so is this meeting still on the 20th? Been told that Stratty are looking at running their KOM meeting this night and that they have talked to Huntly about postponing the Waikato Champs??

If still one, what is the format?

[waewae]

if waikato mod champs will be anything like the 6/3/10 nights racing bring it on, thumbs up to the drivers and crews numbers were down but the racing was fierce, 64a grant harris and 56a paul blakeley choice. hard luck 78a ray chatfeild and 6a brian jesen breakdowns are a pregnant dog, and yes mod's do belong at huntly ;D

yes definatly racing on the 20th

can drivers email or ring / text if your racing

[e-mail] or 021362784

big support class , going to be a big night

have room in the corporate boxes , cheap night for your sponsers or family , great view , $20 with food and cash bar , $5 no food and cash bar

[Jamo]

Format looks very familiar ;D ;D

You may cop some grief about no repercharge though ;D ;D

Be interesting to see if qualifying is even necessary with 16 cars going directly to the final.

[h8racing]

if we get 20 cars on the night and after they have had 2 races each, i think we would be lucky to see 16 starters left

if we get more than 20 cars we can adjust the format to suit a little , but it goes the same way if we only get say 12 cars ,

had a talk at drivers briefing on saturday with the drivers and gave us there feedback to what format they would like to race , we used this feedback to workout what was a happy medium between drivers and running a busy night , there is also 2 other waikato championships that night , we are the top billing but also dont want to take any limelight or time away from the other two championship classes

one thing that came out from the drivers meeting was a pole shuffle , the crowd likes them and so do the drivers , so we are going to run a pole shuffle , at huntly we are trying to find a balance between running a good show and keeping fans and drivers happy

[Saloon29s]

Just to keep everyone informed, the King of the Mountain Modified Champs at Stratford have been rescheduled to April 10th.

[h8racing]

cheers for that

would of been a shame to have two big modified meets on the same night , both are going to be great meets to watch and race

any out of towners that are coming , can camp at the track no problem , if you want to arrive friday give me a text or call and i can arrange it

Posting on here won't get them to come Dean.

A few years ago they invented a little thing called a phone! ;D

If you need numbers let me know as I have all of them

[Jamo]

22r Dean Lloyd or Glen Lloyd??

[h8racing]

cheers jamo

i have text the rep at stratford a few times and rung him and spoken in length regarding the waikato champs over the last few weeks , text him again yesterday asking if there is anyone keen ,normally gets in touch with me straight away , must be busy or later today

i guess the stratford guys all know when its on ,been on our calender all year and have posted it on this site , have keeped there drivers rep informed , 12s jason is the only driver to get back to me so far

dont like the idea of going behind the drivers reps back and getting in touch with all his drivers individually , im sure he is keeping in touch with his drivers and maybe there is only one keen or they are just waiting on the day to see how the weather is

think in the mod class the majority confirm and there are a few who are keen but wait untill race day ....anyway we have a good number already


red and the team have spent the whole last weekend preparing the track and the team this week has been painting the walls and pole line ( will have no problems now grant ) and keeping the facilities up to a high standard , so its going to be a top track with lots of great supporting classes

[Jamo]

check your personal messages Dean.
