Yeah I'd be super keen to build a cheap as race car (probably a Chevette/something small) and have a go. I always wonder why some of the rich buggers about Nelson/upper south don't throw a bit of money into it. It would be an asset to the Tasman region I think. The plans they have mooted are more than just a race track- mtb tracks too and designed to cater to a family day out.

Well since there's not a huge amount of interest in Rabbit Island how about we make this Sundays out at Kohatu? (I think the weather is meant to be a bit 'non-bbq friendly this weekend anyway- ideal for cars on a dirt track though...) I am quite excited at the prospect of potentially seeing @ThePog mobile race around the Xcross course. Good idea?

@NickJ is a good dude like that. I'm sure his landie also left an oil puddle on your driveway as an extra gift

OK oldschoolers of Nelson area - I have just been nudged by Dylan @ThePog and reminded of the time. Yeah its about time we organise a meetup, have a bbq and discuss the finer points of old car ownership etc It could be the usual rabbit island meet because its easy, close enough to most, has bbqs and ample parking. No date will suit all but how about we aim for the week Sunday - that will be Sunday the 13th, say at 12pm If anyone here knows someone who fits the bill for the oldschool way ie - does not take themselves too seriously then bring them along.

Yeah @johnny.race check your reg is a good one- often they come with cheapie regs that dont flow smoothly at low rates and flutter. Get the type that has the vertical gauge with a ball. I run my gas as low a rate as I can as its a waste to use any extra. Don't worry about not having a foot pedal. If you can practice and improve using it without it'll be a load better for using the tig in awkward places and positions where there is no way to use a pedal etc.
