.... and why would i do that??

still makes me laugh that the ST fanclub make out their sandpit is perfect, but the NZV8 sandpit is empty, and if anyone was to disturb or argue perfection on the previous sand, they are to be shot down or torn to bits.

funny thing is though, why is the fanclub arguing with themselves if the other sand pit is empty?? ego-tripping or multiple personalities

If MPL has gone what does this mean to NZV8's?? Pretty stuffed I'd say... Is it finally over?... and will Tulloch have no choice but to come and play in the ST sandpit... LOL

i heard(but could be wrong) that the circuits will run the events this summer with a small(like 1x person) from MNZ to help co-ordinate with sponsors and other bits and pieces....plan to have outside promo company on board for 2013/4 season.....

That would make sense as it would take us back to the good old days of when the promoting car club ran it's own event much like the way we ran during the days of the Tasman Series where we had the International class, a couple of championship type classes and the remainder of the events were those selected by the event organisers. I don't think that any two circuits ran the same program during those days.

Clubs ran with their own officials and set their own schedules etc.

Even in the days of Global Sports & Promotions and the early days of TMC they did not organise all the fields that were competing in those series and the clubs still ran the meetings

It worked well before everyone wanted to become "professional"

It can only be a good move SM and i will discuss with you over a beer at the SI endurance event if you are their.......i dont think we will see the likes of TMC/MPL again(thank god) and i guess over time some credibility will return to MNZ as if there is no gravy train we will probably end up with some genuine people involved again......

However in saying that, given nistfan's previous comments and attitudes, the reply is not that surprising is it!

This is where my comments about MSNZ, NZV8S and MRX not being the same thing come in. MRX is not responsible or accountable to the same degree as the others. IMO.

In my view, if someone is bagging the builder of the car,which nistfan has done quite blatantly, rudely and falsely in the past, he deserves what he got really.
Do we all remember nistfan claiming he saw the first car on display at speedshow and went on about how shoddy the welding etc was and he thought it was a laughable POS. That's a pretty direct attack on MRX. Hey enough to be sued over in the USA! lol
In light of that, I think MRX's reply is not as harsh as it first appears. I think if someone else asked the question, the reply would have been different. MRX's reply was to nistfan, not to the whole forum really.

That's my take on it anyway. Quite welcome to hear from MRX etc if I am wrong

Mr Revhead, seems you may have been confused, this does seem usual for you.
Just checking my older Posts and can not find anything about my comments about Welding etc and I didn't go to the Speedshow, so just maybe your are getting a little carried away with yourself

BlueBlood · 8 Sep 2012, 07:27 (Ref:3132814)

And I sure Rev will happily admit he got it wrong.
It was said by NZST ( from memory),
calling on his many years of chassis construction and welding knowledge.
I too find all the ST fanboys so similar that I mix them up sometimes.

Yes Lucky we don't live in the US , I could of counter sued him, but we live in NZ, a much better option

Is that an official invite Maxie?

Ah that could be right. Very similar names.
I still stand by my comments about his attitude though.

Now don't quote me on this Maxi,

as this information source has been a little astray in the past. But it does have some legitimacy about it, because when taking everything into account, it could be quite true.

I am told that Lada have now been banned from competing in the up and coming NZV8 series. What I have been told is that a standard straight off the factory floor Lada 1600cc, without any racing mod's, or so they say, was lapping Ruapuna 2 seconds a lap quicker than Tullocks new NZV8.

I will have to talk to Joe and find out more about the Mig16 steering system, as I am sure I saw something similar in the Lada at Ruapuna.

Joe told me once that he gave Nikita Khrushchev a piece of his mind a few years back, so I am sure he would have more info on the subject than me.

Maxi, the reason for me being a little concerned about this information being correct, is that I didn't think Lade were interested in racing a works team here. To me the lap time information is the only believable part to this information and which could be remotely true. I think it also answers a lot of unanswered questions, on how fast the new NZV8's will be and what lap times we can expect.

How's the fishing going, loose all your hooks did you.

Well maybe, but you can't catch a fish if it keeps it's mouth shut!

promax · 8 Sep 2012, 22:29 (Ref:3132995)

you can if you use a net or a spear

By then the Camry will be long gone from our shop and in the hands of the Richards team.
