Photo by Tania Allingham as a few of the teams make their way south. The road is pretty rough apparently. Craig Horn emailed me to say he smashed two wheels/tyres on his trailer after going through a huge pothole on the St Arnard road.

Thanks to Alison Hogg from Media 77 for the awesome pics from the HMC/HSC Saturday races at Timaru.

Alison has taken some truly amazing photos from Saturday of our first event of the South Island tour.
I had a great time and all the guys and their families also enjoyed themselves.
The hosts put on a fantastic meeting.
Thank you and good luck for next weekend at Teretonga.... I will miss you all.

Cheers

To all the HMC teams that came south to Teretonga for last weekend's racing, THANK YOU.
What an awesome weekend! The weather was perfect and the HMC show was brilliant! The cars were all beautifully presented, and the drivers and crews, really friendly.
I couldn't believe how sparse the spectators were, but that was great for those of us that were watching, as you could go anywhere you wanted, and get a perfect view. Those that didn't go, missed a real treat.
Thanks again to everyone involved with the tour south, and I hope you can come back some time.

My photographic skills pale in comparison to the pictures above, but I took a few happy snaps of all the racing last weekend. If anyone is interested, they can be seen here https://www.flickr.com/photos/130757521@N07/albums/72157680457224066
Cheers,
Bob.

Hi Richie, thanks for being a part of the tour. We really enjoyed having you run with us. Too bad you couldn't do Teretonga, but I hope you had a good time anyway.

It was great to meet you Richie and it was great to have you on board. Come to MG at Manfeild this year as it is a fantastic meeting.
