Taupo Don Locke Sprints - 12 July

[Omerta]

Sunday 12 July at Taupo - Iain and I will be there double timing runs in the 944. Any of our northern lot keen for a run out?

A seal rally sprint being run at the Taupo track. Each run is 8.2km around a newly modified short track (3 laps) suitable for Rallysprints. They are looking to give each competitor minimum 10 timed runs.

Good on you guys. Pity its a classic event otherwise we'd probably stay down. We are thinking of going down for some skids on the 11th with Tony Bowmans lot.

Ah yes... forgot about the homologation date.... we only just scrape into the 1982 limit ourselves.

By the way, we've removed the door light switches which, as you said, when activated make exactly the same clicky relay noise that we've been hearing randomly since we built it. Hopefully this will cure the problem. Is there anything you don't know about these cars George!?

Skids=Drift event? I've never tried one but would be keen to have a go seeing as we're there for the weekend. We've got plenty of part worn tyres to finish off! Is there a website with details somewhere?

no drifting - just a track day (Track 2) with Tony www.playdayontrack.co.nz

I first met Tony on the Narva Tour years ago punting a turbo mr2. He then competed in a v8 powered tr7 before going back to the tour in an esprit. last time I caught up with him he was pedalling an SR20 powered mx5 - top bloke

He's still got a couple of spare spots for the 11th

George are you going down for Playdayontrack ?? Thought I might go down but only 50/50 sure at the moment as not sure whether track 2 would be worth it with no long straights etc etc
