we can have a chat to him when we get there and get him to space his group out accordingly, or if theres some real virgins there, then they can go between 2 of us or something like that.

[taz01]

Hello All

I am the organiser for the Coastguard Rally.

We do have tough trucks to get shiny's out of the sand and mud and shingle, but any extra help will not be turned away.

Went over the track on Sunday just gone and the owner of one of the stations has said that it is fine with them if you want to make some new tracks through the shingle slide. There are a few areas to get muddy in and a water hole for those in need of a quick dip.

Feel free to ask questions.

We are also going to have a raffle for a trip on the Spirit of Wellington for $10 a ticket. Usually to go on the Spirit you have to be a coastguard member or someone we have just rescued.

we will make ourselves known to you at the registration thingy in Featherston and if you need our services, we'll be able to sort something out.

I can't see it being too much of a problem, but if theres some complete novices there, then you can slot them in between 2 experienced drivers and it should be all good.

looking forward to nice drive, hope the weather is brilliant too

[Sadam_Husain]

Its limited to 100 vehicles and according to the top of the page theres already 65 registered so as long as more than 45 others dont turn up on the day you'll be right

[Bolo]

We are going to risk turning up on the day if the weather looks ok.

Its beside the Caltex petrol station on SH2 just before the Akatarawa Hill turn off

Thanks, will programme it into the GPS so I don't get lost. Will give the organisers a call beforehand to see if there is still room on Sat. night.
