Default Any Rennlisters from New Zealand?

Paul, happy to pay the increased hire for a crack at the big track. Perhaps Spring though? I think 2 of the 3 PCNZ days had rain last winter

27 August OK?

It's the last weekend before summer track rates kick in (and we can't afford those)

Hahaha you're always welcome to come down and get pissed. That seems all we are capable of doing!

Funny thing was I went to the Southwards Car Museum Open Day and I saw Dan the Central committee member popping a business card under my 993 wiper to invite me to join the club. I walked up and said I'm already a member.... seems the club invite got lost in interweb land...

We should just all relocate to Taupo and take over the track!

Probably the SC, would love to track the 930 again but can't help trying my best, e.g. sitting on someone's bumper picking up stonechips. Looking forward to some Pokeno Bacon prior!

Kiwi Carguy said "I went to the Southwards Car Museum "
just curious - do they still have the 300sl on the turntable at entrance & Capone's bullett ridden v16(?) Caddy inside? Haven't been for a while (1986)? Also a heap of other interesting stuff - 1903 de Dion Bouton etc?
Supposed to be best private museum in southern hemisphere - & only really Schlumpf bro's in France to compare.
Best I've seen was MB in Stuttgart - way more historically comprehensive than P museum. BMW also worth a visit.

The extended track will be difficult to secure this year but we (RSG) are working on it. TQ wants to debut it in Oct/Nov with the V8 series I understand....I don't think we will see the extended track being offered very often as TQ wants to keep this a bit exclusive and it enables him to run double dates with two tracks simultaneously.

There is a GT members/prospective members walk the new track to see progress afternoon late on 30th I believe. It still has a bit of work to go then must cure.

Taupo is the go. Best track in NI by my reckoning, even with HD extension (still too many right hand corners), 3.3 km and only FIA 2 track in NZ. The new key stake holder Izard is going to be rolling out some more accessible use/price formats for that track in 2016 I believe so keep an eye out...

Going to be an early start since we got bumped to 8am on track. Hope they open early at the bacon place - one thing they're not good at is being quick!
