VMCC winter series under threat

[Cleve]

Slightly off topic but is there any chance of a VMCC SUMMER series.
We have Nationals, PMCC and AMCC (for us in North Is).
Nat's are all over (3 in South Is...), PMCC couldn't organise a piss up in a brewery and AMCC run at Puke.

VMCC do a GREAT series (in my limited experience) and spending Jan/Feb/March/April between Manfield and Taupo is much more appealing than: Fielding in winter, Puke at any time, PMCC at most times...

Might help with marshalls to in that in winter sitting at corners is a bitch but in summer would be quite pleasant...

Just an idea.

Come on cleve, PMCC do the best job they can, with the limited resorces they have , they are a very small club, and are facing the same problems as the Vic Club, and have always had to scratch the bottom of the barrel to get help at running race meetings. Unfortunately i feel most clubs are going down this road, lacking helpers. I have been racing over the last four years doing the full Vic Series, and PMCC, i might even take some time off the racing this year and give these guys a hand, QUOTE : (you only get something out of it , if you put some effort back in ) and i certainly don't want to see the series lost.
There would'nt be much racing to be had if we lost the one or even both clubs pulling out now would there !

Cheers Cleve. We put a bit of effort into trying to have things as professional and affordable as we can. I recently had this same discussion with another committee member, but I was intoxicated at the time and can no longer remember the details Seems like a brilliant idea to me. A topic for our next meeting.

I'm going to organise a beer and pizza night for potential helpers in the next few weeks so we can sort out the details. Let me know what night suits etc. That includes you Clivoris.

Monday & Tuesday nights are not good for me. Anything else I can work around with a little notice.

Cool. I can change as long as there is beer.

This is not the thread to discuss PMCC and I don't want to criticize anymore here. I appreciate PMCC try hard with their limited resources and at a track like Taupo, but they could do a lot better. Happy to discuss ideas that myself and other racers have if you are a member of PMCC.

Hi chanceyy. Follow the link from Bartman's first post in this thread. Somewhere on the vicclub website will be all the info you seek.

Same here.

To put it as a cheesy movie quote:

If you buy it I will come

[Bartman10]

What about a Friday night? To me a Friday seems sensible for beer and pizza.

How about Friday the 2nd of March? Let me know. That way I can clear a beer and pizza budget with the committee.

For the non-wellywood folk, I'll get some details out and you can mull over what you want to do.

Any other takers? It's only 6 or 7 days per year.

I'll keep you posted.

Right-o
