Hampton Downs Trackday Dates?

[prettybillie]

Not for friggin me it aint ! haha yuck ! Will do the odd race there but even the price of a meeting will go up i'd say !

Yeah this is a good point. They have the track hirage fees on the website and they are pretty much double what you hire Puke or Taupo for.

I love the Taupo track, patches and all , but the layout and elevation changes and fresh, smooth tar seal makes Hampton Downs a must do in my book. I reckon $200 is reasonable. And I aim to be one of the first to ride it!


I can't believe you jaffa's are complaining!!!

Yeah I reckon there will be heaps of entries though (initially at least) cos everyone will be keen as to have a crack so this my offset the price a bit. The Nationals round there has been shaved from 3 to 2 days also, I assume to keep the entry cost down a bit.

There isn't much difference at all between the Taupo full track hire and the HD full track hire... Certainly not double.

I really want to see racing there so I hope the bike clubs get their shit sorted and find a way to get their hands on the cash without screwing the racers so we can watch it there.

Yeah it'll be interesting once the novalty on a new track wears off to see if people are still happy to pay the huge prices.

$200 for a new 3.8km 9 corner track sounds like a reasonable fee to me.

It will cost me less to ride there than to go to the south island tracks for some nice flowing corners!

I just wished I lived closer to it.

If the track is as good everyone is saying it's gunna be then hopefully the novelty doesn't wear off

Thats right. As been discussed before we dont know how lucky we are to have such cheap track days. Plus HD Ride Days will have a few little extra's to add to the value.

Looking forward to it.

Yep sameish, maybe not one of the first but I'm gonna do it early as I can

Trackdays here are cheap (compared to the UK, which is all I have to compare it too).
How is it that no-one complains about spending $500-$600 on a set of tyres but $200 for a trackday is HUGE amount of money?
I hope HD is as good to ride as it looks like its gonna be. I think its fantastic to have a world class track on the doorstep of Auckland at last and $200 is totally reasonable, I can't wait. And good for AMCC - holding their National round there, surely thats giving people what they want.

[cowboyz]

tracktime will be the decider for me. For $200 I will want the sessions promised and will want 5x 20mins min...

None of this limit to 120 plus mates of mates till we have 200 riders there.
