Does anyone have any information on what we motorcycle riders/racers will do in the future for trackdays at HD?
Cheers.

I know of a couple of possibilities. Unfortunately, it's early days yet and they've both got lots to work through before they can tell everyone about it all.

Mean time, it looks like the Honda days are the only ones for bikes coming up by the looks.

Mmm, what's happening to HD? Is Darren closing up shop?

Yes, is the short answer. All his operations there apparently.

Well that sucks, he ran a good show there. Hopefully ART will setup shop, although I have heard its not coast effective.

Looks like I might have to start saving for the long trip to MotoTT

A very short answer.... Not Darrens decision by any means from what I gather....

It is a real shame, but it may be NZ isn't ready for it, or we are just too fickle... And too many dry weather only riders in a country where the weather is unpredictable.

Best case is:
- The Aussie VB drinking V8 crowd unwittingly pay for the extension to the track.
- Track fee will drop with all year demand and services, most of which the Aussies paid for.
- ACC will pay the promoter a good fee for a 1/2 hour sermon per track day.
- Rachel will have children and Darren will become the boss with special offers for the underprivledged (young) and all the salesmen from Auckland will still have to pay more.
