I think MNZ and MCI should be congratulated on the marketing for this years event. I've heard several ads on The Rock, seen several TV ads, (which must be on around 6 to 8 coz thats the only time I'm around the TV), and theres a big bill board on at least one major road into Christchurch. No doubt there's something in the papers too. Well done!

Not gonna give too many details on todays performances.......... but it remained dry (but **** cold) for most of the day. All qualifying was completed. F3/protwin - sidecars - 125 had their first races............then the rain set in at 5.30. So streetstock/motards/clubmans will have all their races tommorrow. If the weather holds up it should be a busy day!
Sorry no result details but it would take ages and i,ll let everyone tell their own tales later. Think all up to date results are on mylaps.

What will happen if the weather doesn't? Hopefully it will clear in the morning and we will have an awesome day of racing.

It was a bloody cold day, didn't get over 13 degrees but the wind chill felt like 5 degrees, hate to think what temperature the track was even without the rain.

Might give a kiwi a shot at the win

The track had a lot more grip than I thought it would right up to the point we had the light rain a few laps in and then it got very slippery
