JANUARY 13th (This Weekend)

Have been to this advent the last three years and found it to be great fun.

Like the link says $70 bucks for a day pass, all you need is a helmet, the organizers are pretty laid back. B)

Sounds interesting, but sounds like it could also be a recipe for some fender benders due to the potentially large number of inexperienced people on the track at once.

Damn good price, though! Turn up with enough friends in similar cars and i guess you could get a group all to yourselves.

In previous years every body has been well behaved, its not a race per say, there is a staggered start with no timed laps, plus Pukekohe is a reasonably wide track, with two decent straights so generally powerful cars just blast past without a problem. The only corner I get scared on is the first one at the end of the front straight, but im chicken! :unsure:

I've driven Pukekohe before, in various vehicles as part of sponsored corporate race day - Mini Cooper, Porsche GT3, Integra, Celica. All track-spec, except the Mini which was stock - apparently it's the only (cheapish) stock car on the market that can handle it without boiling the brake fluid..?!

Anyway, the gita's not going on there, far too chicken mate! I sold my soul to buy this, I'll be damned if it's going anywhere without insurance!

C’mon people, there’s been a few Altezza’s there in previous years, I had a great battle with a RS200 last year in my Corolla, loads of fun, until he hit vvti halfway down the straight! Think of it as a club promotion opportunity :D .

Why are you not taking the Astra Turbo? :P
Depending on if any other members are taking their car on the track I'm more then keen to take my car for a blast with other Altezzas, if not I'll just take the batty down for my own fun haha.

Looking good for coming along to watch, but I'm still not taking it on the track!

Is there anyone else coming or is it just us three? Lonestar are you in?

The rain subsided, I ended up going for a few laps, great fun. The Astra’s performance was better that I expected, I saw just over 210kph down the back straight!

Dint see any Altezza’s on the track, heaps of drifters turned up though, saw a nice black Altezza in the grounds with chromes and a kit had and had tezclub stickers on it.

Picture Phone shot of me and a mates Astra’s.
