A few spots remain for what will be an awesome day on the circuit.

As usual we have a full syllabus to get through both on and off track.

See you track side

That crept up quickly. Just faxed off my application yesterday.

The old mind feels a bit foggy for track riding at the moment after a Christmas break. Hopefully it'll sharpen up before Sunday. :)

:woohoo: Can't wait!!!! :woohoo:

[GPXchick]

This couldn't come soon enough. Ventured down the North Island this xmas break and can honestly say, that having been to the track twice i felt no need to speed (excessivly) As i knew the track was coming up. A nice release, wind speed and no tickets. :Police::bleh: See you all there :wings:

[BigAl]

Great track day today, weather was perfect.

Many thanks to organisers and all involved.:niceone:

[p.dath]

Thanks for a great day! Probably my best session ever.

And for the first time I got an injury - when a whiteboard blew off its stand in a gust of wind smacking me in the face. I've got a cut over the bridge of my nose, a cut eyelid, and the start of a black eye. :lol:

Should have worn sunscreen... I'm sporting a half red face from sitting on a corner all day... so youse lot got nothing to complain about, re the weather.

Only one good bin, first session of the day. Insisted he was fine at the time <_<

Congrats to all those (and there was a decent number) who explored the green stuff around the esses, but kept it together, kept it upright, and were also considerate and careful pulling back onto the track :niceone:

ahh you were there, I was the red sv650 number 61 in group 2. found false neutral in castrol a couple of times and came close to the dirt briefly. but was a fantastic day! have now progressed into group 3 for next session so pretty happy with that!

I got clints footage on his 750, locking up the back,:shit: smoke and all going onto the grass, :eek::eek::eek::shit:no tipping recovery through to the track totally considerate, then doing one of his best laps of the day to follow :D. I need software that can edit MP4 go pro videos as they are all around 22 - 25 minutes long. I have footage from Session 1,3,4 and 5 (GROUP 1 ) i forgot to turn the camera on for session 2 :brick: Tried some new mounts, AWESOME. Twas a great day, with great people 3rd time and TOTALLY HOOKED. To get a track bike just went to the top of the list.:msn-wink:

Thank you AMCC. Thank you GREG the 2 Mikes and Glenn, Thank you to the gentleman who helped me me with my bike. Felt alot smoother at times this session, taping up the speedo was definitely a big positive for me. Watching the videos back, man at times i was flying. WOOHOOO can't wait until the next one. April is so FAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR away. Hampton downs maybe!

[Timmeh:P]

Thanks to everyone in group one and the instructors Greg, Glen and the Mikes. Learnt a lot, and can't wait for the next one. :eek:

I also have footage of group one. Will post it up when I have the chance. :Punk:

What session did Clint lock up Holly?

[GPXchick]

Sorry guys for the 1st minute there is a small ad in the middle however it dissapears 1 min in. Clint has learnt so much from this one incident. Last session of the day. Lost concentration for a split second. So close. :shit::shit::shit:

Great day and can't wait for April. Huge thanks to the Group 1 instructors,

On the down side...... Has anyone picked up a bag by mistake? I'm missing a Kathmandu backpack which contained a water bladder thingy, a Honda cap and a couple of other bits I think. Was in the Group 1 pit area near the Ezi-up and got lifted at the end of the day while I was putting the road gear back on my bike nearby. I'm really hoping it was an error, not deliberate thieving. If you've got it or know where it is, please PM me. I've emailed Colleen too.

Cheers

THis sux, i had my bag there all day cameras, ipod, phones wallets. I really hope this was a mistake too. Had met most of these people before and their all good people, Hope you get your bag back :)

my most enjoyabe time at the track yet. the biggest difference to me personally was having my bike on a trailer to and from the track. not worrying about riding home for hours afterwards and being too tired after all of the track sessions. i HIGHLY recommend anyone thinking about riding at the track regularly to get a trailer. being able to get out of the leathers between sessions and kick back on a comfy chair made a huge difference to me. i was able to prep the bike the night before, and obviously didnt have to make it 'road safe' for the way home. resulting in me being more relaxed on the bike and having lots of fun and progressing. well done again amcc for a great day.

[c4.]

There were plenty of photographers out there, but I can't find any photos on the web yet.
Anyone got any sites that they know of who might be uploading as we speak?
I know the amcc site will have some soon.

As people have already mentioned it was a fantastic day at the circuit on Sunday. We were blessed with awesome weather and full enthusiastic groups.

It was good to see some familiar faces and welcome new participants to our day. All the action will have been caught on camera by the ever present and quick to shoot photographers so check the links on our web site, they will be downloaded soon.

Don’t forget to complete your feedback forms and get them back to us or let us know in what ever way suits you, the important thing is finding out if what we do is working and how we can improve things.

The shame now is its long wait until April 22nd  but spaces have already been booked and we plan to make it a special day with it being the last of the season.

I’ll give more details a little neare the time.

Also this is the first real ‘Heads Up’ for those that like there racing.

AMCC are hosting the 4th round of the National Superbike Championship at Hampton Downs on 17th & 18th March.
It is going to be so much more than a bike race with entertainment etc so watch the forum as well as other media about details to follow but put the date in your diaries!

Cheers
