ummm, they could run in the opposite direcion like they used to, then you can hve a couple of hundred metres of run off

the justification for the current and less safe direction is noise reduction, with exhasts facing out to sea when going down the straight, shame about the other half of the circut

rant rant blah blah, nelsons full of wingers, turns out I'm one to

on more important issues, get well Nick, your a top bloke

How often do the races run ? Most Councils now have a "Temporary Events and Filming" Rule in their District Plans.

This rule generally gives greater leniancy in terms of noise limits.

What might normally be a 50dBA limit can be up to 80dBA, for up to 6 events per year, and within time frames. e.g. 8.00am to 11.00pm.

Fuck the residents !:shutup:

2nd fastest,Hawkesbury was the fastest,Wouldnt wanna see todays machinery there with or without air fencing,120 degree turn 1 with a traffic island in the middle,Horrifically fast and off camber turn 2 and turn 3 with a bridge on the outside,Not too mention the esses with railway lines in the middle.

Its changed a bit Billy , biggest hassle is a bloody roundabout betwen turn 2 and 3 lol , just make it a chicane aye. My career started there and i loved it.
Your really old , where was Hawkesbury ? was it a dirt track lol.

I think Nick is still the youngest rider to win a NZGP race after winning a 125GP at Teretonga a couple of years back as a 14 year old.
