Ruapuna track was the venue for the South Island Championships which included both gas and Electric classes. It was a smaller event than usual no doubt the earthquakes we were experiencing still had an effect on the number of entrants.
Weather was great for our Labour Weekend event and we had people from as far north as Auckland and as far south as Invercargill attending. Everyone was set for a fun weekend with both the racing and catching up with race friends not seen tat frequently.
