Oh yeah!  I spot you now in the background!  I kept getting distracted by the blonde girl that everyone was hugging post-race.   

Too bad about the Mazda.  It is usually the little things off the road that cause a problem.

I spied nothing that looked like a Sonic in Victory Lane, my friend, but thoroughly enjoyed the race when it wasn't under yellow.  Lots of tyre issues, but one has to factor in camber vice the tyres themselves.

What happened to the 20 Mazda?  I thought it blew up the power plant but it finished.

I just started watching the coverage.  Is Aaron Noonan 7 feet tall or is Bargs 4 feet tall?

2.3 meters and 1.22 meters respectively metric.   

Without reading any part of this thread to prevent a spoiler, I have the 6 Hours downloaded and will commence watching it tonight, cheering for the Sonic-wrenched Mazdas. 

To quote Arnold:  "I'll be bock."

NZ Results are posted. 

To quote TheArrow as he stretched his lead in the points, "If you are going to win ONE, you might as well win the one that pays the most points!"

Quote from: skaifeman on April 08, 2025, 09:10:14 AMLooking like a dry weekend.

Weather looks fair at this stage. Too bad day light saving has just ended so race will end close to sunset.

no way they could have possibly known daylight savings was about to end... they could have scheduled it a week or so earlier if they had known...

Are we saying we might get cut short in lap count? 

The deadline for NZ roster changes has passed.  We all have what we have and Helix has a new driver on his roster.  Good luck to all.  I hope it is a ripper of a round.

I also hope I can start doing better.   

Quote from: formerlyHolden51 on April 10, 2025, 11:42:24 AMvery late to the party but hope i can join

A few years ago after getting banned from the site and subsequently getting back on, I let Trickyonne sign up late.  After the first few rounds were run he chose a team that was super strong, for he knew which cars had gotten the early jump in that season.  I then amended the rules to note no late signups.  I hate saying no, mate, I really do, but to preserve the fairness of the V8CFL I am going to have to say no.  I am sorry, fh51

However, come enduro time we will more than likely bring back the International Enduro Cup, open to all.

If they won't let him in as part of the pit crew he can always use his photographer's credentials to get in.

Excellence Awards thread is already up when the time comes.  Time to DANCE!

Okay, men.  Time to move out of the country and continue this 2025 show.  Taupo is in the crosshairs.

As of now, Helix has made the only roster change for this round.  In fact, it is the only and first change for anyone this season.  I am sure that will change in the upcoming weeks.

Remember - Thursday Midnight is the change deadline.  As always.

I was saddened this weekend to not find the broadcast nowhere on the internet.  I then found out the race is not for a couple more weeks!

On the up side I missed NOTHING!  On the down side, my mind....

I'll be looking and rooting for you guys, Sonic.

Quote from: Sonic on April 03, 2025, 08:13:29 PMI'll be working for the Mazdarati in Class E for this one and maybe see if I can pick up a few supports.

Put the V8 Central logo on the side of the Mazda and send laser a bill post-race.
