Teretonga track days?

[Yanosh]

Who organises them? Is there an events diary somewhere?

Sorry to be so lazy, but I'm new on here and want to get to a track day before the summer is over!

[McJim]

I've been in touch with Teretonga through work and am expecting an events diary at some point soon so will find out when the next "Open testing" sessions are.

I understand the Chatto Creek Motorcycle Club is has organised one for the 29th march. PM JANTAR and ask him.

Hi,

Is there any way I can join in on this? I've been super keen to get to ride teratonga and like you I've found it had to find info or club dates/events.
Is there someone I can contact in the chatto MCC.
I did manage to ride on 'Levels' in Timaru on a 'have a go' day in Feb, F*#kin good fun! safer than fanging up the GY road!
Cheers,
Woody.:banana:

[Yanosh]

Get yourself down to Terratonga tomorrow morning - day kicks off at 10am... Just turn up and ride as long as your bike's track safe!

Come and say hello

Me, red/white R1
Mates, red/white R6 & cbr600f4i

[Yanosh]

Awesome days riding, despite all the radio problems in the morning.... :angry2:

So when's the next one?! :devil2:

[Winston001]

Just a heads up. Chatto Creek MC are organising a Skills Course for Saturday 4th October at Teretonga. $50. Jantar may know more. The contact number for the Club is 03 448-6207.

[Yanosh]

Skills course??

I'm all for learning more about track technique, but I'm not keen on a day of basic training? So what's the deal??

If it's track time with some helpfull pointers then I'm there!

[FROSTY]

I heard you can get a key to the track for $200 a year --trackdays all year round

[Winston001]

I've no idea what's planned except I thought "skills course" might be a euphemism for "have a go" :D

Last time I went to Teretonga 'Have a go" meant get cut up on the inside by some posturing idiots with too much testosterone on their hands.

I'll stick to the good ol' Pukekohe & Taupo track days from now on...just have to get there and borrow a bike that's all......

[Winston001]

Ah weell ma fine gillie a've niver bin ona track so its tempting to try. I don't mind being at the back on the corners, that's where I need to practise, and have every confidence on close to 11 sec quarter miles on the straight-away :2thumbsup

Ruapunas a heck of alot closer & theres a trackday this coming Sunday 31st.
Plus if your worried about being dealt to by blokes with overly large nads,then try the C class where you can only pass on the outside on the straights:blink:

Ruapuna is in the far north...y'know...Canterbury....even further north than Otago (I hear they talk funny up that way and don't roll their Rs :rofl:)

Teretonga is only 10 minutes away from me. 5 if the cops are somewhere else.

It wasn't a racing class or anything like that just a "have a go" day. The organisers did say no overtaking on the inside but obviously some guys just had to get their tackle out and wave it around eh?:mad:

Not quite as far north as Pukie or Taupo though.....& possibly a better track than both of them.
Id love to have a blat at Teretonga:drool: Watchin the races there during the Burt Munroe wknd it looked awesome & that sweeper.....:shit:

No probably about it

Turn 1 at Teretonga is the most awesome corner on any of our tracks

It used to be possible to hire Teretonga during the week, can you still do that?

[Winston001]

Ok, sussed out the story. Understandably they don't let any hoon out on the track so it's possible to hire it but there is a process.

The simple way is to go to an organised track day as per the Chatto Creek one.

The other option is that if you have a competition license, you can get the key at $70 per half day. I've just talked to a guy in the car club who takes his kids out to go go-carting and it costs him sod-all - think he has a key anyway. But for non-club members, gotta join a bike club and/or get the comp license.
