We Are Racing | Hampton Downs 19th September
Much work has been done behind the scenes with MSNZ and the NZ Govt to ensure we can still run the 1st round of the North Island Endurance series meeting at covid level 2.
We have a fantastic line up of quality car with better numbers than last year. With entries coming in every day we expect to have the best numbers possible for both the 1 & 3 hour events. Any information in yellow will need action, either membership, change of a race number for example. Please action before you arrive at Hampton Downs.
We are basically out of garages and Speedworks are in the process of allocating these. If you wish to be garaged with anyone in particular or have any specific requirements email Geoff now.
Remember, if you haven’t yet paid, your garage could be at risk of going to someone else. All entry fees need to be in by Monday 7th September.
TV
We have partnered with Speedwork’s to enhance a 1 hour post produced program on TV3 as well as the live streaming on the day. To enhance the event and give more budget to the TV we have added 2 classes to the event. We are pleased to announce that V8 Utes and 86 wil be running with us
The net effect is minimal given the upside of the added TV. Have a look at the attached schedule to see how we have done it. With very little schedule change to what we usually do, a 30 mins reduction on testing Friday is all we loose. Click here for your schedule
Running at Alert level 2
We have a significant plan, approved
by Ministry of Health which we will be sharing
shortly, but know there will be some restrictions and
changes
Next week we will send an online link to register
all teams members details. This is mandatory under the new
covid regs we have to run under. If you’re not registered
you can’t come into the venue so ensure you do the
registration for all your team
members
Some other examples of these
restrictions are
- We will create separate areas and each team will be allocated colored tags to ID which area they are in. Each area will have their own toilets and there will be no mixing of people from different areas.
- On arrival you must go directly to your allocated area/garage and stay in this cluster!
- Unfortunately there won’t be our usual Friday social function.
- Drivers briefing will be written and sent to you so please take the time to read it. There are many changes this year in both the running of the meeting and the regulations. Please read the articles before you arrive at the meeting.
