I had a good time there, apart from on my last lap of the day on the cool down lap on the second to last corner my clutch died and had to get the car towed home, but it was worth it.

I like the track but not sure if after a few outings there it will start to get a little boring as it it is not actually that many turns on the short track. Still i like the blind corners and height changes.


Some bad lines as this was an early vid but heres the only one that i managed to get incar.

*Ring ring*

Yeah, Hi, Pukekohe..... Look, its just not working out between us...

No no no, its not you, its me......

No! Of course its not somebody else... Ok, ok. I can't lie. I'm sorry, but you just don't have what it takes to compete with Hampton Downs..

HEY! DON'T YELL AT ME!! HEY. HEEY........ LOOK! I'M SORRY..... We had some fun times didn't we??

God, I don't know how many times I can say I'M SORRY. I know, I'm an asshole, I admit it, but I just can't be happy with you anymore. And do you really want to be in something so one sided?

Look, I know you don't want to hear it now, but there will be someone ELSE for you one day, someone who will be better than me, I promise.

Ok, bye.

Looks awesome, my girlfriend just got confirmation that she's going to a free motorbike track day held by Honda on the 6th December. Aaron Slight will be there, we are taking the camera, I cant wait

I was there Tuesday with the AW and had an "O" for oarsome day!! Got in 170km of tracktime and think I've worn out my front tires. The elevation changes are great as are the three blind corners - especially the one off the front straight which is the fastest part of the track. The surface is very smooth and about the only bump I found was at the top of the hill onto the pit straight in the middle - right or left and you missed it. Was short shifting into third the right/left after the pit exit to settle the car as it wasn't nice changing halfway through the left hander. Braking into the lefthand hairpin was a bit of a guess as that was the second blind corner. The sweeper onto the front straight is just so wide that it's hard to to know where to go - you'd probably get 5 or 6 cars side by side there and the corner off the end of the front straight is the same.

Playday have booked another day on 7 December $140 if anyone is interested.
See ya
