Re: Christchurch Trackdays - Next Event Saturday 13th Septem

Hi Guys

Just a reminder this is the final week for the reduced pricing of $90 , after the 17th its $120.

Although with the current rate of entry's if you wish to get in id do it asap , as its likely to fill up before the week is out.

Enter here - http://blairthorpe.wix.com/trackdays#!entry-form/c24vq

If you find the link dead then entry's are full.
