So out of curiosity who exactly sets the penalties, in essence who owns the penalty schedule. And what would be the formal process for changing the penalty schedule? This rule is set in the rulebook M7-4-1. You will need to go through you club representative for the SNZ conference to propose getting a remit to change this. So what your're saying is that the competitors don't set the regulations after all it is the clubs or at least their representative. Probably best I don't start on M7-4-1, suspect I'd would end up stuck in there for quiet some time |

There is also a remit AGM every second year where clubs put forward changes and theyb are voted on by the club reps at the AGM. |

The rules that can be changed "at any time" are Technical rules. Technical rules are subject to the consultation regime which has it's own unique process. See C15-3(b). The weight rule can only be changed via remit and as luck would have it the 2019 AGM is a remit year. The big question is what would you change the rule to which would be palatable to the AGM delegates? Note AGM delegates are 50% promoters representatives and 50% competitor representatives. You also need to be clear on the rationale to provide delegates with the reasoning.
C15-2 Changing the General Regulations
(a) Changes to the General Regulations of SNZ may be made only every two years at an AGM, or at a Special General Meeting called for the purpose.
(b) Changes to the General Regulations of SNZ will be passed by a simple majority of those eligible to vote.
(c) Any proposed alteration to, addition to or rescinding of the General Regulations of SNZ will be deemed to be a remit.
(d) Remits to change the General Regulations can only be submitted any SNZ member at least 60 days prior to the AGM.
(e) All remits will be circulated by the General Manager at least 40 days prior to the AGM.
C15-3 Changing the Technical and Racing Rules
(a) (i) Changes are made only every two years at an AGM, or at a Special General Meeting called for the purpose.
(ii) Changes are passed by a simple majority of those eligible to vote.
(iii) Voting for additions and alterations to racing rules will be one promoter’s representative and one competitor’s representative per track that contracted the relevant class in that current season.
(iv) Any proposed alteration to, addition to or rescinding of these Racing Rules are deemed to be a remit.
(v) Remits to change Equipment (Section E), Safety (Section S) or Racing Rules (Section R) can only be submitted by any SNZ member at least 60 days prior to the AGM.
(b) After consultation with the technical committees, competitors and tracks of the class concerned, the Board can alter or add to the regulations or technical rules relating to a class.

This was at presidents cup, gio scezli against jmac was one of the best races at avalon ive seen. Was a shame a couple silly mistakes at classic for gio under weight at scales then not wearing arm restraints. So had to start so back in c main This post from the "American Info" thread suggests the SNZ may be a bit OTT when it comes to a penalty for this infringement. What is also of note is that the officials were very specific in what they were policing. At no stage during the night were the engines compression tested, the right rear tyres were never checked with a durometer and no cars were measured to see if they were over width before going out onto the track. I'd suggest that any or all of the above, if outside the specified criteria, would provide a much greater advantage to a competitor than being slightly under the weight limit. What you have to realise is that the car would have been over for all but the last couple of laps of the race; in fact, as he won the race, doing the victory lap with the flag may have put the nail in his coffin. All those other infractions would provide a benefit throughout the entire duration of a race. |
