Bucket GP 2013

[richban]

Well I do love that track. I'm in. Like most I would prefer Taupo but I can get my kicks there at the last round of the Nats. Development class does not need a full license remember.

Blue flags please.

Choice.

The "fun races for non full licence holders" will probably be part of the Auckland points series, these dates are both in our calendar for Mt Wellington at the moment so what we will be doing is moving our normal race meet south by a bit and throwing the GP in so that it happens.

Struggling to overcome option 4

Drinking Port and camping is not for me?

[seymour14]

6 sidecars and we have a sidecar GP

Count us in, pending some more modifications. Four to go!

I obviously won't be able to ride but we also have my fathers 60th to attend and it could well be held either of those weekends, will have to confirm.

Its a ways away but better than traveling to Auckland which would see me out these days.

Taupo worked the year before with a track day support, broke even but that was 'cause it rained.

is the 100 dollar license ok or is it the 200 buck job

$100 OK for all races except the GP. The new licence structure is a bit of an arse for disciplines like ours where the "national championship" consists of one race.

Edit

I've just emailed Billy for a bit of clarification. On the website it doesn't mention the GP in amongst the "what licence do I need" bit and I can't find it in the rule book either. Would be nice if we could get by on the cheap one.

l bit stink but see what he comes back with. but if you have 50 riders doing 50s 100s and sidecars at that extra 100 bucks thats 5000 bucks for the sake of 400 bucks worth of cups and fake gold . would be more happy if mnz put some of are racing on tv or some adersting

after sitting down with the bible (Mnz MOMS); and for the life of me I can't find any thing that clears this up.

Fully understand Pumba..what about just bringing the family and camping, a bit of flagging or helping out for the sunday and I will shout you a day licence for the Saturday ..It would be great to see you guys ..

As long as it is in April it is in the Calendar. Shit it is only an hour through to Tokoroa track from here.

MNZ don't supply cups, all I got from them was a paper certificate and a cheep arse medal that said I was bucket sidecar champ !! I was going to send it back but they don't care about buckets anyway..I got a great trophy from the TRRS
So for all the extra money they would get , what would we get??

[Henk]

I emailed Billy who said he didn't know, hopefully Vicky from MNZ gets back to me on the email I sent her. As far as I can tell the full licence is required for national and Island championships, no mention of the TT or GP races. I'm guilty of assuming that we needed the full month licence for the GP but there is nothing in the rule book to back that up. In my case this opinion has been based on the fact that we use the GP as a defacto national champs since we don't have a national championship. The licence structure has changed since the last time the GP was run, hopefully we can get by with the cheap licences, will save sending a bucketful of cash to MNZ for one race and hopefully get the feilds up a bit. I'm guessing full licence required about half the people that turn up for the weekend will enter the GP, club licence or day licence and it will be every man and his dog.
If we can get by on club licences I feel a couple of side bets coming on. Keen Pumba?

Pretty sure if it's a National title,You'll need a National licence,Self explanatory really,Does't really matter what discipline it involves.Still won't hurt to wait for the official reply from Vicky
