Timetable for the second weekend.

It would be good to have a 'get together' at HD with other members of this Forum so we can 'put faces to names'. Would someone who is more familiar with the venue than I am like to nominate a place?
The HMC marquee is going to be the easiest meeting point. While on the subject of other forum members, and I don`t want to start a shit fight, but all of us on here should consider paying an annual fee, I don`t know say $75, to help support Steve Holmes and his great work behind the scenes for all the members benefit of all classic and historic racing around the planet, not just in running this website, but all the little bits that go unseen - and unrewarded. I think it`s a small price to pay when you look at the big picture.
Other than we charge just $50 for ERC Series membership and it includes a great annual dinner...! (Happy for Steve to come along for free though!)
I'm heading across the ditch from Sydney for the second weekend, and hanging around Auckland for the NZ Air Show on the Monday 28th at North Shore Airfield.
It should be a good long weekend.
This idea was mooted some time ago, and I for one responded that it was a great idea. I think it was suggested at the time that Steve let us all know what he wanted to do, and what kind of fee / donation was appropriate. Steve, perhaps you are reluctant to 'ask' for money, but you need to provide us with some guidance here.
I would favour a donation scheme, only because the membership of the Forum varies from retirees on fixed incomes, to successful business people with the ability to donate more. The suggestion of $75 paid by 640 members would provide $48,000. Steve, what do you need to keep the Forum running successfully? Let us know, and maybe set up an account where we can make deposits.
OK, thanks guys, I really appreciate the gesture. Oldfart (Rhys) created a thread for this a few months ago also. He likened it to paying a magazine subscription. Certainly, this website would be a whole lot better and have a lot more great stuff on it if I had more time to dedicate to it. And time is money. Essentially, I'm doing all this for free. I love it a lot, but it is time consuming. But for now this site is safe and it ain't going anywhere, at least not until my enthusiasm runs out!
I hate asking for money, and I won't do it. But as you guys have raised this point, I'll let everyone make their own minds up.
So, if anyone wants to make a donation, you choose the figure, and email me at: theroaringseason@gmail.com It would be much appreciated.
In the mean time, we better get this thread back on track, before the moderator kicks all our arses: The 2013 NZFMR.
I emailed the event organisers last week about the tickets stating that the gates open (for spectators) at 9am, which happens to be when racing starts.
Apparently the gates will be open a little earlier, but please don't turn up at 7am!
I`d say if you want a good carpark, and not be in traffic jams and gate queues, 7am might be a good time to at least be there!
Does anyone know if an entry list has been released yet?
Quite often event organisers release an event schedule and entry list in the week leading up to the event.
Rod, I see you can have a cooked breakfast each morning at the Pavillion building in the pits for $14.50 between 7am and 9am. Pretty good deal really. Just a short stroll from my bus!
For a couple of bucks they could deliver it to you Mr fullnoise, Breakfast in bed. It doesn't get any better than that.
I`ll be outside waiting for them to open Bruce, I won`t be able to sleep, I just want to do some skids!
I had an entry list a few days ago, but am somewhat hors de combat at the moment... About 343 entrants
If the pedestrian entrance isn't open, your ticket should get you in the driver's paddock entrance - but not your car. I'll aim for breakfast at the track - if I am allowed to drive by then...
Chris Watson said at Taupo last weekend that ticket sales are 200% ahead of last year - sounds like it will be a great couple of weekends.
They used to post entry lists but I haven't seen one for the last three Festivals now, which is a pity as I am sure it stirs people up and gets them to attend.
Mike-John McKechnie is entered
Do you want me to post a full provisional entry on here, or sections of it? I can just about manage that I think. Getting a bit better - slowly, but my wife will have to drive me down Friday.
Sorry about the format. I haven't the time or stamina at the moment to sort it! If I had worked out how to post it as as an ex-Excel table, I would have, or I would have converted it to HTML.
I accept no responsibility whatever for any errors or omissions and this is provided as a rough guide only.
Note that this includes both weekends and Classic Trial and E30 BMW are not running at both.

I presume that could be Paul Halfords car (the one driven by Andy Booth last year). The Rat had a run in Neil Tolich's Mustang last year. I haven't seen the official programme yet nor had a recent look at the NZFR website.
fantastic. Thanks for posting that - can't wait for tomorrow
Friday - a quick call in thanks to my kind wife driving me down...

Up at 4am in the morning to get to HD to see the undoubtedably fabulous show that will happen. Then another 5 hour drive home tomorrow night...back to reality. Looking forward to it. Also really looking forward to just shooting the breeze with the HMC guys.
Just looked at Friday's times on mylaps.
It's a pity there aren't more Can-Am cars running. The organisers had hoped for around 20 cars, but 9 practiced and qualified.
I suppose time and money would be the main issues.
Angus Fogg 4th fastest 1:16. Unbelieveable.
Great day, great machinery and great friendly discussions with all and sundry. Well worth the 18 hour round trip and horrendous sunburn!
Woah! After an 8 hour trip to Hampton Downs on Thursday, then three days of too much sun, beer, and shooting the bull, and another 3 hour trip up to Whangarei this evening, I'm shattered! But I'd just like to say a huge thanks to the organisers of the NZFMR. What a world class event.
I'd also like to say a big thanks to all those Roaring Season members who came up and introduced yourselves. It was really great to put some faces to names (or usernames) of people I'd not yet met. What a great bunch of people we have on this site! I really enjoyed meeting each and every one of you, and catching up with those I already knew.
I'll be back for the second weekend of the NZFMR, so if any of you folks are attending, please come up and say gidday.
HMC or F5000. Too close to call. Brilliant weekend. Just a shame there weren't a few more Can Ams to match the other v8s
Blame Tony Roberts for that Shoreboy...he broke one of them in the morning on Saturday. Hopefully the guru (Duncan Fox) will have it ready for next weekend. Question is;......should Tony drive it???? Think I could fit in that cockpit....
