    Very few race events get 5000 people to them thease days - so it would have to be something special.

    And that means advertising.

    And that means siginifant $$$$.

    Its a big ask. I was involved in events for a while and it seems that the majority of sucessful events started off small and got bigger and bigger and bigger - until they became HUGE.

    Starting off with 5000 people in Taupo is going to be an uphill battle with no history to the event.

    I'm surprised no-one's mentioned this yet.

    But what about an international quality field of entrants?

    That would get me there tomorrow.
    And I to my motorcycle parked like the soul of the junkyard. Restored, a bicycle fleshed with power, and tore off. Up Highway 106 continually drunk on the wind in my mouth. Wringing the handlebar for speed, wild to be wreckage forever.

    I know, dammit.

    But I reckon that's what will bring them in.

    How about live bands, stunt shows... again, its all money.

    At the end of the day, the only other thing you've got is going to be absolutely brilliant racing.

    Or lots and lots and lots of really scarey looking crashes.

    +1 to that....but that's one of the joys () of living in Wellington - to go anywhere worthwhile, there's a trek involved

    It is an issue, and not just for me. There are plenty of people I know who would like to go, but there's nothing but buckets and speedway in the Greater Wellington Region. Some kids travel well, some don't.

    That's one of the things that bugs about racing in NZ. Racing groups ask what stops you from turning up to a race meeting, and if you mention travel time, you get dismissed instantly. NZ has built Race Tracks is STUPID places, and they usually have all the amenities of a back block sheep station.

    NZ race tracks don't work as a family event and I reckon that's why motorsport is the perennial struggler in the NZ sporting scene.
    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

    Rangi bikes - slow ones with lots of rattles and broken bits.
    Rat race would be awesome
