Attendence Required 23 April @ Puke

[Drunken Monkey]

'Twas thinking yesterday that if we had 10 or more KB'ers at a track day, we should be in a good poistion to get a Bulk Discount. $10 each off wouldn't go amiss. If we signed on as a group, all showing our Kiwi Biker sticker or something,
In essence, we are doing Free advertiseing for the track. We are creating a buzz, a "keeness" for bikers to get there. Because of Us, more bikes will be there. Thats got to be worth something to the Puke mangagement.
Or maybe they could make a $100 sponsorship to the KB web site. I guess that would be tax deductible for them.

Just thinking outside the tyre!
(is that allowed???)

Racey.

The track generally doesn't _need_ advertising for controlled testing days - there are usually enough club racers there for them to 'break even' ($80 x 15 = $1200). We might be able to get a discount if there's enough of us over this number however I wouldn't bank on it.
Yes this means if we want to arrange our own KB only day, it will cost the group $1200, regardless of how many of us turn up. This covers the track rental, 'marshal' and St Johns costs.
For those that are interested in running the strip at Meremere, it's $1000. This would effectively give 20 people at $50 ea as many runs as they wanted (easily more than 30 runs!) for the day. Compare with nightspeed for $25 you would get maybe 2-4 practice runs and about 1-4 races depending on how well you raced and how early you got there. (Drag racing well/consistently is more difficult than you think, and is worth the practice).

Thanks guys….oh!! my god….have you guys seen the pics of that guy in the other forum?? I signed up just to see them pics..... Man, no1 deserves that. Right after I’ve seen’em, I went straight to MotoMail and got myself a pair of thin gloves. They gonna be on me from now on every time im riding. My main prob is I have prob controlling the throttle with gloves on as I can’t fell it enough under my palm. Hope it will go away soon…

and yep ZXRR is my dream bike which Im getiing before next summer.

Hi guys and gals,
I and 2 other riders will be up for the 23rd of April.

p.s At $80 a day thats got to be a bargain compared to £130 (four years ago) i was paying for a track day in the UK

[Coldkiwi]

well, hope you all have a damn good time without me
done a financial check and the words 'not friggen likely' were uttered. (besides, if I do screw up, I REALLY don't want to be going on my honeymoon in a cast!) I'll just have to hang on till after June.

Well, MR at least you can get some lap times in on the new bike and show WT how to ride . You'll be really hustling by the time we next get out there. Can't wait! (P.s if ya want to borrow the fairings, PM me.)

Bugger it! I was looking forward to meeting ya! Ah well, at least it's one less 600 to hose me off.

Just have to try and keep up with that pesky Motoracer now

[Motoracer]

Oh man... would've been good to have you out there on the track but I guess I fully understand. Congrats again and we'll see you when you get back. Hopefully you won't loose any speed since your a family man now hehe (just teasing).

Thoes Welly riders seem pretty mad, I won't be surprised if they leave shockwaves as they zoom past me. We'll find out soon enough on the 23rd anyway. I already got race fairings but thank you for the offer.

Ciao

Oh.. I don't know, it must have been all the posts that I have read of you and Jimbo.

[White trash]

Yahoo! Fifteen sleeps to go!

Then it's Honda hunting time eh, Deano?

[Coldkiwi]

of course, I'm relying on MR to keep the pride of Auckland gixxer riders in tact. I know kiwidan and kiwistorm would be tearing past the lot of us but it'll be good to see how you guys go out there

I think at the moment I'm the only definite Wellingtonian there! I'll just have to go twice as fast
