Road race dates and classes have been announced along with the news that bike races will not be combined with car and truck meets - as happened last season.
Also announced is: Both the production and non-production classes will have two rounds in December - both in the South Island.
The first round at Ruapuna (4/5 December) has a double incentive as the GP Titles will be run as well.
There will be a mid-summer break to accommodate the street series. In February and March there are two more rounds for all classes- both in the North Island. The Pukekohe meeting will also feature the TT titles, later than usual due to track work.
The non-production classes will have the points compiled and the place getters named after the four rounds.
The production bikes will have their final at the John Britten Memorial Meeting (Ruapuna) which doubles as the fifth and final round on the weekend of 19/20 March.
