Is the track together then? Good if it is.
Is there any chance of Gary using the bloody crash bailes?
Or getting rid of the drifters?
Is so, I'm in!

Track sessions starts at 1000hrs... im going to try be there at 0930...

Spectators entry fee.... nothing, its free

Cost to take bike/cage (ofcourse cage is irrelivant) $80

Sessions are about 20 minutes long (plenty of time to get you sweating etc) and if you do 4+ sessions you will be fucked as will your tyres (depending on how you ride)...

Parking: There is the pits, the area around the pits or the car park on the opposite side of the pits....

Session order is usually: Race Cars, enthusists, Drifters and Asians (im not being racist thats honestly the order) then bikes

Sessions finish up at 1600hrs

Ofcourse if its raining im not going.... although this time i might (even though i crashed last time) as i need some practice in the wet...

Probably be drifters there

And yep the track will be together as it will be after the Nationals round....

Yep, officially open for business as usual from the end of this month/start of next month. The first two controlled testing days are, unfortunately, 'race cars only' and 'cars only' days respectively.

I'll try and do this one, will definately be at the first Friday one. Weekdays are sooo much quieter. If this first Saturday is looking as busy as the last one from last year, I might give it a miss - One only has to say the words "five abreast going into the hairpin" and we look at our shoes and shake our heads...

hey would anyone be interested in a weekday track session at Taupo.
I know all the weekend sessions are booked but weekddays might not be too bad.

Yes. I think you tried to organise one before? As long as it's not too expensive - you need enough people to make it no more than $100 each. Preferably less than $60 though.

I'll be keen on the 26th March. Be good to get back on Puke again. There won't be any bails as these belong to AMCC and are only put out for bike meets. Also can't use them with cars as they get destroyed.

Does anyone know what changes have been made at puke i.e. which sections have been resealed and the quality of work??

I'm in for this too as long as I'm available - got a hectic schedule for the next two months. Taupo is dirt cheap to hire so you'd only need 11 people at $50 to cover. Charge an extra $10 and put on a BBQ too!!

Cher
Speaking of hiring Taupo we (me and a few reputable KB members ) are planning a date in March/April for around 20 or so people. Will post date and $$. Same Idea- a few KB's- a pickup with a bbq on the back. Will be mid week though- only time the track is available.

Wouldn't it make more sense for them to make it:
Bikes, Race Cars, Enthusiasts, Drifters and Asians? Safer for the bikes, and it's unlikely the bikes would wreck the track for the race cars.
