Only a month away, just finalising details with MotorSport NZ then will post up cost.

Please note this event date has been moved to Saturday 15th March, as we were not able to get one of our Zclub Clerk of the Course for the Sunday.

Rest of details still pending.

So 1k views, and no entrants yet. Anyone? All the MotorSport paperwork is done, it's only $10 for members and $15 for non-members, cheap way to get to know your car even better.

I was keen but am on a camp with Tommy so I'm out.

Sounds like your Fairlady isn't being very fair at the moment, trying to keep you from events.

Earth to Zedders! Anyone keen?

If we don't get a decent number of Zedders for this event, we'll cancel this and have a brunch or lunch instead. I do have to notify MotorSport NZ of cancellation of the event, so speak now.

Just looking for some feedback as to why no one bar one person has registered to motokhana? Do you prefer the sealed surface motokhana's? If so the cost to run that type of event is higher due to the venues we have to hire.

Keen to come down and watch as my car is a bit low to enter. Will even pay $10 entry fee if you don't get numbers to ensure others don't miss out . Would prefer sealed surface event for my car. Cheers, Waide.

My Z is being very unfair at the moment, stupid thing. Its going again now (after a SUBSTANTIAL cash sacrifice again) but its not 100% currently. I'd have been keen to try the grass as a comparison to the tarmac one we did last year but family commitments has kept me away. Had we not been at camp, wild horses wouldn't have kept Tommy and I from rocking up, although a shortage of horses(power) may have dictated the use of my work car!

Lets all put in $50 and buy a paddock basher to thrash!

I did this once in my Z and it was a lot of fun but I am getting too precious to take my Z out in the field.
