Lets wait for Hamiltonians to figure out when they want to reach the track, and we'll work out our probable meeting time based on that. Any other Aucklander keen on coming along?

[yorick]

Us Southern Waikato types will meet everyone at the Old TeAroha Road intersection. What time are we gonna land there.

Nine at the intersection or nine for leaving comfy Hamilton???

Might be good time to test some things as well. Track sounds easier than ever.

[tintin]

[coxsy]

my easter 4x4 plan died, will join you guys , will see you when i get down there

[xj]

(right guys........... shhhhhhhhhhhhhh............ dont tell coxy, We'll now meet at 8.... shhhhhhhh)

Brent.. seeing as how you bought it up, it was a CHICK in a JEEP that pulled you up the hill..... remember????? I wasnt going to mention it at all.

Has anyone invited Jerry to be our onsite tow hook inspector? After all, noone will be allowed to come if they dont have rated tow hooks.... [tui ad]

We're looking like we'll have to head up in two groups anyway, or perhaps split at the play areas...

[coxsy]

if you think this old man is getting up a sparrows fart to get there by 9 its not going to happen

[TJ]

136km from Manukau - 7.30am through at latest ??

I would say even then it would be touch and go for 0900 at the track. Some of the roads are less than 100 km/hour speeed area. I don't mind meeting up at the BP gas station by the Southern Motorway around 0715 hours. If we get to the track early, we can have an early start back home in the evening (or more fun time).

I was going add that the jeeps passenger sat down to pee - but I didn't want anyone to think that is wasn't your wife driving
