      Yeap I've just got a ticket tonight. Don't have a clue what's it really about, just going to rock up for a bit of fun - the track time being the biggest draw.

      Hey guys sorry i have missed this thread!

      - To try an answer your questions , yes it is a competition and yes there are prizes! kiwi rider magazine has hooked us up and we are squaring away a couple more this week!

      - The comp in basic form is a point to point clue finding scavenger hunt - with some of the tasks being phyiscal ex. last year we did 3 hard math questions or 3 sports things like kick a goal shoot a basket etc - but most of the points are based around photo's i.e. go to a place ( pointed out in the mission pack you will each get ) and take a photo of a thing with a pose or action depicting something relative to the thing. - that about as clear as mud? sweet you'l get it when you get your packs 2-3 weeks pre the event - all cars / bikes are expected to follow the road rules and the police will know our route, we have a good relationship with the police and we want to keep it that way and keep you all safe - its not a time trial you'l have hampton downs laps to hoon around!

      - Teams for bikes are in place as 1 car i.e. 4 people would work as a team ( 1 to take the photo 1-3 to be in it ) so 2-4 bikes could also be a team - but mostly so you can ride and have fun together

      - In terms of sign ups thus far they are slowly picking up but not many so tell your mates! ticket sales close on the 20th so spread the word!

      - Spookers is the prize giving first then the after party with music and food and a trip through the attractions if your brave enough!

      Feel free to call me direct or email me if there are any more questions

      Looking forward to having you guys!

      Price drop today from $125 to $59... on www.treatme.co.nz the trade me voucher site. If you're interested in the event this will save you $66. Assuming entry cost is the same for cars and bikes.

      The recession must really be biting as they seem to have run out of eccentric rich guys with exotic cars so oiks with bikes are allowed in...

      Good job! Get in there you Aucklanders and give dem car jockies a taste of biker power....

      This is an absolute ball of an event! think of it as the amazing race on wheels combined with phototag, a poker run, a mystery tour, and the hangover. I've entered this event for the last two years and it's one hell of a fun road trip. It's one day earlyish start and how long it takes depends entirely on how creative you want to get. S**t stirrers are encouraged and girlfriends are allowed. would definitly recommend watching smokey and the bandit, cannonball run, gumball rally and possibly even Goodbye Pork Pie for research and inspiration.Last year a one of the police kindly laid down on the ground while my offsider held a gun on him while we "stole" his squad car from the Waipu police station for one of the photo tasks, so when he says that they have a good relationship with the police you can most definitely believe it.So if you haven't got your tickets, grab one before they all go, you won't regret it!!!

      Hope to see you there!!!
      Kevin

      Ps Merlin is sitting here crapping crawdids because he bought his car ticket this morning and only saw this thread just now!!

      Pretty sure it's only $65 for bikes?

      Anyway, I'll be entering so if anyone needs a team mate I'm keen (have no mates of my own you see...)

      Hey Guys!

      The treat me thing was for car entry which was on special at $59 down from $125 - we are now holding the biggest cannonball to date!

      Bike tickets are on the site at $65 per bike - separate from cars as the sticker packs are less extensive and we'l do you smaller mission books so you can tuck em in your jacket also because you can fit 2-4 people in 1 car so 1-2 per bike seems fair

      Again this is the first year we are open to bikes as we had some interest when we started advertising so we have thrown it together pretty quick! but mostly its exactly the same as the cars ( prizes etc are different)

      Ticket sales close on the 20th of Dec ( so we know how many sticker packs/ mission books to print up for ya) so dont miss out !

      Yeap, although that acronym just sounds so very wrong so we're making our team name the "nooblet biker nursery team". Now quickly off to register it before someone tries to steal it!

      Worried? I just went to Vaughan's house and demanded my money back. Guess I'll go back tomorrow and pay again....
