Programme of events
REMEMBER- We are no longer accepting entries on-the-day, you MUST enter before the event. Pay-on-the-day is an option however, although this will incur a surcharge of $20 for the additional processing work required. Also remember that if you did not enter at Hampton, that you must have re-entered your bike specifications ON THE WEBSITE in order for you to be able to complete your entry. Thank you for your cooperation- the extra time you spend doing this makes it that much easier for our volunteers. Let's keep this racing going!
Groundsheets are also now required by Taupo IMP for all members pitting on the hard-stand outside of the garages. Any oil leaked will be charged to the club; please bring a groundsheet and help keep our cost of racing down!
