Now that Tokoroa is done and dusted I guess I should start pushing Taumarunui.
7 8 Jan.
Completely different bucket of fish from Toke, the track isn't as spectacular but is still a lot trickier than google earth would lead you believe, the sweeper for one is fast (pinned in fifth) and not easy to get right. The setting on the other hand is spectacular, it's like a DOC campground with a race track, complete with a swimming hole about 150m back up the river.
All the usual ammenities (for a NI round) are provided, i.e somewhere to put your tent, loos a barbecue, fridges and a stove this time.
The address is Body road Manunui About 2km down the highway across to Turangi.
Usual fees apply $40 entry, $40 day licence, $10 transponder hire and $10 if you need to buy a clip.
Practice Saturday, qual Sunday and then three races, shorter track so probably 10 20 30 laps for A grade and 10 15 20 for B although we may change our minds on the day.
Please be more than normally patient with the lap scorers this time since it will probably be me and I'll be making it up as I go along.
You are welcome to turn up Friday and folks have stayed over until Monday before now.
Please take your rubbish home same as usual.
We've had a play on the motard section before now but if you want to do that let me know ahead of time and make sure you have bucket level track protection.
