Greymouth Street Races - Labour Weekend 2013

[Muzzab]

no pre89bugger oh well.

Not sure I want to get mixed up in the f3 class and be a moving shicane lol.

Why not, I will be raced in F3 in Nelson on my Pre82 GSX400 twin, and managed to keep out of the way of the fast buggers.....i'd be less game to go Pre89 to be honest.

Too true, bit of a long haul from Central Otago though, and there more chance the event will get rained out.

Huge crowd from Southland club coming up. Chuck yer bike in their container and catch a lift with one of those mofos.

I can't say sod all about the weather. Been a mixed bag the two times I've been there.

Your always welcome Warfy, entry's are flowing in nicely, a bit of interest from the North island motard boys as there is a supermotard round at ruapuna the weekend before greymouth, two weekends of racing in the one trip down south with a public holiday to drive home makes it a bit more appealing I guess.

OK Steve - a question. I'm told there's nothing in the supp regs relating to the recent rule changes - 22.6 and 22.8.

Rumour has it that street meetings are the same as nationals in that 22.8 applies - this would mean "shark fin" extra lock wiring etc as well as a tail light if you wish to race in the rain. It would be as well to clear this up early if only to aid the classic guys....

Thanks.

Ohhh, don't forget the three MNZ meetings in your chosen class in the twelve months prior to competing.

Thanks for that, I've highlighted that on what i have printed off from MNZ for Section 22 as well.

Yer was thinking about that earlier but decided to get dept paid off this year and if going that far would like to have a bit of time to look around a little.

The other problem is the time of year with lambing finishing and tailing starting were pretty busy so might look at the barry sheen next year after seeing how taking a couple of extra days off this year goes with the boss

Here is a copy of the rule taken from MNZ website, it does not state "in your chosen class"

Rule 22.8.15
Before competing in a Street Race or National points Road Race meeting in any championship class, a rider must have competed in at least 3 lower level Road Race circuit events with in the 12 months immediately prior, or be observed by a recognised senior competitor or suitably trained MNZ official, clearance for which must be obtained from the Road Race Commissioner, proof of this will be from entries in the logbook or of observed, written clearance from the Road Race Commissioner, only senior Championship licence holders may compete on the streets.

Oh, true dat. My mistake, as it was dicussed originally that it was in your class. I figured that's how the rule had presented in finished form.

Assumption is the mother of all fuck ups.
