NZSBK Nationals - 2012 - Accommodation

[Deano]

Are there any motorcamps or accommodation that a lot of Nationals Racers use while down South ?

Sort of like the GP Circus ? LOL

I would like to stay in places where there are some friendly faces if possible.

Camp at the track buddy. Best fun you can have with your pants on. And sometimes off.

The missus isn't averse to staying the odd night at a motorcamp in a tent, but I think she wants a 'base' with a few comforts for her and the billy lids.

Plus one of my sponsors covers a bit of accommodation so we will be using that also.

Bugger that....save the sponsors $$$ for the beer! And for once I agree with trash....camping at the track is O for Owesome!:woohoo:

We usually stay at track when at Levels and Ruapuna but in Invercargil we stay at 295 on Tay (as do the hoogies) Also have stayed at Queenspark hotel (bit cheaper)
Sorry dont have any recommendations for Levels(Timaru) or Ruapuna.

Topten motorcamp in timaru most racers stay there and they are very supportive of the Motorcyclist. The other 2 get pretty spread out CHCH maybe hard to find accomodation

[SWERVE]

As this thread is about accomodation........ is there any facilities (ie showers) at HD.
Coming up for the tri-series and budget cant stretch any further for fancy accomodation.

North/South motorcamp no more than 10 minutes from the track even if you're driving slow

Are you allowed to camp at Ruapuna? I thought that option was no longer available due to rubbish being left at the track...

There aren't any connected to the toilet facilities. I'm not sure if there are any more.

I just called the track and all the apartments are booked for the tri series already.

You don't need to shower anyway - its a road trip !! LOL

I believe Pacific Motorcycle Club are running that round - they run the Bike Rider Mag Summer Series etc, very organised they are, good people.:drinkup:

I think thats a well thought out calender. It wont suit everyone but it looks good to me! Taupo will be interesting and I hate Manfield so thats great!

I'd rather the SI dates the opposite way around but it's good the NI rounds are only a week apart
