    Our club had the chance to visit a private dirt track a couple of hours north of Auckland at the weekend, so a bunch of us got together and headed up there.


    First stop was the Waipu pub for a pizza and a beer to break the journey.

    Our destination was a bit off the beaten track, so there were some cool winding roads to go over, plus a bit of gravel at the end.

    We got there and were met by some Kurbside rodders from further up north who had come down for the afternoon, which was cool.

    After we got settled in, it was time for some fun on the track. It is a small track, but very smooth and in a great location. The track was watered to keep the speeds down and enjoyment up!

    There were a coupe of spins, but no harm done.

    I don't know about anyone else, but I ran that way around the track so I wouldn't lose any gas out the gas filler!

    Yeah, there is was video but I haven't seen it yet. It is on tape, but a friend is looking at converting it so I will post some on you-tube if that happens.

    The hot rods parked in front of the sign on the building "THE BEST OF OLD TIME QUALITY" kinda' give it new meaning.

    Thanks for the pix.
