Cemetery Circuit Prize Giving

[jellywrestler]

Doing nothing at all invites an earlier demise.

Fairs Fair Robert, the Cemetery Circuit Safety has a evolved a long way in the last five years alone, and they'll be looking at every incident this year for ways to improve it and also I'm sure anyone who takes the time to contact them with suggestions too.
They definitely haven't been doing 'nothing'

My first ever road race was Wanganui 1983, Countrywide Bank Series, finished 2nd to last in Junior Proddy RZ350, no cut off/qualifiying times, no tyre warmers or slicks, no Ohlin/Dukic supension, sign in and scrutineering 6 am on race day. Shit myself and and had a ball all at the same time. Went back most years to 1990 racing.
Now a spectator, last time I went was 2 or 3 years ago, left at 4pm when they were up to race 9 of 26 races. Why do they crash with all the good gear these days?
Robert Holden would be spinning in his grave listening to this shit about about mylaps/records, a race/meeting named after him.

exactually, it is because the new generation of so called racers are SOFT COCKS pure and simple!


Balls? yes they have them on the internet or some where, but in the old fashioned real world they are fukin useless

Faris fare my arse spider, you have become so involved in the politics of the inside of this shit with spending money to get ozzie riders out here to becoming a ( Sorry mate) boring bad commentator, that you cannot honestly diforce your self any longer!

Whilst I praise you for trying, I honestly thought you had more strength and integrigatity in ya

Guess it is all the drugs and SHIT you poke at others ( Whilst swallowing yourself spinner) is causing the problem here with respecting you any longer, but of course that will not stop me from reading about my passion and typing

That's your opinion Shaun, and you're entitled to it.
Like it or loathe it the Cemetery Circuit has been developing it's safety all along you may have noticed, among other things Air Fences, yes the same ones that are sometimes loaned to Manfeild, and a good section of them stationed at Hampton Downs for most of the year when they're not needed at the Cemetery Circuit, and have been offered to lend to Paeroa, but declined.
Safety is not perfect but it is constantly being looked at and upgraded my point is they don't sit back and do nothing.

Same reason people always have, because they're pushing hard and probably going a damn sight faster than anyone probably dreamed was possible back in your day

You need to take a look in the mirror. At least Spyda has never phoned my boss to complain about what I say on this site. Bit rich of you to call out others over 'integrity'.

safety is NOT the only problem Spider, CRAP CRAP managemenent is the main problem and has been for many years now

Fair statement and I dont envy the task

Come on. Even you don't believe that.
Everyone pushes just as hard as anyone ever did, relative to the equipment. The gear is much better, so the speeds are faster and the margin for error is finer than it ever was.
Besides, the world is very different place to when you (& I, let's face it) were young wannabes. It is no longer acceptable to accept death as a part of racing. You can hanker all you like for a return to the 'old days' - it's not likely to happen anytime soon. FFS - they used to crucify people, burn women at the stake, send people to the other side of the world for stealing a loaf of bread, put heads on spikes at the city gates. In the (really) old days, they used to live in caves and were scared of sabretooths...
The world has moved on. Get used to it.

Haha , i am old enough to remember bashing handlebars with you in the late 80's, didnt know you were nearly a ten year veteren back then........... :-)
IMO riders crash just as much now as they did then, its a simple formula really big fields in most classes & a tight (ish) mostly "one line only" circuit. People run out of room real quick. As you know yourself, - unless you have a "what if" escape plan for that tight manouvre your about to pull on someone at a circuit like W(h)wanganui , then you and others around you can be in deep shit reaaal quick.
Chuck in the usual % of club boys and semi-novice riders into the mix - and you have a recipe for the occasional woopsie.
Waiting on average 7-10min on the dummy grid with modern tyres (that hate getting cool), adds another dimension.

One simple solution Jelly to 1st & 2nd corner carnage at Wangas is to stagger & space the start grids to a greater level & move the start finish line forward a bit.

My 2c worth. See ya next year :-)

Thanks for the old photo Grant, poor old Nev's (# 41) not here anymore.
I wonder if anyone on here ? Is older than me. I started at Wanganui in the rain 1970, whenever the T350 Suzukis came out. Pity, photos weren't so plentiful in those days.
(yes they had cameras then !!)lol.

Fair play to you also Squire
