That is one sick track.... I have a new favourite!

[predator]

I was there on Monday ;D ;D ;D

It is awesome! The inside hairpin is so demanding. Just about every corner has to be taken a lot later than you'd think.

My fuel bill was insane for the day - 60 litres and I did 223kms (getting there and back plus racing around)

I recommend it to anyone

We live less than ten minutes from Hampton Downs ;D

I went to Hampton Downs last Saturday (7-11-09) for a motorcycle rider training day, organised by the Hamilton Motorcycle Club. I took my bike and had a blast. It was amazing to get onto the circuit that we've watched emerge from a bare paddock over the last four years. It was potentially an expensive day out though - it's left me with a firmish plan to build a trackday bike . . . . .

impreza at the beginning, legacy at the end

[pl0x]
