I hope they made it back to Whangarei fine

a big thanks to everyone, including helpers, timers, organisers, mechanically minded assistants, weather gods and so on

great time had by all

looks like we're going to have to strip down and rebuild the MR2 engine, oh well thats racing!

for the record, I beat Graham! woo!
IN YOUR FACE!!!

i reckon the trackday needs to be in the middle of the program, cause i missed out on saying see-ya to so many people (sorry) as it always ends up a big rush at the end of the day when everyones trying to get organised and home

I just had a text from Damien saying they got home but the engine is toast

Glad they are home safe, the engine is replaceable, they're not.
On the plus side he did tell me about this 1UZ he could use to replace it

Hi all.

I would like to offer my huge thanks to Andrew, Leela, Aaron, Cam, Adrian (MrOizo), Lisa, Ken and Blair who were the main-stays from 7.30am to 5pm for the day. You are so totally awesome and without you I could not have run the day.
I want to say a huge thanks to the people who helped on timing and at the marshal points on the track, the boys on the BBQ (excellent idea Brad) and the other general helpers who contributed to the day. I very much appreciate your contribution and effort!

Every single one of you are fantastic and worth your weight in gold!

Thank you to all the competitors for your patience and co-operation as we made the day get on line throughout the morning. I only had a couple of people a little frustrated, thank you for coming to me directly with those frustrations.
I was impressed with the general behaviour and for those of you who competed in your first event ... WELL DONE!! Hope you keep up the motorsport events in the future.

Like everyone else I had a fun time on the track and my little Mirage with her new suspension and standard gearbox (close ratio one died) did great. Been far too long since I've been on the track... I think its time to get back there soon.

Thanks & take care.
Chelles

You were in a fully blown race car...

...and I was in a basically standard ROAD SPEC CAR

And I was only 1sec slower

IN YO FACE!

Cheers guys, made it home in one piece. Car, not so much.

Once i've finished crying over it I'll put humpty dumpty back together.

Bummer - did it actually get you back under its own power though?

that was running like balls, and which i had never driven before - MR2's arent easy to drive

Loving the irony of telling people they're making excuses then making an excuse yourself :lol:

Awesome

Now I have the fun task of picking off all the molten rubber left on the sides of the tires lol. Was really cool to be able to push the car past any normal limits

On the topic of win, I reckon "Lith" and "Richy" will look quite pretty at the top of the top ten board at Daytona

I believe Richard was in Kart 1. Somehow I don't think it just came down to the quicker Kart on this.

Haha Richard also did a quick time in Kart 11 - and it did go very well, I was just being cheeky

The kart didn't drive itself, though.
