Sunday 12th August - Interclub/InterMarque Minis vs MG Motorkhana
Where: 1/25 Kitchener Rd, Pukekohe behind Customkit Buildings (Kitchener Rd is opposite the main gates to the Pukekohe Racetrack, Roger Gill Mitsubishi on the corner). Please make your way directly to the venue.
This is a joint event being run by the MG Car Club assisted by MCCoA. Darryl Bretherton of MGCC has organised the MSNZ Permit and will be the CoC in control of the event on the day. Sign in & documentation @ 10am followed by driver briefing then the first run @ 11am - will break for a BBQ lunch @ 12noon (which is included in the entry fee) and continue for the afternoon.
Cost: $20 per driver - please note that you must be a paid up member of a MSNZ Affiliated club to compete. MCCoA members who haven't renewed for 2017/2018 can pay your subs on the day, please see Kevin T. Note that we can invite prospective club members to take part without paying the club membership.
The event is run on good smooth concrete which won't hurt your Mini (however if you hit the building or container alongside you'll be in trouble with the landlord) - if you haven't done it before, please don't be scared to come along and have a go. No special equipment is needed in your Mini, just pump up your tyres and away you go (or watch who is letting down their tyres and find out why!)
The club will be putting on a BBQ lunch and there are plenty of shops & cafes close by if you need a coffee fix to keep you going through the day - there are also tea & coffee making facilities available at the venue. It would be great to have a couple of non competing members to help out with the BBQ etc. Or if you just want a day out please come and support your club as a spectator. Doesn't matter if it's raining as there are plenty of covered areas at the venue to provide shelter.
Minis Waikato have been invited to join us although they do have another event on the day - but it may be postponed if the weather is too wet.
