Pete Rees might as well stop building stock cars and start building saloon cars. i would say the guy that got taken out at the nz stockcars will be pissed off because we all know he would of got him at some stage

While we may be lead to believe its all good for the sport moving forward by showing OSH we are doing things safely. If you really think about it having different rules for teams racing does make a mockery of the fact that the rules are brought in for the safety of the drivers. It's like saying in a manufacturing plant on Monday and Wednesday you can wear Jandels and not steel cap boots even thou we are still using the same equipment doing the same jobs. If SNZ did have to answer to OSH over a teams racing incident you have to feel they are not going to agree with the different rule set.

Does anyone know if the NZ Superstock/Stockcar champs are now 3 nights or are they staying 2 nights?

Can someone post the confirmed title allocations?

Or did they pass as per outlined in pages 22-25 of the remits document? SNZ Remits

If you think poking the fire with a stick and not getting your hands burnt ,well think again ,the best keep trying and eventually end up in the roasting dish .

Define a flat, that will be the next conversation.

Some air, a little bit of air, no air, air at the top, none in the bottom, or, for rent.

Anyway, was there anything about prius or leaf streetstocks.

[busterbell]

I wonder how many right rears will now be fully enclosed and fortified. I remember in awe watching Cliff Frost race with 3 flat tyres and only losing one place at wfg 96 Nationals.
The more cotton wool the contact classes are shrouded in the more boring they become.
Must be time for the Tigers comeback!

No additional championships were added to the rule book.

A lot to digest with some new ideas for the rotation system which survived the SGM to live another day.

In theory 2022/23 allocated title tracks will have just six months to prepare although in reality I don't think much will change from what is currently scheduled

I do hope your digestive system can cope the new food for thought ideas, and does not rotate seeking change from what is the current schedule of daily chores

That's a long story. Still two days at this point in time but Huntly are still working on 3 days for the 2022 NZ Superstocks. Auckland is staying with two days for the 2022 NZ Stockcars. More work to be done between Club and the Board.

Interesting, thanks Percy.

That is going to make M4-4 rather hard to comply with (deadlines for date submissions to SNZ)

Call me selfish I don't know, but three days away from home with extra expenses and everything that goes with it is probably too much for me to commit to this season. With a few people to fund myself, logistics and travel I just can't prioritise it. Bummer really, I get the three day argument, but for me it means I'll pass and just travel once to Huntly this season for teams.

[percy]

Just on the proposed 3-day format for the Superstock title at Huntly....

The floor was unanimous or close to it in passing the remit limiting allocated titles to two days (in conjunction with no allocated titles on Boxing Day). If Huntly wants to seek a dispensation I wish them the best of luck. I can't see the board entertaining such a request given delegates have given a clear directive limiting titles to 2 days.

From a Commentators perspective absolutely stoked about the clash of Teams Bodies being addressed.
It will be interesting to see the new ''reveals'' just prior to ENZED Teams.

MyLaps is a brilliant live timing system and KartsportNZ have been using it for over 15 years or so.
However the sport should go further and introduce rules similar to Karting.
A competitors Transponder must be calibrated with the correct name, fully charged and on the Vehicle as part of scrutineering.
You cannot borrow another drivers Transponder.
If your Transponder fails the club should hold some spares which are then calibrated to have the correct name on it so it shows on live timing.
It's time to move forward with the ELS systems as it is not acceptable anymore to have random names on the screens who are not even racing or cars on track that simply do not have a transponder fitted!!.
If you are racing someone else's car for the night it must be compulsory to fit your own Transponder.

The Pits Media team have some awesome new software for on screen graphics which will take Live Streaming to another level but the drivers/Clubs/SNZ really need to fully embrace the technology and ensure it is used correctly.

Is over aggressive contact very common? how many stand downs have been issued since the rule came into effect for Superstocks?

Personally I can only recall the Gisborne guy who straight-lined Ron Tye at the NZ Champs at Wanganui and Dylan Marshall's big hit at Huntly.

I can't recall anything like that in Stockcars at my track in recent years.

Just asking, I greatly admire really skilled drivers like Graeme Ward and many others who can fire people into the wall but not follow them in and drive away with no damage.

I might be wrong but maybe if it hasn't been a problem it won't be a problem and fans won't notice much difference, with the utmost respect to all involved.

This rule is far too subjective and may cause a lot of disgruntled discussion, particularly at championship meetings unless SNZ paint over all the greyness with some black and white examples. There's mountains of video footage out there to choose from.

Sounded like right fronts as well. I agree they do. And I do not have an issue with the rule. If they can exempt teams. They have the power to exempt snz championships as well. Its all about how it will be enforced. And how they do that. Then do you get points for a dnf with a type and zero for outside assistance? Its changed the new zealand Champs. And I do not know for the good or the bad. But thinking back to the recent classics or Baypark and Meeanee. We are moving in the direction of our British counterparts.

Sorry , force of habit made me type right rear. It's either of the outside tyres. 

I thought you lot were supposed to be the brains trust a la NZ speedway. The rationale is fine but the execution is crap. Cars from almost any class can hurl track surface detritus into the stands for any number of reasons , not just flat outside tyres. Therefore the rule should reflect this in so much as any vehicle that does this shall be removed from the track fortwith. Don't just limit it to flat tyres.

[Go Slideways]

I agree with Mike, I can't tell who's coming 2nd and 3rd most of the race when for example the Meeanee Maulers race the Palmerston North Pumas.

[hienekenno1]

Your photo is the Panthers v the Hawke eyes but is the same problem.

[davem]

One good thing about going to mylaps is that spectators can follow the live timing for each race on their phone, which will make it a bit easier as in some races i lose track of whose placed where.
