    I'm going. Giving a few hints and tips to some first timers (thought I'd retired!) long range forcast is looking good

    Hi I went to the AMCC day at Puke on the weekend do these guys put all the crash bags out for our saftey on the day cause the AMCC did and someone said they were the only ones to put the saftey bags out.

    I can't believe that would be right??????????????????????

    Not sure about Kiwitrackdays but they dont have them out for the Test days and it kinda makes you wary on a couple of the corners but hey how much trouble can you get into at 35kph.

    Back in Jan when I tried to get insurance for Redline at Puke I got a call from Dave at Kiwibike saying they wouldn't cover the day because the crash bags weren't being put out.

    He's just approved this Saturday so I guess that means one of two things
    - There will be crash bags
    - The insurance cares less about me than they did a couple of months ago.

    From what I saw at Taupo Kiwitrackdays is pretty safety conscious. They were urging caution on cold tyres and had coned off some of the repairs as they deemed them too slippery.

    Go here http://www.kiwitrackdays.co.nz/ and ask them

    Even a track like Puke is safer than riding on the road.

    I'll have to ask the question I just thought that people that had been before might be able to let me know.

    I'm a bit worried about the weather does anyone know if you can sign up on the day.

    Wot sky-hi says but.... You are going to learn just as much if its a wet track as you would on a dry one. Long range forcast is ok.

    Crash bags limit the impact into the wall the problem with crashing is normally the stop that hurts/kills people.

    Not to sure I'm keen to go out on the track with out all the saftey precautions out, bit like riding with out all the saftey gear on!!!!!!!!!
