When is the new chicane going in at Puke by pit lane entry, does anyone know? I just heard about it the other day.

What is the state of the pitlane for parking vehicles on Friday?

Heard that AMCC won't be holding any racing at Pukekohe till after Xmas. What they are doing with the two club rounds scheduled for Oct and Dec is anyones guess.

the pit lane is under construction
car and trailers will be parked behind pit lane on the tarseal,
plenty of bike parking in pit lane, just no cars (this friday anyway, might be different in the future)

Esses in front of the old pits gone mate

That's a long hot straight!! Is it run clockwise or anti-clockwise? Most tracks are clockwise aren't they?

[skelstar]

FROSTY was right, that entry into the double-apex sweeper looks friggin scary now. Although he was talking about taking the alternate route into that new straight.

Was going to ask the same thing.

Be interesting to see how it goes. Would be nice to get out there but my bike is having open heart surgery (piston rings etc).

By the looks of that they should give up on having 3 track layouts cos the old one is virtually gone now. And who would want to hire a track with only 4 turns in it?

Still reckon they should've just gotten rid of turns 9 & 10 by modifying turn 8 to sweep into the end of turn 10.

what you on about willis?

[Quasievil]

what you on about willis?


Well that sucks !!!!
That kills one of my greatest tactics, I used to be able to fly through there while often others went slower, I could gain speed to get around bikes on the exiting of the esses to gain entry into the sweeper first.
I liked those esses !!!

Glad it's temporary, it'll be mint when finished judging by the grey bit on that map. An awesome left sweeper, then a right one. Hopefully we'll be able to see where the corner goes this time!
