Yeah, banning it does move it around. There's a whole manner of laws being broken there, such as unsociable behaviour, large gathering without permits on top of all the traffic violations.
Te Rapa Road in Hamilton is the same. You drive up there after dark and it's like being in the film 'The Fast and the Furious' - heavily modded Japanese cars in every available gap possible!
As it seems this problem wont go away, instead of just moving them around, why dont they actually provide an area, away from anyone and anything, where they can hoon around in their cars as much as they want? Sure, it'll cost a bit to lay out some tracks, but the savings the other side in Police time, Fire Service etc would outweight it in the end. Just get some Police to monitor it now and again for drink & drugs etc, and everyones happy.
Other than that, as KH says, get up there with 50 cops and a load of towies and start taking cars off people.
