PARTY CODE 28191

We need a name for the Party!!

CORUBA GOLD KIWIBIKER PARTY 07
Link direct to the Party Link
Once here you will need to register and then send a message to the host, please include in this message you first name and surname and your email address, I will then send you an official invite.

IDEA SO FAR
1. Based in Taupo
We cater for all types of bikes and riders (and their families)
We will investigate the following activities (prior to the Coruba Gold Party)

1. GO FOR GOLD - TRACK RACING
My thoughts here are to simply have circuit racing, I am not sure of the logistics for this, so we need someone to organise this event.
I have assist with the rescue marshals and paramedics (proper race conditions would apply.)
Also we could approach motorcycle companies/dealers to perhaps arrange test rides??
Also perhaps work in with the NZDRA for Drag events for entertainment between races?

2. ITS NOT MAGIC, ITS GOLD - TRAIL ADVENTURE RIDE
A trail/adventure ride, my thoughts are for 2, one for road legal bikes on an adventure/trail ride and another for off road bikes only. I also need someone to organise these somewhere close to Taupo (Kaiangaroa Forest??)
We could even organise a Truck to pick up and drop the bikes off from Taupo??

3. IN THE SEARCH FOR GOLD - ROAD RIDE
As the name states, a road tour, I am thinking of a treasure hunt style event here, and in the interests of road safety (and of course the media attention) it will not be a timed event, however if you complete the route under the minimum time allowed you are excluded from the results.
Your thoughts? I also need someone to arrange this, It must have good roads etc. It must cater for experienced and novice riders too.

So the participants can arrive prior to 9.00am say, do whatever they like then at 5.00ish, the track is closed, and the call in made, NO MORE RIDING or DRIVING, THE GOLD HAS ARRIVED....Party time
Of course all the entrances and exits are locked and patrolled by security, and only one entrance/exit will be used, NO vehicles will be allowed to exit (other than taxis and sober drivers) until 10am the following day (breath testing will be compulsory, and if the organisers or their respective officials have any reason whatsoever you have been drinking, you will not leave!)

PARTY EVENTS - IN THE CORUBA GOLD ZONE
Of course all participants for this zone must be over 18.
Stunt riders provide a demo
Freestyle riders also provide a demo
Drag racing demo (lets get some good ole Doorslammers, maybe a V8 vs Jap import Face-off)
Bikini Comp? (sorry girls, but please feel free to enter )
Something for the ladies??? (sorry again I have no idea, as I am not that way inclined )

I also thought we could have a CORUBA GOLD MEMBER ZONE
This zone will be for winners of the events, and this entitles them to be served by THE CORUBA PARTY GIRLS, they will recieve meals, drinks, First class seating etc etc for the night.

Then it gets dark
Fireworks Display
Bands and Dance area
Then party into the small wee hours of the night

FAMILY EVENTS
Mini Motorbike rides
Sideshow things (merry go round etc)
Family only camping area
Maybe we have a complimentary crèche/kids club so mums and dads can relax, and also single parents can chill out for a while.
Maybe visits to things in Taupo on the Kids Bus?

Also a charity fundraiser with any proceeds going to them.

Of course this is not a one man band, we need lots of help so if you want something to do, then drop me a PM, below is a list of things that need taking care of
I need to put someone responsible in charge of each of the events, and hopefully you will have a good team of people to work with to pull it all together.
You will need to get costings, and then we put it all together, of we are over the $50k then we start culling things or we barter the prices.
We need to negotiate with suppliers to get better prices and maybe freebies.
Also we would appreciate any suggestions you may have.

Cheers

Questions, please vote, select multiple....

Which Track?

What Date?

[Zukin]

I just remembered that the ISDE is on in Mid November, so we cant clash with that?
October is pretty close, but if the track is available on the Long weekend, that could work out ok too??

[placidfemme]

*hopes its Nov/Dec as my bike will be working by then*

OK, newbee here.....ISDE?

[Zukin]

If we hire the 3.5km track, does that mean we can use the smaller one for racing and the remainder for rider training/drags etc when there is no racing on?

[Zukin]

I think thats the right spelling?
Its the international enduro that is based out of Taupo, also the same weekend as the World Rally Champs in Hamilton.

From the drawings, I am guessing there are two tracks linked, track 3 being the entire place....Your idea is a good one, will ask about getting 3 and splitting the two tracks on the day.

[Ozzie]

Taupo is booked 5-21st November, that is the only bookings posted on their site.

Should I get some make a phone call and get some options?????

We need to pick a date pretty quickly I immagine.

[Zukin]

I am very familiar with the Taupo race circuit, so my thoughts are to hire the entire track, then we can use the Small or intermediate track for racing, and then rider training (how to corner properly, or stunt training, emergency braking etc) can be used at the far end.
Of course in the interests of safety I am not sure whether they will allow two races to be on at the same time??

However
There maybe an opportunity to use the full track for demos at lunchtime etc?

Cheers

Ok lets leave the post up till the end of the week and make a call from there?
I will be at Taupo racetrack again this weekend so I can have a good look around

[Ozzie]

I'll give them a call

If your going to do rider training, and if its open to the general public, you may wanna see if the guys who do Ride Right Ride Safe (Ask CaN) are happy to help out, they have the experience and knowledge to do so safely.

Available dates are:

Track 3 $6120 incl GST (both tracks, can be run independant of each other)
16/9 and 23/12 are the only dates available.

Track 2 $4470 incl GST
30/9, 18/11, 16/12, 23/12

Hirage includes permission to camp over night; They have an area that "should be alright" to have a band/s; The old camping area has camp power, the new one does not; the new camp area would have to be where the band goes; track must close at 5pm due to resource consent.

Cleanup and security has a cost: TBA (will see if we can use Lions)
We would have to arrange porataloos for the camping/entertainment area.
