and becomes a bit of a sore spot when you get one full length race and one very short one while your mates on F3/F2 bikes get 4 or 5 full length races in.
Top points to all you guys and gals that put in the hard yards in organising and marshaling these events. Cheers for your efforts.

Using the slip road wouldn't be enough warmup time. And using the 'standard' track could prove confusing for some. We don't want convergence issues over the back. Or anywhere, for that matter.

Weused to do this move the cones aside warm up lap use normal circuit and race on the full circuit its not that confusing if you get confused with that you shouldnt be riding

There's no manned marshal point at the turn after Higgins.
If Quaddie can move the cones, I guess it'd work.
Or just trust that the riders don't cock it up. Unfortunately, all it takes is one.

Also do not get me wrong I am not criticising just suggesting on how we used to run it.

It was very quick and effective as the long circuit adds about 40 seconds on doesnt sound much but add that up over the day.

Also could we have Final call as Final call as at the momment the Final Call is made and you still sit on the grid for sometime the FInal call should be as the gates are due to be open.

Do that and half of you will sit on the grid with your tyres cooling down while others are still putting their leathers on. Dummy grid is the buffer (which some still can't get to on time)

Be better if CJ would just say final call, not switch back and fourth between "third call", and "final call". Third call sounds like first call half the time.

1st call should be you are almost ready to go out start making your way down
2nd call should be gates are near opening be here
final call should be GATES ARE OPENING NOW

As at the momment final call we are waiting and there are others who are sitting there since 2nd call some even on 1st call and there tires have lost most of there heat and as we run such short distance races our tires dont get up to optimum temperature and you do see alot of crashes due to cold tires

Has anyone noticed the most crashes are in the left handers as we only have 2 it does make our tires colder any way on this side but if we have been stuck on the dummy grid for a long time then the left hand side is almost lethal there will be others who will agree with me

As stated I am not being a cock and having a cry

It was asked for our ideas that is my idea.

i reckon we have an all-in for 35min... no transponders... and the winner would be the one who can prove they were in front... bourbon will be expected at any hearing/disputes... the more bourbon, the the bigger the chance of you winning....


Ivan.... thanks for this...i think we have some positive things to talk about with the other here... ta man

[QUOTE=CHOPPA;1129821952]The long track is bloody dangerous imo when you come back on to normal track if you crash you will be straight into the wall!!



100% agree with this Choppa, and have bought it up a few times, they need the Air fence from the Wanganui club to very safely run the long track

Just can the long track, makes for an easier day to run time wise also

Yeah the long track is terrible for spectators, I dont really care to run it cause I just want to practice the national track and it wastes lots of time

Ta for that Ivan. I don't think your being a cock at all and it's great that you are posting your ideas. They do all get discussed in the back ground.

I think working out how many laps each class should race based on time on the track is a good idea BUT NOT A RACE BASED SOLELY ON TIME. In other words, as a racer I would like to know before the race how many laps I have to formulate some sort of attack plan while on the track. I didn't like R2 (I think) where it was only based on time and we had to work out how many laps that was going to be...spent half my time watching for the white flag....then I got shown it twice in one race!!!

Its not that hard to work out laps each class should run before the meeting based on how long that class takes to do a lap.

Personally I would rather x2 longer races in each class as opposed to x3 shorter races...this helps improve race craft as you have more time to play on the track with your competition.

Better for everyone, actually. Never enough marshals, so they're thin on that section. And flag calls at Start/Finish become much harder, because the lead bikes go out of sight and are really hard to pick up again. Which can (and did last time it was used?) lead to cockups. Chews up a lot of time with crash recovery too.
Not to mention Drew's liking for the other side of the tyres....

More expensive to hire as well? Just flag it save the hassle and run the short track
