Who is entering in what class?
Where are they going to race?
Is it time to create a series for competitors based around the condensed and highly successful Toyota calender?
Would the F5000s' be prepared to run in such a series?
Is there a way to achieve parity within the current Formula Ford variants to enable this class to be 're-born' as an entry level class where a talented kart-racer can be competitive without a 150k budget?
How many of you would pay to attend a race meeting that included;
Toyotas,
F5000s,
Formula Fords (Toyota/Honda?),
GT86,
Honda Cup, Suzuki or similar.
Perhaps another premier class could be included if they play nice?
How about a regional 'All-comers' selection to enable the much needed by easily dismissed local content...? Yeah Right...
These classes may be of interest to some people?
Has anyone ever thought of gaining NZ wide T.V exposure by offering exclusive coverage of race meetings to Maori T.V at 'no charge'...
Wouldn't that put the cat amongst the pigeons'

I commend you for the post but its all too similar to what we have. I agree with CDM, not only are budgets not there any more, also adding to that issue is the time needed to follow this potential series over the summer period plus the holiday period loadings we all have to pay. With the exception of TRS which isnt made for NZ anymore, its made for foreigners and NZ teams to run them, most people want to spend time with the family, especially after this summer and that goes for attendees as well.
Im sure this may appeal to a number of us but we have to be looked after as well, something that hasnt been done very well in the past. The MSNZ run series can only offer free entries for so long before the blood starts running out the doors again.
Are you saying at the foot of your post that Maori TV would pay to cover the event as no one pays for their coverage to air, its the cost to produce that coverage is where the pain is.
