I should imagine there may be heat races to work out a final, not so much because of space on the track but probably to add a element of drama to the event! But not sure really.. plenty of riding for sure.

We will provide more details as they come to hand.

Fantastic news.
I'm gutted I will probably be too munted to race.

[F5 Dave]

All my bikes? Crumbs I'll need a trailer at the least.

Provisional entry form is up:

If I'm wanting to enter both f4 and F5 GP's, is that $200 entry? Just trying to work out if we'll be taking both my bikes down (so long as they're both running) or leave one at home, and hope I've chosen the right one to take.

[Shorty_925]

Id say best to contact Nigel on the entry form.

Question is emailed

[Buddha#81:Me]

hmmmmmm.....I was keen but i'm hearing track three is a hp track and looks boring, $100 is a bit pricey even with a transponder, $200 is out of the question (iwould have brought a F5 bike as well) so I'll look forward to the answer if its $100 per class. I have feeling that you cant run in a GP race on a day licence which could be an issue for some if i'm right.

I was semi keen but the meeting is loosing its appeal, more than happy to hear from those that have raced on track three and be convinced otherwise!

Same question.

[F5 Dave]

Same question re the F4 & F5.

Also are we going to charge the South Islanders a tax for being good buggers & travelling up here, or don't we do that?

[NSR143]

Question 74:Cross entry fee
$50... subject to pressure and same bike or different bike?? (transponder etc??)

Question 45:Camping?
On site at Track 3 end

Question 106:Too fast?
Chicanes will be added before the straight to slow the speed out of the big left hander right down.

Question 2:What about our South Island buddies?
I have emailed one of their bosses offering half price entry. THIS THEY MAY NOT BE AWARE OF YET..

Anymore questions please say so...

[F5 Dave]

haha, sorry the crack about the south islanders was they had an extra fee for the BOB if not a club member which essentially meant a tax for out of towners. But you've certainly shown a proactive action to promoting the sport.

...

That's the right place to do it. Too far along & it becomes a dangerous collision point with tyres or other riders. a moderate kink without spoiling the flow has worked well in the past & the track is quite wide at that point. The rest of the track isn't as open as it appears & the elevation changes help.
