Kylie.... I wanna sign up later this week to the club.

Might head out to Meremere for a look... maybe I could convoy with you? Not so sure on putting the Elise down the strip, not much point... I know it'll run 14s flat all day and the only thing that'll improve that is the porky old driver losing a few more pounds!

The puke sprints sound good and PARTICULARLY the driver training day! I want to book in for this because I hear it fills up fast! Am I able to book my father in for this one too in his E-Type? WIll have to find out about signing up so I can take care of it well in advance.

...Yip Club members get priority over other invites, so if your wanting to drive, better get in. The numbers are almost snapped up....

.... I will have to get rid of the relatives staying with me on that morning, so unsure at this stage what time I wil be heading out, but sure can convoy, no probs.....

Cool, be ace to see it in action. I am too much of a blouse to run my girl down the strip, but will see if I can round up some fellow club members for a convoy down there to support ya's.

If your not a member go here www.clublotus.org.nz/
and fill in the on-line membership form. Then email the club president, his email details on the site and ask to attend the meet. He should send you out the documentation as required. Hope this helps.

oops, thanks Kylie-I am a member (though I've never had confirmation of this)-I've paid my 50 bux
My query was: how do i register for the wee blat down the straight thing in the Fraser?? by the way, what are you doing calling yourself a blouse when i get the impression you are a track demon?

Just e-mailed the club pres to ask him the best way to sign up (don't have a cheque book so can't sent my membership subs off by post).

Looking forward to getting amongst it on the track

See if you keep yourself quiet, then the expections of ya arent so great. Race day arrives and everyone scratches their head "why did I just get my @ss kicked" Nah reason being is that at the moment I cant afford to replace the expensive bits that may break on on the car, if I run on the strip due to just buying over priced Auckland pad!!!.
Shes ok on the track, but those standing starts aren't so good for my 15yr old baby (teenager?)

When did you sign up? you should have got a membership card in the mail by now.

Best bet to contact the President to get the details off the Jag club for the drags and also about the status of your memebership. I will also find out what time the drags kick off as I think I can go. So if you guys want to start a convoy somewhere south, will be happy to meet up.

Cool, I think youu could print out the form on-line and drop cash payment off to one of the committee members nearest to you. Am sure Geoff will let you know.

I can't make the LBJ day, but will be helping out to scrutineer for the sprints. Not racing this yr, my turn to lend a hand instead.

Hi the sprints run from 10am - 4pm.
More details here www.jagclub.org.nz/

Have rounded up two V8's and a Porsche so far for the drive not sure if they are competing. Of course weather permitting, if its a crap day I am staying put I am afraid.

Hi Kylie
I joined in February and haven't heard a thing from them. Also no reply to my latest email
