Groovy

obviously the GP isn't Lemon start other wise it wouldn't be a GP, that must be for a support race.

Lemon start and playing about with whatever will be on the Saturday. We can give you a lemon start for the GP if you like so that you don't get in anyone's way if your 100 expires.

I've had a couple of Lemon starts in the 50. Once when 'orrible Aucklanders jumped the start so obviously I didn't bother to let the clutch out assuming it would be restarted (would be good to know if the starter will be strict or lax at this meeting so we know if its ok to cheat). & another year when my 50 got the blubbers so bad it wouldn't go for 1/2 a lap.

Then on the 100 when, well I think it expired & I had to jump over the fence at TRRS only to have the the flagpole I was holding onto come with me as some muppet hadn't attached it to anything, a decent wind would have blown it onto the track in front of a thou doing a million. but boy did the assembled masses laugh at me. Thanks track maintenance jerk, I owe you one

.

Anyway that's 3rd time lucky so I can expect decent starts from now thanks.

MNZ rule change procedure:

MNZ Rule change Form:

And here's a concept (scribbled down this morning. so please excuse the spelling or grammer) also of note, I didn't mention cost (but I'm assuming it will be less that the $100 upgrade):
"Special Event Upgrade Licence" one off supplementary to one's current Club Licence:
Attachment 278589

Any submissions need to be undertaken by a club.
Maybe all the bucket racing clubs should submit on a common rule change to ensure that the bucket racing community is satisfied...

Maybe some progress on this one.. Maybe.. (including new spelling errors)... Heehee
Big thanks to Vic club for supporting the submission.
Made it through to the 2013 proposed changes, so maybe it might fly.

Let's hope it helps with the next GP..
