I am therefore I do
O.k you lot,what track do you most enjoy racing on? Pukie,Taupo,Manfield,Ruapuna,Levels or Teretonga ?
Id make it a poll, but me is a bit dumb eh. If someone wants to though, go for it...
A few reasons would be good....
This has probably been done before so sorry if it has.

Only done Taupo and Puke.
Taupo is a proper track - not much right turns though...
Puke is a bit of a mongrel but has it's own charm as you can go weally weally fassssssssssssssst and enter corners at 200+. Not many left turns though...
Pretty sure someone posted a thread like this before... but whocares....

Only dont manfield and taupo and out of them two taupo wins it
A girlfriend once asked " Why is it you seem to prefer to race, than spend time with me ?"
The answer was simple ! "I'll prolly get bored with racing too, once i've nailed it !"
Bowls can wait !
now where's some dirt!
Teretonga all the way. High speed, bit of everything. Real nack to getting a good lap in. Only problem is its location...
As for worst track, taupo by a country mile. Second is Puke but only because of the armco too close to the track, if it had decent run off it would be second best.

Also Taupo's beautiful with the mountain in the background and the grass everywhere. So even from a scenic perspective it's a nicer place to be for spectators, etc.
Here's an old pic from my 250 days...

Taupo's too bitty. Real racing happens on fast circuits. Fast corners really separate the men from the boys.
no more pies
ruapuna has more turns, and is still wicky fast, and they got the dipper!!

Sorry old man, you must have left your reading glasses in the refrigerator again, title of the thread says NZ race tracks...
Although, when the opportunity presents itself, I shall be sure to take up your good suggestion.

I agree completely although the location isnt that bad, you can almost get it whenever you want and it has no noise restrictions (race till the sun goes down).
Levels is a close second (nice and technical) with Ruapuna 3rd (has some funny corners like the right hander before the infield sweeper) Manfield 4th (its still a camel track) and Puke 5th (That arm-co and the massive bumps in the front straight/1st corner that try to throw you off the bike).
Iv never ridden taupo because its not a nationals track.
I am therefore I do
You must be a yank right,or been living there to long & caught the "we're better than everyone" syndrome...

In the riders seat
Most guys who can't handle techincal tracks say that
"If you can make black marks on a straight from the time you turn out of a corner until the braking point of the next turn, then you have enough power."

Not true, Im NZer living overseas for 11months of the year.You must be a yank right,or been living there to long & caught the "we're better than everyone" syndrome...
Just apoint though, you shouldve made this poll only open to people that have ridden all the tracks in the poll,that way you'll get a less bias opinion from people who don't know what theyre talking about. I didnt vote because I haven't ridden all the tracks in the poll. Ive ridden 4 of them though.
