I certainly wouldn't expect anyone to pay that much to do 1 race and be told they aren't good enough. (otherwise I would never have more than one race at a meeting myself)
Depending on entries we could have heats 1st then from those times you could qualify to go in the fastest group or the second fastest.
The only drawback I can see so far is if you have a really bad practice you could wind up in the second group when you normally be in the fastest
But so far I can't think of a better way around it.

Thank you for the clarification Nigel. Well done. I'm sure the bucket class will be as full as every year so far.
Now if only i can get my 50cc running a bit faster!!!!!!!
Anyone got a spare F4 they can loan Granma, Steve wont part with the RX?????????

LOL...... suck it up AJ. I thought you men can handle anything.

Anyways after much discussion with THE BOSS, I am allowed to ride the RX on the Monday in the GP. Yee Haa.

Watch out Trudes you are going to have some competition at the back. Hey if they have
an A & B GP race we may have an even better battle. One of the ladies racing at Mt Welly said
she will be coming as well, that means there will be the three of us having our own race. Cool aye!!!!! Now I really have to learn how to pass better.

Ladies???? That definitely wasn't me you were talking to then.
Henk is now trying to get my entry in and we can have our 3-way battle for last hehehe
I'm only going to look good (helmet on, visor down - otherwise the image is totally ruined).
So Ellen, you don't need another bike?

At last count there was about 28 buckets entered
Pretty impressive when you consider that the entry form has been out for less than 2 weeks
At the rate they are coming in it will be a bucket meeting that other classes can enter (if there is room)

Dam right it's about us.
I am even seriously thinking about finding someone else to be CoC for a while so I can enter too.
That will give some serious competition (at the back of B grade)

About twenty (in all other classes combined)
But to be fair, it is early yet, and their classes never fill as fast
