The Roaring Season

Thanks Paul........ I found this interesting ............. Grant

Hi guys, just had inky and the rest of the endurance clan iat levels.a dnf for inky and grant aitken while leading, with a broken input shaft.what a machine this is, isnt what you would call a loud car, more sounds like an earthquake coming up behind you, withits own distinct notehad inky in the commentary box with me and filled me in a bit on it, it is called a "sireni camaro" built in germany, by the reiter company.7.9 litre,700 hp, paddle shift(which he said is magic).abs, traction control, only 4 built in the world,2 more being built.he plans on running it in the aussie gt championship.qualified only a couple of tenths behind baird in the porsche, which inky was surprised at, as levels is tight and short, well done inky and crew

I got some moulds for Starlet/Chevette same as on Freeths car

[color="#0000FF"]No, more likely to go auto at my age! Would still have to overcome the existing issue of getting most of the MSNZ rules changed so it looks doomed to be another 'what if' venture...need the building foam slabs for other things anyway.[/color]

Any way back to Inky, would expect improvement in times as Inky gets used to the car as he is an exceptional driver and lets hope silly little things like selection problems are sorted quick. Bet it sounds the part, sure looks it.

Would not be Air New Zealand then as the last Jumbo was a week or so back...

With paddle shift it was likely electrical, got enough wiring inside to run a small town by look of pics...

Jac, they must have been the only couple, as he's gone and the other crap along with him. Perfect scenario would be a Jumbo hauling his fat arse and the other crap out of Mangere, who cares to where.

[color="#0000FF"]Non- starter in 3 hr, gearbox selection issues according to sth is endurance series facebook page, best time in early practice was 1 min 1.269 sec IIRC which was 2 secs slower than fastest Porsche at that time.. Brilliant weather down here, lots of folk out voting for Dot Com!! [/color]

As you know 928, yes it predates permits as do all bar Hampton Downs. As you also know there is no consistent method used. We know it's available, just that it's not used, perhaps different councils don't want to use the "standard". Let's not re-start this debate, it goes nowhere.

They have a good website - this is interesting. http://springsspeedway.com/news/articles/2014/3/17/why-do-cars-get-sent-off-for-noise

Sorry, I cannot help with hours of operation at the springs

Western Springs is a very interesting subject and have read a lot about past protests.
What is the current position about permissible hours of operation?

Thanks for that, is there a form of permit issued by local authorities that allows the use of motorsport venues?
