    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.

    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.

    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?

    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....

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

    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.

    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.

    For the record Qkkid was in my bed, not the other way round
