I'll have space for one other (including bike) and will be tavelling up from Wellington.

Day license (must belong to a MNZ club). Turn up with cash and an entry (not available yet).

If any of you Southerners need to stay in Wellington let us know. We'll sort you out.

Well, Hotel de Skunk has full beds already, but the lounge floor is still free.

We can hotel one (or a loving couple

) in our spare room plus room for a bike or 2 in Nudey Garage.

I'll have to offer spare rooms to Tony & clan 1st option, but otherwise I'll have some space.

**Skunk** · 11th July 2008, 18:27

Both. Best to pre-enter. No entry form available yet.

Yep the Gp is to be run at Taupo this year, and is to be a national event. Word is we a looking at a 20-25 lap race. ( That should cook a few of the two strokes ). Expect a large field, That should make the first corner interesting

To be confirmed By Mr. Lawrence
1. The race may be held on Saturday because of the time restrictions on Sunday

2. There may be a separate, shorter race for the F5's.

I may hear from Chris soon with more info. I'll pass it on as it comes to hand.

This is going to be a blast, I can't wait. The meeting of the year for us that's for sure.

Cheers
Steve

20-25 laps... but how big are the laps?
put another way how long is the race to be?
