So I want to tour the south island and I want to try a few of the lovely tracks down there. Now surely wobbling around getting lapped in the Nationals isn't my only option?

Ruapuna, Levels, Tereatonga :- which clubs run trackdays on them? Hoping there's a window in summer where I can run them all within a week?

Anyone else up for this?

www.motorcyclingcanterbury.org.nz usually runs a couple at Ruapuna & Levels...in conjunction with Sportzone Suzuki.
Ruapuna is open to anyone for a small fee on Tuesdays & Friday.

Maybe I should post this on the racing forum? Wonder what clubs hire out Teretonga. Notice the Burt Monroe rally has sprint racing at Tereatonga but I'd like to ride my bike down there so trackday is preferred.

Could be summit like :-
Levels track day 24th nov.
Tereatonga track day 26th Nov
Burt Monroe 27 - 29 Nov
Ruapuna track day 1st Dec

Now if we could squeeze in Manfield and Taupo on the way home :-)

They run a have a go class at teretonga during the racing at the burt monro... but i think you have to book cause the places go quick....otherwise contact the southland motorcycle club (smcc) check out their website for contacts and trackdays.

Hey mate,

I'm planning a little trackdays trips but it only takes in Manfeild and Teretonga.

Sunday 22 November HRC Trackday Manfeild
Wednesday 25 November HRC Trackday Teretonga ( Road bike only)
Thursday 26 November HRC Trackday Teretonga
Saturday 28 November Suzuki Trackday Manfeild

It's a bit tight getting back to Manfeild for the Saturday, so I might miss that one if Iive had enough by then. I've already done Ruapuna this year But would love to do Levels some day. Also handy in that you take just 1 week off work.

I'll be doing this on my own travelling wise as I'll bring both bikes so I can learn Teretonga on the Wednesday learners day (No track bikes allowed that day). Will have people I know at all these days, but a bit more company's always good!!
