Wish Ferndene all the best. There is a lot of Sprinters lower north island that should be able to make it.
Seeing Sprintcars at Ferndene once and sh*t they were good.
Would be one of the better tracks in the north island for shear horse power,just lacks the facilities at the moment, but sure they will come.
I wonder if I buy the wife a Easter egg would she let me go.
Question can Sprinter run no mufflers at Ferndene?

[poppa51f]

hey there fearless, the homework we have done would indicate that there is a good number of sprintcar drivers around that are really interested in either returning or trying for the first time our track here. We have tried to set a date that would suit everyone, however as the old saying goes you cant please everyone. We do believe though that we can put together a good field for this meet. In answer to your question we have virtually no resource consent problems including noise, though i would need to check to confirm this, I believe cars could run without mufflers. cheers mike(poppa)sherning

Fearless if the wife lets you come have a look,ask in the pits for Hogie or Poppa I,m sure they will refund the cost of the Easter Egg or give you a replacement!!!!

[trucker400]

I,m sure we do have a council noise restriction but I think its the same as the Quarry has,measured from the boundary. That means we can make a bit more noise than at most tracks,but I think no mufflers would have us involved with Noise Control!!!

[poppa51f]

oops there you go, i stand correct ha ha. Still like trucker says we will cover the cost of the easter egg cheers poppa

[explosivered]

As long as Trucker goes shopping for the easter egg himself or his secretary can buy a big easter egg for herself when she goes shopping I'm sweet with it.
Hey fearless tell her there will be other females there, probably helping and around and its SPRINTCARS don't forget!!

I have run my midget a couple of times last season and 2 or 3 meetings this season with no muffler as such. Ferndene is where i learnt to race. Its a let your hair down track where politics are left at the main road and fun is the theme. Gear the car up. Hit the loud pedal and hold the Fk on. As for noise control, You get a warning first

[midget31s]

you should incorperate the CTRA nz midget title on this day to

[trucker400]

If you can find enough of them that will DEFINITLY come get them to ring or email Hogie or poppa and we will see where it leads,same race format as above.

[trucker400]

Ian Easton said yes pretty quick,and reports that his car is almost finished with its new frame,his body is not recovering as fast as it used to but he hopes to be cleared for Harrisville!!

We can at this stage pencil in the midgets as a support class,but if you have definte numbers p/m me with some contact details and we can discuss it.

[trucker400]

Can confirm that due to the amount off interest we will be running Midgets in support of the Sprintcars and provided we get enough confirmed numbers we will put the CTRA Title up for grabs with the same format as we will be using for the Sprintcars,the pole shuffle should be a new experience for fans and drivers!!!!!!!!! Anyone interested contact ; [e-mail] and we will email you an entry form.

[fearless]

How are the numbers adding up for Ferndene? Looking thru some old pictures and found a couple of Sprintcars when Ferndene opened. I think Kieth Simpson tiped it over on the southern bend.

[trucker400]

It has just been pointed out to me that the Entry Form says entrys close on the 7th ignore that and send your entry anyway we have a LARGE track and will fit you in!!!!

[Glenn, Ex 269s]

Would any of you Ferndene crew be able to give me a lift there and back from Inglewood on the 17th??, Thing is the missus will be working and cant take me and since i cant drive the short distance myself since my leg is still in a brace after my knee reconstruction (hence why i wasnt at the last committee meeting) and will be for a few more weeks yet, I'm stuck at home and going stir crazy, still i could hobble along the road on my crutches, just might take a couple of hours lol

[Prongtek]

Glen, Totally sorted dude, if I cant get away from the track to come and get you myself I will make sure someone comes and picks you up and my car will be parked at a premo viewing spot for your viewing comfort.

[explosivered]

I can pick you up Glenn. PM me your address save John or Hogie having to leave the track when busy to come get you.

[trucker400]

If you can handle sitting on a bar stool (no its not what you think) you can help in the Pit box, you didn't think you would get picked up for free did you?
