    WSB back in NZ?

    I read in another forum that WSB is coming back to NZ early next year to be run in tandem with the V8's.Probably after the Phillip Island round in Feburary at the Hampton Downs circut.Anyone confirm?I'd like to start planning a trip up there if it's true.
    TIA.

    I wish this were true, but I think it's nothing but hot air from what I've heard.

    I will happily be proved wrong though!

    Apparently it's been confirmed for 3 years from 2010.Can't find SFA info!

    If Feb/March is the date,dose'nt leave much time to organise/promote a World type sports event!

    Thanx mate,but I thought Hampton Downs was in Auckland?And the last time we had WSB was in 1990 at Manfield not 1992 as that article states?

    I may be wrong on both counts though...

    Before you judge a man, walk a mile in his shoes. After that, who cares? ...He's a mile away and you've got his shoes

    Lmao!Seems I am wrong on both counts...almost...Hampton Downs,North Waikato & South Auckland gives me half a point lol!

    1990 was wrong,that's the round I attended,not the last time we hosted.

    Ah well,shit happens!

    My google brain was on standby...

    Hampton Downs is just as close to Auckland as it is to Hamilton. It is still in the Waikato.

    And 1992 Manfield:

    Yeah mate,I know it's around 6 months away but I'd like some kind of confirmation of dates so I can get some stuff sorted.

    Am heading to Oz in December for 2 weeks and just wanna know if I should spend as much as I've budgeted for or keep a bit in the bank.

    My understanding is that the 2010 application to Dorna has been removed and they are re-applying for the 2011 series as it is too close to get everything ready in time for 2010. They want everything right and not rushed.
    They will be pushing to have the event at Hampton Downs the week after it is held at Phillip Island which is traditionally in early March.
    Every motorcycle handles perfectly. Then the rider gets on.

    Couple of years ago i was talking to someone who races bikes and he said Hampton Downs would never get built. People have no faith these days
