Big Bike Day Out Playday at Hampton Downs, 23-24 Feb 2013

[Playday]

Ok so I go to pay my $150 and see medium/fast groups are sold out. Jeesus. That quick!

I got a very quick R1, new sticky Michelins, one piece with new knee pads etc. Can I go with the slow pokes anyway? It's ok to overlap on the straights yeah? In Europe that was the standard if you got time poachers infront

Your R1 is an awesome bike but you really need to be in the Medium or Fast group. They are both fully booked and the Slow/Novice group does not sound it is the right place for you at all. So sorry buddy if we were to put you in slow/novice all as I can see is problems. Come for a ride out and have a look around so next time when you book early we will put you in the correct group and you can wear out your knee pads with others doing your speed.
cheers

There is no place better to ride than on a track on a new or larger bike, get the feel for it and enjoy rather than worrying about the oncoming traffic. Your friend is more than welcome.

so we have made two free Cruiser Group sessions on the Saturday 1pm and 3.30pm approximately(Saturday only) The Cruiser groups will be restricted to road speeds and our roaming marshals shall be looking after the safety out on the track. Your normal riding clothing will be fine, full leathers recommended but not essential. We would love to have you out there

I assume this isn't limited to a style of bike - but more a style of riding?

Nothing stopping someone (my wife) taking my bike (which is registered for the medium group while I am riding)?

If we are riding both days and will be in a garage can we leave bike/gear there overnight? Will it be locked up and safe?

Lazy... I wouldn't... what if garage is already open when you get there in the morning? people are camping there / staying at accom. overnight... plenty of people about... perhaps that is the paranoid in me... I will help you get your bike back in the van, just not out again in the morning. Besides would insurance still apply if it gets pilfered there?

2 x road speed crusiers is only for Saturday and as playday only run 4 groups in total and Kartsport NZ have taken 1 of the 4 to host their national race meeting, so 5-6 session should not be a problem denpening on issue's

but in saying that all groups are now fully booked and a waiting list has been formed.

This thread has been up for a month or so. Updates on groups filling up. Snooze-lose I'm afraid.

Should be a good weekend for all.

Are the karts running both days? Will you put two groups together to free up a session slot?

Cheers.
