Anyone know how much Puke is to get for a day? Or probably more relevant, availability? That way you can stunt half the day and do some laps for the rest?

That'd be good.Prolly worth lookin into.

I agree, you're idiots, but for a different reason. I'm an idiot too because behaving like this there is a very real chance of injuring yourself. That's what makes it exiting. Having the skill to pull off a maneuver that most people have too much thoughts of self preservasion to try.

As long as there's no chance of people not involved geting hurt and no damage to others property, whats the harm?

I've seen a great video (about 4 minutes long) of a guy just wheelieing along a freeway in the states at a constant 50mph. Not breaking the speed limit at any stage. The ol' Five-Oh pull along side, lights blazing, telling him on the PA to pull over, the dudes just looking at them, still wheelieing away. Rides like this for about 3-4 miles before dropping the front and pissing off!

Properly executed wheelies are NOT dangerous driving. Doing them in populated areas is a different story.

awesome...what can i say...i just wish i could do 1/10 of those... ...lol....hey WT where is the clip? can i download it?..

How about a company carpark on a sunday. One with high fences and only one way in or out -The wattyl paints carpark comes to mind right now
Maybee with a spotter over the gate.

One way in and one way out??? nice - how bout an exit that is the perfect width for the Police Car to Block? Excellent!

Unless you were thinking of getting permission from them, it's a no go. Next official KB stunt meet has to be in a 100% legal venu.

People don't really care that much when you leave marks on roads in industrial areas but I'm sure it'd be personal once its inside their own carpark.

A carpark is still a road under the Land Transport Act, all the road rules still apply.

Pukekohe starts from $1200. Meremere starts from $1000.
You have to pay more at Meremere if you're running under a certain time (12s?), then they will have the St John's on standby for you - I think that's an extra $300 or so - and they won't stick around if there's another emergency to attend.
I'm not sure what other conditions Pukekohe raceway have, but the basic 'controlled testing' days are effectively an $80 x 15 racers minimum affair for the track marshal (that covers their costs). You'll probably find extras for St Johns again, any extra security costs, etc...
Not sure what they were including in that $3000, Wkid - But Puke is also open for corporate 'functions', ie manufacturer testing/show days, etc, so that maybe what they were quoting you for and that might possibly include extra facilities that we don't require (ie use of the function rooms for briefings or perhaps catering).

Maybe Spank should 'sticky' this somewhere, I think it's about the third time I've listed the cost of track hire, certainly for Meremere!

PS - You're unlikely to be able to hire on a Thursday, Friday, Saturday or Sunday unless you book a loooong time ahead (usually already booked for testing and racing). Easiest would be a Monday - Wednesday.

No shit! That fucks my idea right up, thanks for the heads up, Spud.

What about if it's a private carpark and you have permission. Be a pretty calous cop to do you, wouldn't it?
