The possible stopping of Motorcycle Racing at Pukekohe

**Cleve** · 11th July 2006, 23:43

On topic. I have a love/hate relationship with Puke. Yes it is fast and dangerous and as a previous post said that is what is thrilling about it and I agree. But it has too few corners and is too short (well as it is sooo fast a lap doesn't take too long).
Hampton Downs would be great but I am getting real impatient for that one...

i think if they ban bikes we should make a submission to ltnz to ban all racing there on safety grounds , we could get the complainig locals in on the act and this will force hampton downs to be bought forward , i hate cars and i dont care if they dont get to race

paeroa and wanganui are more dangerous i hope they dont ban those .
i think it should be racers choice , motorcycles are a bit dangerous thats just one of the things i like about them

TS where did you hear this. This would have a huge impact on the AMCC.

I like the place but do treat it with respect. It would appear that a review of safety measures should happen before racing is halted. Interested in a response from MNZ.

Yeah thats a fair point but by having puke as a nationals round you take away it being the racers choice.

Yeah of course they can still not race there but if someone is serious about the championship they are forced to compete there if they want to have a chance.

I reckon pukie's a hoot...fast as shit....a good rush....I don't care about those armco's...I'm not planning to fall off....and if I do....shit happens....I know the risks....more likely to hurt ya self just as bad on the road.
but hampton downs sounds like its going to be fun....if its any good I might move to auckland!!!

Yep you're on. I'll even give ya a 625cc and 3 cylinder advantage. No chance of loosing with that advantage is there?

MNZ will NOT issue a permit for any racing at Pukie as long as the armco barrier extending from the pits entrance to trackside on turn 6.
They concider this section of armco to be too dangerous for bikes -effectively closing the track.
AMCC officials have been in meetings with Track officials to see if a resolution to this matter can be found.
One possible solution is to have that section of armco be made removeable.
At this point there will be no AMCC club series held at pukie and the national round for march will not happen
