GETTING THERE
Railways have offered us a discount for
the Ferry Crossing & we will be driving down.
Last year 4 cars drove to CH CH for a Ruapuna
Track Day, we all said we had as much fun on the drive down &
back as we did at the Track so this event is really much more
than just 3 Race Tracks.
Gary is on the 8.25am Ferry on 1/4/09 &
travelling via Nelson & the West Coast, including the Pancake
Rocks, Franz Joseph & Fox Glaciers, Haast Pass, Milford Sound,
Wanaka & Queenstown en route to Invercargill.
Tony is on the 10.35am Ferry on 1/4/09
going through to CH CH for 1 night then on to Queenstown for a
couple of days & meeting up with Gary & any followers
on the way to Invercargill on Sat 4 April
Form Invercargill Tony is going to Milford
Sound on the way to Timaru & Gary is taking the inland Route
past Lakes Pukaki & Tekapo etc.

SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS
Levels Racetrack at Timaru started life
“out in the country” but now has a number of neighbours. As a
result the track can only be hired 75 days per year & they
have a few rules they must abide by, including running all events
under Motorsport NZ rules. Those rules flow on to us & must
be respected. As a result the following must be complied with
& it really isn’t difficult.
- Noise levels must not exceed 95.0dBA
(That’s fairly loud)
- Helmets must meet Motorsport NZ Current
standards. These can be found in the Motorsport manual or if
you are entering & unsure if your helmet is OK let us know
the numbers on it, usually located inside the lining or on the
neck strap.
- Overalls must be CLEAN & Fire Retardant
or Self Extinguishing. 100% Cotton is deemed self extinguishing.
(Poly Cotton blends do not comply) Enclosed footwear must be
worn.
- A Fire Extinguisher, minimum 1kg Powder
or 1 ltr Foam securely mounted in the vehicle with a metal bracket.
(Super Cheap Autos have these for around $30.00)
- Oil catch can, this is mainly for modified
cars as most standard vehicles vent the crank case back into
the air intake system, any vehicle venting the crank case to
the atmosphere must be fitted with an oil catch can.
- Secured Battery, factory metal brackets
are fine unless your car has a modification that requires something
more.
Scrutineering at Levels will be done by
Levels scrutineers as per their request; this will not be hard
but a general safety check. As your car will either be up to race
or WOF standard there should be no problem.
This
promises to be a great week so book soon to ensure your place!
