Personally I think the problem is the location. It's too far out of town for the 'casual' spectator.

It is very little different time wise to Puke for the average AK resident, closer to the Tron & Tauranga so in terms of demograhics it should work. Remember Dave not everyone lives north of the Bombays. If you go closer to residential areas you run into other problems like Western Springs is currently finding out. Puke has problems with noise complaints & it will get worse.

Get over it. Its 3 and a half hours drive for us, about the same to Taupo and 3 to Minefield. If it was too close to population everyone would be complaining of noise pollution. Its a no win............Originally Posted by Big Dave

Nothing to get over.
All I'm saying is that Auckland offers a lot of 'bums on seats' competition closer to the city.

Same problem bathurst has, just to far to travel so no one goes......
One hell of a ride.
Dunno how it is for the other 51 weeks of the year though.
It's a long time since I went there. Too far for my interest in motorsport.
I did just have a surf around and note that Mt Panorama got $6mil in taxpayer funds last year.
It prompts the question of NZ government. Their Social responsibility and all that.

I think Australia has a Minister responsible for Motor Sports?

Pretty sure location isn't the problem. Don't think the drag strip ever has trouble getting crowds.
The trouble is there is no promotion of any event that is on there. Unless your looking the chances are your not going to know about it.
The fact the short track is pretty bloody boring to watch doesn't help.

Obviously PRomotion comes down to the budget and bums on seats.
Vicious circle while the facility is not finished.
Dunno Paul - do we? The Minister for Petrol Heads.
Chuck a wheelie mister.

Promotion is down to the organisations that hire the place. If you're running an event there it's up to you to promote it.
