Spare sockets may be available for any one that looks good in super tight leather Billie does not so sure about you Kiwi
We will see how many we are using and if we have spare room of course there will be spare ports

$50+ cheaper in fuel tooWith the hills and awesome corners it will be worth the extra hundred bucks over Taupo.

Got to say that saw the track today looks awesome not sure if it was a fine stone coverage or the start of tarseal but man this looks like on cool track. So many changes does anyone know where the grandstands are going to be.

What you are failing to realise is that Pukekohe and Taupo, and even Manfield are 'cheap' trackdays. People in the UK and Australia are usually paying ATLEAST double what we do for similar and sometimes, worse tracks for the day - not to mention the crappy weather they get in the UK.
The hireage fees that I've seen for Hampton downs seem very reasonable - a full weekday on the 2.8km track (which isn't too bad) is $3700... with 50 people that's less than $80 before taking a profit - for an extra $20 per person you have $1000 to pay for ambulance attendance and a bit of incentive for marshalls - assuming they aren't provided.
Even the full international track on a weekend, shared between 80 people is less than $100 per person... seems pretty reasonable to me.
Are you working on the assumption that Hampton Downs Ride Days have exclusive rights to motorcycle trackdays there... I've been informed that this is not the case, and if it is, then I'm sure a not-for-profit 'Trackday Club' will do the trick.
Don't forget that Hampton Downs at least looks to be much more interesting and challenging to ride - Taupo has one 'blind corner'... imagine heading into turn one at Hampton downs - a blind, downhill corner, hard on the brakes from 260kmh... that's gonna take some balls. I look forward to seeing how the bikes like the 'crests' in the track, maybe we'll get some wheelie action like at Cadwell Park!

ON THIS SUBJECT--
I just resently started a club aptly named Frosty's kb trackday club.
Kiwibiker the website is the ONLY advertising media I will use for members of the club or to advertise the event.
Kiwibikers ONLY association is that it is kindly allowing me to advertise
This club is a continuation of the stuff Ive been doing in the past at Taupo track.
Your yearly membership fee to this club is one chokky fish.
Once a member you have the right to atend any track days the club organises.
I must say Mr R6 kid has his numbers a bit off given that as in past trackdays we still need flag marshalls ambulance and RT's
I'd suggest a donation of $100 per member would be more accurate.
Of course sahould the club run an event at a slight profit this profit will be used to offset the costs of the next event or will be accumulated so that after 5 events the next will be FREE to club members.
The specifics will be worked out
To see a life newly created.To watch it grow and prosper. Isn't that the greatest gift a human being can be given?

It is the case, but doesn't stop people like Frosty from organising what he's proposing (on the assumption there are any dates available to book the track).

Where did you get that info from Devil?

Have to say I've had the same info from the two owners when I did circuit tour last month, there words " the track is available for hire from anybody wishing to hire it" All the cost per day info is on their web site.

From the people who have the rights...
