      Agree.  You can't blame NZTR for that.

      It is a valid question.  For nearly four years the timing has been hand held!  Not to mention the photo finish issues.  If there isn't enough money in the kitty to fix those fundamental issues then maybe a cake stall would help!

      My posts are not meant to be critical of the Levin Racing Club.  Their provision of Jump Outs are excellent for the CD.  However I do tire of hearing inaccuracies about their wealth and profitability.  Trentham is decried for sell land whereas Levin is applauded (or overlooked).  My long held opinion is that the CD Clubs needed to get round the table and thrash out plan to make racing profitable and sustainable.   Many people will deride my next comment but... RACE wasn't a bad idea - it was a good idea but unfortunately it needed every Club to co-operate and didn't need some of the management stuff up's it had.  Now we have a situation where everyone is entrenched in the fiefdom's and fighting every shadow.  You now have a situation where multiple Clubs are selling off land to pay their way.  The end result will be the capital will be pissed against the wall or fund operational expenses and some sizeable chunks of land could have been used or traded to create a profitable centre for racing.  The way things are heading there won't be any racing left! We can get all nostalgic about the past but the Club model doesn't assist the running of a profitable business when the volunteers disappear and the donations stop. CD racing has some of the best assets in the country - but there is a reall possibility that they will lose them all.

      I didn't know that it did. I only pop over here now and again to see if anything is worth getting involved with. As you can see this thread has attracted plenty so Iv'e thrown my five pence worth in. But as always the Chief can't help himself such as his stupid comment/question asking me if I am running a raffle to fix the electronic timing at Trentham. I rest my case.
