The classic club has a TT meeting scheduled for Labour Weekend (October 22nd & 23rd) which may have been the one discussed at the BSFOS, however this is also the weekend of the Rugby Cup Final so any accomodation will be next to impossible to find, and extremely expensive if you do manage to find any.
Having said that, we have a great summer series which incorporates three clubs: NZ Post Classic Racing Association, Auckland MCC and the NZ Classic Road Racing Register, that goes from October through to April in the upper half of the North Island

There was a lot of enthusiasim during the BSFOS, which started to wane when the clash of dates was realised, and a NZ Trans-Tasman match up was starting to be looked at for 2012.
The meeting at Hampton Downs 2011 is definatley a go, but the issue will be accomodation, plus hire vehicles will be at a premium.
Best thing is to stay in contact with the NZCMRR
http://www.nzcmrr.com/index
and do what we did, get on line and hunt around for some accomodation near the track, you never know what will be available if you book early enough.

Just a thought Steve, our classes stop at your New Era (1989), and if you bring over a Pre Modern, which I think your GSXR750 is, you won't have a class to race in.

Hmm I have already bought this up & was assured we would be running on our/Aussie rules like the Island classic, when the poms come over they still run there rules. As it is not a points meeting all this didnt matter.kiwi60 wrote:Just a thought Steve, our classes stop at your New Era (1989), and if you bring over a Pre Modern, which I think your GSXR750 is, you won't have a class to race in.
Anyway I was looking forward to comming over but by the sound of it, its looking a little up in the air. :sad

I caught up with the rider that I'm keen to see on the FZR last week (Lindsay Pinker) and had a chat and asked him to think about riding the bike next season, and after a few days thinking aout it, he's said yes
I'll give the bike it's customary going over through winter and we'll be out on track in August for a 'sighting day', then we'll talk about any changes to riding position etc, and then we're into it 2 weeks later
To be honest, knowing Lindsay's style and speed, I think we'll upset a few of the front runners, and just possibly put the GSXR1260's in the shade...he's one hell of a rider - at last the bikes going to have a rider of the caliber that it deserves

Sorry Steve, if your thinking of bringing that one over here, you won't be able to run in the Post Classics, as upside down forks must be std fitment and available via the shops prior to Dec 31 1989, and the GSXR750's didn't come out with them till 1990.I'll be taking my legal 1990 GSXR750 WITH upside down forks hahaha
The only two bikes that can run them here are ZXR400's and the Ducati Corse 851, both of which were available here in 1989.
The NZPCRA has been very strict in this matter as it's a loop hole that would be prised wide open if we made exceptions to NZ bikes.
Having said that, it wouldn't hurt to contact Jason Voice, who is the NZPCRA tech officer, to see if they would make an exception if you can show that USD forks were available in Australia in '89.
His email is:

Australia sometimes got new models before other countries due to the timing of the racing season, and I'm pretty certian we never got them here until 1990, otherwise we would have all the GSXR7/11's racing in the pre'89 with USD forks, and that model would be specifically mentioned in the rules.They were. I have seen a GSXR750L with an 89 compliance plate.
Still run it past Jason as this model is not a recognised USD fork model here in NZ and it would be a pain in the a$$ if you bought it over here only to be told that it cannot race.
