Whangarei Winter 200

The Whangarei Winter 200 was a very successful event. We had 8 Teams show up to race for 3 hours and 20 minutes. The winners were Craig Pullar, Kelvin Chapman and Colin Storey.

The race itself was held indoors at the Whangarei Indoor Cricket pavilion on Astro-Turf or Artificial Grass. It was run successfully using Dargaville RCCC's Infrared Transponder system.

The Race was very close with only a margin of 10 laps separating the race leaders and the second place getters who were: Stuart Cooper, Dave Blowers and Cody.

And when you are racing in an enduro, the difference between a Win and a 2nd can be a bad pit-stop.

The Race ran without a hitch, with every competitor getting a competitive stock motor, and being competitive.

Race on!

Driver Etiquette

Driver Etiquette is something which is often talked about.

If you have good driver etiquette then,
If you take somebody out, you say sorry and wait for them to be turned over.
You don't purposely take somebody out to get around them.
You pull over, or hold your line when somebody is lapping you.

Basically drive cleanly and have fun. And remember, transponder systems will catch you if you jump the track.
