I'm all good for either weekend in April, no worries. Maybe keep both dates up our sleeve just in case the weather does turn. Happy with the Bull Creek BMX track too. It looks great on street view. Try your Bayswater Club guy too, can't hurt to ask It is a vintage RC club meet after all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thommo 1201 Posted March 24, 2012 What if I send over a life-size cardboard cut-out, does that count? Just make sure your holding a remote and one of your awesome trucks is included Where abouts are you over the ditch? I've covered most of NZ on 4 visits and lived and worked in Aukland for 6 months so I know it pretty well and deadset love it over there. I've done a fair bit of surfing in the North so I've seen plenty of beach. I love seeing NZ beach shots on here, big and flat with big tides. Perfect for RC.

matman 1498 Posted March 27, 2012 Ok , NO go on that track , sadly as they want to much & insurance etc . The other option i have is Whitman park may be a go , so i will get onto that as it private track ownership etc . Hope i have got this right . whitman park Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tipsy 7 Posted March 27, 2012 Whitman Park looks good to me. I assume its offroad? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thommo 1201 Posted March 27, 2012 I haven't seen that one before. What's the story? Is it a car club or just part of an rc aero club or simply a private track? Has anyone ever spoken to any one from Carine RC club? Do you think it is worth trying to contact these guys? http://carinerccc.webs.com/ Good luck matman and well done for making an effort.

The biggest problem is insurance , Just in case you fall over & hurt your self etc etc bla bla . The track is 1/8 nitro & has been around for some time , They also have 1/10 as well . But it's the same old story on anything insurance . Now as far as i was told whitman park is not owned buy the council . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hahaha thanks mate, I'm sure you guys would take great pleasure in using the cardboard cutout as a ramp I'm in Tauranga/Mount Maunganui, so I'm sure you've been here, a mini kiwi Surfers I guess.
