We had a hold up with MotorSport NZ confirming details for us, which has now finally happened, so the registration will be activated shortly.

Roll up, roll up folks! It's a fantastic weekend of track time, and socialising, dinners out and catching up with your Z friends, and new Z friends.

Good one Tim, pretty sure that means, complimentaries at the close of play and free lunch, not sure if our registration takes account of that but thanks, we have had willing timing volunteers as well, good to have these tasks snapped up.

It would be hard to find better value for money than the zed club track day, we have fought hard to help keep the price affordable, I for one will be using it for testing, revised induction setup and will try out a shorter diff ratio. Can't wait!!!

That and the abundance of like minded people Andy - as opposed to some of the "open" track days I've been to, the Z Club one is a pleasure to share the track with enthusiasts rather than kids with a spare $150 and no brains!!

Last track day I went to at HD I had a guy pass me on the offside when I'd yielded the line to a much faster rally set up car - he was trying to pass us both at the same time and was in my blind spot!

Hi, Roslyn is available to help out with timing this year.

bernjean · Post by **bernjean** » Tue Jan 07, 2014 8:52 am

That would be great, have a couple of girls already but a back up would be nice. Many thanks

Folks, if you're planning to join us for the lunch at the track, please also register above for the lunch. $13 a head for lunch for non-trackers, unless you'd like to help marshal at the event, then lunch is free.

Just a wee taster of one of the prizes for trackday kindly donated by Buildlink and Foray Motorsport, we' re a wee bit inclined to present this as a wildcard prize so could go to anyone including track day helpers. This is a 15amp Ctek smart charger with a rrp of $440, go here http://www.cteknz.co.nz/CTEKBatteryChar ... fault.aspx and scroll down to the MXS 15. These are very well thought out and manufactured chargers and essential for any type of automotive battery. Excellent for trickling batteries of cars in occasional use or reconditioning older batteries. Not a bad return on your entry if you land it as a prize on track day.
