Cool man, popped my shoulder out on Sunday but if i'm ok by wed i'll be there for sure. Track has been mint the past month or so. Built up the ramps on the jumps too so they're heaps better.

Sorry one more question, is it still $20 to get in?

I rang the race line and i think he said that the track is in mint condition, the only thing i couldnt make out was that the track is opening at 4pm?

Is that right?

COrrect. Its $20 for non members or $15 for members. Track practice runs 4pm till 8pm until daylight savings is over then he reverts to 2pm till 6pm

Might have to check it out next week as that'll be the final daylight savings session.

When you guys say the track is mint, what do you consider mint? I was there a few weeks ago and it was very hard packed with loose stuff on top.

he looks after it pretty good, sits there watering the track from 10am most wes mornings till it opens around 4.30-5 depending when he finishes... prob the most best maintained mx track in auckland

I wouldn't go that far...

The best track in AKL definitely has to go to Harrisville.. both for layout and conditioning.

Yeah and how often is Harrisville open? 2hrs on saturday and once a month for racing. This is every wed and every second sunday. Also Harrisville is a harder pack track which I would imagine take less maintainence. Love harrsiville but just don't get to ride it enough. Ardmore is nice and close too which is mint.

last time i went to ardmore the track was harder than harrisville, and since harrisville is longer, and up and down more hills it is harder to maintain, your right about the hours as it is a pain in the ass we can not use it more,

John does a good job with ardmore, tonight i think it will be slippery to start, but if the rain holds off it will get pretty good

Yep Scott you've got a fair point there. I certainly love the size of Harrisville and the jumps are mint.

Tonight the track was pretty damn good. Took me most of the evening to get my bike running properly but got there in the end.
