Wouldn't really worry me actually. She is a good driver but is more cautious as she doesn't want to break anything.

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.

During a couple of track days at Levels outside of Timaru, the local speed club lets us use the clubrooms which most of us camp in. Nice to stay on site and mix with the fellow racers. Wife isn't so happy as she generally likes a comfy bed.

During years of stock car racing we always used to sleep at the tracks in our Hotel Hiace with a Gazebo outside.
Good times

Double height self inflating airbeds is the key here.. I've got a double single each(one for me, one for her!) They are amazing.Benckj wrote:During a couple of track days at Levels outside of Timaru, the local speed club lets us use the clubrooms which most of us camp in.

We go camping at least once a year on Auckland Anniversay weekend and use the Chateau' Canvas. Three days racing and three nights drinkingMikeP wrote:During years of stock car racing we always used to sleep at the tracks in our Hotel Hiace with a Gazebo outside.

Re: MR2OCNZ 25th Anniversary-Nationals 23rd Nov 2019
UPDATE:
Last night we hit the magic number 45 Cars which means we are all GO !!!.
But keep talking it up we want more than this (I need 65 at least)
Ferry and Accommodation deals will be released next Tuesday .
I have been asked about MR-S racing. Unfortunately unless you have a roll bar you cant race . You can do Drag Racing , parade laps and Ghymkana and Show N Shine though and have a really great time .
If you know or see any other MR2 drivers make sure you ask them If they are coming too
Cant Wait -See Ya there

It's already in! Btw, the front windscreen frame has an internal rollbar, too and is a lot sturdier than what it appears.mickeyduck wrote:

Re: MR2OCNZ 25th Anniversary-Nationals 23rd Nov 2019
Me and my partner are keen to come in my 2, there are a few people from hamilton that im pretty sure are keen to tag along with me as well. And a couple in auckland that are also interested in coming too, but didnt see them on your list. Is there a place that you can best keep track of names and stuff? might pay to follow up on facebook with names to see if anyone else is missing
Otherwise im keen! Do we know if there are any rules/requirements for track attire for different events?
