[puddytat]

do you know where Waimate is?

Head South until you hear a very faint Banjo sound then turn inland

Mate,Pukekohe meeting compared to Waimate street race? do you know where Waimate is? Cant see many from up there coming down even if Puke wasnt on.

It would have been fun. But with Pukekohe one weekend, then off to Perth for a week, back for Hampton Downs for the nationals then fly out to race at Barry Sheene Festival at Eastern Creek, I doubt I could fit it in.
Maybe next year.

The roads in Waimate are real wide and will be ideal for that sneaky pass without too much risk. Ideal for the sidecars and those mad as motard boys who seem to have a go at passing anywhere.(Or so i hear lol) I was lucky enough to be a part of the organizing and have been around the course a few times already.Track looks awesome. Should be a great outing.

Is it going to be the same track used for the recent car racing?Which was also a great day out.

Now, that makes me laugh out loud!

My goal for 2011 is to do at least one race in the South Island. Would be awesome! I'd like to try Ruapuna and maybe Greymouth or Waimate if the weekends work out. I looked at the govt map for Waimate. I did not recognise anywhere/anything near it! Need to look into this further. What is the nearest city?

What is the nearest city?

Above sea level or below?

If you got to www.redlineracing.co.nz there is details of the classes in the downloadable entry and a map of where Waimate is as well.
According to the map Waimate is half way between Timaru and Oamaru.(About 35-40 mins from both.)
It is above sea level. I know this cause i dont have gills and can still get to one of the 7 pubs the town has to offer without swimming. However Crawling does come into it on odd occasions.lol
The curcuit is not the same one the cars used but does use about 20m of where their start line was.
Should be a map of the curcuit on the redline website soon. Very wide and a bit of everything.

Hey Spyda .......... long way to go before all the tracks in your book are up and running ............. but at least the south island is trying eh.

Back to the good old days of racing on sat- party on sat nite- racing on sun. Just like it oughta be

If you don't get enough sidecars to run a class....and personally I doubt if you will...what about a BEARS class instead ? You should know if the chairs are go by the Sound of Thunder and if you've got to, ask for BEARS entries at the SoT.
Yes, W, i know you'll read this - do you think they'll get enough chairs ?
Loved the sound of banjos - maybe that's the name for this meeting....
