I believe the idea for 9am starts is to beat some of the traffic. We all know how much it sucks getting caught behind the slow pokes!
But I'm open to trying later if that is preferred.
Shall we put it to a vote, comment below :D

Well I survived Chrome unscathed! (Unlike many other cars) So I will still be leading the run, yay!
Looks like we only had the one person that keen on a time change to vote... So we will keep it the same time (Sorry guys...) After all more experienced ACs set up these times, for these areas on Sundays for a reason.
And many I have spoke to prefer the early start as they have family's etc to still spend time with Sunday arvo.

Aim to meet 830. Leave at 9 sharp.
Keep an eye out here for potential postponement due to weather.
Hopefully it is fine and dry. And I look forward to seeing all of you and your cars! :D :D

They opened the track while it was still wet. And hundreds of unskilled Muppets went crazy. It was chaos! Heaps of crashes. We waited until natural selection weeded out the dangerous ones, and the track dried before we went on. Also way to many cars on the track at once. I wasn't impressed. Clubfest was far better!

Yep sure, 7.20am should allow heaps of time. That is the new BP past Te Rapa right?
