Must have done 3 sancioned race meetings before you can race at the nationals or on the streets.

There is no clause in the rule book stating this year or any year, just 3 race meetings to prove your competant

Faaaaark POOS, wot you going to do mate?

Nationals too? Even in Clubmans? FUCK!!!!!!! FUCK FUCK FUCK! I'm screwed..............

I was gonna go down and do the Teretonga and Levels rounds (Clubmans), even had my better half looking forward to a week of cruising down South for a week with a race meeting either end.

I'm gonna have a look at the regs and see if this applies to the noobie Clubmans class, unless someone else knows off the top of their head.

Fuck this "take it like a man" shit, I'm going off to cry like a baby.......

Looking forward to receiving your entry

Regards

This is from the Organiser.

Wooohoooo, I'm soooo happy!!!

Otherwise I was seriously going to flag it for this year cause I've only got a budget to race 1ce or twice this year for any given race.

Can't wait!!

Very interesting. That will rip a few motards up. Wonder what class they will all decide to ride in. Might hit the F3 numbers a bit.

Also this bit:
Super Motard riders please Note:
There is a possibility that a dirt section may be added to this years Super Motard Races.

Maybe shortcut it through the cemetary? Jump a few grave stones maybe???

It's 100% fair enough! If you're racing motard, just because your bikes eligible for F3 and bears etc, leave them to it.

Otherwise every class looks like 1/2 fucking motard, and the way some guys ride their moto-x bikes it must really fuck a lot of riders of road race bikes off.

Not complaining at all, will make it alot easier on someone like myself racing in F3. After nearly getting clotheslined by one last year I'd be very happy to have an F3 class with normal racing bikes. Sadly this year I won't be able to attend. Maybe next year.

I'll be there in Post Classic Jnr and F3.

Get my third meeting under my belt at Taupo next weekend. I think that rule is a bit unfair though - maybe it should be 6 races to qualify you for Wangas - if racing in two classes you are getting 2x the track time as someone only entering one class, yet still have to go to three meetings.

**svs** · 6th October 2006, 08:30

the whole part about having to complete 3 meetings is because the street races are more dangerous than the track - there is no run-off etc.

in the UK a 'novice' rider must complete (that means cross the line, DNF's etc don't count!) 15 races at club level before being allowed any where near any sort of national level event. and you have to wear your bright orange bib the whole time. In the US and AUS you have to pass written and practical tests before you can get your license.

it's easy NZ. Don't knock it - but it'll change if there's too many numpty's on the track.

Deano - you might want to check the PostClassic regs. 'Normal' post classic is Pre-82
