Once the start/finish line, is crossed, timing of the lap will begin, and the vehicle is timed over one complete lap of the 1.3km ‘Track 3’ circuit configuration. After the timed lap is completed, competitors will then make one final ‘In Lap’ before returning to pit lane.

Timed competition will continue until track closure at 4.30pm. Competitors will run in the nominated running order. Competitors will be given one or more timed runs. Only the competitor fastest lap will count towards the results. For the purpose of timing the start / finish line will be adjacent to the pit lane and will be marked by cones.

Another mistake (kicks self again). Thanks for pointing it out Shelfy. Are you planning on bring the mighty 3sgte transplant down?

The Auckland srutineering has been confirmed as Wednesday the 3rd from 5:30pm onwards. Although it is a bit of a trek south for guys living in north or west Auckland, I would greatly appreciate if people made the effort to get there as soon as they could after work/uni etc since some VTNZ staff are staying back to lock up.
