    With all that clay, you might be needing some pretty agressive knobblies too, I be thinking.

    Was just reading the latest KR mag in the reading room as you do.

    On page 80 they are still advertising Monday 8 June as the first ride day (and yes they do have the year too)

    I'm quite interested so have just emailed them to find out.

    I must say, I feel a bit pissed at the marketing chick who keeps emailing to see if I still want to pay my bucks for the 'first' day. The way she's going on suggests they're just sweeping the last bits of shit of the sealed surface.

    It all smells like an outfit either going broke or gone broke and hiding the fact like some sleazy finance company advertising for investors so they can use the new money to pay the existing investor's interest.
    Only 'Now' exists in reality.

    Guys, please dont forget that the track management and the people running the ride days/superbike school are unrelated companies.
    Hampton Downs Ride Days (HDRD) can only work off the information provided to them by the track management.
    September is WAY out of the ballpark of dates HDRD have been given so I have no idea who you spoke to.
    The people behind HDRD are genuine and are as excited as everyone else about having this track up and running, but frustrated too at the delays regarding the track. Unfortunately if the weather doesn't play ball, nothing happens.

    I rekon we should all just use our bikes more. That way there'll be more global warming, and next thing ya know the weather will be sweet all through winter.
