Im sure it wont matter to you Australians too much but what a shame for us New Zealanders to lose the pukekohoe round of the V8s. I blame our governement bout for that! :ranting:

what do you guys reckon? did you think that the pukekohoe circuit should have stayed, or moved to wellington or auckland or should have gone.

Go murph! You Legend! :yeah:

Seems a lot of politics behind the scenes has stuffed up puke ...I thought you were getting the venue changed to somewhere else over there next year?
Murph saved our arse last Bathurst and he has proven he is capable not just in hrt or kmart cars.

I'm not worried 'bout Pukekohe. It's a good circuit but I'm eagerly looking forward to the Wellington (or was it Auckland???) street race in 2007 (or 2008?). I DO know it's been confirmed... :D

I would have to say i enjoyed watching pukekohoe from the comfort of my own home however the track is damn short and the problems with flooding last year i'm not surprised they didn't renew the contract.

Last i heard the politicians denied the Auckland road circuit because they did not want to shut down the city for a weekend. They have done it before so whats the problem. It looked like a good exciting circuit too, bring back memories of Canberra.

I just hope that leaving NZ does not give them a reason to go to the middle east like they were talking about before. Keep the sport in Australia. I don't mind it going to NZ but thats the limit.

Pity Manfield couldnt make it, nor Ruapuna. AVESCO wanted two rounds in NZ and the local bodies stuffed about and gave them a big F.U. :b:

Shame, Im glad I made it to Puke when I did. As comfy as my lounge is, nothing beats the noise from the start and seeing the promo chicks flesh in the flesh..... :yeah:
