17th March MMC and Speedtech Autocross - everyone is welcome

[furpo]

Just giving everyone a heads up that I have booked the Slipway track up past the windturbine in Wellington for MMC to run an Autocross on. I was up there last night with the MSNZ area steward and he is happy with the venue so it is all on.

I am still to write the regs so these are to come in the next few days as are details of entry.

Speedtech will also be providing spot prizes similar to the Motorkhana.



Since this is an Autocross everyone is going the need a helmet and cotton overalls. Make sure the pockets are sewn shut and the helmet has the correct standard on it.

Lol I hear my dad (Nick James) had a bit of a 2 wheel excursion

I didn't think the event would have gone ahead with how bad the weather was (I was working on getting my car back together all weekend anyway)

[furpo]

Yes he did, straight for me waiting on the start line. I am sure my eyes where as wide as his.

It is definatly an all weather venue.

The Lancer left the ground many times on Saturday - many different combinations of 2 wheels - left, right, rear, front - all on a flat track.
