[Racey Rider]

Whats the entry fee?
Is it, Praitice and 3 races per class?

Does anyone know how much cash I need to bring for the entry fee?
I presume they don't take cheques?

Shitre cant remember but recall $65.00 being the number + $20 for entering another class, could be wrong, if you take $100 you should be sweet, good luck

[Quasievil]

Ive just rung them and yes there is day licences at $15-$20 each and the entry fee is $60, so if you need a day licence its $15 + $60.

As this was my first race day with PMCC, I had a couple of thoughts to share for discussion.

We pay a lot to go to a race day. The $60 entry fee is fair, but I for example spent close to $100 in petrol just towing the trailor/bike to Taupo and back so would like to get as much race time in as possable while there. All the racing was over by about 4pm. Couldn't we use an extra hour till 5pm to get more racing in? Could we have just one practice session to give more race time? I ended up spending $160 for just 18 minutes of racing time. (3 races @ about 6 minutes each). I'm sure this may have been talked about before but I would like to hear other peoples opinions.

The other thing of concern was that in the Streetstock/Classic's, the race was not stopped when two bikes crashed at the exit of the sweeper. One bike was left lying in the middle of the track spilling out a lot of petrol while the racing continued. While this bike was not on the racing line, it only took somebody to stuff up their corner to end up running straight into it. I was on my bike going around and maybe couldn't see the full picture, but it seemed a little unsafe to me.

Someone mentioned it might have been $20 to enter a second class. someone else said (at the end of the day) it was free to enter a second class. What is the club policy on that so i know if I get back there again??

Thanks.
Racey.

PMCC rounds are known for being very laid back. I remember a race where some guy lay rolling around on the hairpin for 3 laps in agony while the race still went on (until it finished actually!). Those country folk are a hard bunch and their definition of "dangerous" differs somewhat from us city dwellers.

Also race events aren't the best place to be expecting track time, you are better off relying on track days for that kind of stuff - Race days are good for experience and points. It costs me approx $300 all up to attend a Taupo event so I need to pick and choose them carefully.

[FROSTY:Me]

yep--the cost of a race day at Taupo costs about $300-400
A track day at Pukie costs about $150
