ROFL! crack up!
I thought Manfield required an extinguisher?
Even if it doesn't it's a cheap way to help prevent you losing everything.
And, maybe even prevent someone else who doesn't have one.
At the end of the day, an $80 extinguisher is far better than any insurance policy you'll find anywhere. That is unless you want to claim on a policy :-?

it's even better if you get an extinguisher for $50 from one of the safety shops :) Bargains are great.

I know there is not going to be 'racing' but I assume faster cars will be able to pass on the straights?

Hell yes!!
:mrgreen:

There is certainly passing on the straights and if there is someone who has moved over for you in a corner then you can pass there as well. There's just to be no bullying in the corners or taking someone’s line.

It would be a stinko day indeed with a faster car stuck behind a 'nana'. :?

Cripes this is heating up to be a great range of cars. Thanks for all the interest guys, I can't wait to get down there for a 'fang' with you all.

There's a few Honda boys along for the fun too so that will give you all something to play with.

Brad: I know you've entered, but to let you all know. I'm taking entries up until Mid July or until the day is full (which ever comes first).

That was the Albany branch of NZ safety. When I asked they said they only had the one style - with a moulded plastic bracket.

As B1 said, plastic doesn't cut it come MSNZ event time.
Hell, I'd steer clear from plastic anyway, can't get good chrome plastic :lol:

Someone's more than welcome to stay at mine, spare bed etc. available.

Gutted it's a Friday, getting off work is impossible when you haven't got any staff to cover :(
