NZ Nationals race length

[vinducati]

Maybe they should have a different charge.
ie: charge Supersport and Superbike class more?
Also as a spectator I really don't want to go to a National meeting and see clubmans.
Sorry, it's the truth.

[Drew]

Do they run sidecars at the Nationals....

FUCK YEAH!

It's all about the skids man!

maybe thens your time to go and have a look through the pits? There are a number of people who dont fit into the national classes for various reasons, ability or ineligible machines etc but still want to have a shot so if there's room it's still a valid class, other people are focussed on one class or two classes only and they cope, it's a sport after all.
big example is invers where there's a strong following of road racers due to the burt munro challenge but bikes for reasons stated earlier unable to race in points class, down there the biggest feild is usually clubbies

Where is the sarcastic font....

I think the sidecars could be really great from a spectator point of view if they had some numbers in the field. Last time I watched them at the nationals it was such a procession..... With massive gaps between each ummm bike... car?

Not sure of numbers this season for the nats. Someone said there were gonna be 19 of us at the Suzuki series though.

They're bikes by the way.

19 entered for Wanganui, should be better numbers for Nationals this year compared to last for our three short races

Motorbikes have TWO wheels, Tricycles have 3

the biggest threat this year is the ferry dilemna, having said that it's not a lot of years ago there were i think 23 machines at timaru for the first round of the nats, they had some troubled times a couple of years ago but back on form now just make sure you're there......

[gixerracer]

except jimmy smith was quicker at taupo last weekend that shirtlifter on an 08 bike with worn out continentals.....
there's a few more in the mix this year it's going to be busy at that end of the feild

Chicken legs did not go faster than shirtlifter and was on Pirellis new stuff not worn out contis

Be good if you can achieve that, normally don't watch because four rigs circulating on different points of the track has little appeal, but a bunch of them, having battles and a bit of push and shove could be fun. Any girl based rigs on the go? my daughter has this nutty idea about having a bash as a swinger ( dirty little schoolboy sniggers about now I bet.......)

I see your buddy Waters out last friday to have a practise on another rig, you scared?

Not quite true,

The biggest threat is whether there will be enough rigs left in the country to make up the numbers for the North Island rounds

[Kickaha]

Only Tracey and Tina on Pinky, we can probably organise a few laps for her one test day

I see your buddy Waters out last friday to have a practise on another rig, you scared?

I'm not scared of that big poof, he didn't ever beat us on the last one he rode

The biggest threat is whether there will be enough rigs left in the country to make up the numbers for the North Island rounds

There will be, although we're not sure it's worth heading North for such short races

so you've only been to nationals about once in the last ten years then? fairs fair, they did have a rough patch but seem to have pulled themselves out of it although from what billy is saying......?????

Not sure they will be that short at Manfeild but I won't know that for sure til Monday when I get their final format,Taupo and Timaru both have severe time restraints and with the Postie TTs at Taupo,They don't have time for a support class at all,MCI elected to run 2 support classes plus the extra GP class,Guess we're never gonna please everybody and certainly aren't in a position to start telling the tracks how long we're going to be racing.On that note,It is what it is,If it's not good enough then your entry may be the one that sinks the chairs in the North Island.
