The forms signed have date of event and is a contract and indemnity form for that day.   This is exactly the same procedure as all motorsport events around NZ, including track days. It is in Word format, so you could keep a template on your computer be edited, from one year to another, just change the date, print a resend the info by email.  We do keep a data base, but 50% of all participants, change contact details, or home address or their vehicles, from one year to another.  The indemnity form needs to be signed on the morning at pit registration, where they sight your driver’s license.

IMPORTANT NOTE. All road cars to have a WOF no older than 3 months please. This is because the steering mechanism of cars is critical and has much bigger loads on it than motorbikes. This will speed up scrutineering and to make it simpler for scrutineering we require this. Race cars please bring your Race cert/inspection sheets if you don’t have that then supply a jack so front wheels can be lifted and tracking checked. We will have scrutineering on Friday afternoon also. Participants still take full responsibility for the vehicle to be fit for purpose to exceed 100kph. Ensure your tire ratings suit the speeds you intend to do. Also all tire valves to be metal not the bending rubber ones.

With the exclusive use of 6 kilometers of straight flat road, up to 7 meters wide, this event will allow you to find out what your vehicle’s maximum speed is. The middle quarter mile (402mtr) will be timed using Tag Heuer equipment as used  The quarter mile has been professionally surveyed, and has less than 1% deviation. In fact surveying found the middle section of 2.8klms is absolutely flat within 20mm.  Between the surveyed distance the Tag Heuer timing equipment, will give an average speed to the 4th decimal point, an extremely accurate result as per FIM standards. We also put up signs on side of the road giving you an indication of klms traveled.

This event is open to road and race vehicles. Do not be so concerned about the classes, put down all the details of your vehicle Make, Model, Age, CC, if Supercharged or Turbo, or Nitrous or Diesel, Petrol or Electric. Then these details go on the certificate and you can compare with existing World or other National records, this is your bragging rights to an event that you participated in, near duplicating all the conditions of a Speed record on the Salt of Australia or USA etc.
