Driver Season Calenders (Read 1,402 times)

[greg]

With most clubs having released their Calenders now it would be good to see what some of the drivers draft schedules are. Always gives an indication of what events to attend.

I see Strata Racing have been one of the first to release their schedule and looks like a very busy season for them, great to see them getting out their to suppport their neighbouring tracks.

Any other drivers got theirs, Murray I read on here somewhere you plan to do 61 events

[Murray Guy (Grandad)]

Here you are Greg ... a busy season with a few excellent highlights, incl. Nth vs South Saloons in November, DHL Series,
Saloon NZ Champs, North Island Champs and NZGP. Easter is always awesome at Meeanee and Rotorua.
Hopefully we'll be invited and fit in a Saloon invitation at Gisborne.
Palmy is a must, sort out Hermo on his home track.
Hopefully fit in stratford at least a couple of times, chance to give Linda K. a hug!
18-20,000 kms of travel. 16 or so different tracks.

13 Oct HUNTLY OPENING

Will the media have to follow you that night as that when you become Tauranga's Mayor

[Murray Guy (Grandad)]

I have about as much chance of taking out the mayoralty as I have taking out the NZ Saloon Champs. One or both would be awesome to win, but I'm a realist, no corporate backers for this ol' racer, on or off the track! One thing I know, certainly can't win without trying. ;D Either way, we'll be in Huntly!

[alloyplatypus]

Does anyone know if there is a Baypark schedule out yet?

[mangles]

murray see there is a lot of good production saloon meetings this season. what about supersaloons.

[greg]

Yikes Murray I think we will need to change your nickname to the energiser bunny, thats one very full on Season. I think its great you have also made an effort to include the tracks that are struggling for Saloon numbers like Palmy, Napier, Stratford and to a certain extent KK.

Would certainly mean a lot of exposure for any sponsors that wanted to jump on board, I bet Valvoline are happy.

If you ever wanted to add even more to your schedule Im sure Waharoa would be happy to give you a blast, a friendly old school track. Bit tight for Saloons but Tony Heuvel, Rossco, Kevin Belk, Pat McGrath and Geoff Fletcher have all managed to get round without to many problems at various times.
