Capri Car Club, Taupo Long Track Sprint Day

This Capri Car Club sprint meeting is pretty much the last event of the year as winter sets in. Here's the foggy scene at 08:30 in the morning. The fog lifted by about 10:00 so the organisers could see the whole track, and we all got about 3 dry runs, although the track was cold, damp and slippery. The long track is great fun, almost nothing to hit if you do a spinner.
After lunch it rained, I did one run and found it was a better idea to photograph those that liked doing spinners. I managed to keep the car pointing the right way all day.




Here are a few random shots in the rain.


Kevin Hirst was going well in his Locost 7, he found the kitty litter a bit muddy in his last run.


Anton Jayasekera ran well in his Toyota Levin, with one particular corner causing a couple of 360s.
An enjoyable dinner with 10 from SCCNZ that evening.
