89r/w (Read 1,759 times)

[Chopper]

To all the experts out there,

What are the rules regarding racing for multiple tracks? Do you have to purchase a seperate licence? Can you race for any track as long as you have a SNZ license? Do you have to be registered to a particular track for an entire season?

As I see that Dale Roberston is racing as 89r. If he is a Wellington Contracted Driver does that mean he should be racing as 89w? I have noticed drivers changing tracks in the past ie: Peter Rees raced with an N on his car when he raced the SI Champs last season and Malcolm Ngatai raced with an S on the car when he raced the NI champs last season.

Just wondering what sort of issues could arise if he was to win the NI Superstocks tonight? If he is a Wellington contracted driver racing with an R on the car would/could he be disqualified on a technicality?

Does anyone have the answer?

Cheers

you can pay your club membership to more than one track if you want to chase points at those tracks, but you must be contracted to a particular track, in dales case i think you will find that the superstock is registered to rotorua possibly with geoff james as the club member , but dale has been asked to drive it, but i also guess you could be a member and driver of two tracks in different classes , thats sort of how i understand things,

You can only contract to a 2nd track if your primary track does not register that grade. For example if you race a Production out of Huntly, and wanted to race a Streetstock you could register out of Kihikihi or Rotorua as Huntly don't register them. But if you wanted to run a Modified or Superstock etc you would have to register out of Huntly.

G8-1-12 Competitors must have a SNZ licence covering the appropriate
class of vehicle they are competing with. Track stewards may
only issue licences for the classes actually raced at their
particular track.
G8-1-13 Extension for further classes to enable competitors to race
different classes and vehicles elsewhere, must be applied for to,
and may be granted only by, the steward of the meeting where
the extra class is being run. Should a licence extension be made
into 2 & 3 wheels, it may be subject to a capitation levy.

Is this the rule???

You may not be completely correct. We at the Gisborne club, have some Hawkes Bay drivers contracted here as well as their own club, to compete for points. There are also Rotorua, Huntly and Kihikihi drivers that are members of more that one of those tracks that race for points at the other clubs.
I think it may come down to when each of the tracks you would be registered to actually race, and whether there are any conflicts of dates.

You can be a member of multiple clubs thats quite common. But you can only license to 1 track unless the conditions above apply.

Ie you can't be Production 88KG but you can register with Gisborne and be a member at 2K's.

I see what you are talking about now.

[sketchy]

so basically he has a license/contract to drive a stockcar at temarua.
and is a member of the wellington club.

he also has a license/contract to be a superstock driver at rotorua,while he could actually run it with a W on the side like 4w, and 54w. the car is contracted to rotorua, for what ever reason that is, and he is probably a club member there also.

but as they are 2 different cars/classes, its really making him a busy boy...he might be clocking up some air points this season..

[Racerman]

Cars ARE not contracted to any where!! there is no licensing for cars only COMPETITORS!

[BarryB]

The car is effectively contracted to Rotorua via its licensed owner/driver, Geoff James. Dale Robertson is currently the guest driver........

[alloyplatypus]

Do superstocks run as a seperate class at Te Marua yet?

[rick-taylor]

Not wanting to speak for the owner or driver here but I was talking to Geoff james the other day and quized him on the same issue.

Wellington do have registered superstocks, and Dale is registered to the Wellington club to race his stockcar.

Geoff is a member of the Rotorua club and contracts the car there to race as he lives in TePuke, with Dale doing the driving.

So it becomes slightly awkward with SNZ rules, but that is how they have been told to do it. At the end of the day, it would be silly to have this car/driver combination singled out for an administrative issue.

On another note, great to see Dale coming to grips with the car, good luck for tonight and heres hoping no more punctures !!

[fearless]

Its more of a win win situation for the club/spectator and driver.
The club has another club member with the possibilty of see him/her race or increase that class if its not raced there (Wellington low super numbers). Spectors see top drivers racing at their tracks and bigger fields. the driver does the miles and increases his skill. As long as the driver is contracted to a club and has permission from the club whats the problem?

you got it bb

No1: You can not do north island and south island title

No2: once you contract to a track if you wish to transfer your licence to another track it will cost $100 to transfer and you need the promotion to release you then if you want to transfer back same thing again

No3: you can not contract to two tracks at the same time
