Good Shot of Blue Thunder Eddie, where are you and Yaz off to next Huntly's the next stop for us. I had to think about that Blue Thunder bit for a second... then figured you weren't talking about the mad accountant  Final tally - 8 hotdogs, 2 2pc chicken and chips and a punnet of chips over the two nights. I would post more but we're pushing the boundaries of taste already ;D I'm still tossing up whether or not to post your haka tho.... ;D I dont think he's too fussed, there was an amusing comment on his facebook page about it, it went up so fast I'd swear he texted it through before he got up again ;D |

Hey Marty can you please quote me from the Entry Form where it stipulates you have to race in the Qualifying to be able to run in the Consolations. The entry form is still on the Hawkes Bay web site www.hbspeedway.co.nz/wp-content/files/NI_Superstock_Champs09.pdfI think you will find the Entry Form does not make any mention of Consolations. Maybe another case of an SNZ official making a decision not based on fact. At least one Hawkes Bay SuperStock was sitting in the pits instead of racing on the second night, because of this incorrect decision? That was the reason that Rod McNaughton gave me when I questioned him as I said to him there were several that wanted to race why couldnt they it is just consolation races and we only have 11 and he told me they way the entry form had been written his hand were tied and he couldnt allow it I took his word and never checked the entry form nor did the people that wanted to drive Murray Long was going to drive the Silver Bullet Ian Barron was going to drive 59B 28B Jason Palamount couldnt race the qualifying because he only had done 2 meetings and wanted to race in the consoloations as well forget the others.But that was the reason given by SNZ Bruce Marty that's one of the major problems at the moment in speedway. Too many officials making decisions not based on fact or the Rule Book, that affect competitors who unfortunately bear the brunt of these "pie in the sky" decisions! We all make mistakes and I am sure Rod had no malicious intent when he stopped those drivers from racing in the consolation races on the second night. At the very least they are owed an apology. |

Why should drivers who didn't support the event from day one by racing in the qualifying races be allowed to race on the second night?
It was consolation races for those who didn't qualify on the first night.
How many times you go to two day meetings and see club cars only come out on the second night and clean up, good on ya Rod, if you cannot enter the event from day one then leave it in the shed.

Did you read this post?? Not all drivers could do both night. That was the reason that Rod McNaughton gave me when I questioned him as I said to him there were several that wanted to race why couldnt they it is just consolation races and we only have 11 and he told me they way the entry form had been written his hand were tied and he couldnt allow it I took his word and never checked the entry form nor did the people that wanted to drive Murray Long was going to drive the Silver Bullet Ian Barron was going to drive 59B 28B Jason Palamount couldnt race the qualifying because he only had done 2 meetings and wanted to race in the consoloations as well forget the others.But that was the reason given by SNZ Bruce |
