That is from the point of view of someone in the drivers seat. Sitting in the stands seeing the front wheel drive cars cornering without breaking traction is mind numbingly boring. The great thing about watching the non-contact classes is the battle for traction after hanging the back out around corners. The way the front wheel drives corner they might as well be on tarmac.

I think SNZ Production Champs would be a great idea, The federation nz champs in ashburton qwere a great success,
I think those that are saying it will turn into a money game i think it is too late for that, and front wheel drives are starting to overtake the class, over time i think that front wheel drive and rear wheel drives will be split.
I'm all for the NZ Champs

i would be all for it but with wider tryes to a max size 235 .... for rear wheel drive and 205 for front wheel drives have moved up a class but i would be back into productions at a drop of a hat but they to be harder on contacts as rebuilt car 2times in a season  |

guys interesting to see the yes votes not out doing the no votes,
suggest you look at it from a promotional point of veiw,
what track would put hand up to run it and get prize money from sponser for event, you would have to be living in a different world if you would think a national title is going to pull a great crowd to make it viable for a promotion to run it,
i would suggest would need to try and run other events first if you were that serious to prove to snz and spanz that there was enough genuine intrest to run such a thing and give class national status

more important than a NZ champs title ,is properly standardised rules everywhere.

There are definatley a large number of drivers in this class, Although noone from north island made the trip down to ashburton, the numbers were still 60+, For its 1st year this has to be a good sign as these classes only get bigger, like any other class it produces close hard racing and its never without controversy which spectators enjoy most

i think it needs to be done to keep the interest within the class.
its quite a big step from a proddy to a saloon.
so with nothing to really aim for where do go?
ya get hitting!!! ;D
proddy saloon GP/NZs would be good...

I voted yes. As a class we qualify bar having the 6 tracks support which I'm sure could be obtained easily enough with so many tracks running them. Theres more cars in this class than other classes that are allocated titles. I can see everyone's point of view at how its not a "glamour" class but if the class itself it oppressed and unable to gain any notable titles then how can it possibly grow? What's the attraction to race year in year out and only have a regional champs to compete in when you have the 6th most popular class in the country right now. Giving title status can only be good for this class. It will encourage people to go out and have presentable cars and be competitive thus getting more of a "glamour" status

Hi prody drivers, i agree with Gribbs money talks, look at the other classes. It would take it away from the Intent of the class 'BUDGET'. I am not against a national class, but now isnt the time. May be in the future. There are a lot of late model budget cars out there, so keep the standard up and see what happens in the years to come. I race for fun and to be competitive, winning is a bonus.

I see Ashburton are holding a NZ championship for productions. How would this go down if SNZ allowed a NZ champs for productions. (I'm only assuming its SNZ that would allow it for SNZ tracks).

i say no but agree with a big meeting something like what grant loveridge sorry if spelt wrong did a couple of years back when wanganui held nz stockcar champs and on finals night the production saloon s were the support class we had about 7 races 3 of them were of 20 cars racing for prize money

i voted yes but i think if they were to become a national class the nz/gp/island champs should take place at the tracks where massive fields in the premier classes are one in a few, tracks like greymouth,westport,kihikihi,wanagnui,gisborne,dunedin,cromwell,blenheim,invercargill.
a production saloon snz championship with 40+ cars would be great for these kind of tracks.

Yeah I agree with Bowee, put a few big meetings on, get them in the program as a support class like they did at Wanganui a couple of years ago ( I had a blast at that one, one of my fondest racing memories). but no, don't make it a national class or its all gonna come down to $20000 v tec builds and little more based on the current rules.
I race for the fun of it and the social side of the sport.
For my money Wanganui have done well in those aspects thanks to the efforts and support of the committee and a few past and current drivers.
keep it up

i think we should but we shouldnt. from what i understand my car would be so much different than a car from up north the rules are not the same they are different for every track i raced in places where my car would have to make changes to things but then at my home track its all sweet as. a meeting in central new zealand would be awesome just a meeting where fast north island cars can get new and competition from the fast cars down here in the south island. there are a lot of good people in productions, a weekend all together would be amazing for the sport and everyone associated with it.
