[dereka]

Went past today and no sign of any track being built or grand stands going in.

Anyone have confimation that it is a go

Cheers

[dammad1]

I was wondering the same thing.

[oldguy]

there is a digger sitting in the middle of the of the paddock, and if you look you can see the pegs marking the track layout near the grass embankment which will be part of the spectator area, which is were I will be.
Don't think it would take them long to form up the track, well I hope not anyway, they still have to put up some Grandstands as well, how many are they hoping to get
Woohoo roll on Saturday and then, Paeroa Sunday what a weekend.

[Buddy L]

just been told that seating is first in first serve, so going to get their early to get the best seats.

I was thinking one of those time lapse videos of the track build would have been awesome to watch.
Can't wait, if its a success maybe they will look to stage it in the Vector Arena next time.

[GR81]

or the new viaduct stadium they are building.... oh wait, they're not :no:

me: hey goonrider, hows about an autograph?
goonrider: yea sure!
me: who do i make it out, just to dear Goonrider?


bwhaha the 12th man :) :niceone:

[arj127]

Its a bit gut wrenching that the track is only being built for one nights racing. Pity it couldn't stay there and there be a monthly/bi-monthly meeting held there.
I so miss Taupiri!
Still, i'll be there, booked my tickets November '07 :niceone:

[scott411]

yeah it is a biot of a shame,

track is all but finished, all jumps tested,
3 news is doing a peice for friday night

[Danger]

Darn it, will be out riding. Always the way. Perhaps it will be on Nightline too.

[clmintie]

Had a look on the way to Ardmore tonight... Looks cool :2thumbsup:2thumbsup:2thumbsup

Only three more sleeps........ :laugh::laugh::laugh:

[GR81]

hope the weather holds out!

[Pierce]

hope the weather holds out!

Just what i've had on my mind since it started raining last weeknd:baby:

[dammad1]

It looks alot smaller than I thought it was going to be.

[Pierce]

It looks alot smaller than I thought it was going to be.

Yeha my girlfriend drove past today and said it looks tiny:(:girlfight:

[arj127]

i've seen it, i don't think its any smaller than the old Taupiri track. Supecross is always tight racing, it's desinged to go in stadiums afterall. Will be awesome racing

[telliman]

yeah, putting the cream of nz riders all together on a tight sx track is gonna make for an action packed day/night!

[scott411]

i've seen it, i don't think its any smaller than the old Taupiri track. Supecross is always tight racing, it's desinged to go in stadiums afterall. Will be awesome racing
its a bit wider than taupiri, and an extra lane,
should be a bit easier to pass on as well

[oldguy]

This be a good track to have in your backyard.

firstly, that vid is amazing riding. holy shit!
if i had that in my back yard i would be in hospital after the first day, broken and busted by the end of the first week.

i also don't know anyone that could ride it like that.

[oldguy]

Does anyone know if you can take your camera in or not.

[GR81]

Does anyone know if you can take your camera in or not.

it doesnt say you cant anywhere i dont think.
im taking my small camera anyways ;)

edit: it mentions on the tickets "no video, still or cellphone cameras allowed in the theatre"
so not sure what the rules are with the outdoor setup.

[Buddy L]

rain, rain go away come again another day.
Hopefully its all just sun showers.
Will be at the gates at 3 pm about 8 of us will be their

[dammad1]

Was awesome, some good racing and some good stacks, a few things that could be tweaked to make it better, but in all very good and I hope it continues.

[GR81]

yup. not bad for a first attempt. heaps of carnage too! haha

some pics attached.

[jimmy 2006]

***** Hucky was the standout, can't wait to see him ride in a few more years (that is if he is still around in a few more years with whips like that!)

[DrewBroadley]

it's Haki :)

[jimmy 2006]

:doh: whatever his name is, his riding made my day.

[telliman]

tye simmons was the stand out for me, super smooth!

[dammad1]

tye simmons was the stand out for me, super smooth!

Yeah for sure and it was awesome to see him on the two stroke doing so well.

[Pierce]

Yeah for sure and it was awesome to see him on the two stroke doing so well.

God yeah what a mint rider, and DAMN his whips in the whip comp were mack daddy too:jerry: Good on him for competing on the two stroke too man, can't get enough of that sound:niceone:

Haki... what a trooper! He's gotta be one of our best young riders huh:baby: I didn't think an 85 could even come close to jumping those tripples haha:devil2:

[dammad1]
