Does anybody know the Pole line/ wall distance difference between the two tracks.

According to SNZ site:
Palmy 431m pole line, 10m on straights and 12m corners
Springs 428m pole line, 10.8m straights, 16m corners

while I do like the Super Saloons WS is a bit tight for them?
From memory it was last time.

Does worry me every time classes from either side races at the others track, gives the idiots on the council the idea that the two tracks could be combined into one venue.

We do not want that.

Personally I believe the council would be happier with no venue

I remember seeing the saloons at WS many many years ago and it was not a pretty sight. They were awkward and slow, hopefully this time they make a better showing. Having seen them race at Palmy Teams and almost stealing the show, I hope they can produce another akwwardhref="http://postimage.org/"]

as much as i like the super saloons don't they always look like that no matter where they race. Was watching the elf cup on face tv Wednesday night and the just looked slow and odd. But they will be great to watch at W.S

Was a awsome show last time.I still have the gold cup in my shed with photo presented by denny hulme. Looking forward to seeing that again.

Yep my memory tells me that the Supers were entertaining at the Springs. Was it 1994 and either New Years eve or New Years day ?
Remember Skinny smoking around the outside line, Maurice Cowling running the inside. Formula 500's running also ?

Gold cup was held late eightys 89/90/91 I think? 94 was there another. King George won most titles that year but kevin fillingham won south Pacific gold cup. I can check date on cup but thought kf was sprintcars by 94.
