Taupo racetrack $3m in debt

[Bloody Mad Woman (BMW)]

Tis their own bloody fault, as has been said they have piss poor management, don't return calls or answer letters or emails. And Grumpy - what an asset NOT. The moment I saw him get out of HIS BIG TRUCK I thought oh shit here's trouble cos he was so god-damned fkn short, ducks disease big time and he literally had to step back and look up at me. Me tall, blonde and female just what those "short man with the attitude to match" love. He kept yapping at my heels so I had to bend down and say "Now calm down, just calm down" Very diplomatic of me really when what he deserved was a good right hook and told to shut the fk up. Jesus I would only have to have lifted my leg 2 inches off the ground to knee him in the groin. No-one I have spoken with has had a kind word to say about him.

Didn't hey just have a $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ A1-GP there how can it be in Debt ?

I haven't come across (or even heard about) a bad attitude towards motorcycles at taupo.

That's because you've only dealt with the trackday organisers themselves, not with racetrack management.

Of course the actual trackday companies are going to be focused on giving you a good riding experience. They have no direct affiliation with Taupo Motorsport Park; they just pay the fee and hire it for the day, thereby dealing with all the crap for you.

Golly...
Anyway, the track is effectively booked the whole time, so the problem is not PR, or short people - Its that it costs a shitload of money to build a track with modern facilities. Whats HD costing? twice Taupo? Start saving for track days.
The more tracks that stay in business the better I reckon. Particularly those that happen to be 2kms from my doorstep.

HD management have already published their track hire fees; they're cheaper than Taupo.

Doesnt look good for Taupo when HD starts then - if they cant make it now without a major competitior in the area...

[scrivy]

er.... the club tracks cheaper, but thats it......

....apart from when KB TD6 was abruptly rescheduled from its original date with about two weeks notice......

I'm certainly not keen on going to see the A1GP there again. Sure me and my mates got the cheap seat tickets, but we at least expected to get seats. Instead we had to sit on a dusty embankment and the wind was kicking all that dust up into everyone's eyes. Between races we'd have our heads tucked into our shirts since it was so bad. The dust also stuck to your sunblock so when you tried to reapply more it was like sandpaper. I ended up giving up and getting sunburnt.

He was an asset, all the dealings motoTT had with him were very good.

What has being short got to do with anything? How rude of you. Would you make such nasty comments about an over weight man (or woman), or a very tall person?

[Bloody Mad Woman (BMW)]

Yes I do. As a male you probably don't know or recognise the short man syndrome attitude. So I speak the truth and don't apologise for it. When I see a very tall man my friend is 6'10 - I commented on his height too. Why do you have a problem with that I don't oops you are probably short. I do have diplomacy around fat people tho. Unlike my ex who actually described one of his female friends as so fkg humungous and ugly - I'm not that rude. LOL

Nonsense. I've met quite a few guys with short-man syndrome, and Grumpy isn't one of them. If he wasn't nice to you, it would have been a straightforward response to *your* attitude....

oops you are probably short

Heh! You obviously haven't met me in person, have you?

I do have diplomacy around fat people tho. Unlike my ex who actually described one of his female friends as so fkg humungous and ugly - I'm not that rude. LOL

LOL!!! My dear woman, you do realise that I've seen photographs of you, don't you? Have you stood on any bathroom scales lately? No wonder you're sensitive about the particular topic of fat people.

I suggest you revise your attitude toward others. (And maybe take a few runs around the block.) Enough said.

Classic case of Big Girl Syndrome methinks

[COLOR="Red"]How much will Hampton Downs be to hire in comparison??

No Idea what the Taupo hire rates are but Hampton Downs rates are advertised here. They look fairly reasonable to me, but really I havent got a clue.
