Have you seen the state of Hapton Downs? They're 8 months behind I heard.
I doubt it'll be ready by then. Buggar!!

So for the sidecars... only 2 South Island rounds again, and 2 North island rounds, plus the streets! :2thumbsup

Thank God my birthday will not be celebrated at a national race event again! But then again, it means no hugs and kisses from Bones and Scrivy! :weep:

Chris ain't doing any down south now - rather save money for another Isle of Man assault. Also, we've pulled our application for a National round at Taupo.

The track preload has worked a treat and the results are as the Geotechnical Engineers predicted. Settlement has now flattened out after six months and the preload can be removed in the next few months. Ross Reid Ltd are preparing for a huge ‘Spring Offensive’ of earthworks as soon as the ground is dry enough to be worked.
