Maybe Henk could recommend some corner ports. I nice skulling blend. Just remember Saturday night is usually worth minus half a second on race day.

Mr Henk and other organiser type people do you have a programme of events laid out? Presume it is going to follow the format of past events.

In particular what time is sign on Saturday?

Yes there is, we sent a copy of the menu to MNZ with the permit application, I don't have a copy but somebody else might post it.
Will be much the same as last year, sign on probably about 9
Come Friday night and bring something Belgian.

Hummmm Belgian...

Come Friday night and bring something Belgian.

Trying to plan that now, but also trying to develop a back up. My issue is work is nuts (would have liked to take some time off this week but that doesn't look like it will happen), parents are flying out to the US (some logistical issues there), and the Monday after I fly out to Wellington for two nights (apparently I am expected to spend some time with the family, WTF?).

Hummmm Belgian...

Very nice. But I am realistic, I doubt I could keep up. This is more my level of Belgian

You would get fit trying though I've got a good story to tell you over a beer...

[Henk]

Provisional plan for the weekend below, will be confirmed Saturday. As usual sign on will start when we get organised which may be early or late.

Also I've heard a whisper that people may be trying to enter both formula Tokoroa and the GP. Pick one or the other, Formula Tokoroa was intended as a B grade, it has turned into the sandbaggers cup for people who can't be bothered spending the extra $50, it is not going to be extra free track time. I'm probably suffering the worst case of no sense of humour of all the AK organising guys at the moment but if anybody starts pushing it this weekend there is a good chance you will be pointed at the gate.

That's right. If you think you might want to turn up and support the event, perhaps pay an entry and help make the event financially viable ...

Unfortunately the extra $50 goes straight to MNZ.

Here's a tip. Bacon and eggs. Breakfast of champions.

A pie will do in a pinch but you might only get a third or something that feels like losing.

So just to recap. Bacon and eggs. Avoid sausages unless they are gourmet.
