Does that include those that are paying on the day or only those who have pre-paid?

I would like to attend this but can't tell yet with work. So how do the Aucklander's go about it? You all go down on Thursday and spend the night or ride down early on Friday and back after the track sessions are all over?
How long does it take to ride down to the track from Auckland usually?

Takes between 3.5 & 4 hrs to travel down from Ak mate, so you'd have to get away by around 5am on Fri morning. Last time two of us trailered our bikes down to Towpoe on the Thurs night and stayed in a local motel, so we were fresh and early to the track Fri morning, worked a treat. This time three of us are planning to do the same thing, so that will mean a full trailer!

Thanks Zed, been talking to Gareth and the plan to to take our bikes down in a van on Thursday arvo and also spend the night in a motel there like you guys. I'm really looking forward to this, it should be a mint day. What happens if it rains or is the weather usually good around this time in Taupo?

"Q. Will the track day be held if it rains?

A. Yes unless the track is unrideable and the track day will then be rescheduled."

I'll have a chat to the others i'm going with and maybe we can get one of those rooms Gareth refers to to keep costs down, would be good to have some extra company on Thurs night. If it's raining i'm not gonna ride on the track, hence why I am registered on the pay-on-the-day list, so i can pull out at the last minute if the weather turns to crapola. Will probably travel down to Taupo either way unless a storm sets in the day before!
