Nello riders!! I've been doing some stuff behind the scenes, working with the Monday night newbies and now been granted permission to take the newbie riding thing one step further....to the track (just a mini one lol)

If any of you are interested in attending this to improve your riding skills(it'll be once a month) then please come along...the more the better!!

It also will give you an insight to how it feels to be riding on the track, developing your lines better and handling of your bike in a controlled environment but pushing it a little further. If you are keen, I can organise for you all to meet at Shell Westgate as per normal and have someone lead you out to the track in Panmure, and back out west after...

I've just been given the go ahead with hiring out the Mt Wellington go kart track!!!!

Here's the thing...

Firstly we have to make a donation to the go kart club, as they will be giving me a key, their fee to hire the track is $250 this will be discussed at the next meeting. There is an exception because we are a community organisation, and trying to help other riders, the go kart club supports this and said they will lower the fee to an acceptable donation from us as a group.

Remeber that this is still a voluntary thing and I intend to keep it that way, all proceeds which we raise as a group will go into the Go kart account for track hireage. The more riders we have, the less we can charge per person. I make nothing out of this personally, just to clarify things.

Secondly, THERE IS TO BE NO RACING!! under any circumstances. I can not stress this enough!! Yes we can go fast, but the environment will be controlled...the reasons why??

1 - No ambulance on site.
2 - There are noise restrictions and we have to respect others around us.
3 - I gave Ian my word we would not race therefore he agreed to this.
4 - Dont want to be picking up your binned bikes.
5 - We will loose the privledge of using the track.
6 - There are no avaliable marshals on set points/ corners on the track.

I have to write up a proposal for Ian and get back to him with it in regards to booking the track and what we will be doing on the track etc.

What I propose to you newbies is this...

First Monday of every month we hire out the track, if that's unavaliable, then try for the last Monday of every month.

So give it some thought, ideas, and/or ways to how we can raise money for an acceptable donation (some of us are poor students! *raises hand*) and see what we can come up with.
