Just a few things related to the previous few posts. Firstly, the remits presented to the forthcoming MSNZ Council meeting have not been submitted in order to create some sort of gratuitous aggravation. They are a genuine attempt by people who care for motor sport in NZ to correct issues that they believe are hindering the growth and enjoyment of particularly the historic and classic fraternity. There are some elements within the sport who, for their own reasons, wish to maintain the status quo and in addition, from what I have experienced, I unfortunately do not think there is a genuine commitment at the top of MSNZ to significantly change anything. I fear that the remits will be "controlled" at the Council meeting and it will be a "fight" to get progress. I know that by taking a stance on this matter there will be those who will turn it into personal attacks but I suppose it just goes with the territory.
Secondly, with the CODs, TACCOC no longer has a mandatory COD stance and hasn't had such a position for over a season. In my opinion, CODs are conceptually great but in practice they have resulted in inconsistency. There are cars that do not have CODs but should and there are cars with CODs that shouldn't have them. TACCOC has taken the position that CODs are preferred but not essential, however we vet entries and assess how each car complies with the applicable regulations - Schedule K, T&C etc. We understand that this does restrict some cars from entering our events but this is something we are prepared to accept as a result of sticking to our principles. New opportunities arise though - TACCOC are going to cater for Dale's Historic Muscle Cars as they are a group that appear to be run against positive period compliant rules.
