bravo 35 Report post Posted February 18, 2009 (edited) Hope so. Our Auckland office is doing much of the engineering, surveying and contract supervision. Link I did alot of work on the site before they broke earth when I was still living in Auckland (Around 2003). Took lots of pictures of the farm when it was still farm so I could go back when it was finished and try and get pics from the same spots for comparison purposes. I love the fact that I had a hand (however small) in its creation. Edited February 18, 2009 by bravo Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

R90S 2 Report post Posted February 18, 2009 I drove past Hampton Downs an hour ago (we only live ten minutes away from the new track) and there were about a dozen earthmoving machines on site. Some were not in use, and were neatly parked in a line. The rest were in use, moving sh!t from one place to another as you'd expect. FWIW, there's been a lot of earthworks accomplished in the last six weeks from my observation. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

E30's? Gee, gonna hafta think about that . . . how about you bring your E9? THAT would fit real nice! Semi-seriously though, we have 1 1/2 acres, so there's plenty of parking and tentspace if you're interested. Flick me a PM before the event. :>) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Have up dated profile to show E9 gone (funded racing). Still have 2002 though Hopefully there will be grass by Sept so I can pitch my tent or I might be looking for some grass out your way.

Still have 2002 though Hopefully there will be grass by Sept so I can pitch my tent or I might be looking for some grass out your way. Good luck finding some grass suitable for tents surrounding the track, especially in September. That's the rainy season around here, and it's mostly swamp land surrounding the track. . . .another reason not to go off the sweeper before the front straight! I'm shocked that you could sacrifice the E9 in order to race an E30. That's just wrong! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
