This is a general public open track day
held at Taupo Raceway
Cost per bike is $85
Fairly casual affair kinda like the Pukie open days
You'll probably get a heck of a lot more track time
Track opens at 10 am but all day till 4 pm
sessions are (I think 20 minutes long)
Thanks for strating this post -(frosty)

So whats happening at the track on Saturday the 12th of November? or Sunday November 13th.
The Taupo car club site has no events listed for November at all.

Thats what I was getting at. Am I going to turn up the day before and get on the track or will the local harrier club be having their egg and spoon race that day?
Maybe Friday the 11th is a test day. How did Frosty find out that this Friday is a test day and how many others are they having this month. Last month their were 4 test days in one week.

what's a quick time around Taupo? (Say that 1:05 is 'quick' around Puke...not my time, I've never been timed, and doubt I'd be very quick).

42 - for an F3 bike, so at my pace I would have been lapped in 6 laps
