I think focusing on the recent years multiple deaths at pukekohe while making good statistics for getting rid of the track they are most likely unrelated to track design. However if you focus on the very bad injuries that have resulted from crashes in recent years then pukekohe is the only track making the statistics there.

Take for instance Avalon Biddles broken femur in March. The only reason that happened was due to the armco being so close. Any other track in NZ and the injuries most likely would have been confined to bumps and bruises. Then you have the multiple guys that have been paralysed, i think the number is 3 or 4 in the last 4 or 5 years. I don't know of anyone else being that badly injured (yes there have been maybe 2 fatalities in recent times at other tracks, again they fall into the "same outcome at any track" category) at another track in NZ in recent times. These again are straight down to poor track design.

I for one am incredible happy that I will never have to race there again. It is a very exhilirating track but as I get a little older I just can't bring myself to ride 10/10ths around there.

Brilliant post K14 and I could not agree with you more!
