Pete. I think that's s good idea. After the H everything else will see low rent and Tony says its clean with lots of safe parking...

Maxem

I'm in. Thanks for picking this up

Obsessed

I'm in with whatever you decide, thanks.

All reserved - have enough rooms for the full crew. Holding on c card for now and plenty of time to confirm. Deposit maybe needed in a month or so. Apparently some horse competition in town that weekend so good idea to get sorted.

John McM

Good work. What else do we need to organise? Probably just the logistics of getting our gear down there. I'm seriously looking at taking out my passenger seat and taking the track wheels down in the car. I can't see Steve having enough room for many spare sets in his van.

John McM

Chased up the banners. They're starting them 'soon'. No opportunity for a trial one as the machine isn't set up that way. I'd say we're looking at next week. Can only hope I have a car to put it on.

Macca

Pete. Thanks for organizing Palmy accommodation. let us know when payment is needed.

John thanks for sorting out banners. let us know when and how we pay you.

I have been trying to get in touch with Ray Williams about providing instructor services for September but after two emails no response so will follow up with a phone call later this week and confirm situation....

Kiwi Carguy

Yeah thanks guys for all you have done

Now to keep us going until then here's Georges well known Exige making short work of some nice kit out on Taupo. He sure can peddle that Exige.

I like his style of dispatch. He clearly knows the track and the car and uses a line and braking to reel them in slowly even though hes probably 100+ bhp down on all of them. Nice...

Rather aggressive driving for a non-competitive track day.

John McM

Difficult to say anything definitively without knowing how experienced all of the drivers were and how they'd chosen to run their group e.g. the front cars didn't appear to yield either so it wasn't all the chaser.

If it were our group, then it would be time to sort out some protocols. I do not have the skills to deal with racing lines and cars at close quarter, at the same time. That's why I'll look to go in the latter part of our group for the meantime, and definitely behind 'three abreast on turn one' Paul.

Playday just posted on Facebook. Two South Island tours now fully booked. 70 entrants each. One week apart.

Where did our group end up on this? Are we able to go as one group or are we split amongst the first week or even split amongst weeks?

Macca

This made me smile. I'm with you on this 100%. Looks like you and I in the back pack John LO!L

John McM

Playday arranged accommodation at Golden Gate in Cromwell is full for 22 & 23 March. Not sure who got in here but this seems to be a feature of this trip. I will try and book at the Carrick Lodge.

Macca

John, Did you call them? I have only just sent them an email so if the rooms are all gone then Ive missed out too. If thats the case maybe you can book us also for the Carricj Lodge or supply me the details and Ill contact them tomorrow...
