Nice to see you at the Tuakau/Waikaraka Park events. I edit the magazine for the Hibiscus Coast Club, and might be out and about at some of those events. Make sure you try and do some Autocross events, they are even more fun than Motorkhanas.

Thanks for the welcome everyone.

This year ive been involved in the Fiat Car Club tarmac series (Formerly the Teng Tools tarmac series) where ive competed in an Autocross, a Bent Sprint and in 2 weekends time Ill be competeing in a Hillclimb. Also in the last 12 months Ive taken part in low level events at Pukekohe, Taupo and Manfield.

The rally boys are not much of a fan of these. Normally the tarmac events are ony held when the weather is a bit Auckland-ish. Plus, we have members who own a a farm and a quarry, compete with some excellent access roads, which allows for relatively inexpensive hillclimb events. The rallysprint at Hampton Downs was fantastic though.
