I will be there but will be out of pre65 classics, I don't have a car they are all in pieces.

I’m sure we can find some sort of pre ‘65 for you to run, I will have a search.

[HBMRC - Hawkes Bay, NZ]

Thanks Pat, sorry about the nerf in 65-85, the new wide car went well, now I’m too scared to paint it in case I spoil it’s poise.

A reminder to all locals that the shed is open tomorrow afternoon, both tracks are working.

Bronwen says if is not  a men only gathering, the BMW group are coming with partners, but whatever fits your circumstances.

cheers Peter

Not an issue for me, as long as he/they don’t immediately beat me.

I really need to get that 55 chevy up and running again

 

There is a track in Bay View if it needs test running.

Yeah I'd be open to a control tyre /wheels for the legends. ( if open we'd all chuck F1's on I'm sure )

I’m sure there are a few of those NSR rims we used to run on the Fly Capris that could be repurposed.

[HBMRC - Hawkes Bay, NZ]

I’m in.

Thanks Pedro for a cool night. 

I reckon you keep filling the shed to distract us from the racing...  well it worked for me

 I've got no idea what was going on over here

I think there are some pretty dodgy types hanging jin that shed. I had better sort out a security team and get them painted to keep order.

Bahia Vista is open for racing this week.

I think we are trying to start a little earlier so doors open when 1st person arrives, I guess that could be me.

Week 4

1 NASCAR/Classic NASCAR

2 DTM [Deutsche Tourenwagen Meisterschaft 1984 - 1996]

   Replaced with Pioneer Legends round #1

3 Group 5

I will give the track a good clean and get some sneaky practice in.

If he wants to swap it out for a legit one, I brought in some spare motors

Which racing group do you think this is, swapping in a potentially slower motor does not compute.

[HBMRC - Hawkes Bay, NZ]

I should be there, cars may not be prepped.

[HBMRC - Hawkes Bay, NZ]

My legend needs a little more fine tuning, it looked like it was lifting the front due to extreme power in the 40k long can motor.

I will see if I can arrange a bit more church roof over the guide.

[HBMRC - Hawkes Bay, NZ]

I have looked back over the last several pages and it would normally be back at Bahia Vista this week coming, July 8.

However i have a busy/messed up week happening but I should be good to host on the 15th.

 

[HBMRC - Hawkes Bay, NZ]

It looks like it is safe for me to come this week, see you @ Oakland Raceway.

[HBMRC - Hawkes Bay, NZ]

Don’t you hate it when you turn up and no one else is there. It seems I was in Picton and the ferry I was booked on was due to leave Wellington. 
 

Currently in Wellington and nervous. I will decide on Thursday if I will attend Oakland.

60th birthday on the Sunday. 

While we are doing forward planning I have in mind to have drinks, nibbles and track(s) time at my place on  Sunday 1 August. (70th Birthday). Put it on your calendar if you’re interested.

That date works for Dave.  Who 's in? 

I’m in.

[HBMRC - Hawkes Bay, NZ]

Sounds good Mac, I don’t always know what to adjust, and the order of adjustment when a car is not behaving.

[HBMRC - Hawkes Bay, NZ]

Trip going well so far, great fun in Nelson, I highly recommend putting Tony’s race meetings on the TOP of the “to do list”.

Not back this week, or next week or.......

I am very tempted to join you in 2022. 

The NSR Challenge is on in October.

[HBMRC - Hawkes Bay, NZ]

seems like week 3.
 

Week 3

1 Aussie V8

2 Fly Classics 

3 LMP

[HBMRC - Hawkes Bay, NZ]

It seems like we were just at Bahia Vista but I thought to see if we want to return this week.

I leave next weekend for Nelson followed by a road trip further south. We don't have a schedule beyond racing in Nelson, but I expect to be away for 4 or 5 Thursdays minimum.

[Pioneer Legend build for wood track]

Interesting, thanks Mark. I checked my cars (4) and all the chassis are visually flat and I didn’t have any problems with wheels not touching done.

HOWEVER my work in progress white kit, which thanks to your article, I checked before assembling the chassis, is nowhere near flat and so currently getting the hot water treatment.
