Nz Solo Championship 2014

[Puma23]

Does anyone have results of last NZ Solo Championship ? I used many contacts and nobody have it. I know positions 1-6 but I am interesting in rest too.

 

Anyone can help me ?

 

Please guys !

The best I could find was this

which gives the Semi Final results as:

 

Ist Semi: Bunyan, Mason, MacRae, Finch

2nd Semi: Tregonning, Aldridge, Tocher, Hayes

But in para 2 it lists the top 8 riders, and then goes on to list ten (!!) riders - the 8 in the Semis plus Brady Mudgway, Ryan Terry-Daley. I'm guessing they just missed out on the semis - but who knows reporting from NZ seems very sketchy.

Hi arnieg,

 

What are rules ? Why Mudgway, Wilson-Dean, Godfrey and Terry-Daley did not ride in semifinals ? I do not have idea. MacRae and Hayes had less points than Mudgway, Wilson-Dean, Godfrey and Terry-Daley :/ Maybe there were extra heat.

 

Look at:

It also begs the question of how many riders per race. 12 points from 3 rounds for Bunyan suggests a (4,4,4) score. So was it a 20 rider field with each round consisting of 4 heats of 5 riders. If so were there 5 riders in semi finals? That would at least make sense of the list of 10 riders qualifying for the semis. But we are still left with the mismatch in their identities

I think that there were qualyfing heats, 1 repecharge, 2 semi finals and the final. The same system was in North Island Championship '14.

Final standing with 4 gaps:

 

1. Jason Bunyan (England) - 12+4+4

2. Grant Tregoning (Southland) - 12+4+3

3. Sean Mason (Auckland) - 11+4+2

4. Andrew Aldridge (Canterbury) - 11+3+1

5. Kody Tocher (Canterbury) - 9+2

6. Jack MacRae (Southland) - 5+2

7. Dale Finch (Canterbury) - 9+1

8. Paul Hayes (Southland) - 4+1

? Bradley Wilson Dean - 8+?

? Brady Mudgway (Auckland) - 8+?

? Jeremy Godfrey - 6+?

? Ryan Terry Daley (Auckland) - 6+?

13. Ryan Moss - 3

13. Jason McKay - 3

13. Brannon Coppard - 3

16. Jake Gillespie - 2

16. Connor Spriggs - 2

16. Michael Hardman - 2

I do not have idea

Bradley Wilson-Dean confirmed that there was repecharge heat. He had to win but he had engine failure.

? Jeremy Godfrey - 6

? Ryan Terry Daley (Auckland) - 6+0 (to make sense of para 2 of the Macgors report)

13. Ryan Moss - 3

Hey we've made considerable progress - just the repercharge to work out (I think)

 

Bradley Wilson-Dean confirmed that there was repecharge heat. He had to win but he had engine failure

 

So repercharge must be:

 

Qual: Hayes, MacRae, Terry-Daley .....Non-Qual: Godfrey, Wilson-Dean (ef).

(Brady Mudgway must have gone straight into semis over BDW on countback)[/size]

OK chaps, check this out...

It's a collection of photos from the event. Using these pictures, helped by the fact that they are in chronological order, I've come up with what I believe to be the format.

 

Heats 1-12 were the qualifiers. Not all pictures show all riders but here's what I've deduced - these are line-ups, not results, with picture numbers in brackets:

 

Ht 01: Sean Mason, Bradley Wilson-Dean, Jeremy Godfrey, Connor Spriggs (1-3)

Ht 02: Grant Tregoning, Jack MacRae, Ryan Moss, Jason McKay (4-9)

Ht 03: Andrew Aldridge, Dale Finch, Brannon Coppard, Brady Mudgway (10-20)

Ht 04: Jason Bunyan, Kody Tocher, Jake Gillespie, Ryan Terry-Daley, Paul Hayes (11-30)

Ht 05: Sean Mason, Kody Tocher, Jake Gillespie, Ryan Moss (31-34)

Ht 06: Dale Finch, Jeremy Godfrey, Jack MacRae, Brannon Coppard (35-45)

Ht 07: Grant Tregoning, Ryan Terry-Daley, Paul Hayes, Brady Mudgway, Michael Hardman (46-57)

Ht 08: Jason Bunyan, Andrew Aldridge, Jason McKay, Connor Spriggs (58-68)

Ht 09: Jason Bunyan, Jeremy Godfrey, Jack MacRae, Michael Hardman (59-74)

Ht 10: Andrew Aldridge, Dale Finch, Jake Gillespie, Ryan Terry-Daley, Ryan Moss (75-84)

Ht 11: Kody Tocher, Bradley Wilson-Dean, Paul Hayes, Brady Mudgway (85-93)

Ht 12: Grant Tregoning, Sean Mason, Brannon Coppard (94-109)

 

At this point 4 riders are missing a ride: Wilson-Dean, McKay, Spriggs and Hardman. Heats 3 & 4 and 6 - 11 have start pictures and number of riders is confirmed but one rider is impossible to identify in ht 11 so it could be either McKay or Spriggs.

 

The top 6 went straight to the semi-finals. There were two 3 rider heats for the bottom 6 (13-18) scorers:

 

Ht 01 appears to have finished Coppard, Moss, Spriggs. (110-115)

Ht 02 appears to have finished Gillespie, McKay, Hardman. (111-120)

 

The 2 heat winners joined riders 7-12 in 2 four rider repechages.

 

Ht 01 seemed highly dramatic, Brady Mudgway crashing out while dicing for the lead. Terry-Daley and Hayes then swapped places for two laps until it appears Terry-Daley dumped Hayes and was excluded. No rerun though, and Hayes remounts and seems to finish the race and I assume was awarded first place. The other rider was Brannon Coppard. (121-148)

 

Ht 02 and Wilson-Dean led away but disappeared from view with presumably the engine failure mentioned previously. McCrae led home Godfrey and Gillespie. (149-161)

 

Semi-final line-ups are as reported, both 4 rider heats. Pics from 162-171 and 172-181.

 

Three other riders were listed in the original 20 but didn't appear in any of the snaps at all - 10c Sean Cox, 55i John Tuffey and Robin Cook who had no number listed. I think 2 of the 3 account for the heats with 4 or less riders but no way of proving that 100%.

My word - even more complicated than I'd imagined.

 

and having tried to reconstruct meetings from Rosebank videos on Youtube I can appreciate what a mighty effort that must have been.

 

Much appreciated
