    Pay to ring the tracks first but Ruapuna usually does a Tuesday and Friday test day for $80 a bike (??I think). Levels does a similar thing most days of the week, cost is in the $200-300 range so I belive. Then Teretonga, $50 for any day of the week. But wait for one of the other guys to get on here and give you a better idea.

    Some of the teams book the tracks for testing before the Nationals you might be able to talk nicely to them and get out the same days they are

    Normally, you can ride at Invercargill on the Thusday, Levels on the Wednesday and Christchurch on the Tuesday and Thursday before Nats. Seemed to have been this way for last couple of years.

    Well all I can say is good luck! Been there, done that. This year I'm importing a mate to help me out. It's tough having to organise every single thing yourself and then go out and race in 35 degrees (ruapuna last 2 years) but maybe I am just soft
