For whom the bell tolls
I *might* be making the trip to taupo to watch/video/join in the fun at the track day. If anyone else is going to be heading down first thing sunday morning might pay to go as a group just to keep company and make sure no one is nodding off.
I'll be leaving the north shore at approx 5.30am, so if anyone else in auckland wants to meet up, now would be a good time to tell me

It's better to not pass and know that you could have than to pass and find out that you can't. Wait for the straight.

meet in tirau bout 0615?
im guessing its around half way. Seeing that its 297km from my house to spa road (the turn off to the track) that would see me leaving here at around 0500 and travelling at a conservative 100kmh the whole way, taking 3hrs to get to taupo (just in time for scrutineering)

PM Death for the exact details.

might need to be a tad later than 0615, i think it takes 1.5hrs to cambridge. Either way, tell me what time you reckon you will be in tirau and i'll aim to be there at the same time.

what time do you fellas think you will be through Hamiltown and can I jump on the back of this cute wee train?

JSG- you are queer.
Jahrasti, hamiltron is bout 1.5hr from aucks on the main line, so if your out and ready at 6 (looks like im leaving here at 4.30) then im sure we can catch up somewhere.
Im gonna be going down SH1 the whole way, so if you give me a street near where you will be i can look on wises.co.nz and have a good idea of where to look out for you.

Thanks guys but I'm not getting up that early. I'm leaving Tauranga about 6.30 if anyones keen. Hope the weathers good cos its shit right now.
Forum whore
That would imply Averaging 100 kph, which means travelling at 130 - 140kph!
Allow 4 hrs if you're not in a hurry

I fuelled up at AutoBahn... then again at Cambridge then Taupo.
(9.5 litre tank... 200km approx before going to reserve...)
For whom the bell tolls
