Not for you fast fuckers!

Nah, plenty of room under the awning mate if you don't mind slumming it out in the sticks instead of one of those rockstar garages.

See the updated first post.

We still have ZERO entries in the Open F1/F2 support class. If we don't get some VERY soon we will scrap it. If you're thinking about it - think quick!

See our website for details of the programme etc. Remember to get yourself sorted on Friday as we are on track at 8:30!

Scrap it and double the tracktime for 125GP/GPMono class.

Shame about the response Andrew, but does the average non-KB club member know about the change to the programme? Might be worth putting out a generic email to Vic Club members? Wack it out and stipulate a deadline of Friday (or whatever) for entries or it will be canned and see if you can't scare a few more bikes outta the woodwork?

Ya caught me on the hop with the late change to the programme so I'm stuck out at work 'til the end of the week and my busted bike is currently spread over an area roughly the size of Kansas. I'm keen but I just need a coupla things to fall into place before I can commit.

Thanks for putting up the programme. Just to clarify, there's no scrub for the Open class on Sunday? I'm wondering if 2 x qualifying is a lil' unnecessary for those of us not racing for sheep stations and another race (making it 3 rather than 2 for the weekend) might be a lil' more attractive for the average punter?

Sorry if I'm telling you how to suck eggs, just trying toi help you balance the books with a few more entries.

Valid questions. Correct - no scrub for Open or Development classes Sunday. Only Nationals Classes get the scrub. This is part of the MNZ 'set programme'; same with the two races rather than three for non-National Title classes. That's one reason for the cheaper entry fee.

The reason for the late inclusion was getting the extended track time. I got it after the original programme on the entry form was set.

If the programme runs really, really well - very, very unlikely! - we could fit an extra Open race at the end of the Sunday. But I never said that as I can not see it happening at all. Less than 0.05% chance.

To clarify: ALL bikes that meet the F1 and F2 rules on the Vic Club website can enter. The class is subject to qualifying for safety reasons. I expect the cut off will be about 1:44 to 1:48 and above. It really depends who enters.

If that's too fast try the Development class.
