Yep. Pretty-much.CJ wrote:wow....just wow mike...
It would be real nice to catch up with some of them from The Tron. You especially CJ. Gonna be there mate? Grab Matt and make him ride shotgun.
I know a REALLY fun back-roads way to get there from Jafaland. Could lead the way if Paul, Wardy and Mike are ok with the idea...
Trippin' to The Tron...
Fine by me mate. Being Easter I'm not sure I'll be able to anyway. But even if I can it will be in the slow rust bucket so happy to follow anyway

I admit I had to Google what hard park was but sounds fun, I will put off my brake overhaul a little longer.

Re: Waikato Raid -HTOWN HARDPARK 21 April
Hi Kevin
It's ok mate I had to check as well.Hard parking is when you show off a race prepped (and actually tracked) car at a car show or meet. You're car is "hard" (hardcore race prepped), but it's "parked" instead of being seen on the track actually serving its purpose. The better track prepped/more hardcore the car, the "harder" the parking. It is a tongue in cheek term, too, with a very slight negative connotation to it (since the car isn't being used for its purpose).
Some have taken the term and bastardized it by applying it to cars that have never seen track time. In this case, they're actually "softparking"...but try to call it hardparking to gain the credence of a tracked car. It's the kind of word that has been seen in the past when the JDM craze first started .
Bit of a park up ,meet up ,trade displays,show and shine type thing .
Car club displays
Food,Music pretty good atmosphere
Cheers

Re: Waikato Raid -HTOWN HARDPARK 21 April
Or another way to look at it is, it's a bunch of young car photographers looking to become the next 4's n Rotas type thing... And make a good deal of money. Good on 'em if it works out. A lot of others will enjoy the ride too no doubt.
