I couldn't find much info about the combined test day and classic meeting being held on Sunday so I emailed and got this response - FYI

You may enter on the day – the fee will be $175.00 as opposed to $155.00 for pre-enter. If you want to pre-enter you can scan the entry form and email it to me at this email address or fax the entry to AMCC 09-579-3106. Either way please bring the original to the meeting on Sunday.

The purpose of the meeting is three-fold. As Hampton Downs is new to most people, it is a test day for the officials of the Auckland Motorcycle Club going into the NZ Superbike Champs at the end of the month; as well as a round of the No 1 Plate competition for the Post Classic classes and an opportunity for those competitors wanting to familiarised and test setups for Hampton Downs.

The programme is not set in concrete as yet but thoughts are that there will be practice sessions for all classes followed by Post Classic races separated by test sessions (10-15 mins.) for the Championship classes.

We plan to start sign-on at 7:30am and start the first practice at 9am and we will probably go through till 5.30pm to 6pm

What pit facilities are available up there? I have obviously never been. Are power points plentiful? or is a generator advisable. Is there heaps of room for putting up tents etc?

It is VERY basic and there is no power available Maido. You need a generator and as far as pit space goes it somewhat limited if you want to be where you don't have to drive over course gravel to get to the track. As was stated at the open track day last Monday, it is still a construction site and you need to treat it as such. Apart from that, the track itself is awesome and a lot of fun :-)

Just had an email back from Lynette confirming it is $80 for the friday and the sessions run between 1pm until 6pm. I'm guessing you just register on the day.
