Hey all.

Southern Skyline Enthusiasts members are converging on Invercargill on Sunday December the 9th (this Sunday - sorry for the late notice!), and it'd be great to have some Z's (or anything really) come along too. We've had a number of successful multi club meets with ClubSub, NZHondas and ToySpeed before.

For those that don't know much about the club, we are NOT flat peaker boy racer hoons who you normally see on the news acting like complete dropkicks. There could be a number of people over 30 (and maybe a couple over 50) heading down and none of them fit that stereotype. Those that do fit it come along to a meet, probably get bored since we don't do skids etc and we never see them again!

We won't tolerate anyone doing skids or anything though, as it's obviously not a good look - so those that do so will be asked to leave (i've only had to warn people about it a couple of times before, but they never came back to another meet after that, wonder why... ).

But yeah, hopefully some of you can make it along, there will be a few non Nissans there (a MK.III Supra and Celica from ToySpeed may be coming along) so just bring what you've got.

And maybe in Feb or March next year we could be doing a weekender, by meeting in Balclutha and taking the Southern Scenic Route to Invergiggle, and maybe participating in a track day at Teretonga on the Sunday if it coincides. But yeah, nothing concrete yet.

Well it was an awesome day.
Think we had about 12 cars all up (at the BK carpark anyway).

1x R34 Skyline 25 GT coupe (red)
1x R34 Skyline GT sedan (silver)
2x R33 Skyline GTS-25t coupes (purple and light blue)
1x R32 Skyline GTS-t coupe (light gunmetal)
1x R33 Skyline GTS-t sedan (black)
2x R32 Skyline GTS coupes (maroon and gunmetal)
1x 200ZX coupe (orange)
1x Toyota Supra (Mk.III) (red)
1x Toyota Celica GT-Four (?) (black)
1x Subaru Impreza WRX (silver)

After the photo shoot out near Teretonga we went to the go-karts, which was absolutely awesome. Totally annihilates the Dunedin track in terms of size, speed and fun. DEFINITELY going back, and the guy running it was actually a nice guy too, and didn't always seem grumpy like other places.

Anywho, seven of us raced and here are the results;

#01: 0:13.860 - SSE (Invercargill)
#02: 0:13.976 - ToySpeed (Invercargill)
#03: 0:14.149 - (me)/SSE (Dunedin)
#04: 0:14.340 - SSE (Invercargill)
#05: 0:14.370 - SSE (Invercargill)
#06: 0:14.519 - SSE (Dunedin)
#07: 0:15.168 - SSE (Dunedin)

Will be going back at some stage next year.

/end.

Until next time (when more Dunedinites wil hopefully make it)...

A member also suggested a Queenstown meet again one day too (since he couldn't make the Invers one in his 350GT). First time we held it (2003/2004?) we got seven or so cars, the second time we got one car (me). So if we can do about as good as the first time i'll be happy.
