Any chance one of yous could transport a Raleigh 20 from Yowzer?

Apparently that arena just had $50k of fresh sand added to it. Feel free to come and park at the racetrack if there's no parking available.

Well have I got the deal for you!

We're just a bunch of people who happen to be riding bikes in a similar area on the same weekend. Our scooters are just a bit taller than yours .

You sure do! Hope you'll be ready to join the big boys crew for the mission .

You and @Chunky_tshould certainly ride from the top of the south. Wellington to Palmy isn't a long trip. We'll probably leave a day or two before the ride kicks off. We can either have a BIG day 1: Palmy-Napier-Waikaremoana-Whakatane or stay in Waikaremoana and cruise into Whakatane the next day. For the return trip we might split early, boost the coast road and head south, but we haven't decided yet.

Who's going to join the 250 gang? We'll be starting from Palmy on XRs and DRZs and heading up to Whak via Napier and Waikaremoana. Here's my whip for this year:

Some inspiration for you. Interesting choice of rally car!

They're building an NPD station around the corner from my house at the moment. Looking forward to that 100+ octane goodness.

Any idea of dates for the 2021 edition?

Got the car back together just in time for CJC Gripfest at Manfeild. I mounted a passenger's seat and took a few people for rides including @Mitch.W and @Snoozin. It's the first casual trackday this car's done since Nats 2013, so was nice to get out there and have fun cutting laps. There were a few cool cars to play with! Scott embarrassed me by passing me in his EP71 Starlet (looks like a regular old EP, but is B18C powered). The front bumper is still a work in progress, but I'm happy with the over all look. Thanks to Emma for the photos and videos .

Getting there now.

Gave it a bit of bog and a sand, then hit it with some primer to see the over all shape. So far I'm really happy with it. Still a bunch more sanding required, but I think it's going to look pretty good.

I've been busy doing a bit of fibreglass work. The front is coming back together now. Sanding and bogging is up next, then it'll be ready for paint. My replacement guards arrived too. Thanks to @TimShadboltfan27 for being a GC and collecting them for me! It'll need a wheel alignment (possibly a new tie rod end or rack end if they're bent) and then it's basically ready to hit the track again.

Couple of wall ornaments from the weekend. Fibreglass bumpers don't like being run over! The corner light survived, but I've got these facelift ones in stock, so will swap these in.
