If it's so smooth ... lend me your car Bruce Put yer money (well, actually car keys) where your mouth is

[TRD Man]

I've seen your dubious driving talents already Leon. I'm not sure I'd lend you my car for the tarmac let alone the loose.

Besides, it's a well known fact that the faster you go, the smoother it is.
So, just go harder!

You said it yourself - we get over 30 at most of our autocrosses.
It can't be that bad if they keep coming back.

[B1NZ]

Must have some odd looking babies up your way then


So who's coming to watch me and Pc run over some more tyres?

[z|gen]

hmm...might have to find a spare set of rims then to put the road tyres onto..

[toymato]

I'll be there and show you how to really run over tyres. You've got to hit them with *both* sides of the car.

If you're real good you can see me run over a bank as well.

Come along, David, you'll enjoy it.

Well i might be there for both and might not be. Ski season has started see and for the 25th well thats my 1st wedding aniversary so i don't think i'd manage to get out of going off for the day on that one. Might have to work on talking her into coming down and having a go instead of going out for dinner

What could be more romantic than a day out sliding around on the paddock?
I have a cage so if anyone wants a ride, bring overalls and helmet. The seat may be uncomfortable for bigger people

[gurutasker]

I think it's about time I get a set of overalls for myself.. rather than just borrow from everyone all the time

Anyone got any good suggestions of where to get an average pair for an average price? (Of course 100% cotton, and sealed cuffs preferred)

[Leon]

Deane Apparel, or any commercial uniform type place. If you don't mind sewing elastic or suchlike into the cuffs.

Fitted overalls you're best to head to Road and Track, and get their cotton overalls that look like fireproof race overalls.

[B1NZ]

the saftey shop next to the hutt rd/jackson st roundabout opposite mobiland the train station in petone have them for $80 or there abouts

[Dell'Orto]

Damn sunday events Are there any coming up in July?

Huh? all events are on Sunday... If I remember the bible correctly, it said Sunday is a day of motorsport.

Yeah I know, but I work Sundays

Go out and buy yourself some double layer race overalls for the just in case you do something bigger like rally etc or about $600 brand new. then at least you'l feel like your going fast aye

Ring me on (06) 953 0610 and I will do a pair of 100% cotton overalls for $33.26 incl. gst. Plus postage of course, but it's a small amount. Can do credit card over the phone if preferred etc.

Ask for Richard.

[gurutasker]

Sweet mate, If your not working weekends then I'll give you a call sometime next week.

[Snoozin]

Haha that's my work number so call whenever you like Sat morning I'm, working as well.

[Loudtoy]

Listen you girl's blouses. Our track is as smooth as a baby's bum. We expend many many man hours and $$$'s filling & rolling it to get it that way.
Car killer indeed! Get a real car!

Incidently would i be allowed to run gravel tires on the front of my datsun down at kapiti?? Won't run them on the back so i don't rip up the course to much but it would be nice to have some semblance of turning without having to set the car up as i leave the start line for the last corner

i'm pretty sure ive seen RWD rally cars running there previously with gravel tyres on the front only

[quinny]

Harbour Capital Car Club invites you to play in the paddock!

Donnelly Park, Levin.
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
$20
100% cotton overalls (no poly cotton - check the label on the inside)
Correct crash helmet (if you think it's ten years old, leave it at home)
The willingness to chuck your car around a paddock and have a lot of fun.

No rally tires allowed, to respect the venue.

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.
