well at least it gives you all something to moan and whinge about for the next few months......is has actually never been any different...in the heyday of NZV8's only one or two pro's ever put releases and updates out and as for support classes most of those competitors are way short of 'nowse' when it comes to promoting and updating what they do.........but thanks to the poster it gives another thread to criticise NZV8's-msp and mnz ...and i am sure V8ST wont escape either...............oh joy

I believe less than a handful of cars are "really" being built for the upcoming series and some who placed "firm orders" with refundable deposits have had them refunded already. As Roger has highlighted several times, how can they have a Gold Star Championship with a handful of cars? |

V8 Challenge Cup are NZV8s with different tyres
Central Muscle Cars.. run the Manfeild round. they don't do the full tier 1 series. so the Utes have swapped series. odd move for them with the st calendar being so spread out? hopefully they get a better tv deal than what the other st supports do. |

Utes to ST interesting will help the show be much better for the ST supporters and will allow the meetings to fill in some of the space, Central Muscle cars are they running at more rounds? I was at the speedshow and someone said to me that they are looking at 15 - 20 challenge cup cars for Taupo which would be awesome. I guess the question is who is next to move across I think a class like GT1 would be great but over the last summer series there were to many runners that only ran at 1 or 2 meetings which lost some of the shine on the class.
Does anyone know much about the superstars class, I see you have posted one of the cars Promax, they seem to have a pretty good championship loads of good drivers lots of different cars. How do they achieve parity? |

I'm not including classics like the '67 Camaro SS, any late '60's Mustang or the '56 Corvette in my statement of ugliness, but it pretty much covers everything else.
Modern day Camaro is fine but is just a Monaro in a frock which is trying to look like a '67 SS.... Cadillac have never ever made anything other than extremely horrible looking cars, no matter how hard they try... |
