We arrived
in Christchurch to find absolutely glorious weather and a brilliant
venue. The guys in the Canterbury Club did a fantastic job of
organizing a fantastic event. There were approximately 170
individual entries and there was a good competitive spirit which
resulted in a high standard of racing. Everyone was friendly and
cheerful creating a good atmosphere. Petrol & Nitro were equally
accommodated and there was a good mix of oval, endurance & marathon
racing. A good time was defiantly had by all making this one of the
best racing events NZ has seen |
