Aaw that's a pity. Look forward to seeing some good pics then.

Have altered your registration to a $13 spectator lunch, is that right? If yes, can you pop the funds into the clubs account tonight please, if you haven't already.

My thanks to all the drivers on Saturday, one of the easiest pits I have managed. You all helped make a great event. I feel the committe got the combination of timing and flow down to perfection. Thanks to Luke for the new timing system the girls were full of praise in regards to using it. Great to have these sort of talants in the club. Also to the Marshall's who indured the heat for the day.

Yes, a great big thank you to all those involved in making this happen. From a drivers perspective it ran like a charm, only pity is that there weren't more drivers there - start planning for next year now for those of you who didn't make it this year as it is a great event both on the track and socially.

Ouch, did you manage to miss kissing the wall?

Good day guys - well done to all of those who make these things reality. Was just a spectator but was great to meet a few of you and see some cool cars and track action

Has spurred me on to crack on with my own project as it's been far too many years since I've been round that track in a Zed!

Cheers,
Duncan

I would like to thank everyone who made this day possible.
My first time on a track and I felt very safe, everyone was super friendly and with lots of advice and knowledge (thanks Mike and Shad for coming having a look at my car and fixing my boost leak problem in a minute).
I can't wait to go again... Hopefully there will be other events this year as well organised.
Thanks all!!!

The Taupo committee's reward is seeing that you all had such a good time.

Once again the club spirit strikes again, someone helping out to get a problem sorted.

The next motorsport event will be next month, the grass Motokhana. Just sorting out details for that.
