Sure hope the weather gets itself together for us on the day.
Today was AWesome.
I might have to go for a quick scouting run this weekend to ensure one of the roads is up to it.
I know the rest of them will be fine...
Stay tooned folks, in case weather forces yet another delay.
All going well I'll see you at Westgate on the day.

100+ MR2OCNZ runs and counting... When going hard, good rubber's your best protection against unwanted accidents. Buy good tyres!
When you're nearing the end of the drag-strip and you have no 'chute, you may as well keep your foot to the floor... Live life. There ain't no second pass.

Drove down Red Hills rd a few weeks back, temp 50km zone and the road was questionable...mickeyduck wrote: I might have to go for a quick scouting run this weekend to ensure one of the roads is up to it.

Cant remember if I continued down on Nixon rd but it was one of the two

Yeah the trucks going to the landfill keep busting up Nixon Rd but it was fine a week ago. They keep fixing (and busting) it every few weeks. That's not the road I'm thinking of though... You'll see.

Re: AKL run 'round the Westie beaches 10 Sept 2017
Sorry guys unfortunately I won't be able to make it this weekend.
My aw is unable to get out of the garage because our house exterior is renovating, and the scaffolding round the house is blocking the garage.
It is very unlikely that they will be able to finish by end of the week.
Have fun guys, look forward to see everyone next time

Mind you the way this is going it'll probably decide to snow or something...
I never did get to scout out that road either as I had a REALLY bad weekend. But that's another story.
Stay tuned and we'll see what the weather does...

Though it would stop the brakes from smelling like a pile of burnt asbestos...

At what time will you call where to cancel or not! For tomorrows run? Charlie!
If the rain stops I will get chance to get Blue ready, if not?
I maybe put into a situation where I bring the white one.
Still I could play 'Tail End Charlie'.
