Lack of information on the site for those who haven't been there.

Can someone add some details:
Is there public viewing all around?
Is there plenty of parking and is ist easy to get in and out, or is it best to arrive on 2 wheels?
What is the cost for spectators?

Yup (need to sign in to walk around the track
Yup, don't bring a low rider (some steep gravel/dirt road is present)
Nowt

You're welcome,
FM

Well glad I didn't go down to Ruapuna as planned, had been feeling sick & the 125 didn't get going so would have been a wasted trip. + our weather was pretty good. The 50 as can see from the clip did the biz anyway.

Jay come back -I need 'the learn'.:sunny:

flows quite well really, you just have to get confident with tipping the bike in pretty fast to get good lap-times. Better clockwise in my opinion, but running both ways is variety.

damn its a wee track, l'd be worried about going over the edge all the time :gob:
great clip tho, good to see the whole circuit.

Oh yeah and by the way, it might pay to keep sept 30th free if its possible, if you want a humdinga of a challenge ;) For any of you norf islanders who wanna take on the southern lot... I'm sure Dangerous will pass on a few details as soon as he has some.

Track seems bigger when you are on it. I thought it would be too small but it is ok.

We have a wgtn meeting then but if it is Battle of the Buckets on Rua B track then I'm there this time.

Last time I raced there I was winning until the bike expired 5 min from the end. Time before I was 3rd. On my 50.

But I believe things have moved on & the competition is somewhat stronger than Tony Mc on his collection of thrown-together-the-night-before CBs.

Mores the pity, I enjoyed those trips & watching the CBs being put together over a few beers.:yes:
