What would get you to watch local or national Superbike racing?

[cowpoos]

What would get you to the track?

I have been internalizing a very complecated situation in my head....and I think Boobies...lots of boobies would be the answer!!

[dean boy]

PA has been mentioned but I guess that depends where you are on the track as I had no problems with it.

Oh yeah ... and what Gatch said ... bloody numbers are hard to read!

Good day though which I, and more importantly, Mrs Oakie enjoyed.[/QUOTE]

Great, can you ask Mrs Oakie how we can improve it for our wifes and partners, yes some numbers are hard to read........

I might be making this up (I hope not) but I seem to recall seeing television adverts and a billboard in Riccarton.

As for the food. The Pure Espresso van had some fantastic toasties going on.

That's great, yes we had advertising billboard, and TV advert, yes they had great coffee to and i survived on souvlakis all weekend

[dean boy]

in case the organisers etc wanted some feedback . . .
I wasnt able to go to the event due to travel/money constraints, however I noticed a significant amount of advertising, including a TV AD. A lot of people from work etc who know I ride asked me if I was going to go. These are people who are not interested in bikes at all, but merely asked because they had seen the advertising and thought I might be interested in hearing about it.
So the advertising side was great, keep it up and I will definitely get to a few rounds

Yes we do want feedback, and thanks

I'm a fanboy so I'll go anyway. But these are a few things that bother me.

It's hard to see the numbers on bikes with tiny little tails, it's also hard to see the numbers when every cunt has a different colour number board. Make them big, make them the same and put them where they can actually be seen Attachment 254867

It seems to be a theme, shit PA systems. The crowd wants to know what race is coming up next, they want to know why it is taking 500 years for the track to be cleared, they want to know when the wet tshirt contest is about to start. PA system - GET ONE.

Also has been mentioned, better food. Those hotdogs are actually battered tumors.. Some other entertainment, like has been mentioned, stunters, maybe a few laps of flagship demo bikes from dealers, a bike wash, a ride as pillion on a fast bike etc etc.

we're you even there?

I saw the Nationals / GP event in CHCH advertised in the inflight magazine on my flight from Auckland to CHCH. I thought that was mint! Haven't seen any TV ads though.. But could to have advertising going

lets give some more mention to the sidecars get those numbers up. crowds usually love watching them get up to mischief could be another crowd puller with a bit of effort.

Dunno about improving it further but she did enjoy watching the yunguns in the supporting classes and especially the young ladies who were racing. I guess that's just a matter of having info via programmes or the PA on a few of those individuals and allowing people identify a bit with the riders. Apart form that ... just shade.

[Mully Clown]

I must say that it's bloody hard to find an official listing of all the rounds!

the two commentators walked the pits for several hours with rider profile sheets, and the Canty club had their own at sign in.
there were quite a few came back but a number didn't bother. I did point out i wanted both ends of the riding spectrum to mention not just those at the front overall the response was what i expected with a few chuckles along the way.
We read them out quite oftyen during the day and i'm printing off more for timaru today.
thanks for your input
