Events

So, you want to race your car around a track?  Here’s your chance….

Due to a myriad of other events taking place so close to each-other, numbers for the oldschool.co.nz Trackday are on the low side.  If you have an older car and want an opportunity to go faster than you’re legally allowed to on the road, then go here;

☺oldschool.co.nz Nationals 2010, 26-28 Feb ☺

It’ll be a blast, I’m sure.  Though it won’t happen if the numbers aren’t there to pay for the track.  So please if you are willing and able to join in on the fun, please do so.

If I had infinite money and storage space, building something like this would be high on my list of things to do.

Oh yes.

Although I probably wouldn’t go the RB 6cyl route like most – instead I’d fit a VH41DE V8… voila, instant tow wagon with some grunts! Mash on a GTS-X front, possibly investigate converting to an IRS rear end, hit up R31HOUSE for some other bits and pieces… ah yes, one can dream.

red one!

silver!

We’re Back!

January 19, 2010

Not even sure what the problem was but it seems to have either magically fixed itself or they did something at the host end. Hopefully the latter as at least that way if it happens again then there’s somewhere to go to, to get it fixed. I’ll get onto getting some photos and the likes of the weekend nonsense sorted out and posted shortly. In the mean-time here’s this;

NZV8's- Teretonga CRC200

These cars might as well be classed as “retro” or “classic” the technology they utilise is certainly nothing special.  Got a carb’d 8 much?

Hilarious really.

Real post coming up…

Multi-Club Meet, CHC

January 18, 2010

This meeting of many clubs took place on Sunday, the build-up for it indicated that it may well have blown up t epic proportion and when I viewed some of the photos from it just now I was amazed not just by the number of cars that showed but by the diversity.  Of all the events that took place over this weekend, I think this would have been the one to attend, were it possible.  Enough blather from me though, check it out for yourself;

I’ve included some more pictures in the post as well as a link to the thread and photo galleries available so far, at the bottom of the post.

Big Weekend Ahead.

January 15, 2010

Nothing to really update today other than to say that there’s going to be a myriad of shenanigans taking place through-out the country this weekend and we at RC should have evidence of it next week.  So keep coming back to check out entries from the following events;

Auckland:

Kumeu Hot Road Show

Japanese Classic Meet

Christchurch:

Multi-Club Meet and Cruise

As well as few other updates from other goings on, I’m sure.  Next week should be riddled with magical photographs.  See you then!
