I just clicked on it & went to the photo. Is any one else had problems, I have checked the setting & it is open to the public.

That link just goes to the google+ photos homepage. So anyone who clicks it sees their own profile.

Not entirely sure how google+ works but if you click into your album then copy the link we should be able to see the photos.

Right I opened my albums copied the link, logged out of google, then pasted the link & it opened all my photos so hopefully this time https://plus.google.com/photos/117238910642550232767/albums?hl=en

For those that want them, at least we have a few shots.
I'm hoping with the famous G.W. at the helm we might hear clearly when the rounds are on ??
I missed the last two completely as well as the 'Dulcet tones' of Spyda on the CTAS. :rolleyes: :lol:

with modern media becoming so diluted and so accesible for everyone just where do you advertise that will get to everyone.
you can put something on facebook for example, and within minutes is moved out by someone posting about their maccas for lunch or whatever, so exactly where do you advertise, be it free or not.
there's a big screen advertising thingy in taupo, which had a one minute clip showing, posters in a lot of shops, i heard about it on the radio in hamilton.
there were just 112 paying people through the gates at taupo on saturday, lots more on sunday, one of the issues was there was no eftpos at the gate, a lot of people arrived, didn't have a tenner on em so left and didn't come back.
every track is different and with four clubs officials merging to run taupo the question that will there be eftpos at the gate may have slipped though.
how do you overcome that and other advertising, just what media do you look at that would catch your eye?
round three is advertised on the front page of this forum BTW
you don't have to miss the final two rounds either, they're now available on CTAS, $2.50 per race or $20 a day, up to 30 days to watch for as many times as you like, pay your twenty and watch a race a day if you like.....

I used to read papers but i guess that avenue has gone for me.
Radio stations always got the message out , (2ZM and the race team)
Televison is probably cost prohibited nowdays.
I really only check the racing section of KB unless a heading causes me to click.I don't see the front page.
112 people ?? Can we not see the signs ?
Sad to say its just not of interest to people nowdays ,for whatever reason.
As the oldies die off,lose interest or the show is average your problem can only get worse. Young people must be doing other shit ?
As I said, I caught the two Sth Is rounds on CTAS which was ok.
But if a die hard bike fan is not really bothered now,there has to a problem. (I say Sth Is rounds, I mean 3 or 4 races each round ,so I sorta made an effort.
Bike racing is slipping away, no matter how much we wish otherwise. Some just don't accept it though.
I spend a heap of dosh attending GPs in preference.

Newspapers, really who reads those off line, there's too much other shit available really

there are so many radio stations now which do you choose, not like the old days when there were about three, this and the fact that many are nationwide mean they are more focussed on nationwide adverts, there are local ads but of course they cost. with todays free advertising it's often hard to work out where to go


television, much the same

is the show average, while the feilds were lighter in some areas there was still plenty of action with some magical close finishes.


Taupo- there's no industry, people either work in town of motels, the petrol heads aren't really there are they????? as for the 112 people, it was busier on sunday but no idea on numbers.

[roogazza]

I admire the work you put in and I know I've thought many times I should be doing a bit myself.
But you can only do so much. A generation needs to be inspired somehow ?
(sort of a natural progression for us tho huh ?But it was relatively cheap to do.)Some of the problem today No ?

My age group friends don't follow any NZ racing and only a token effort of the GP stuff. Hard to imagine considering how big the sport was to us all. Many Champs in that lot,Internationals as well.
