Helpers needed April 14th, Manfeild

[Elmendorf]

Sorry Leon, I'd help but Im gonna be ripping up the grass at Manfeild trying to make the crudia fly at day one of the 2nd MCC multievent weekend

Actually ... I believe that event runs after the Dual Car Sprint, from a conversation with Julian Hardy

Gotta get the crudia workin b4 hand tho

[Leon]

well barring miracles, I won't have a suitable car to compete in for this event for the second year running [grumble]

So I'll be up there timing for the day. I think we should probably do some car pooling for this one ... who's keen to head up and back on the day, and combine some cars?

[Mr Revhead]

im in
wont have a car though

[Leon]

I currently have a two seat car, but might have something else by then. Also, can borrow the EE90 off the other half if required seats are > 2

[Mr Revhead]

ok, but if we take the mx5 i want to be big ears
so you have to be noddy.

[2LTR Rona]

if you two go in that I am so leaving early to get a random photo of you guys rolling along in it with the top down

[fj40cruzapete]

i can lend a hand a 4wd if needed etc

[gurutasker]

If i come up as a helper on the day what time would someone be looking at getting back into wellington if i could catch a ride? Got something to attend that night tis all.

[Leon]

Can never say with total confidence, as it is after all a motor sport event ... normally we're wrapped up by around four, or half four.

Why you no enter Guru?

We're all good for recovery vehicles, but thanks for the offer

[pc]

I'm available to help. I was intending to go up and watch anyway. Just let me know when to be there... and given my memory of late, I may require a reminder.

[Leon]

What the ... seriously, Pete, Aaron ... how come you're not entered? It's cheaper than 2/3rds of the non MSNZ permitted track days you've been doing, and it actually has a full compliment of marshalls and safety crews etc.

Marshalls want to be there half nine at the latest (Pete).

[toymato]

Even though you didn't ask, I will be 'out there' on the track. 'Out there' could, in fact, mean visiting the infield, again.

[toymato]

Rumour has it that my car is 'No. 1' - but only because my application was the first to be accepted.

[Leon]

I'm guessing you're taking Albaru, rather than the Rolls?

I'm not really a track racer. I have been trying to do all of the tracks at least once when I can, but I have only been going back to Manfield when I change something on the car, to see how much faster the car is.
Maybe if I get another car I will try Manfield again.

Can't afford it while looking for a flat at the moment. Plus that and had to do a couple of repairs which do chip away.

[Leon]

bugger that's a shame, because it looks there's going to be sweet fa entries, which means everyone gets about a thousand runs.

Well at this rate, its gonna be you and me on the track and 4 guys watching with stop watches

I assume well be allowed passengers in caged cars (I never gonna come first anyhow)

[toymato]

I'm guessing you're taking Albaru, rather than the Rolls?

Yeah. I don't have any semi-slicks for the Rolls - and the wing mirrors just slow it down.
