    Thinking of a KB track day at pukekohe.

    Im kinda toying with the idea of a KB track day at pukie.
    This is JUST to bounce ideas around
    Cost would probably be around $90 each based on 60 riders.
    I would only do it if 2 changes are made to the track on the day.
    1) a cone chicane 2/3 down the back straight. -Making entry speeds to the hairpin slower
    2) a cone chicane just before "the hill" -bringing speeds to the 60km/h mark
    The reason is that if speeds at these two points on the track were reduced the efects of a crash would also be reduced.
    The rest of the track has fairly good runoff except maybee for very deep into castrol --but I cant see any way to reduce speeds there
    Feed back -either positive or negative would be greatly apreciated.

    1:Not sure your chicane before the back straight needs to be there
    2: Can we have an air fence please?

    The chicane on the back straight is to slow the track down for newer riders -that one id probably have easily moved for the fast group.
    The one before the hill--not negotiable --that corner is just too dangerous so the speed I feel needs to be got down so it isn;t an issue -Yea itll change the dynamics of the track but Probably for the better

    So you're finally admitting it?

    Moths.

    Fucken 'orrible things, can't stand 'em. All "fluttery" and shit.........yick!


    And Frosty, how do you put a chicane in made of cones? You're going to lose a hell of alot of track width.

    Anyone who doesn't wanna ride Puke fast, goes in the slow group. Though that's why we have different classes?
