As above, round 3 happening Auckland anniversary weekend at Mercer - 5 minutes drive south of bombay hills on SH1. Turn off at Service Centre (Mobil station/McD's/Pub/etc), across Waikato river and Site should be well visible - less than 1 minutes drive from SH1. Excellent spectator viewing. Bound to see some ORE members competing

)

I'll pick one out during the day, as its Auckland and theres bound to be plenty of camera talent walking around.

If Wopass goes, hes usually good at finding the gems with his camera.

I can just see it now,

"hey you, yes you over there in the CFM boots and the little short mini skirt and white singlet hiding the double Ds. thats right, I'm talking to you. that ugly bald man over there covered in mud by the black rally truck, wants to hook up with you, can you meet him behind the 3rd portaloo on the left in 10 mins"
