FEBRUARY 2017 - FIRST POINTS MEETING AT NEW VENUE
Thanks to all those who attended the first points race meeting at our new Mount Maunganui venue making it a great success - we had 80 cars entered in 9 race classes. It was good to receive such positive feedback from drivers about the size of the venue and the improved view of the whole track from the driver area on the upstairs balcony.
We were also pleased to welcome some new members to their first race meeting and hope they enjoy many more as we look forward to growing the club at our new venue.
Another great asset was the introduction of the new Pitstop Cafe so that we can now offer snacks and drinks at reasonable prices. Thanks to all involved in getting this up and running, I'm sure it will be much appreciated on race days.
Take a look at the race results, points and photos from the race meeting.
