2016/17 SEASON COMPLETED!
The season is done and dusted. Congratulations to the Class and Overall Handicap winners in both grades and thanks to all the riders who put their bodies to the test and challenged themselves and their vintage machines. Thanks especially to the organisers and those who helped at the rounds and to Silver Bullet Events for the wonderful scoring service they provided and Sarah Stevens for the great photos she has contributed.
Evo 4 - the 'Modern' Class
Trialing the Evo 4 class was an interesting process. We thought the class would be more popular than it was given that the bikes are only 20 or so years old and are more easily available. No matter, a good few did pitch up and we are sure there will be more next year.
Improved scoring
You will all agree that the decision to ask Silver Bullet Events to score all rounds worked really well. Not only did John and Jane Rushworth get out quick and accurate results, but it gave our already overstretched organising teams a real boost to know that this complex task was all sorted. We are certainly hoping they will be on board again next year.
Help is needed to organise events!
After three years Vinduro NZ is coming along very well. We do however need enthusiasts to help set out and help run events. Last year we asked riders to become involved in helping out at events but the reality is that this season only Peter Groves and Craig Brown have been volunteered.
Any rider who does help at an event and misses riding gets an average of their score at their other rounds to add to a series total, so there's an incentive to help make Vinduro viable. Riders who have gained points this way have an H against the round they helped run. Remember that Vinduros are complex and time intensive events to run and no one owes us anything, it's self help or nothing. We hope to see many more H s showing up in the results next year.
