How can you say that? You have Ruapuna, and it's closer to the city than Pukekohe is to the D'Auckland CBD.
Or Hampton Downs.
Or Taupo.
... and that's what I think.
Or summat.
Or maybe not...
Dunno really....

And I love Ruapuna [and Levels in Timaru] but the Californian superbike school will never be here, and by the look of it the surface will not be in the same league. How-ever, you are right, I moan too much. Ruapuna is only 20 min away from my place and is a good course[and I was at the HAGD on saturday!]

Have any of you been close enough to check out the lack of run-offs? Some parts of this track make Castrol look like a kindy.
Only 'Now' exists in reality.

Thye're not that lucky, look how long they've had to wait to get a decent track while we've had them for ages

There's only one area I can think of that looks dodgy, and it would require a collosal fuckup to get in there (hairpin). I'm not concerned. The runoff at puke and hampton just dont compare.

All over the upper NI track day riders and racers are getting excited.
What I like about Hampton Downs
- they built it with a Northerly aspect so it gets all day sun.
- they built it on a Northern slope so we're sheltered from Southerlies.
- it looks like an exiting well designed layout with good support spaces.
- it'll have proper toilets.
- it has CSS.
Unlike other tracks where we lose days to rain we may also experience being "fogged" out.
I can imagine race day starting with racing being delayed for a few hours for the fog to lift.
When it lifts a little, enough to race, you'll see the bikes and cars whizz by the front straight before disappearing into the fog down the back of the course.
Should be surreal losing sight of the race and seeing the riders re-appear out of the fog.
I can't wait.
I wonder;
- who'll be the first to drop a bike.
- who'll be the first to gouge the track.
Personally I think they should allow slower riders on first so we can hold the track record for a lap or two.

Who'd of thought a lil' strip of seal could look so fuggin' good.
How are they going with selling, occupying the apartments? They look great perched up on the hill there and I can just imagine sitting out the front there on a sunny day, bar fridge next to ya, as Stroud, Jones and Shirriffs head out for the last race of the Nationals with 2 points separating all 3 of 'em....

Shirtlifts within 2 points of the lead at the last race? What colour's the grass on your plannet mate, he rides a Honduh now......

The apartments were sold out long ago, but some do come up for sale occasionally (now that the track is just about complete i'm sure there's money to be made by the private owners!).
Two lifestyle blocks left apparently.
