For some guys/gals itll be a first track experience so I dont want em intimidated by the really fast guys.
The amount of track time will depend on how many turn up but Im sure there will be plenty for everyone.

Thats cool man, i just wouldnt like to show up to find 60 riders there is all.

Im guessing you will need confirmation for at least 20 riders then?

whats the payment scheme if we want in?

The slow/fast group idea is great. I'm keen to get out on the track for the first time, so this would be great for people like me. As for date as long as im given a couple weeks notice any time is fine (one of the joys of having a boss who is into bikes).

**6Chris6** · 7th March 2005, 05:42

C'mon VOTE

Surely we can get at least 20 :spudwhat:

**FzerozeroT** · 7th March 2005, 07:20

Hmmm, are the voters non-viewable? When do you NEED to know about this frosty (apart from ASAP) because I'm sure a lot of us know non-KBers that wouldn't mind coming along, another idea to help out with revenue is we could all have a lunch break and then have 2 $10 30min sessions for punters who just want a quick go i.e. KBers who might come from New Plymouth, Napier or even Welly for a day trip

Well mr devious funny ya should say that first of all there will be NO entry on the day. So the deal is a $20 deposit each -non refundable.
Im gonna have to find out how many guys there are going to be in each group Its not so much a problem with total number as number on the track at any one time.

**JohnBoy** · 7th March 2005, 09:16

would be keen for the sunday.

i will try and get a few KB's ex welly to pop up, as with those low numbers i am sure tat they would be keen for a blast.

**Two Smoker** · 7th March 2005, 15:40

Will talk to MR, but im bloody keen for a Sunday....

**Hoon** · 7th March 2005, 16:10

Dude, why would you ride over for the day and not want a punt around the track, one of the best ways to learn what your bike is capable of. Go on put your name down for sunday.

LEt me know as we could ride over together.

Despite his claims that he would have one standing by. I guess it might have been, yeah right, in the ambo shed in town!

Hey Frosty, does that fancy poll thingy tell you who voted? Anyway, I'm in for the Sunday OK?

Some dudes just expect everyone else to do it for them! Maybe justsomeguy you should have justsomeotherguy do it for you, virtual-reality-like,and wearing a head cam. Then you can sit at home with your joystick! Come on!

Well if you can have it done for you........ then why bother wasting your energy Mr Wizard???

See you there... if you're showing up

**justsomeguy** · 7th March 2005, 20:16

Naaah......... I'm a complete newbie to these things so it;s all a learning experience for me.......... so excuse the stupid questions will ya........

Another stupid question:

Could someone please show me how to give my bike a once over before I get it on the track???

Someone who's good at teaching dumb people

**FROSTY:Me** · 7th March 2005, 20:27

Ok you lot an idea of costs
Im aiming at $50 per person for track hire. lets just go with that figure for now untill I get firm numbers.
petrol usually costs me about $40 for the day.
If ya stay the nite costs vary a bit but at camellia court it costs $175 for a big room for the nite -Thattll hold 2 couples and 3 singles so divvying costs up evenly itd be about $25 each so roughly itll cost 115 for costs if ya stay the nite.

Im counting at this stage on sunday SOOOO
I Now want pm's/ calls from definites
Im limiting this to 45 riders not including the marshalls etc.
It will be a case of first come first served.
Marshals and other helpers will get 2 track sessions on their own for free
There will be a lunch break so those worried about running outa gas can head off and gas up.

Well i voted for sunday, but anyday suits me really, but put me down as a definite Tony, just gotta be back in akld in time for the first round of the MotoGP
