Hampton Downs Nationals Round

**prettybillie** · 5th March 2010, 09:24

Hi All

As you know there is only a couple of weeks to the 5th and final round of the Nationals run at Hampton Downs.

The practice day on the 26th will start at 1pm and go through to 7pm. We have done this at the request of a number of riders as it means one less day of accomodation for some as it gives them time to travel.

It also means there is a lot of time to set up you possies for the weekend without having to rush and do it really early in the morning or whilst you are trying to set your bikes up.

You'll be able to get into the grounds at the usual times though.

Look forward to seeing you all there!!!!!

We were told the track was already booked for Friday by someone else which is why the funny practice hours

**JayRacer37** · 5th March 2010, 20:29

Yup. Not too many people impressed (both islands and ends of) with the practice day times at Manfield. If you want to ride from 1 to 7 show up at 1...

I'm glad I hadn't booked the plane tickets, we weren't going to fly into Orcland until 1pm, we were originally told practice was 3-8pm

ROFL.... well, i have scoured MNZ's website, and AMCC's website and all i found was an entry form at MNZ and the date the racing is on on AMCC's site.. but absolutely nothing about the program or spectator stuff..... at least AMCC's new website looks flash.... pity it lacks important info!

The entry form says $12 for extra entry tickets so I presume that will be the going rate for spectators.
