Worth checking AA Roadwatch before you leave to check for roadworks on the various routes. Was a bit of ice around early this morning as well.

Ruapuna is an awesome track

The kerbs are quite deceptively high in a few places and contributed (along with some driver error) to a MR2 getting written-off at the PlayDay Week that was there a few months back.

Don't mean to scare you at all because I think it is a relatively safe track (MUCH safer than Pukekohe) if you drive within the capability of both you and your car. However it doesn't have as much room for error as a more modern track like Taupo.

Have a great time.

Awesome - pub Sat night is it!!! You all be nice to me on track any pushing and shoving and ill probably cry

[Fraster]

have fun! I am envious as hell but will do a sundance for you!

Kylie.... Does the '350' tag refer to horsepower? Somehow I don't think you'll have any problems lining us up for a speedy passing manoeuver

Yes it does, although mines been chipped up and running approx 420bhp Its not the power I am worried about, its my lack of time on the track = dodgey passing, bad lines and wondering if the road tyres are gonna stick if I over cook the corners The Esprit is more suited to horsepower tracks like Puke. Its not nimble enough for twisty tracks. Love to try some full racing stickies, it would rock I rekon.

Nina & I are coming to play too. Very much learning how to drive the car again, it's all a bit nastier these days.

Hi

Good to be there in the 944 with Don - looking forwards to the pub on Sat night almost as much as the track action... wish I was bringing the 7 too though. List time I drove Taupo was in the kart, I thought then that it would suit the 7.

[Kylie]

Cool bananas Ian, if it rains well flag the track day and just head to the pub eh?

Willy did I meet u last year at lotus 60th tour?

1st post after 4 1/2 years? That's some serious lurking!!!!

[D1GGY]

Hmmmm might pop up for this...........I could do with a nice run out.

[Omerta]

It's booked out, but there could be more cancellations before, or even on the day if you don't mind coming up on the off chance. Email the guys organising it here http://www.playdayontrack.co.nz/contact.html
