Just seen the latest Midas points released for the series and want to make sure I have this right. Mosen gets a 21 day stand down - yet still receives points for finishing the feature and one would think prizemoney as well? This just gets more and more bizarre- yes you can keep your race points but we are going to ban you for 21 days. That’s like someone committing a crime and getting to keep the stolen goods they got caught red handed with😀 The 21 day stand down could likely be for something that happened in the pits after |

I don’t get it
Everyone complains about SNZ not doing anything. Then they complain about them doing things / trying to have efficiency re Pickens weigh in etc.
Here at Baypark you have the commentator going on about SNZ.
I don’t know why Mosen and Hodgson got their stand downs but if it is that bad that they have been stood down then it must have been pretty bad. If someone wants to detail what they did and then cite the rule book as to why they shouldn’t have been stood down then all good.
So far I have heard either Mosen put someone over after the race or something happened in the pits and Hodgson was walking across the track instead of being in his car / with an official.
Happy to be corrected but maybe SNZ should also publish breaches and what was done in regards to them citing the rules etc.

Looking at other competitor infringements the main penalty for contact after the chequered flag is 8 day suspension. Also interesting to note that they all exclude the driver from the race - so Mosen should have no points towards the Midas series for round 2.

Also interesting to note that they all exclude the driver from the race - so Mosen should have no points towards the Midas series for round 2. Most incidents of contact post the chequered flag are in contact classes or Ministocks. Different racing rules to open wheel classes. This may have been the rule applied: R10-5-30 If a driver retaliates on track during and/or after the race, the driver may be disqualified and receive no points or
prize moneyAnd in the Fixed Penalties schedule R10-5-30 AD Retaliation - On Track Or After Race - Disqualification plus $100 fine plus 22 day suspension It is also possible a more generic behavior rule within section M may have been applied. We will find out when the infringement register is updated. |

Can someone please explain to me why we play the American (along with the New Zealand) national anthem before the racing.
There was an Australian on track last night and the the Australian anthem was not played.
Do they do that overseas too? Play the national anthems of the countries represented on track before hand.
Genuinely interested

Great to see Pickens running a high line that knowone else was prepared to run - the car looked good up there. Buddy just had to much pace and control again up front and showed the class driver he is.
T-Mez car bounced around like a pogo and also spun in slicker components - looks a handful but can be quick in spurts.
Fabish has definitely stepped up with the new motor combination in the Terminator car. Some good young talent up to pace now with Austin and Insley.
Palmy will be interesting - fast and narrow track. I understand a few of the teams are missing out this round

Why was pickens in the b main? He was disqualified from one of his heat races, must admit Michael was good to watch last night using the high line🙂and watching Rodney Wood and Cole Wood in the 3rd Sprintcar heat was really cool, father and son fighting for the win,the old boy winning in the end 🙂👏 |

Genuinely interested Was the Aussie in the Midget class or something else? Barry B 98AUS Matt McCutcheon was racing in the Midgets. I suspect the reason the Australian anthem didn't play is that Matt is a Kiwi, and has raced Quarter Midgets, F2 Midgets, and Midgets out of Western Springs over the years. He is currently residing in Australia and seems to have picked up some cool circuit track opportunities over there. |

From Hayden Williams Facebook page. Great news.
Excited to announce Il be piloting the immaculate Carters tyres Spike Chassis Stanton SR11 35m owned by Shayne alach for the international rounds at waikaraka park on the 1st and at Baypark speedway on the 3rd January!
Massive thanks to Shayne,Aaron and his team for the opportunity! It’s a privilege to drive for a legend of NZ speedway!
It’s a real shame that draw-cards like Aaron and Brad have been stood down but the fans deserve the best show possible so hopefully we can add to that in some way!
See you all on New Year’s Day!

Pickens said there was nobody at the scales to weigh him so he carried on through
