Hi All

Since the development series has been mentioned - could someone please give me a rough (or not so rough if you like) estimate of the costs involved in running for a season? If you don't want to put in the forum please PM me

Chappelli · 28 Mar 2006, 08:20 (Ref:1563106)

Actually, it'd be quite interesting to hear a few guess-timates on what the thoughts on running a competitive but not O.T.T:

NZV8
GT3
Toyota Racing Series Car
Formula Ford
Formula First

It'd be interesting to see exactly what sort of bang for the buck each class offers (On the assumption that your leasing or reselling everything you buy so you don't have the capital outlay included in running a season).

we need the utes here like a hole in the head

we have already discussed on here that we have too many classes and you are suggesting that we bring another one in

I believe that we need to have three levels for single seaters (already got that) and a similar progression level for tintops leading up to NZV8 with perhaps something similar for modified cars leading up to a class like Tranzams or Super GT's

Just added a note in your post

Agree Tracie.
With the introduction of the new mini class soon, we certainly don't need any more classes.
Anyway, utes are slow and cowboyish (not sure whether that's a word or not) and would only attract an element of society we don't need turning up to race meetings.

Good God 911 I do believe you are going soft !!!!

promax · 28 Mar 2006, 08:49 (Ref:1563129)

no worries 911

so are we going to start a HSV Clubsport series along with the utes? i hope no one in australia starts a XR6 series... otherwise while want to start one too lol personally i'd like to see a space left open at tier 1 meets for a smaller class like pro 7's, ss2000, central muscle cars, etc (along with a space for the tier 2 cars) it doesn't have to be the same class at every meeting.. but it will be great if these classes get to run with the big boys. plus tv time would help them secure sponsorship money. well hopefully it would help them.

the bridgestone porsche series can have the auckland meets.. we down here will take the muscles cars

Single seaters in NZ is outdated and a waste of time, untill FF adopts the ZETEC engine, TraNZams crash and burnt along time ago, Super GT's/SS2000 could work well. Yet only enoungh money to go around, bang for buck is utes, just look at the Manfield turn out, no one would of showed otherwise...( Manfield knew that, good deal done on their part )

Perhaps we could start a soft top class and Keener interested

Tracie · 28 Mar 2006, 09:30 (Ref:1563150)

I just do not see where utes would fit into a big picture - from a competition point of view - they really would not lead to anywhere

agree that FF need to adtop Zetec engine

agree that SS2000and Sports Saloons should run together but need a common name - the same with Super Six and Commodore Cup - these should also combine

but take Super GT, Muscle Cars, Tranzams could all run together - the quicker ones have similar lap times and perhaps in this NZ Modified Saloon class there could be a tier system built on lap times - Taupo had a very interesting system for their clubmans A and B - there was a lap time requirement - they would promote clubmans A at some meetings and clubmans B at others

an important issue is the various levels that they run at - notice for Taupo Easter meeting there are heaps of classes and with the new length of their track I hope they have lights

Glad we agree on some points

Unfortunately is it only me or has the Taupo redevelopment been a waste of time, increased lenght but where is the width? Still tight as virgin mary that place.

Then again all the girls I have been with say lenght over width, go figure

Dam, I knew something was wrong when she said rubbing was racing and she wanted more contact

Tracie · 28 Mar 2006, 10:46 (Ref:1563196)

The new taupo track is wider in most places but I think the problem is that there are too many corners and passing opportunities are not that great

was a bit surprised at the lap times - a lot longer than I thought it would have been

it will be interesting to see how the classes go at Easter

r8hsv · 29 Mar 2006, 07:00 (Ref:1564011)

heres a interesting sale on trade me .................

wonder if getting out completely?????????

911 · 29 Mar 2006, 07:26 (Ref:1564022)

Now that IS news r8hsv.
I guess MP can only advertise the car as having the lap record at Pukekohe for the next 3 weeks.
After that it'll be gone.
160k though........

Interesting to note that that car has only won a race (excluding stupid reverse grid races) with other people driving it.

Can't disagree with that Promax.
Perhaps that's why I/we enjoy the NZV8's so much.
Do we really have to wait 3 weeks until we hear the sound of them again.

Tracie · 29 Mar 2006, 09:50 (Ref:1564035)

Taupo round of NZV8 on TV Sunday so it will be good to see the starts of Races 2 and 3 to see whos fault it really was!

promax · 29 Mar 2006, 19:58 (Ref:1564438)

i don't have to wait 3 weeks.. the MG Charity Classic is on in 3 days time

http://www.mgcarclub.org.nz/charity.html

either that or i'll head north to taupo for the bikini comp.. err i mean.. import drag racing lol

Mr Keener · 30 Mar 2006, 00:04 (Ref:1564644)

Trade me is on fire.Madge's old jacket is a bit cheaper than $160k so think I might go that way.Interestingly another franchise for sale which potentialy means another new comer and if the viscious TKR rumour is correct possibly more newcomers with their slots.Pity there isn't enough engineering nouse to go around although without knowing Pedersens plan's you could do worse than have him engineer a car particularly with a decent budget.
