He's talking about Hampton not Manfield.
The classic bikes are there this weekend and the forcast is FINE FINE FINE

[Mental Trousers]

There were machines working on the extension area a week ago. But I don't know if they were preparing for the full track or doing something else.

Willie works for the California Superbike School and he said he has seen a signed document saying that world supers will be there in 2012

Crayon probably doesn't count though.

Really, they found Ten Million ? thats what they need, and last I heard they dont have it or a sponsor.
I would be very surprised if that happened.........especially on this track in the current form.
Hate to be negative but cant see it bro

Supercross maybe but it'd take a miracle for the Superbikes to be there in 2012.

Why the hell would WSBK want to come to NZ anyhow? Come to think of it, what real benefit would it be to have them here?

The benefit would be all for us in that we wouldn't have to trek across the ditch to Austruckenfalia

yeah word has it that they will run a combined world superbikes and A1GP meeting and an Elvis comeback

I believe that the letter is a letter of intent, not a letter of committment.
Big money and big spectator numbers would be required. Two things we are unlikely to find in NZ for bike racing, unfortunately.

A1GP is dead and buried, also unfortunately. So that scenario is unlikely also.

With that attitude, yeah, why would they come!? Look at the numbers that turn out to Pearoa every year. I don't doubt WSBK would pull a big NZ crown if/when it comes over, but with all the negativity and defeatist attitute on here everytime its mentioned, you'd wonder why they'd bother coming over to entertain us ungreatful Kiwis.
Rant over.
