Seems unlikely, as that's a Hutt Valley car club venue.

More likely to rent slipway.

having both would be good but may not be financially viable with the extremeo slackarse ness at times of MM turn outs.

If people would like an autocross at Todd Park I know the Hutt Valley president and have the ability to pursued him, there wouldn't be an issue doing an event to involve TS people (those of you who don't come already that is)

its an autocross... you dont need power
you need skill


I lack both, hahaha


The way to learn is come and just do it. I've been autocrossing for around 8 months now and they are huge fun. I've learnt heaps and I'm now actually getting some decent places when the weather is kind to me.

I like both grass and tarmac, however I have at my disposal a car for both surfaces. :P

Grass is better as you need more skill that power/suspension, You still need skill for tarmac auto cross's but on grass a 1000cc FWD car can own a rally spec EVO etc....
