Hampton Downs Trackday Dates?

[sharky]

With the track completion not too far away now, does anyone know if any trackday companies have book any dates in yet?

[del-solider]

email the guys at http://www.hamptondownsridedays.co.nz/ they the ones who will be running days there.

I know they have had dates in Bike rider mag but cant find it right now.

Yep emailed them today. They have quite a few days scheduled. $199.

$200 is going to be harder to sell the Finance Manager on. Still probably cheaper than the extra petrol to go all the way to Taupo for a track day.

With the hills and awesome corners it will be worth the extra hundred bucks over Taupo.

It would appear not. See the racing forum - there is a thread on it.

Couple of hills and a few corners for $200!!! Plus the cost of getting there and the petrol for the day....not to mention there won't be power there for the first lots of track time, so you've gotta bring generators as well....

Hampton Downs is off my list - my bank balance will only allow Puke or Taupo!

we have a generator that would supply about 5 sets of tyre warmers pretty if you come down

Costs me a lot more than the $80 difference in price to get down to Taupo. Even if I ride it's about $40 in gas, a day of leave (unless I ride down at night), and the accomodation costs.

If I trailer the bike down with someone else it's at least $60 for gas each.

So while $200/day is scary expensive I think it's actually going to save me money.

lol yeah if you have to travel up it'll be a killer. Still, it looks like it's going to be truely epic.

Works out cheaper for me too. Fucked if i'll use that goat track at Pukekohe.

These other tracks just dont compare. $200 is good price for a quality track. You can already see that in the preparation.

No power? WAAAAAHHHH, you cant have been around when they upgraded Taupo! Same deal. Been there, done that!
