My mind says dont be stupidBut the racer in me says bring it
Probably time to let go of that comment for everyone's benefit. It was made by a former Road Race Commissioner and from my outside observations Billy has been helpful and fair to all levels of the sport. And I am sure if Billy will let you have ago at the job if you think you can do it better. I sure as hell aint putting my hand up

Well Said (I don't think you are alone with that view)... Billy has done a sterling job (especially given what he had to start with) and its a thankless role..
Wicked if we could get it done with just a club license (I've not really convinced it will happen; but if you can find a hole....).
But I'm a bit on the fence regarding people racing the GP/tt on a "day/event license"; it does make a little bit of a mockery of the entire event..![]()
And before I get showered in sh!t, one has never been allowed to race the GP on a day/event license (please correct me if I'm wrong); I agree that the two tiered license structure hasn't done buckets (in particular the holding of the National GP) any favours. But without full submissions on the rules by all clubs then we're kind of stuck with it (and that hasn't happened thus far).
The extra $$ hopefully will see the benefit in the forth coming years; with better support from MNZ through out all classes; especially grass roots, where it is most important for the sport to remand popular.
You've been dying to use that haven't you...![]()
I think it's clear that any national title, under the umbrella of MNZ requires a full competition licence.
I think the post classic association branched away from MNZ so that they could run their own championships, as they saw fit. I THINK. Could be completely wrong on that score.
But it is an option for bucketeers, if the MNZ way is not agreeable to the majority.
Right, last race of the day if you don't do the GP or the GP if you do. We'll have to agree on some weird penalty and wether the winner or loser pays up. Not sure I'm keen on another penalty drink deal like I have with Koba, he owes me a drink from Taumarunui and I think it has anchovies in it![]()
Stock is best
When I raced the TRRS bucket GP it was made very clear to me I could go out on a day license (I did have to belong to a local M/C club) but would not qualify for points or podium, which suited me perfectly as it was the only national event I did. And to my knowledge everyone who went out didn't mind and we all got to play with our toys on the circular sandpit (even though one person's engine did spring a leak during qualifying (not that I'm bitching)).
The reason I was given it wasn't the norm (then) was they didn't want people going out in a national event without having done at least three meets so they had some idea of what to do out there.
I think that for buckets we should have the opportunity to be able to go out on a day license and simply not qualify for podium/title/points for a GP, even if that means we start at the back of the grid, if that is the only national event we do in a 12 month period (unless it is the same event and they fall say 11 and a half months apart). If we want to do more than one we have to get a race license. This way I believe will increase the popularity of the national bucket events, so people can have a go (or get away for an annual holiday) at low cost and some will then invest in a race license. I know a few people who would then go as like me simply don't have $200 more after paying the race fees.
Yes 4 strokes are for homos. Homo-sapiens that is, who have realized bigger is better.
