    What would get you to watch local or national Superbike racing?

    The promoter of the New Zealand Superbike series round 1 at Ruapuna on the first weekend of Jan is looking to make there round the biggest and best that we have seen in NZ.

    His main goal is to improve more of the experience for the crowd rather then make the racing better.

    What would get you and your family to the track?

    Lower gate prices, decent food, something for the kids to do (besides watch racing...), clean toilets

    What she said.

    These days I barely get time or money to go watch racing. So pretty much limited to Paeroa.

    But if you dropped the price and told the world via free advertising I could get a bunch of mates to convince the misses that I should be allowed to go watch.

    Low (free) entry, decent (read NOT grease on a stick) and something interesting for those who aren't watching the bikes to do.

    A loudspeaker system that doesn't sound like shouting down ten tunnels at once? Then maybe a real commentator to use it? I'm pretty sure we've had this thread before.

    Thankfully, some common fucking sense in this thread.

    Double the gate entry costs, and offer HOT naked chicks serving hotdogs and cold Steinlagers.

    None of that does anything for me, don't like Steinlager, greasy hot dogs , and naked women...why would I want to pay double what is reasonable for that?

    Thumbs up Decent Commentary

    A good commentary and Pa, been to events where we had no idea what was going on. As in no PA at all.
    Like to se interviews with riders on grid before main events.

    No stop for lunch, that is really a drag.Please I know people work hard but can't we drop lunch off to them.

    Stunt riding between races.

    Having people like Crosby,Slight etc there. Parade laps type thing.

    Stuff for kids.

    Excellent thread Chop.

    We too (AMCC) are working along the same lines, aiming to make round 4 Hampton Downs appeal to far more than just the racers and are in the early planning stages already 5 months out from the event.
    Entertainment for the children, trade stands, food stalls a band, fire works and a huge BBQ to name some of the things being arranged. The plan is to appeal to mum, dad and the children.

    We need to make these events appeal to a far wider sector of people than we have been, the simple adage that a lower entry price will be offset by higher numbers through the gate makes perfect sense.

    Looking forward to see some good ideas we can look into putting into practise.
