October will be the enduro round, We will run a 45 minute mini-enduro on Sunday afternoon

The Karts will also be running on Saturday, do feel free to take a look on the Saturday as there should be good numbers for the Briggs kart event.

Sunday - Arrive before Noon

1pm Riders Briefing

Sheduled start time is 3pm but will be earlier if the schedule runs ahead.

45 minutes for us, as previous years.
We’ll need to pit on the tarmac, the concrete chute will be in use throughout the day.

Teams can only include ONE A-grade rider, who can ride solo but will need to complete an extra task to cover the compulsory rider change that the other teams will need to perform.

Entry is $40 for members and $50 for non-members*

Riders must have full protective leather, (Zip together or one-piece), an approved full face helmet, leather gloves, back protector and sturdy boots.

We are located just off SH2, in Kaitoke, Upper Hutt, Wellington.

From Upper Hutt go North on State Highway 2, through Te Marua (Golf Club and Speedway) up Kaitoke Hill.

You will pass over Kaitoke Hill which crests with a double lane and then descends into a dip. On the right at this point is a road exit with a direction sign for the Pakuratahi Forest. On racedays, we will have a trailer out helping you spot the exit.

Take this exit and turn left to find the kart club about 700 metres down the road.

Enduro rules:

Teams can consist of either:

A-Grade rider and B-grade Rider.
2x B-Grade riders.
Solo rider (Ironman).

A pit stop is compulsory for all teams, teams with 2 riders must change over during the pit stop.
During this change one of the riders must run from the pit pane to the front gate, touching the gate before returning. During the run the bike must be stationary in pit lane.
Solo riders need to complete TWO runs to the gate.

The definition of an A-grade rider is at the sole descretion of event officials.
If in doubt about this please ask. The idea for this rule is to foster newer riders, taking the piss here is poor sportsmanship.

We will run a le-mans style start.
This will be covered with a briefing on the day.

All other normal rules still apply.

I'm guessing it would depend on if the kart schedule runs on time, no harm in asking. I sure you could get a few extra laps in before anyone noticed tho

We've always been scheduled for 45mins, there is a chance it could go longer if everything is running very smooth on the day but absolutely no promises there.

[koba]

eat a pie, skull a beer???

I don't think we'd get away with that one!

It's a run to the gate annd back twice.
Doesn't sound hard but it really is quite a task after a few laps, uphill in leathers.
