Kiwi Biker Track Day 5 -- May 2007

[Karma]

I can't see any information on there about booking a garage, but suspect that would be at extra cost no?

If it's going to cost a lot extra then don't think I'll bother, just assumed (wrongly it seems) that hiring the track meant hiring the garages as well...

$250 on top of the track hiring costs as well? Do they expect people are going to use them?

Personally I can't see the business sense in having them sat there doing nothing, it's not like anyone else will be able to use them while we're out on the track.

Oh what am I thinking... this is NZ we're talking about...

WOA THERE--if ya have a problem with how the OWNERS of the garages and track do things--have a bleat at them
I'm working with what I've got

im with you, Karma
i think it is rediculous that they are charging $250 a garage. they have obviously put some "moron" in charge of this if only they charged say a hundred , they would actually recieve some money, instead of zip"
in saying all that, ya dont really need one, its handy bringing a pit tent just in case the sun comes out though,---

i might write a letter/email to taupo track to see why they are that price--

i dont believe it was directed at you frosty, you do a sterling job"

Yeh sorry dude, wasn't aimed at you at all. You got my respect for putting the day together, even if you do ride a pink bike

Garages are at the VERY special price of $200 each for our trackday
For this money you get.
a 4-6 car sized Garage with fluro lighting.
To give you an idea how big--they have 4 holden v8 sized roller doors and will fit 4 holden V8's with room to spare
Running water and (at least) 4 electric power points for tyre warmers electric drills etc.
Before having a moan --think about this--The garage will fit a very MINIMUM of 8 bikes with literally room tons of room around em to work on the bikes Id say more likely each garage will without trouble fit 10 bikes
10 of ya get together and bingo $20 buck each
Call JACKY on 07 3765033 to book a garage --or just get one on the day

Hmmm 10 people in a garage all working on bikes,, me thinks not.. 5 comfortably with tools, petrol cans , tire warmers, pit stands etc, then ofcourse there is the entering and exiting the garage, during track sessions,

still a rip---and it shows cos no one hires them!!!

[FROSTY:Me]

Ok Gix tell ya what--I'm prepared to make a lil wager with you --
THERE IS ENOUGH ROOM FOR 8 RACE BIKES COMPLETE WITH WARMERS /WORK ON THE BIKES--EVEN FULL WHEEL SWAP OUTS AND NO INTERFERENCE BETWEEN INDIVIDUAL BIKES AT ALL -EVERY BIKE CAN COME AND GO FROM THE GARAGE WITHOUT PASSING OR INTERFERING WITH ANOTHER BIKE
with a bit of carefull positioning Id suggest that even 10 RACEBIKES would be easily done (might be a squeeze)
The garages are 10.0m square -with 4 single car roller doors -2 each end
This is a statement from me
If I am wrong I will shout you your next track day--If I am right--YOU will pay me double---ya up for the bet??

[ArcherWC]

Frosty's getting testee, haha

[yod]

prolly been asked already but anyhoo....if i wanna toodle on up and just have a nosey (not ride the track just watch), any charge to get in? just bowl on through??

[FROSTY:Me]

Yod---no charge to watch-unless you are STUPID enough to hang ya legs on the trackside of the pit wall
And NO archer--me not testie at all ---the bet was typed with a big ol grin on my face--i WANNA SEE NOW IT THE DOUBTING THOMASES ACTUALLY TAKE ME UP ON THE BET.
