bastards... Paeroa, Manfield and then Puke 2 weeks later... not exactly easy going on the South Islanders :bye:

Thats just the joys of a country split in two,

Do you think it is easy for North Islanders to have to spend three weeks down South, or have three seperate trips down there.

[Joni]

No I dont think its easier for you... all I am noting is that there is a weeks break between the 2 N/I events, it would have been easier if they were 2 weekends in a row.

Plus the S/I rounds are in one straight line over 3 consecutive weekends, Ruapuna, Levels, Teretonga, where as the N/I are up to Paeroa, down to Manfield, up to Puke... strange thinking on MNZ's part.

Unless you like to throw your bike down the track every meet!

[Mental Trousers]

I guess I've missed something somewhere along the line, but how come there isn't a round of the Nats at Taupo?

[scrivy]

No club wants to put their hand up to do it.
It is also expensive to run for 3 days of track hire.

Fuck me dead. That website looks like it came straight out of the early 90's... i wonder what program they are using that is making all their images look poo!

[gav]

Do they charge $20-25 for a weekend pass or is it that amount each day?
Is it like the cars, Sunday would be the same price as a weekend pass?

[Joni]

Gav mate Im waiting for Kick to get home from the track to confirm, but I think its the weekend that costs that... Im not 100% though!

[White trash]

Real bikes only race on Sunday.

[gav]

OK, tonights paper indicates $15 for a weekend pass, bargain!
