MNZ board nominations

This may not be the right thread for this but, if you want to improve the Nat rounds how about dropping the clubmans class? If guys want to race let them race in their respective classes. If they dont have a class to race in, so be it. Seems crazy to have a guy out there on a $70K Ducati running around in a clubmans class.
Also, why is it necessary to have a lunch break? Is it for the benefit of the flaggies etc?
I've worked at a few of the Clearwater Classic golf events as a volunteer, standing at a hole holding signs up to keep quiet etc. Its a four day event with the first two days very long, over 12 hours in fact. They dont stop the tournament for a lunch break. Travelling marshalls cruise around and drop off a supplied meal etc and you take your own food etc. As a volunteer you know what you are getting your self into.
The same should apply to the flaggies etc.
Always seems strange to me that just when the action is really heating up and the crowd is arriving, everyone decides to stop .....
Just a thought for the future maybe?

This coming season we expect to have enough to be able to run three National rounds without needing any sidecars from up North

After two seasons of the BRon Anan Tuckerman Sidecar series do you not think its time to give up. I still have the TV coverage of last years Ruapuna round of the sidecar nationals & it's the most pathetic race ever. ( i see no one involved has put the coverage on youtube!) I also recall Dave Anan saying at an AGM that he didnt need any north islanders to come south as you have the numbers. (9 i think he estimated) Three seasons ago we had a great sidecar series down south with good numbers. Also you guys have'nt even had the numbers to do a three round series anyway. Surely Warwick it's time to conceed it did not work.

you mean the one where pete the pirate broke down over the back on the warm up lap, ran over to the pits and grabbed his spare bike to huge cheers from the crowd, the one where Dave and Warwick spun out to cheers from the crowd, the one where Bron and Simonsen where coming through the dipper on the warm up lap and the race had started and even when he came around onto the start line the starter didn't even bother to put out the start flag, and it was wet so everyone who was out there was having was a difficult time of it on slicks from memory....
There wasn't dicing going on but it was far from 'the most pathetic race ever'

do you not think its time to give up.

Funny you should say that because I'm thinking of doing exactly that

I actually think it's time the NZSRA collectively pulled it's head out of it's arse and started pushing to get members on the grid in NZ instead of acting like a pack of spoilt cunts who when they didn't get their way threw there toys out of the sandpit and didn't want to play anymore

So if Sidecars get the Arse from the Nationals (and deservedly so)which "may" just leave the Tri Series (and if what I heard was correct they wont be racing at that next year) and Paeroa will that be considered a "win'?

Would you mind explaining why the NZSRA has it;s head up it;s arse? I don;t want to type any INCORRECT non EXPLAINED comments about it, and as you are a CURRENT SC Racer, you will know more about it and there dramas?

just briefly of course, 6 A4 pages should do

The NZSRA has in it's constitution that one of it's aims is to "promote Sidecar racing" I personally believe that in the last two years they've been to busy bitching and moaning to do anything positive and it has had a negative effect on the class and they way it is perceived by others outside the class

They/we need to get the fuck over it and move on and try and do something positive over the next season and try to increase the numbers on the grid anywhere that has them as a class locally

If that isn't one of the primary aims then they may as well not bother

Let me make one thing clear though , I do believe the NZSRA has a legitimate grievance against MNZ for the way this has been handled especially by your mate Jim and if the way the Sidecars had done National rounds had been kept as it was these problems probably wouldn't have happened

Too compare apples with apples,There were a number of solo competitors that didnt want 3 rounds in the south island this past season also and they lobbied hard to get it changed.BUT when they failed,They still turned up and competed.

I'm not sure you're comparing apples with apples

Were those competitors represented by an MNZ affiliated club such as the NZSRA used to be?

Scrivy's written many times here that He or Chris didn't have anything to do with the whole drama over the Nationals over the last two seasons and you've come out and said this!!
You really should text each other to get you stories right, like Jim's witness's are supposed to have done...

[Grumph]

Funny you should say that because I'm thinking of doing exactly that...

About bloody time you stopped wasting your time and dosh on the bloody tricycles and finished one or two of the bikes you've been gunner do for ages.....

As I said earlier on this thread I assume next season's NZ sidecar champs are to be held in Aussie....can't see them being here.
