Truenotch Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 Will probably get dad to take the falcon up = work gas ... Not sure if I'll bother with a trailer though, if I crash or it brakes I'll figure out a way home after. Will hopefully have an incar/bumper cam by then aswell. Anyone been there before? Know what the roads like and how to get there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leebo3 Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 Its pretty easy to find and the roads arent to bad. If you are heading to Hastings from the south, you may be familiar with a maori boys high school in the middle of no where, "te Aute", between Waipawa and hastings, its just past that.

Truenotch Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 Ahh yeah I know Te Aute. Going to enter Pukeora Rd on the sundsy cause Dad said it's an awesome event and it's closer to Palmy and is longer so should be good. Quite looking forward to this now, apparently the roads all covered in moss in places so will have to go to some mossy backroads and have a practice .

Truenotch Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 Nah mang, read back over what we were talking about earlier, it's a clubsport event so unless it's outlined in the Suplimentary regs (Which it's not) you don't have to ahve a cage. Basically open to any car that will pass scruit as long as the driver has a membership and a clubsport licence... Should be great fun, and I'm going to try and push my hardest for a Pahiatua track Hillclimb down here sometime... Might be hard cause the roads getting a bit busy...

CaMpylobacter Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 saddle would be more of a go, traffic wise. or a multitude of other roads. but yuh, track would be cool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Truenotch Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 Yeah but the saddle already has 3 events a year on it (I think) so would be a push to try for more... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Truenotch Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 Yeah you haven't been on it yet Jared but I plan on it when you next come down, it used to be used for a wrc stage and is used in Daybreaker and Targa rallies nowadays, so it a great road really. It's not the usual place to go cause it's further from Palmy. Cam- Haha yeah Vinagar hill is heaps faster, esp if going to Feilding , not to great on the gas though I like the corners at the top with the view over the land on a sunny day are great.
