Night one after a young gun being rolled though landing on his wheels no red light to check his roll cage first??? At the drivers meeting on night two the senior ref (SNZ apponted, not a local) admitted they made a mistake and that the race should have been stopped to check the cage. Like the drivers the ref's also have to make the big calls in a split second and sometimes the wrong one is made. That's a simple textbook call to make though, and a real blooper to miss. No excuses really, and the ref should be sacked to Reserve Grade next weekend......... |

race really turned by Mike Mac though no steering broken front wheels reversing and back across track taking out the blenheim runners great stuff I hear Meeanee were disqualified for Mike Mac's driving. It was all happening right in front of me, and for the life of me I cant work out what he did wrong? All looked pretty legit to me, never went in the wrong direction, and didnt attack from the grass. Was pretty much perfect actions to win a race driving a wrecked vehicle! |

Yes wasnt far from me either and I didnt see anything wrong with what he did.
And Wildcat if I predicted the Young Guns to win again how exciting is that?

Hey Marty, maybe if & when you race for Wgtn you can then become an official of the track & then disqualify the young guns from winning another title. As for attacking from the grass i guess you would know all about that cos thats where you do most of your racing. Personally I think there were alot of missed calls during all races but hey thats racing & you live with the calls that are made by officials. Well done to the Wellington Club for holding such a great race meet & a great dress rehearsal for the NZ Champs later next month. Congrats to the "Young Guns" who maybe now will have to look at a name change.

A lot of missed calls as you say... yes on the Young guns, were not missed in the other races were they? ie plate semi final Rotorua v Auckland decision reversed 3rd and 4th Hawkes Bay v Blenheim decision reversed Plate Final Bay Park v Auckland decision reversed
I am not taking away anything away from the Young Guns win just pointing out a few facts. And Chunkey where do you do your racing boy? As for the grass give it a rest thats old and tired at least nearly all of the times Ive been on the grass its mechanical failures ,there are many of cars on the grass that drive of after each race.

All looked pretty legit to me, never went in the wrong direction, and didnt attack from the grass. Was pretty much perfect actions to win a race driving a wrecked vehicle! I thought it had something to do with him hitting the blenheim car as it was reversing out of the blockage??? it was to do with him pulling out from the wall and hitting a car apparntly you cant wait by the wall facing out and hit in the direction of the race and also they said that me and Pete Barry attacked from the grass (NOT).That race costed us $400 in fines and disqualification from race.The snz refs were very up and down with there discussions all nite the Titians race against welly was one when 154e got hit of the grass from a welly car into the wall and even the manager agreed to what had happen they didn't get disqualified only a little fine. I think the refs need to also talk to the drivers as we were told what we did wrong by our manager and weren't aloud to see the refs to put our views across was a very big let down to our nite.Well lets bring on next year and hope its more fearer from the refs as if its good for one then its good for all not harder on some and not on others. |
