Building a 250cc training and Minigp race track

[Shaun Harris]

So if some land had been made availlable to build a race track that would be designed to train young riders on 250cc production bikes as well as to allow Minigp racing, what land mass does the racing world say would be enough, obviously less is cheaper hence the size. It,s main focus is to give kids a place to learn at that is designed for them mainly. I do not want NO dam streight on this track of real length, anyone can go fast in a streight line.


What material would you reccomend for the surface


What company would you reccomend getting pricing from to prep and seal it

There will be a seperate dirt track involved with this.


Nothing more to add, just help me chase my dreams thanks.

...apart from a huge amount of money, the biggest and main problem would be consents and the cunts who give them... checking out and having this shit sorted first would be the priority before designing the wiggly bits...

...there's plenty of meetings coming up on it...BEARS Winter Series...CAMS class and Buckets...(and day licences, haha)...

I would say the 2.2k Taupo track is a pretty good model too.... 13 turns makes it pretty busy.... I think you should be able to make it all fit on 4 acres?

Funny thing.... When the news article came up asking what should be done with all the land nobody wants to build on, my immediate thought was build a track that is totally bike friendly......
Not taking anything away from Ruapuna Park, that is an awesome facility.... Would just be nice to have another modern track......
Of course the old money thing is the first issue. Also the fact that there are only so many punters who would want to use it....

So, Shauns idea of a specific little track especially for smaller bikes has merit. Saves the bucket racers using Carrs Road, if they even do....

Not allowed to as it isn't part of the terms of use or consent or some shit like that and the cunting residents know it and made sure we couldn't
