Waikaraka Park Season Calendar (Read 651 times)

[scw]

Who has put this together? Has there been any thought put into it at all??

There are some major clashes i can see to this.

1) 12th/13th March, Superstock Teams Champs. On same weekend at Stratford is the Final of the Placemakers Superstock Series. (Stratford had Calendar out first)

2) 17th April 2010, Five Crown Spectacular- Final National Midget Series and Barry B 40 Lap Feature. This is same weekend as Aussie V8 Supercars in Hamilton. How many drivers or spectators will travel back from Hamilton after a big friday/saturday, do Waikaraka Park Saturday night and then go back to Hamilton on Sunday???

Would like to know other peoples thoughts here.

Major clashes?? Two over an entire season is hardly major

1) The Teams Champs are traditionally the second weekend in March (from memory). If another track has scheduled a Superstock event for this date it is they who should change. In any case the Mickey Mouse Superstock Series can change dates easier than the Teams Champs as the event affects less tracks.

2) Not everyone attends the V8's and this meeting is not running against any other track on that night. The meeting still has the potential to attract a crowd and drivers alike.

Agree with you percy on both accounts.v8 supercars are boring these days anyway in comparison to years gone by.
