    Viewing advice for Paeroa?

    So, finally got no guests and are heading up for this year.
    Anyone recommend good viewing points that don't have "you're in my bloody spot" kind of stuff? We'll be sitting with a chilly bag and a relaxed attitude.

    Please excuse the spelling of the thread title.....

    Well now, that all depends on what floats your boat. I have been going to Paeroa for as long as the event has been happening minus a few years when I was baby bound. I have different places that are my fav. I love being at the end of the front straight just before the 100m braking marker, that gives you a real feel of how fast the speeds get to. OMG, the back straight just before the pit entry, now that will give you the shits if you are not prepared for the bikes to come whizzing past less than a metre away.

    Oh, just after the start finish line when the big bikes are lined up, that I promise you will get your blood running, it may even take your breath away At the Suzuki s's (they are not called that now though) apologies to the current sponsors. Another great place to sit is the hill above the hairpin. That is where KB members tend to congregate/meet up. I will be shhh now

    The pits are cool too

    Don't forget a chilly-bin of ice for your beer.

    I always thought if i was going to watch the racing theres two spots would be cool. One beeing in the pub right on the hairpin the other the pub on turn 2 --Hmm fixation with pubs
    personally the only place I wanna see the hacksaw from is on my racebike
    To see a life newly created.To watch it grow and prosper. Isn't that the greatest gift a human being can be given?

    Well you'd best watch out as they imposed a booze ban for the first time last year.

    The views are stunning all around the track, and I normally walk a couple of laps.

    Recommend the hair pin at the top of the front straight for motards and chairs.
