Hey guys,

As has been posted here recently, I too have been frustrated by not knowing what race or trackday is on and when. So I have put together a wee website that has a calendar of all the track days and race meetings that I know about - http://www.trackspot.co.nz :2thumbsup

Its nothing spectacular at the moment but it does have a pretty good calendar (thanks google). I'm going to be making it better in the coming weeks and adding features like an option for anyone to add an event to make it easier to manage.

This is my first proper website so let me know if you like the layout or if you have any suggestions etc.

If you have an event or know of one, send me an email to trackspotnz@gmail.com and I'll add it to the calendar - the more details the better.

Also, it only has road stuff at the moment but if people end up using it then I can expand it to all two wheeled events.

It might be getting blocked by security settings or a toolbar then.

Thanks, you can select which type of event you want to see by using the check boxes on the top right so this could be applied to off road events for instance but I know what you mean.

I am totally out of the loop when it comes to off road stuff so maybe they are already catered for.

Hey Guys, I'm thinking of pulling the site as no one is using it and it's costing me money.

I have'nt been advertising it much but from what people were saying on here, there was a real need for it. The 7 hits this month are all from me checking motogp dates and I can use a spreadsheet for that ffs :laugh:

Thanks to those who contributed events for it.

I just saw this post and it was the first I heard of the site. Looks to be useful, I will spread the word too and hopefully it will get the hits you want.
Good idea and good effort mate! :rockon:

Open test day. No marshals, 1 ambulance, 20 minute sessions alternating between cars & bikes. Pretty chaotic from my experience (guys on road bikes going slow out at the same time at guys testing their race bikes for the nationals!).
$90 on the day and away you go.

Having the Sunday on the left side on the month calendar still feels very weird
