and don't get me started on the old CA bedford I had back in the 70s,Don't remember what I paid for that,But if it was more than $10 I was robbed,Still atleast if you forgot to close the front doors you could just jump on the brakes and they slid closed,Anybody else remember Jimmy Steadmans Thames with a MK2 Zephyr motor in it???? These young fellas don't know theyre alive LMFAO.

Hey, my CA cost me $250! Topped out at 60mph. Did a road trip in it and sold it to my mate who immediately rolled it! It was a good van, at least it was a step up from the Bradford...

Fixed. You're welcome.

All of the on track photographer spots are taken. If you were hoping to get on track to take photos you're too late getting in touch.

On another note: We still have ZERO entries in the Open F1/F2 support class. If we don't get some VERY soon we will scrap it. If you're thinking about it - think quick!

See the first post for details of the programme etc. Remember to get yourself sorted on Friday as we are on track at 8:30!

**Skunk** · 11th March 2013, 10:39

Entries for all classes close this Thursday. Several classes do not have enough entries to run.
Pull finger or pay the penalty!

**Skunk** · 17th March 2013, 20:53

We are still accepting entries in all classes until Tuesday at 12 noon. Please use the online entry form to ensure we get your entry. Late fee may apply.

And don't forget to leave some time for Friday evening to come along to The Shed and meet the public, tell them about yourself and how good you are.
Bring some posters and a Vivid to give away to the kids big and small.

"All of the on track photographer spots are taken" !!!!!!??????
Really? VMCC needs to wise-up! Skunk, this stinks!

I did email the VMCC President but did not get a reply. AMCC, on the other hand, posted photographer passes to me even before I made a request.

The NZ Motorsport Year Book has featured my motorcycle racing photos - not from VMCC Taupo this time, it seems

.

Choppa, unfortunately I will not be taking photos of you, and others, in action like this:

We have wised up.
We don't need every person with a camera wandering about as they please on the infield during Nationals. This is wise.
We have a lot of distractions to the task at hand with 'photographers' doing all sorts of stupid stuff. This is not aimed at you or anyone in particular. It is one of five reasons the numbers are limited.
If you have a complaint try directing it to the club.
