[k14]

done....doz tuis if I beat ya....doz speights if you bet me....ruapuna or levels I don't care....its on!!!

its on biaaaaaarch. hope you're not as fast as ivan, he scares me....

[FROSTY:Me]

This was decided last month. No permits till the armco is gone

[Titanium]

this is good to see!!

As soon as Transit object to anything ...... throw in another $200K and 2 years.

First hand experience with Transit and access to SH1, a 30K 1 month project for 200 m of slip lane on th SH1 took a further 2 years and $200k in counsultants fees to complete.

The company I work for have a commercial interest in the Hampden Downs project ...... we are not holding our breath.

Cheers

LETS TAKE IT TO THE STREETS

You're on bitch!

[Toast]

The main objectors are Transit and the Corrections Dept.

What the fuck business have they got with this?

Is the track hampering a possible road widening for the year 2345?

And corrections? Fuck, maybe the track can employ some of their guests to clean it up.

Bastards all of them, just have to be involved, need to feel important, need to feel that they're actually earning their piss arse govt wage...

I think we as a country need to return to the Muldoon era, where people were happy to be paid to do nothing, especially when there was nothing that needs doing...

/rant, off to bed...

[SlowHand]

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.

Yeah?

You'd better bring the piss with you, it'll save you a trip to the bottle store while you're here

Wasn't to be taken entirely seriously...point being that a lot of people these days seem to have too great a need to get involved to make themselves feel like they're earning their O2.

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

Yep... But i would rather race at Paeroa or Wanganui or Isle of Mann than Pukekohe... If it comes to the crunch ill still race at Pukekohe, but if it goes, ill not be sad to see it go...

[GR81]

ive never been to puke before and am wondering what you're talking about and what makes the armco barriers so dangerous, anyone got a photo or anything?

[Two Smoker]

The fact that the barriers are only 10-15 metres away from the track on the outside of 200+kmh corners

[The_Dover]

iwhat makes the armco barriers so dangerous?

They're solid.

When you hit solid objects at speed it hurts.

Lots.

[FROSTY:Me]

No thats not the problem--They make you go back afterwards and scrub all the blood and gore off . And by the time you spend months in hospital and at home recovering then rebuild your totalled bike the stuff has dried pretty darned hard.

[GR81]

i see now. that makes sense tho, auckland doesnt seem to be able to do much right when it comes to roading/tracks...
que: motorways, western springs speedway, puke race track etc

the list never ends!
