    NZSBK: Round IV from Hampton Downs, 16-17 March. Feedback?

    Well it's been over for almost 24 hours and nobody has started a thread complaining yet. That's unheard of!

    Three possible reasons come to mind.

    1) No one went.
    2) Heaps of people went, and it was such a screaming success that everyone's still drunk or speechless.
    3) The Auckland Motorcycle Club have bought KB off Spankme and are carefully moderating all threads.

    So what's the guts? I'm sure someone's got some comments......

    No matter how late the meeting ran, why did Shirriffs think he'd chase Bugden's arse off the track?

    Sitting in the dry warmth of my home it was OK watching it on the 'puter even at that hour. Kept checking my dinner cooking between races.

    They could have sent the muscle cars out a couple of times too because I missed the one time they did as I had to go into town for a while about then. I hear they were really good for the spectacle of the days racing.
    Cheers

    The Ctas was great, 2 cameras, Grant does a great job

    Yesterday arvo it kept freeeving up tho, anyone else have problems like that, think my modem may have had enough by then

    Lucky it rained to make up for no showers there, wonder if a communal sprinkler was provided by AMCC for the racers

    Yep, was after 5pm when it started doing that. Between the breaks I switched it up and watched AMA Supercross, best way to fill in the gaps.

    Conditions looked crap, not much they could do with that. Well done CTAS, I know i'll be watching(the few entered bikes) this weekend instead of going Taupo. Who's going to be first to forget their gate pass...

    Were the muscle cars scrutineered? Are they relevant at a bike race event?

    Oil on a wet track is no fun on fast bikes. The organisers/marshals made an effort to clean it up with sprays but it all took time. Fortunately the track started to dry up at that stage.

    The racing was awesome - wet and dry.

    Some photos with a few notes:

    We were all set to head down until it pissed down after having no rain in weeks. Watched the delayed racing in the comfort of my lounge with a few coldys. Ctas rocks
