Very disappointed with attendance of Enduro at Pukekohe

[Racey Rider]

Reading the word 'Enduro', made me automaticaly think 'Dirt bikes' for some reason. Only after reading what the rant was about did I click it was road racing.
Just a thought for future marketing.

I fixed that by hooking up with an incredible young lady that was competing at all those events completely independently of me. Makes life easy, and saves gas.
I highly reccomend it

hang on ill run it by my missus..............

[White trash]

Except for the fact that im nearly divorced cos i have been at bike related events every weekend since december 26, 08..

Helll Yeahhhhh i got beers... come and bring the whanau"

Nahhh, that wont work. Sue's got the friggen car at Puke'. With the car seat in it

[Devil]

Hrm, didn't know about it.

Their advertising sucks.

[Kiwi Graham:Me]

Helps to advertise eh!
Oh by the way its an endurance event not an enduro event. Different bikes different surface etc.
Better advised to direct the grief at the people resposible than racers.

[sinfull]

Instead of havin a fuckin rant at us, maybe AMCC or MNZ need to look in house.
As a licenced competitor with equipment suitable for such an event & an ex endurance racer, one would think that maybe they might have mailed out entry forms to possible participants.
.

I take it then that it is a new event, that yes, should have been pushed, promoted, advertised to turn it into an "event" through the MNZ mail list perhaps !
Rather than mmm from memory one thread i read about it on here,
Which by chance was started by Sloan !

Not that i would have travelled up for it, shit i can hardly manage 6 laps let alone an endurance race ! i'm just bored and having an enduro of my own "how long i can mope around cause of the lack of events that happen down this end of the country"

The average competitor would need at least 10 weeks advance notice for such an event. There is the matter of tyres, pit crew, sponsors, equipment, fitness, date clashes, bike prep, cashflow, etc etc etc.

Mmmm and only after seeing your post, did i read it ! Yeah bit of a slip up there with the word enduro (had seen that) but then it wasn't up to Kittytamer to advertise it at all either, good on him for even putting something up about it ! But i'd say alot of road racers wouldn't have gone any further !

But after reading the format, i will retract what i said in an earlier post and say that if i had of known it was more than just an endurance race (as i thought by reading the one and only thread posted on here about it)
I would have prolly attended that bloody meeting, would have been fun to do a two dayer up there ! Be even more fun if i had an F2 as well as the speed three !

Hope this dissaster helps keep more people out of hospital and wheel chairs

Pukekohe is dam DANGEROUS for a closed track


NOTHING AGAINST THE AMCC WITH THIS STATEMENT

Pit crew - your are the crew bob,
Sponsors - WTF??? who, what?,
Equipment - you bragging again??,
Fitness - drinking 'Ken' does not make you fit Bob... how many times......,
Date clashes - Ok, we all know you're a sick puppy....., hee hee....,
Bike prep - are you serious - YOU???? Mr unpreparation....,
Cashflow - Well, she is moving in with you now....... save on phone sex.....

[smoky]

Are you retarded mate? Do you think I would put something on here if it was a car meeting?? It's at Pukekohe held by AMCC as mentioned in first post so of course it is motorcycle road racing. And it is under the "Racing" threads so it is clearly addressed to its target audience.

So the people who race or follow the AMCC; are 'All people in the racing fraternity'?
Your obviously not sharp enough understand what I was saying - never mind - as you were.

I’ve never even heard of Enduro at Puke as a form of racing (that’s why looked at the thread – thought I might learn something) ?

[cowpoos]

So I went to day one of the AMCC Endurance race meeting at Pukekohe today. There were hardly any bikes there, I counted 12 spectators.
There are four bikes entered in Formula Auckland....one of them cross entered from Formula 2.
Formula 2 has 3 bikes entered.
What the hell is going on?? Why is no one interested in doing this??
Chris Costello said that the club was asked to put on an endurance event so they have and now no one has supported it.
I am very dissapointed in the racing fraternity for not showing up to this event, its disgusting, you guys (and girls) should be ashamed of yourselves. AMCC has lost a lot of money this weekend because YOU guys asked them to put on an event like this. Needless to say it is the last one.
Enjoy your weekend.

I think AMCC need to talk to the other main road race clubs in NZ that get massive, massive rider turnout!!

Because its quite obvious that something just ain't right....especially as auckland has the highest population base in NZ.

Just out of interest...are you still charging spectator at the gates?

and the taupo road race endurance event was a sucsess...maybe you should as Scrivy how he and his crew does it??

Poos, Jos Mason from B.A.D.D. is making this event a huge one this year!
Stay tuned!!

They do it by actually "organizing" themselves and understanding what competitors/spectators want.

I went to Puke yesterday and was talking to the racers all of whom had little positive remarks to make about AMCC. One guy in paticular who I won't identify had his times screwed up for the second AMCC run event in a row and ended up further back on the grid of clubmans than he should have. Its bullshit like this that keeps me from signing up for AMCC races and I would imagine I'm not the only one. Finaly racers are sick of putting up with crap and are now just not supporting AMCC run events. I for one am saving my hard earned dollars for the VMCC winter series...I'm looking forward to seeing how they run their club races in comparison.

Oh and Toot_toot...I never asked for the endurance race to be put on so you whining at me about not showing up is a waste of time. instead of abusing those whom you wish to entice into entering races, why not "listen" to why racers didn't support it.
