Costs to hire Hampton Downs

The prices are up on the website for track bookings made in 2008, for 2009.

Can anyone tell me how this compares to other Nth Is tracks?

It does not seem all that expensive to me, I mean if you were running a non profit track day and got 130 people charging $100 each thats more than enough to cover the track hire on a weekend. There are other costs involved, but there should be more than enough left over to cover them.

Full track on w/e = $6750 for the day. How do you get 130 x $100 to be non-profit?

[Ixion]

$100 * 130 = $13000 - $6750 track hire = $6250 for other stuff ?

It was just a quick example that I came up with.

Nice to see the drifters get charged extra for fucking up the track for everyone else

What's this cost 'per car' bit for trackdays?

I'm hoping that's a charge for an open testing day, and not a charge per vehicle on top of the track hire?

If it's only $6.75k for the full track then I'd say that's damn good, as it's less than Taupo and HD should shit on that.

Charging more for Drifters is all good too!!

From what i've heard it is the track hire + $150 / bike

[kiwifruit]

very promising!

[owner]

ouch! I saw that 150$ there too. Email them see whats up Im going to

Looks to me like that $150/180 applies per ..... when they are running an open track day. Otherwise you hire (the track) at the stated amount.

as it's less than Taupo

No it's not.

[boostin]

No it's not.

How much does Taupo cost?

$6120 for a weekend day (track 1).

No it's not.

My bad. I didn't mean to type 'less than', meant to type a 'negligible amount more than', as last I'd heard it was $6500. Even $6750 vs. $6120 seems like better value to me.
