NZ road racing in serious trouble

[FROSTY:Me]

Then ask yourself - why did people come to THESE events and can it be replicated???

Sorry if Im droneing on But I asked EXACTLY that question 18 months ago.

I think one major problem from the point of view of attracting spectators is that we are asking the WRONG people.
The first lot of people to ask are the Joe Bloggs ROAD riders. The ones who MAYBEE go to a street meet or two or maybee don't bother.
YET youll find em in Hamilton watching the V8's today.
Once youve got the attention of a basicly receptive group then maybee the petrolheads might be convinced.

Have a look at this thread.

Some of the answers are so basic that i just don't understand why it wasn't taken on board.

Yeh, that's sorta what I'm trying to say.... we need to get the bikers there first, before we have a hope in hell of getting joe public there. Read frosty's thread, it has lotsa info of what the non-racers want.
What the racers want may make it better for them, and maybe attract more racers to race, but that's not what this thread is about is it?
