ALL ATTENDING TRACK DAY PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING CAREFULLY
I want one and all to have a bloody good time so there are some points that are NON negotiable.

1) Bike setup/gear setup.
ALL BIKES/RIDERS going on the track will be scrutineered.
basicly bike needs to be able to pass a WOF but below are some specifics.
No sharp/edges/loose parts
Tyres must be road legal for road bikes.
ball ends on all levers to be in place.
.Mirrors removed or taped up.
No leaking fluids.
GLASS headlights to be removed or taped up to prevent glass flying if you crash .
Pack rack uppers to be removed -L arms to be taped over-preferably plugged.(again those w
No open tube ends on handlebars. (PLASTIC WINE CORKS MAKE GOOD PLUGS)
Brakes to work propperly front and rear.
Its preferable to have you tape over your speedo.(Its just a distraction) .
Riding gear-A full face helmet good fitting with no damage into the shell.
gloves,bike boots,cudura 2 piece,leather one piece or two piece.suit.
A back protector isn't compulsary but VERY strongly suggested

THE ONUS IS ON YOU TO MAKE SURE YOUR BIKE/GEAR IS UP TO SCRATCH
-Blown fork seals (oil not running down the fork leg) ,slightly worn swing arm bearings and similar may not stop you getting on the track -BUT as a couple of members have discovered it really mucks up your handling and spoils your enjoyment of the day.Its a great excuse to get those niggly little issues sorted.

-2 RULES FOR THE DAY
1 Show concideration for everybody else out there
2 Stick to your line -Dont try to get out of anybodys way or deliberately block.
3 when overtaking make sure you can do so safely.If in doubt -DON'T
4 if you see a RED flag waving anywhere on the track SLOW TO CRUISING SPEED THEN pull into the pits via the pits exit straight away -the clock will be stopped on your session so ya aint gonna miss out on laps. ANYONE trying to sneak an extra lap will miss out on the rest of that session.
5 If a slower rider is holding you up either use rule 3 or ride slowly through the pits and let em get ahead. -again--it aint a race.
6 when leaving the track pull to the far right side of the track and nearing pits exit hold your left hand up to let other riders know you are leaving the track.
7 if you are unlucky enough to run off the track raise your hand in the air to let us know you're ok.
8)dont look back -the onus is on anyone passing you to do so safely
9) if you are unfortunate enough to crash (it wont happen but just in case)
Your bike and gear needs to be rescrutineered before you can go back on the track.
10) obey the group passing rules to be explained on the day
11)Dangerous riding has a zero tolerance.You will be sitting out the rest of the day.
12) NO alchohol to be consumed in the pits area untill end of day.-by riders or spectators Riders must not be under the influence before the meeting or during .-this is a rule from taupo car club not me
Again guys N gals I really want one and all to have a good time so these rules are to protect us all.

Photographers/spectators.-nobody will be trackside unless cleared by marshalls and they MUST wear a fluro vest (except during the braking session) and there will be some areas that are out of bounds -this is strictly in the interest of safety

Changes from last track day.

and leave the track via the pits exit -Also please ride OFF of the propper line (Il explain that on the day)
DO NOT stop on the track.
Yellow flag waved on a corner -SLOW--- no passing on that corner
Chequred flag waved at designated point(probably pits exit)--end of session--also yellow flags displayed at all marshal points in case ya missed it.
Session designations--At the moment the session flags will be red/green/yellow/white.
The session flag will be clearly displayed for the group on the track.
2 Minutes before session change a foghorn will be sounded and the flag for the next session will be displayed.
Changing Groups -Ill only be changing you from one speed group to another at 4 times during the day.The exception to this is if you are clearly in the wrong group and I will change you -either too fast or too slow for your group.
There will be two med groups--up to 600 and 600 plus -(the 636 is 600plus)
There will be a whiteboard with sessions to go and sessions run on it -also a clock showing when the last session started

Accomodation for track day

Camellia court is the place I use
They are in Tonga st
Taupo
Which is just off Spa road -(The road to the track)
The place is really nice and the people are both bikers.
DUE TO LACK OF INTEREST IVE ONLY BOOKED 2 BIG ROOMS AND A CABIN--3 BEDS ALREADY TAKEN

**FROSTY:Me** · 11th January 2006, 22:01

I have been asked about pillion sessions--I will NOT have special pillion sessions this time.
But once we're all settled down -most likely afternoon I will allow pillions out in the SLOW group.
I will put any designated pillion sessions on the board.
Also --The wheelie session will be fitted into the timetable--but will be weather dependant

**FROSTY:Me** · 2nd March 2006, 07:27

Folks there has been a question raised re the increased price.
This isn't a case of me suddenly deciding I want to make a huge profit.
JUST to hire the track has gone up from under $1500 to $4475 -YEP A $3000 PRICE RISE
Its a brand new track and its no longer run by a club its run by a profit making company -None of the other fixed costs have really changed. Except Im paying for marshalls rather than having KB marshalls so EVERYBODY gets track time.
The hint I have is that Hampton Downs is goint to be similarly priced.

**ZeroIndex** · 21st March 2006, 13:13

Any price for spectators? I know my bike's too slow for even the pit lane, but I wouldn't mind watching...

**Kornholio** · 21st March 2006, 20:18
