    Sorry I meant Kart tracks

    Apparently Hamilton & Nelson are good tracks too.


    Take too long to list all the non kart tracks I’ve raced on.

    Oh okay, here’s a start.
    Ohakea Tarmac, Ohakea streets, Ohakea hanger end, Ohakea far far end, Wigram, Burnham, Ohakune, Foxton, wgtn waterfront, slipway, road cct upper hutt, road cct fielding, road cct Palmy, gracefield carpark, Maidstone carpark, Foodtown carpark Palmy, general motors, Taupo old & new extn, Ruapuna B, Mainfield short, Manfield extension,

    Heck there’s probably ˝ dozen more.

    [edit] Palmerston gardens, Longburn,.

    Argh look what you’ve started!

    Grenada, Rebel Palmerston





    none have had as cool clubhouse, Having a beer in their awesome club rooms after, sun on the deck. What a top set up.
    Don't you look at my accountant.
    He's the only one I've got.

    Not trying to piss on Auck, I’ve won some races I’ve been proud of there, done 4x 2hrs & ˝ doz GPs so I know it wellish now, but an illustration that youse guys should travel if you want to experience some good tracks.
    Ha Ha no offence taken I now I would rather race on Taupo and that Tamranui track looks cool (let you know tuesday ) But Mt Wellington is close and sealed with all the right bits to make it a good track just realy tight (if you can race there you can race anywhere)
    I must say the biger faster tracks feal safer to me
    more room for people to get around me ( rolling road block)

    CRIKEY!!! I was only just starting to adjust to the layout clockwise.

    Hard work but you get balanced sore spots on both sides of your body as you get to go around corners that go both ways!

    Big thanks to you Nudey for getting us there and the cart peeps were all really friendly and interested. The dude on the gate was a sweetie had a good chat to him at the end of the day.

    I reckon the fiddy needs some more nylon so Sully and I can get out there - though I apologise in advance for being a back marker at least it gives fast buggers like you something to go round Dave

    Bring on the next time!!!! Think we will get ourselves a babysitter next time - then we can both relax and enjoy without fear of Sully one getting into any trouble...though didn't he do well? we were very proud of him and the way he coped over the very long day Our boy is getting so growed up

    OH yeah racing in my new boots ROCKED!!! AND I added a scrape to my virginal toe sliders

    He did very well your young man.
    And I have some photographic evidence of your toe scraping that I'll post up soon.

    You were all passing reall nice and luckily I have enough nouse now that I don't panic when you fullas pop up on the inside the way you guys do mid corner and can just adjust my line.

    It was great fun and I loved that track!!! Sully deserves a medal for working on the bike to get it to go and nyloning it to make it nice and 'legal' just to stand around all day while I had all the fun.

    BUT man it woulda been nice if he hadn't gone and proved how much faster the bike is with a capable rider on it

    Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?

    I can't believe I missed this chance on the track. How could I have found out about it? I have missed a couple of days at the slipway but will be there with the bells on this weekend.
