Mega meet to wellington?

[Stott69]

Is only a draft so can and will be changed around once Ive talked to a few people

[iOnic]

STM open (on request) on Sundays for dyno days. Hub dyno though so takes forever to set up/remove a car.

Can pretty much count me in for a day. Not often I have longer than that free.

[Stott69]

Ive got to ring Doug at STM back. Has anyone dealt with Shred or any where else with a dyno?

Think we will award bonus prizes for anyonr that turns up to Karting like this:

[disturbedphil]

Would definately be keen on a scavenger hunt. All of the palmy people that would be going along who went to Naki last year would be too I'd say.

Agreed

[~SlideWays~]

This sounds like fun LOl @ Mario Kart

What he said since we share a car:lol:

[Stott69]

Think I just found the criuse route, any comments on the whitemans valley loop?

[NILPSI]

Hey Scott,

Could I recommend finding numbers and making accommodation top of your to do list as this takes a lot of time. I'll also suggest you find somewhere with secure parking as like me, most people will want to know their car is safe during scavenger hunts etc while people all pack into cars as teams. If you need any help give me a call or text, I'm happy to help out if needed.

[Stott69]

Sweet cheers for that Sam

[NILPSI]

Scott,

Any more progress on this?

Only 10 weeks to go, its going to be here before you know it!

[Mr Ree]

10 weeks is virtually tomorrow...Blink and you will miss it!

[Stott69]

Dyno is penciled in at Shred. Hccc is doing a auto cross on the monday, so entery will be up to those wanting to enter. What kind of accomidation do people want? Ive got a big back yard people can pitch tents on, and a secound loo.

[Mr Ree]

How much will the dyno cost, please, Scott?

[Stott69]

Ill call in on the way home, sub $100 if I recall correctly. Hub dyno same as speed tech

[.:O4AGTZ:.]

Think I just found the criuse route, any comments on the whitemans valley loop?

Not overly narrow but does get narrow in places and not the smoothest either. Other option perhaps all the way round the bays? Makara?

[Stott69]

Dyno: $50 2wd
$80 4wd
$15 air & fuel ratios
Minimum 8 cars
No print outs but will email or save to a USB

I'm not a proper local yet so dont know many of the good driving roads so open to suggestion

[Mr Ree]

$50 is a fair price, mate. Im sure you will get enough takers.

As suggested, one of the best drives in the 04 is...starting from Owhiro bay and continuing around the south coast past Island Bay, Lyall Bay, then through Worser Bay, Seatoun, Breaker Bay, Scorching Bay, Shelley Bay and the rest of the Miramar peninsula, around Evans bay, along the quays, onto motorway, turn off at Petone and then head to the end of Eastbourne.

It is a pretty long drive, but its awesome, and one of the longest non stop coastal drives in the world.

[MrOizo]

The Akatarawas are a good drive! Took it by mistake in work wagon (well GPS said it would be a good idea).

Umm, not really. Probably one of the roads where you really want to slow down and drive safely. I've driven through there in the work wagon. There is no way in Hell I'd consider spirited driving through there.
Paekakariki hill is better

[Leon]

Aka's and Moonshine are good at night when you can use oncoming headlights to warn you that a car is coming the other way.

The rest of the time both those roads are hellacious narrow.

Paekakariki Hill Road, Whiteman's Valley loop, Makara are all safer for a daytime drive. Around the Bays and Makara have both had their speed limits reduced though.
