Although not the first thing on most people's mind since Saturday but I'm sure (like me) you all wondered what the state of the track was like.
I can happily report that the track is all ok. There was minor damage to the control tower but since we are running round 1 on the B track this won't be a problem.
It's time to let out some stress and burn up the earth!!
Hope all is ok for you guys and girls and I'll see you all next week for Round 1
Cheers

| Link STC Race Series

An exciting new motor racing concept - the STC Race Series is about to be unleashed on the South Island with the inaugural round at Levels on the 16th of October at Levels. In the short time since its launch the series has attracted strong interest from competitors with sixteen competitors registering their intention to contest in the inaugural series with many more indicating their interest.
The Link Super Touring Car Race Series will be an exciting addition to the motorsport scene with a varied line up of exciting machinery fighting it out for a share of the prizemoney on offer. The new category caters for cars of steel monocoque construction that have been modified for improved performance. The rules allow a reasonable freedom of modification and are free from such restrictions as boost limits, minimum weights or having to run a specific control tyre. STC is aimed at the widest possible variety of cars and permits a level of modification that will make the fields very appealing to spectators.
The series has attracted major sponsorship from Link Engine Management. As a result of that support the series will boast an attractive prizemoney pool.
The first placegetter overall in the series will receive $1500, second overall $1000 and third $500. There will be four classes in the series (STC-A, STC-B, STC-C and STC-D) and the top three placegetters in each class for the series will receive $500, $250 and $100 respectively. The series will accommodate cars of different levels of modification and a time bracket system will operate to split the cars into their respective classes.
The Series has also secured some TV coverage and details of what form this will take will be released soon.
A range of engine swaps are permitted catering for many cars that are not eligible for other classes despite transplants that are common and easily carried out. Body shell modifications are free enough to allow what is commonly done without the restrictions of other classes but without being as radical as some of the heavily modified categories. Slick tyres or any road tyres are permitted but the rim widths are limited to 10 inch width which will prohibit the more expensive, wider rubber. The type of slick is limited to commonly available Dunlops, Kumhos and others at the lower end of the price range.

| After Partys

Hey, looks like I'm going to be in charge of doing after party functions. Just wondering if theres still much interest in them? I'm thinking for the Christchurch rounds Rock Pool and Micky Fins would be a good venue....(tea pots, Drum n Base, Pool Tables and Live Bands up stairs if thats not your flavour) But another option could be Iconic (D1NZ afterparty being held there).
Once i know what the interest is I'll get in contact with the managers and see what drink deals I can round up.
Timaru and Invercargil will be organised closer to the time.
Tell me what you think, if you have a better venue suggestion please feel free to comment.
Cheers
