Nzrc 2010

Nope, not me Comal. I like the driving wheels to be at all corners, or just the rear ones....

Crunchie, have you shifted the rattle gun in that car of yours for this year?

[crunch]

I have no intention of even touching the rattle gun this year as that would mean changing a tyre in the stage and I am too old to get my hands dirty, or indeed...to bend over that far!!
However; young Alex is keen and he could change the tyre while I will do what we co-drivers are good at. That is;...walk down the road and put the triangle out and hold the OK sign and time my return back to the car just as the boot is closing!
THAT is called time management which is what a co-drivers job is....

[Stalks]

Fair enough. I was actually wondering if you shifted it due to the FIA's new rule that it cannot be within reach of the co-driver or driver. Apparently it has to be under the seat, or only accessible once you have got out of the car. It's meant to stop driver / co driver loosening their belts to get equipment ready to change a wheel during a stage before the car has stopped.

While you're here though, is it true that a couple of the NZRC Classic cars have to withdraw from the championship due to not having their COD in time for Otago?
Would be a shame. I suspect a few people only got their act together and entered because people like Juddy had also entered. With him gone will the others still commit? Hope so.

[crunch]

Not sure about the COD's for Otago. Haven't heard anything so I would assume thats an urban myth.

Didn't know Jeff wasn't going to be there??

[Stalks]

Jeff's is one of the cars that the COD will not be completed in time for Otago. Without it he has been told he can't run.
There is an Escort in the same predicament.

As for assuming, we know what that usually ends up doing....

[crunch]

As there are only two people on the Schedule RH COD panel, and I'm one, I have yet to be advised of anyhting.
If they haven't been completed in time, they cannot run, however there is less than a 24 hour turn-around at the panel end as long as the forms are filled out correctly.

Therefore if the COD is not going to be ready in time, I would humbly suggest that is not the fault of MSNZ.
I have told Jeff to contact me to ensure there is no delay in the form processing, he has not contacted me as yet.

SO if you know Jeff and the Escort driver concerned, I would suggest that maybe you could get them to contact me tonight on (06) 3564058 as I'm off to Tauranga tomorrow for the weekend.

[Stalks]

So in the end there were three cars Crunch? Good to hear they will all more than likely be there after all.

Can we do pickems now??

[smokin'joe]

Stalks, if one of the Escorts is the one i'm thinking of. i believe it is more than COD that is an issue.

[Stalks]

Ah, the elderly gentleman's one?

Ah, the elderly gentleman's one?

now that'a a polite way of calling someone a dottery ol' git!!
