    It has at times been given MNZ championship status but has never in the 3 years I've done it required any previous race experience.
    I guess as it is a "TIME TRIAL" as opposed to "RACE" makes a difference.
    The runs are done against the clock so you never see another competitor (there is usually more than 1 competitor on the course at a time but well spaced)

    Give it a go it is great fun, only go as fast as you want.

    Wont count Tony, but If someone were on to it they could do a late entry into Vics final round in clubbies, round 1 of the summer series, and round 1 of the tri series at manfield ! Would give them the three stamps they need to enter a street race !
    A girlfriend once asked " Why is it you seem to prefer to race, than spend time with me ?"
    The answer was simple ! "I'll prolly get bored with racing too, once i've nailed it !"

    Bowls can wait !

    Cliffhanger IS MNZ approved.

    However, most entrant purchase a "Day licence" which from memory will not work towards your minimum three stamps in a log book.

    So 3 stamps in your race licence log book is what you need to do a street race?

    Does it matter over what period of time? My first one is from the 19/06/08.

    And does the 3hr Endurance race count as one?

    Hi guys,
    I wouldnt mind having a crack at some racing,I know nothing about where to start apart from what I just read.
    I have a gsxr1000. Can I go racing on that? What class would I go in?
    I live near whangarei so the closet tracks are pukekohe and now Hampton downs, is there racing for newbies there?
    Any help or info on in the a direction would be great

    New To NZ Racing

    Hi Guys,

    landing midyear in NZ and want to get straight into racing there. Been racing in the SV650 Class here in SA this year and was wondering about race fearings, bike trailer and that sort of thing.

    Also who would be a good race machie in the Auckland area?

    What is generally accepted as the best class to start road racing in, for someone with a lot of MX/road riding, and occasional track day experience?
