Hamilton won the rights to host the v8s street race for the next 8 years, how fucken cool is that !! Auckland couldnt (to many lefty;s), Wellington Couldnt (even more leftys) But Hammy is all go, bloody Fantastic. Cant wait to see where the course will be, there is some great options around the city, my pick would be around Cobham Drive super fast smooth corners, should be great.:msn-wink:

Good on the 'tron.

Hopefully they do a great job of it and show the dip-shits in Auckland who were afraid that they may be 10 minutes late for their weekend pilates class, or that the V8's may cause their post workout latte to vibrate dangerously what the hell they missed out on. The Auckland course would've gone right past my apartment too >_<

Great news! Being from Welly, its sad we couldnt get our act together to host. The beauty of NZ is that nothings to far away; so no problem - should be a few trips to Hamilton on the cards....
Yipeee!

Isn't It still with a resource consent depending for Hamilton? Which is why Auckland and Wellington lost out (weren't approved).

But I guess Hamilton is a more of a "lets make it happen" type. Which is all GOOD!

On the the news they just said "won the rights" so Im picking that means paper has finished being shuffled.
Our Mayor is a young dude probably 35 years old so he will be into it big time

This off nzoom "President of the Waikato Chamber of Commerce, Steven Saunders, was quoted in the New Zealand Herald as saying there was an understanding that resource consent for the event would be granted, despite the need to still complete a public consultation process."

Very surprised to hear this, good news though. Still got a long way to go if resource consent hasn't been granted yet. Wouldn't be holding my breath.

Would have thought that after all the hype of welly and auckers that no other cities would be stuffed with trying to put on a street race. Will have to wait and see. Wonder where this leaves hampton downs?

good on Hamilton, i think the hamilton track would be much better then the one here, also its more central to get to (so long as you live in the north island).

At least it's not Huntly

Whadda you mean! Harris St as the front straight - air time over the rail tracks...out to Pukemiro and onto SH22....back to Huntly on Heatherington Rd.It'd make Bathurst look like a dirt oval.

I'll have a stall selling braized kittens.....

Mental note to self... stay away from Motu... :nya:

All I can say is it's brilliant that NZ will earn a little respect by actually gaining consent to have a street race. Can just imagine Aussie talkback radio hosts if we didn't. And it will show more of our country on TV by being somewhere other than a closed race circuit or in Auckland. I think it's a darn good result, and even though I'm not a big fan of V8 tank racing, I'm still a motor racing fan through and through.

I might have to make the long trek up to see it one year, stopping off at various points of interest on the way up, make a week of it! :2thumbsup

Bloody EXCELLENT!!!!!
These Auckland council tossers that are our "representatives" need to be sent to Bali with a kilo of coke hidden on the fuckers.:mad:

At least H'town has some sense and intelligence left!!! Good on them!:first:

Oh no Swoop, you can't go saying bad things like that about them. You might upset all the cry baby do-gooder lefties here. However, I believe a public stoning would be more appropriate. Only the people that wish to participate would throw stones - diplomacy in action.

Don't be too hard on those Council cunts. They worked really hard to get us the Lantern Festival.

I don't know why geenie lefties are always blamed for this stuff.I think the people who stop this sort of stuff,and Western Springs are the total opposite....they are money people,and have a vestive interest in keeping their money,and making much more.Motor racing upsets the cash flow,unless they can make money out of it,they will stop it.I'd consider them right wing.

I wouldn't call people living in Western Springs rich.

They want to be rich.And I think Western Springs has moved out of the cheap housing/flats status it used to have....I certainly can't afford a house in the surrounding area.

Oh that's right, I forgot this is NZ. Yeah those rich bastards. They never contribute anything at all and hold back progress. They never invest in anything, don't employ people, never pay tax (well the smart ones anyway) and make NZ'ers lives miserable by driving nice cars. Yeah who needs em? They should either leave this country (that's already happening) or we should make it illegal to be succesfull. Everybody should earn the same amount of money and all be riding GN250's.

Left wing Government + Left wing Council = Latern Festival - V8 Race = BORING.

If they put their money making interests before people having a good time at the races...they can certainly leave as far as I'm concerned.

Personally I think its our duty as good responsible citizens of Hamilton, to turn up to the public consultation meetings and politely and calmy disuade anyone from protesting against this wonderful event.

Or we could just turn up and beat 7 shades of shit out of the protestors.

This on xtra:

Hamilton City Council is starting to contact Frankton residents who may be affected by a proposed V8 Supercar race circuit, but an Auckland group is disputing the city's claim to have the event sewn up.

Mayor Michael Redman says the council has secured a seven year deal to run the race from 2008, subject to resource consent.

He expects to discuss the issues widely with residents who object. Auckland City and Wellington missed out in hosting the series because of resource consent issues.

However, a group which wants to use the Whenuapai air base in west Auckland for the event claims they are still holding negotiations with organisers Avesco, and are further down the track in ironing out the details than Hamilton.

Spokesman Pete Sinton says his group has Government consent to use the airport and does not need resource consent.

I think it ROCKS.

Teach Auckland (us) to be too tree huggy ("no no no = don't touch the trees on Queen St... impeding traffic is what they do best")

Bloody decisions by committee piss me off. Auckland didn't have the balls to say yes - and now lets work out a way to push it through the RMA consent process.

Just do it. Sign up, piss a few people off and reap the rewards. It doesn't matter what you do, you're always going to piss a few people off - so why bother asking them what they think about it?

If you were elcted to power you have the backing of the majority. I thought that's the way it worked... or did I miss something?

A race around an airport...

"down the backstraight (runway #1) ... onto the taxiway... onto the OTHER backstraight (runway #2), onto the other taxiway... and backonto the first runway."

Racing in ractangles... yay...

No you got it right. Unfortunately the majority of Aucklander's are tree hugging, left wingers hence we got stuck with Dick Hubbard another tree hugging, left winger. Oh joy, what a fun place.

Don't loose any sleep over it. I didn't say it was a shit hole even thought this Council is doing it's best to turn it into a third world city. I was refering to our anti fun Council. I hope that clears it up for you, now nighty night.

Don't knock Hunty, it's a great place to take a piss on the way to Hamilton.

The base has loads of roads, streets etc and with all squadrons and buildings closing, its a shit load of land waiting for a purpose.
Dont think they meant just zipping up and down the runway.

Good for Hamilton....and rest of NZ I say.......I don't think Auckland is set up.....guess they thought they would have a Monte Carlo type race around the mariner......it would have caused 3 plus days of mayhem in Auckland due to the bridge and Hamilton will not have the same congestion problems......good onya Hamilton
