Too many gold passes perhaps?

I would also like to congratulate the team at Rotorua for the event they put on.
The main problem they seem to be facing is one of too many people. Not a bad problem to have.

not as big as the nz superstocks but its getting there 20 laps a race might do it

Thanks Graham, we thought you might parachute back down to add to the show.   Done deal for next year, now to get one of those commentators to do it as well then we can get the ball rolling. It will be a tandam jump however as I have never taken the drop out the plane option before. |

GH should really be made to wear a hat, pilot nearly got sunstrike from what I hear ;D ;D ;D ;D I tried mate but the pilot said seeing as I wanted the door off then the hat had to go too. Apologies to all those that looked skyward and had to see my horrid nude nut with the sun beaming off it  |

You probably shouldn't ask Sonja what she'd rather us two do GH - we might get the truth, and they say the truth hurts ;D |

Good on ya mate. Probably more exciting than the place going to the dogs haha. Actually thought they did quite well and of what I saw and the reaction from the crowd was better than sitting there looking at a vacant infield.
We also had some night time skyward after match entertainment which many of us had never seen before at our little function in the pits which I cant take any credit for, but none the less quite uinque and entertaining. Was all good fun and finished off a busy but great weekend.
Quote from the British sector "This could never happen in England".
Roll on World of Stocks.

Sometimes I think that the World 240 weekend is enough of a reason to move to Rotorua, loving it!! ;D Just thought I would pop a photo in here. The Bengston is a driver the boys really love to get in behind and support at meetings and make a hell of a racket for... Such great driving ability in both individual and Teams racing. Watching him race at Rotorua is the sweetest part! Did us proud and picked up a top 4. Good efforts. As usual he set aside the time for us and signed a few posters and shared a few laughs and memories.  L 2 R - KJ, Matt, Jamie |

Sonja H Hi Sonja, can you explain a little more about the skyward entertainment. I'm not sure if you are talking about the same thing as we saw from the top car park at 4am. |

what this after match skyward entertainment you speak of. We saw a bright light moving from left to right over Rotorua city. It didn't have any flashing lights like a plane or helicopter, so not sure what it was. |
