Quick help needed - watercooled in which class?

[CookMySock]

Help!

We need to make a decision quickly. Heres the nzmmrc rules on this page.. scroll down the the "Rider and MiniMoto Classes" section.

http://www.nzmmrc.co.nz/page.php?2

Now, all the lower classes say "air cooled only". If I buy two watercooled bikes for the kids (14 and 15 y/o) what class will they race in ?


thanks,
Steve

The open class seems to be the only one....

[CookMySock]

1.02 crankcase standard air-cooled chinese only

Does this EXCLUDE the watercooled bikes from the junior classes ? or is this referring to CRANKCASES and not HEADS being watercooled ?

ta,
Steve

I know as much as you but on my watercooled motor the waterpump is in the crankcase so that may be the difference.

Someone please help.

Hi Steve

What is the age of your kids ?
Under NZMMRC if they are under 15 (?) they could only ride in the
junior open class

basically I need to know if these can be used as absolute beginners bikes, or will they class themselves out of racing by going watercooled ?

Hey DB!

Basically if your kids are under 15 the only class they can race them in would be Junior open. A bone stock B1 won't be very competitive in that class. If they are older than 15 they can come race in senior 14 and if they're fast enough senior 19, etc.

You should steal one of your kids bikes and come racing in Senior 14 with us! You'' gave a blast!!!

your kids would be in my class junior open, mike races a b1 in this class and its fine....dB if i was u i would buy the watercooled bike because there much more reliable and ur kids will have more fun on them


also i would race with the nzmmrc because there's more people and the tracks are better..and come to mt wellinton once a month for practice.

Hi DB Please note this part of the rule....
Kids Open (10—14 years) Please note racing in this class is only for children that have had racing experience and with there parents and the race committees approval.)
That was from the EBOP club rules but also applies to NZMMRC

A the junior open class is for the kids that were getting board of the slower bikes (daytona air cooled) and had good track experrence.
The Club commitee must see the kids on the bikes before they go out and race in the Jun open class as these 5-7hp bikes with kids on will do round 70-90km/h and at a rapid pace.

The next three NZMMRC meets are non points rounds and this would be a good chance to get the kids used to the bikes and prove them selves on the track infront of the committee before the next points round.

Also the next meet for the Edgecoumbe club is a fun day so good chance there to.

Hope that was helpful to ya

Hi Gadgit, others,

ok two watercooled bikes have been purchased, and on their way.. hopefully have them by the weekend. We have to nylon them etc etc, so we will bring them to the track, introduce ourselves, and buy a membership and get some advice.


thanks to all!
Steve
