Cemetary Circuit - Wanganui 26/12/2008 - Spectator Info

[flipper69]

Hey Guys & Girls,
The Wangas event is going to be bigger than Ben Hur.
You are going to see one of the best Road Race Spectaculars that NZ has seen in a while and there has been some awesome racing for the spectator over the last few years to compete with.
The club this year are going back to the people, and giving you guys what you want and deserve.
Get ya backsides trackside and dont hesitate to come up and meet and greet the competitors in the pits and say hello.
After all we aint there if you guys aren't there!

That's a shame on several levels.
1. You will miss some great racing
2. With new organisers you are punishing "innocent" parties (racers and the new organisers)
3. The event suffers as a whole because of people no longer involved



Actions speak louder than words and the fact that new management is involved should speak volumes.



I've actually spoken to the guy and he is obviously a genuine motorcycling enthusiast rather than just a "promotor" who doesn't care what sort of event they are "organising". He seemed genuinely excited about the event and was happy to accomodate a late entry rather than just going by the book and telling me to bugger off. Getting together twith Scrivy and co to organise the Xmas Tri-Series indicates he's looking at creating something bigger and better and can only bode well for the future.

From a spectator point of view I reckon the racing will be better than ever with some fast new faces on the scene and a return to separate F1 and F2 races. Not to mention there will be at least three manufacturers with serious chances of taking the title: Shirriffs on the mighty 'Blade (me? biased?), Stroudy and Shaun on Suzuki's, and last years suprise, Gareth Jones back on the Yamaha. And the Britten....I wouldn't care what event it was, I'd fork out just to see that thing turning a wheel again.

Staying away as a protest against past screw ups is punishing the innocent rather than the guilty. Come along and give the new guys a chance, they seem to be petro-sexuals like us rather than someone just going through the motions.

The SLIDEchair!! Anyone that misses out going to Wanganui this year wont get to see the Scriv-nut pushing the old beemer well past its operating envelope, tyre shreiking backing it into corners with the sidewheel up, massive understeer smoking drifts etc etc etc.
Damn i wish i could watch him, but alas, i need to hang off the side of the thing, so wont get to enjoy the action.
Id pay $50 just to see that.

He wont be racing it but he is doing some demo laps..

Could someone please sticky this thread and remove the unneccesaries???

I'm pm'd all mods in this section and have been ignored. It's relevant spectator information for an event.

[xr-rider]

is the britten being raced? Or is it there as a show bike? Who is piloting it?

Am hoping to be there. It is a great day out.

Bought my tickets online and they turned up just two days later! Well organised it seems! Get in there people.

Oh... and sticky???

Just ordered my tickets. I note that they're now $25 and not the $20 in the original post. Still good value as far as I'm concerned. Good luck to the new organisers. Here's hoping for great weather and some really good racing.
