Just got a phone call ...

Wellington car club is looking for about another four people to help marshal on this Sunday.

The bonus is, they feed you, and you can get a ride up Mt Vic in a car, usually at extremely scary speeds if my experience is anything to go by (160+ airborne in a Ford Escort).

If you are able to help out, can you please drop me a PM, and I'll put you in touch with somebody from their club.

Apparently 50+ entries so far.

Yes. Otherwise you would be watching a manic drive of the Toyota with a mandatory off-road excursion.

Toy_baru , you could be the 1st to make it down to the velodrome in a coROLLalot

as for me , Mr revhead has come though with the replacement C.V so the mighty Panda starlet will be there without me having to "borrow" parts from the road car
yay

Very funny

Q. How many CVs does it take to finish an autocross?
A. Depends if it's a car or a Panda.

Yes, that's the one. Starts not far from the bottom of the Alexandra Road / Constable Road junction.

Spectating... probably from about 10am or so?

are public allowed to compete?

i'm guessing not just asking in-case, wouldn't mind giving the gt a go up the hill

Jesus what a scary thought.

No, the public isn't allowed to compete in something like this.

First couple of autocross or motorkhana events yes.

Huge thanks to Revhead, 2ltrRona, and BzzzzR and brother, also Leela, all of whom have put their hand up to help marshal

What are public?
Anyone's allowed to compete. You will need a clubsport license and car club membership. So if your asking "can I turn up on a whim and run my car" then the answer is no.
But if your asking "Can I enter these types of events in the future" Then the answer is yes (with a little forward thinking).

I assumed he meant "without belonging to a car club" ... thus my hint towards autocross' (cough March 17th cough)

Yes... March 17th would be a good one for the 'public' to have a go at, although it does require pre-entry (forward thinking)

Yah, I'm about to phone Brian Budd to give him all your guys details to contact with the info.

If anyone wants to enter the MMC event I will arrange to leave my overalls and helmets with somebody.

by **BZRMMM** » Thu Mar 08, 2007 1:44 pm
