Any questions feel free to contact Pietra or Myself. My number is 021 97 33 97

A private trackday is being held by Myself and Pietra for everyone to enter, and is aimed to be a pure fun day for all those keen to give the track a crack

Costs: $85 for next 20 and cutoff for payments 8th September. .

And if paying for DVD also:

So first in first served guys, can't wait to see you there. :)

Other Details to remember....

There will be no refunds. Once you pay your entry fee, that is it!!

Competitors need to be @ the track before 8:45am.
This is so we can discuss the finer details of the day, fill out forms and get the scutineering done. You should be on the track not long after.

Cars are released at 10 second intervals, and each run is limited to 5 laps - but you are free to exit the track through the pit lane at any point. This takes the form of a “driver training day”, so there is no specific race structure as the event has no MSNZ affiliation.

Basic Requirements

Drivers Licence for the liability forms
Warrant of Fitness or current MSNZ Log Book
No Open headers
Battery secure
No lose objects inside of car
Quick inspection of helmet
And a general look around of the car (to be no leaking fluids, shocks, loose hosing, worn or loose wheels/tyres, glazed brakes etc)

Helmet - up to your personal preference, open face or full face, no cycle helmets though.

Clothing - covered footwear must be worn, along with a race suit or cotton mechanic style overalls.

Fire Extinguisher – This is to be mounted securely inside your vehicle. You can pick up a small suitable fire extinguisher for as little as $30 from most car parts stores.

Interior Stripping - Almost anything goes, as long as you still have a seat to sit on and have interior door panels must ramin. And there may be no loose objects ie spanners and the likes.

Exhaust - Full exhaust system must remain.

Brakes - I thoroughly recommend a fluid flush & bleed at the least. Upgrading brake pads is also a wise idea, along with upgrading fluid – as Ruapuna will test your braking system.

Track Rules
No alcohol on the premises.
No intentional loss of traction, accidental is ok but will be monitored
There is a 30km/h speed limit in the park area, 15km/h in the pits.
Smoking only allowed on the grandstand and spectator banks.
Spectators must remain in the designated areas, and approved people (members) are allowed in the pits. Nobody is allowed on the track unless allowed to by the event organisers.

Food – There is a Burger King, McDonalds, Subway, KFC, Pizza Hutt, and Hells Pizza nearby in Hornby. A 5-minute drive from the track.

If u have been missed please contact us ASAP!!

If I enter my MR2 but it isn't going yet can I change and use the 300ZX instead (I will notify the right people of course)?
If so I'm in :twisted: :D
edit: actually I'll send you a text

Yeah if its crap weather then it just makes things more interesting as u have to adapt ur driving style to the conditions, and to be honest a slight dampness is quite good as it helps the tyres last a little better I find.

Well its not needed as I have enquired with the CCC club , but I prefer one with a metal bracket since if u do roll or crash, you don't have to worry about a fire extinguisher bouncing round ur head. :wink:

All the standard ones you buy from the warehouse and co now are all metal brackets. Unless they have a few of the old ones hanging round depending on store.

Most fun I've had in my life :D
Even got timed at 1:55 which I don't think was too bad for a stock auto 300ZX.
When's the next one?? :lol:
