Ride days at Hampton Downs?

[DidJit]

... The market here is small and anything which deters that small group from riding (such as bad weather, RWC or economic gloom) will hit HDRD harder than its counterparts in Aussie...

Nail, head.

I also think that $184/$200 is not unreasonable. Wasn't there the option of a half day for a hundy if you rocked up on the day and there was space available?

In any case, I really hope CSS/HDRD are able to continue in one form or another.

I ran my R90 classic racer at Puke and HD over the last two weekends....( first racing ever) was awesome at both....got pinged on what I thought were racing leathers....zip together zips on the liner....opps.
Puke charge $90 for a test day....... I took my just finished BMW there a few weeks back....although it seemed more like a track day going on around me.
I'd not have a problem with $200.00

On the contrary. HD is situated up to an hour from a population base of almost 2 million people. It couldn't be in a better location.

The plan is actually to turn HD into its own little town, so facilities should get better over time.

Like they are going to complete the track. I wont hold my breath.

I guess I am an optimistic chap.
I think that they will extend the track.
Possibly after securing a round of the Aussie V8's.
The place will grow, and it will take time.
Given they started the venture and not long after the world economy took a dive, I am happy there is circuit there at all.
I hope people will attend the Nationals there this year.

Guess I'm just a pessimist.

[vinducati]

You can't be a pessimist and ride a something that only has two wheels.
I mean it shouldn't really work should it?

Don't believe everything you read.

[frogfeaturesFZR]

I'm happy to pay $200 for a day. Hell, it's cheaper than drinking :laugh

[vinducati]

Yeah but when you drink AND race bikes, that's when it gets expensive

[jellywrestler]

I wonder if they will ever run the circuit anti clockwise like it was designed to do ?

do you believe all the shit you hear on the net?

Of course I do.... you mean its not True !!!

[Biggles08]

Of course I do.... you mean its not True !!!

Nope...only whats on KB.

[FROSTY:Me]

hey Im sorry to laugh guys but waay back when we ran the first KB trackdays people were moaning about paying $60 for the day as being a "rip off'. When Taupo finished the full track once again there were those that complained that $100 for the day was too expensive.
Now a trackday is $200 . and still the same sorta people complaining the price is too high.
To be honest I'd be worried if there wasn't someone moaning about the price
