    Unhappy No Controlled Testing at Puke 01/03/08

    Hi,

    I've been talking to some other racers who we're going to head up this saturday (01 March 08) for some track time b4 the national round next weekend.

    Please be aware this was mistakenly advertised on the website as open to anyone, they have now changed it to cars only who are entered for sundays racing...see link below. I spoke to the race track organisers yesterday and they have confirmed this.

    Dunno to be honest. If you ring up someone from amcc you might be able to find out. But I'm pretty sure if you pay your money there is no problem in riding?

    The only reason I only ride in the Iron man Class is I have no friends left to enter the two man events,
    my own fault really.

    Is this the beginning of the end for Puke and bikes. God I hope so...

    pukie is a good fun track to ride, but has its draw backs i.e lack of safety measures and relatively poor facilities. I'm not sure what the hampton downs track will be like but the new trend for tracks seems to be slower speed (less fun for me)

    I'd be happy to see Puke gone as well so long as Hampton downs isn't a lot more expensive to use, and if they want the events there they'd be silly to make it much more expensive than other NI tracks or the events would go elsewhere

    I'd be happy to have Taupo as a National round quite simply as it's a few hours less travel than Puke and it's a more interesting track
