Looks like a really fast track, I am sure the smaller cc bikes would really suffer. This will be my first year as my work schedule only allowed me 2 races out of 6 last year, this year I get 4 out of 6. Not looking to win just want to have fun. Good luck!This is my nearest track where I have been riding and racing the last 5 seasons. It's 2.57km long and has the longest back straight of any track in New Zealand.
My first two seasons I rode in the novice class on my road registered bikes (CBR250 &300) then in 2016 I did my first licenced season in Formula 3 on a GSXR400. Last year I switched to a Suzuki SV650 with good results, still in F3 and this weekend I kick off my fifth season on the same bike.
Great fun! recommend it. :grin:

Cheers. Yes it's a fast track, I'm hitting 210 kph at the end of the main straight, but it's still fun on a small bike.Looks like a really fast track, I am sure the smaller cc bikes would really suffer.

Man that thing accelerates quick! Holds its line real well too, no running wide powering out of corners. Must be a relatively short back straight huh as he was only hitting a bit over 150 MPH before braking. The Formula one guys at my local track are hitting around 175 MPH.This is Halley raceway here in a Oklahoma.

It’s a small and technical track. I’ve taken every one of my motorcycles here for the occasional track day. I find smaller CC bikes to be more fun on Hallet which is one of my reasons for picking up the 400.Man that thing accelerates quick!

Love it.
Any plans to take your 400 there??
Well if you fly over to the US...more specifically around Virginia/North Carolina area, you're welcome to borrow my bike for free!If I had a big lottery win I'd travel around some of these tracks you guys have over there and hire some sort of track bike to cut some sweet laps. Cant think of a better way to blow some winnings!
Likewise for me too for the middle of the States though. Several tracks within 4 hrs of my place. Anyone can hit me up if you'd like to visit the middle of nowhere. PM me and let's plan a track day or race day this year.......... Heartland Park Topeka is a short 27 minutes from my house, Hallett is 3.5 hrs, The new Ozark Track is 3.5 hrs and Motorsports Park Hastings is about the same (and is sbk1198 old stomping grounds) are not terrible drives from my place.Well if you fly over to the US...more specifically around Virginia/North Carolina area, you're welcome to borrow my bike for free!
