Pukekohe Auckland MCC Advanced Training Day 8 December

[white belt]

I have filled out all the forms and it will be in the post this morning. Looking forward to it. Thanks Jill for encouragement.

Hello,

I would be in for this but have something planned already on that day. Do you have any idea when the next one will be taking place, and if something like this also happens at Taupo, or only Pukekohe? On a side note, I assume 250s would be okay, and what happens if your bike doesn't meet standards on the day? My tires were said to be getting close to borderline at the last WOF.

The next one is planned for Feb - date to be confirmed.

250s are fine (and encouraged).

If your bike fails on a safety point, then unless it can be fixed on the day for the day, you do not get to ride on the track that day. You will not necessarily get your entry fee refunded either, particularly in the case of obvious neglect to have your machine in reasonable and safe condition.

The club is not planning to do its Advanced Rider Training Days at Taupo. Among other considerations, the couple of hundred big impact absorption bales are stored at the Pukekohe track, and cartage to and from Taupo would cost thousands of dollars that participants would not be willing to pay (probably 20 truck and trailer loads - they weigh little but are bulky). AMCC would not consider a training day without the bales. In addition, the preceding theory night is in Auckland.

Bumpity Bump.

Still plenty of places left for the training day on Saturday at Pukekohe. Don't let the rain put you off, I guarantee you will learn even more by doing a track day in the wet than you would in the dry!

Also a theory night tonight at the AMCC club rooms included in the price.

Registration form is on the first page.

See you all there.

Well, for a change the worse weather hit us for the race day on Sunday, not the ART day on the Saturday.

AMCC has Pukekohe booked for the next ART day on 19 January 2008, forms available soon.

Folk that spoke to me appreciated the theory night beforehand (those who could get to it), and the one on one discussion and riding observations/assessments/tips/ideas, but then that would be the way I take it.

Feedback here or by PMs always welcome - we are always aiming to improve. Some things can be done; some cannot (eg for the latter, preventing engine blowups by scrutineering...)

Cheers

i had sent my form and card details for payment, havent heard anything after.
Do i get intimated or how does it work? Thanks.

A great day, and we were very lucky with the weather, which was just a bonus on top.

Thanks to everyone, well run and very informative couple of days, learnt lots and plan to do more in the future.

Highly recommended to everyone.

Please PM me with details of your credit card debit etc. You should have got an acknowledgement, at least.

Please watch the AMCC website for details of the 19 January ART day, or later ones, so we can be sure that you are enrolled for whatever subsequent one you can get to.

And, yep, you do just turn up on the day (and the theory night) regardless of whether you do get to hear from the club after you have sent your entry in. I have no idea if you sent yours in late, but lateish entries sometimes do not allow time in advance for acknowledgement from the club.

Cheers

Pete

Was a great day. Weather perfect, track excellent etc.
Does anyone know the contact details of the photographer there? Would be keen to see some of the pics.

Andrew Bright from Ultrapix: www.ultrapix.co.nz was there but he tends to do individual stuff. I think he said pics would be up on Friday.

It was indeed an excellent day.
