NIMM '08 - October 17th, 18th, 19th - Page 18

So the long term weather forecast isnt looking brilliant...

Lets hope that because its only monday, their guesses as to what the week is like is incorrect! Taupo usually puts on a good show for NIMM.

GecKo · 13th October 2008, 08:01 PM

I've updated the entrant list. There's a few spots left in one of the beginners sections. If they don't fill we'll split up the two beginners on the day.

i call bollocks!

Snoozin · 14th October 2008, 09:41 AM

Wish I could drive/had a car that was worthwhile driving.... damn it. Would hit one of the beginner spots SO hard.

Fingers crossed for excellent weather.

GecKo · 14th October 2008, 10:02 AM

Oh noes. Still a few days out

Better there and dirty as than not there at all I say

XPLOIT · 14th October 2008, 02:05 PM

I still havnt cleaned my car.... Apparently there is chronic road works all the way up the east coast (SI)

Will get onto it tomorrow - Got a day off work to get shit done!

Demon · 14th October 2008, 02:08 PM

yeh ill give mine a clean tomorrow after work.....

RJ · 14th October 2008, 02:09 PM

If I was some of you way out of towners I wouldn't bother washing your car until you got to Taupo!

XPLOIT · 14th October 2008, 02:11 PM

Im doing it before, during and after

Demon · 14th October 2008, 02:11 PM

dont panic RJ, we are bringing a bucket and wash stuff to clean them when we get there

BWDOWN · 14th October 2008, 03:05 PM

Well my EK9 is back so road trip is on!!!!

XPLOIT · 14th October 2008, 04:03 PM

Mint bro!

Keep me informed of what your plans are

Green Machine · 14th October 2008, 04:16 PM

So are we all meeting up after the track day for dinner at like breakers or something?

Trivium · 14th October 2008, 06:04 PM

Updated forcast on the news is for heavy rain on Friday, showers all Sat and clearing on Sun...will make for some intresting track times

Green Machine · 14th October 2008, 06:33 PM

So what would be better on a wet track, normal road tyres or Yokohama advan semis?

RJ · 14th October 2008, 06:55 PM

It depends how wet it is. I've raced down at Taupo in the wet on street tyres then changed to semis and found I had far more grip. There's so many variables though.
If it is wet or damp you just seem to find the sweet spot with regards to how hard you can push etc.

Yes it's the usual Friday night Breakers hangout, get on it, have a feed etc.

GecKo · 14th October 2008, 07:28 PM

Alright guys. I'm going to have no internets from tonight till I get home on Tuesday, unless I steal someone elses on the trip somewhere (Damn work haven't got me an iPhone yet

).

Please everyone try and be at the track as EARLY as possible. We want to have every car checked out before 9am, and be racing by 9:15am. The people settings up will generally be there around 7am. We've got a much more indebth indemnity form thanks to Kiwi XTR2, which will take you longer to fill out.

If you're smart however you'll download it from here first, and bring it to the day.

Should be an awesome few days!

Looks like the playday indemnity form =D Is there scrutineering this year or is it self-scrutineering like Playday?

tysonzane · 14th October 2008, 08:35 PM

Yay looking forward to NIMM.

I'll be there with my film crew, filming a bit of a NZH doco. So if you see the 3 of us (2 guys and a girl) come along and say hi and if you're keen we'll do a quick interview on you to get your perspective of the club and why you are apart of it etc.

Should be a good day at the track and i'm looking forward to the drive down and back

Ask Gary or Tony @ PlayDay who wrote that one

VTAKYO · 14th October 2008, 09:19 PM

Self-scrutineering... unless you have a log-book fuck off, lol. Don't know what kind of muppet came up with that idea.

Will see what mechanics or bright minds are there on the day to do it

. Unless anybody is wanting to put their hand up prior to the event. Just no leaks, dead brakes, cracked helmets, bald tires or non-DOT slicks, expired or unsecured harnesses, loose objects etc. Common sense really.

brenth · 14th October 2008, 10:05 PM

Sorry if this has been answered already but are we getting our 'race packs' on the day?
