When is the clash of the tank Titans going to take place ,sooner or later ,is it a road show like a tri series ,or just a one off special ..
We need to generate some enthusiasm in the sport and keep it up ,dodgem racing with the exception of teams event and the spotlight on Rotorua,s calendar of events is fast becoming a bore to many die hard fans across our great country
How hard is it to spice it up and show the paying public something to look forward too in a season under level one ..

Sorry midway, can't agree. I think the Superstock racing I saw last year was consistently some of the best I've personally seen in years and years. I take your point tho about new events are always welcome. Maybe resurrect the old WW111 tanks v other chassis. I always thought that was a good idea, altho it got hijacked a little and become little more than a farce at the end (think 5v4, fathers v sons etc). I guess the fact Spanks are so prevalent with top drivers these days means maybe the quality might not be there for a tank team, I don't know, but it's prob worth a crack if they can get a quality line up, not just anyone who wants to have a go. |

The one thing I've always gone well that's a great idea. Is like Wellington hosting meeanee. 1 streetstocks race, one stockcars race, one superstocks, win two and the track claims honours and branging rights. Chuck on 4 mini stocks races and you have 16 races and a great night. Well that's what I've always thought would be a great night.

No need to feel sorry  just broaden your horizons ,youve said it in one phrase of the sentence (ive seen in years and years ) so i take it that the others werent that great ,and that is my point ,like polishing your boots till the nugget wears off .. |

Just my opinion, but well things progress and evolve. Peter Rees new 2021 Tank isn't the 1971 Bob Jamison Tank, Peters one was made about 50 years after Bobs so of course construction methods and the design have been changed and improved. When its finished if I ask my six year old niece what sort of car it is she'll call it a tank, just like 80% of the crowd will. There are no technical standard plans to refer to for identifying Flat Chassis, Tri Rail, Space Frame, Spank, Hamilton/Pipe Chassis, or Tanks on the SNZ site. Just stuff on roll cages and bumper heights and stuff all cars have in common. Whats real about it is that its mean, and it's going to be out there doing it.

It is still a spank rather than a tank in my opinion. Tanks where outdated several decades ago hence the redesign borrowing what would work from the tank for a modern and competitive design. Its good to see some are still playing around with designs even if it is for a mass produce market. Will be watching with interest how it performs against other designs this coming season.  |

Finally. someone else see's that the Rees "tanks" an't tanks but plated spacies, ever have been tanks, never will be.
A true tank is a monocoque chassis built from plate.
