Yip agreed, if anyone wants to take an issue up "officially" , however if one just wants to shoot the breeze and bounce an idea or two around then what the hey.

Easy for you to say , youre a someone in the sport.

Well....it's pretty hard to argue against this list. I suppose you should also add:

*inciting anger/hatred/violence

?

But we all hate you Biggles

...and I guess thats the downside of KB. Allowing everyone to comment on every issue even if they're not affected/controlled by the outcome. Ah yes, the joys of internet forums. Take them with a pinch of shit.

Im never reading your posts anymore because you constantly use KB and we all know what that means. I dont even race anymore but .... words now out im cleared to return if i want to

Shame about the other alterations making the track ridiculously dangerous. That looks like it'd be fun to see how fast you take the right hander and still make the left.

Put a bloody great hole in there and you've got the dipper at Ruapuna - in reverse.

Yep, as it is it looks like a carbon copy of Levels: Timaru, leading the country since ages ago!

Maybe put in another chicane to slow you down for this chicane...

I see what Chris Amon means . The main passing spot for cars is the end of the straight, this will probably mean more processional racing with fewer places to pass.

Processional racing......

Slotcars anyone??

If you have a concern about the safety of Pukekohe make sure you go through the correct chanels and speak to MNZ about it rather than discussion on Kiwibiker.

Oi!, thought you had to sit in the naughty corner and be quiet!

I still don't understand what the difference is between this one and the Hampton Down's home straight's wall?

Your pretty much upright by the time you get to the wall at Hampton, where as your still quite leant over at the top of the hill at puke, and being the top of a rise, it is a lot easier to lose the rear.

What about that fatality?

[sugilite:Me]

What about that fatality?

Yeah, I think I know what your talking about. There was this weird ramp bump thing there where bikes got completely airborne, a guy lost control and unfortunately his life. Did HD remove it right away? Nope, they removed it after a poor little porche worshe lost control and hit the wall.

The fatality at HD was due to badly adjusted suspension. Rebound had been wound all the way in at both ends so the wheels would've been leaving the ground for much longer than usual.
