Autocross Sunday 29 October, Levin -Pictures up

Usual story ... a day of merriment and mayhem in the paddock. All welcome, except people who drive like dorks when they leave.

Harbour Capital Car Club invites you to come play in the paddock.

October 29th


Donnelly Park, Levin

Directions: Left at second set of traffic lights in Levin, then keep on keeping on until the road narrows dramatically, and you see Adkin Ave in your left (also huge Donnelly Park sign). Donnelly park is on the right hand side of Adkin Ave, and you will see us in the paddock past the playing fields.

Required:
Motorsport NZ Car Club Membership (unless this is your first or second event ever)
$20 (or more, if you really feel like it), Helmet and Overalls (no Polycotton!!).
The willingness to chuck your car around a paddock and have a lot of fun.

No rally tires allowed, to respect the venue. Mud and Snow tires at the discretion of the clerk of the course (in other words, bald mud and snows are ok, otherwise no).

All playing to be done within the confines of the paddock. Absolutely no silly buggers will be tolerated outside the venue. We will call the police, and we will make sure anyone doing anything stupid outside the venue is talking to a member of the law enforcement community. It hasn't happened yet, but it only takes the once for us to lose the venue and the help of the Levin council

The venue is fairly road car friendly, but be prepared for some bumps and bouncing.

Awesome way to learn some car control, and dip your toes in the water. Friendly atmosphere, and drive as fast or as slow as you want.

If you want to get out in the passenger seat of one of our caged cars, we will do our utmost to get you out there for a ride. Minimum age 12, and those under 18 *must* have an underage indemnity signed by their guardian. If we can’t get safety gear to fit you, then unfortunately we won’t be able to put you out there.

If it’s very wet in Levin, we will get rained off.

"Understeer" is when you hit the fence with the front of the car.
"Oversteer" is when you hit the fence with the rear of the car.
"Horsepower" is how fast you hit the fence.
"Torque" is how far you take the fence with you.
