    yep i gotta say that i thoughly enjoyed my first visit and it was a pretty well run meeting all around. I have to commend AMCC for having their act pretty well together most the time, things seems to run pretty damn smoothly, which is rare. espcially considering it was really there first meeting at the track

I wasted his time for about half an hour chatting about the start/finish line position, the oppertunity to run the circuit anticlockwise, and a whole heap of other stuff as well (like extending the liquor licence for prizegivings...lol i could not get another beer....). All i can say is WELL DONE GUYS WHAT A BRILLENT EFFORT. I cant wait for the pit garages with the corperate boxes on them for next year. Oh and the low of cost to hire a apartment and stay at the circuit was fantastic for those that took the oppertunity. I will definitly be booking one for next year. All in all a brillent meeting with very few hickups.
    When I saw ya you certainly didn't need another beer!.....
    Thanks again for help over the weekend.

    I headed down to Hampton Downs on the Sunday with my son. Thinking I would join a small straggle of loyal bike racing supporters and have the place to our selves (like in previous Puke years), I was pleasantly surprised to see quite a good crowd of people there. We wandered the pits and were confronted by a number of friendly racers willing to sign their personal posters for my son and have a quick chat to me about their; crashes, close calls, progress in the championship... Great stuff and thanks to those for that. My son now has a wall crowded with NZ bike racers on it. HD is still definitely a work in progress and a track that is not without faults (can you imagine coming up and onto the front straight in a wet race??!!!). Having been around HD on a bike on a track day I know the track is awesome to go around on and I look forward to going around there some more in the future and returning to the 2011 Championships as a spectator (or competitor??!!). And as Shaun said, thank god Puke is gone!
    "...New Zealanders, for all their faults, have virtues that are precious: an unwillingness to be intimidated by the new, the formidable, or class systems; trust in situations where there would otherwise be none; compassion for the underdog; a sense of responsibility for people in difficulty; not undertaking to do something without seeing it through - "
