    Nah nah, that is waaaaay too obvious.

    No, my question is more, at which meetings and circuits?
    For example, Manfeild is already pretty over committed with people wanting to use the track (there are only so many weekends in a year) and VMCC (for example) already has too many classes and is at a level where people must qualify to race in many classes.

    There are of course other places to race, but would be good to know where you plan to be.

    Cheers dude and catch ya on Fri/Sat.

    Good on you for this great inititave.

    I remeber way back in the days the "production" races at Pukekohe.

    Yamaha 350's ( later 400's) and Kawasaki H2 750's in the large class.

    We all had pretty much the same bikes andf it was skil that shone through.

    Crosby was the particular rider I remember, he ran rings around us and played games while racing.

    It was also very exciting for the crowds as there was a lot of dicing for position.

    I also attended a racing school at Brands Hatch in 1979. We all were on Honda CB400\4 bikes that had all been stripped for racing. That was real fun also.

    Holey cow guys. this is silly.
    A bloke want's to invest HIS OWN money into running a single make race class. HIS rules are clear cut as they are HIS bikes. Even if they were Lifan 200's (which of course they aren't )-thats about a 100k investment in the bikes and suspension.
    Fuck this -- SHAUN where do I sighn?

    Great idea and would suit a lot of racers (current and wannabes). Most of us just want to race without getting another mortgage and can't be arsed about bike prep. (Fatties can either go on a diet or race cars with other fatties)
    Q. Will there be a race series this summer (i.e. at the nationals) - are MNZ on board?

    MNZ make the rules, anything else has to be supplementary regulations for the event

    Post 1 he says Nationals for $5000, however the classes have been set and the entry forms are out so unless the bikes are running in an already exisiting class I can't see another class getting added in?

    However it's a fantatstic idea and it'd be good to see it get off the ground , the pricing is certainly affordable because at $5K to do the Nationals it's fairly cheap (unless you crash)

    What a great way for up n coming riders to learn the art of "cutting a sponsorship deal".
    Pitch a proposal to your local companies, and cut your racing costs to damn near nil.
    Companies like Gallagher, Marac, Talley's, Orcon etc would find a five G deal as a piss in a bucket, and get a sub deal cut with local smaller firms to cover repairs to a set cost.
    If people can't get out racing with an offer like Shaun's, then they really don't have the commitment they think they have. MHO

    So must either be Trumpy 675's in SP or Hyosungs in ProTwins then eh?...

    My guess would be either Kawasaki ZX6, or ER6 in the above classes.
    Anybody else want to get their guess in?
