There will be various (all optional) runs between tracks, we have found some excellent roads down there. Bike Tranz can collect your bike from their depots in Auckland or Kapiti or collect from a single location in Hamilton or Tauranga & have them at each track on the morning of the event then return them to the pick up point after the last event at Ruapuna. Cost is $760 inc GST but subject to fluctuations depending on the cost of fuel etc. Please contact them direct on [email protected] Accommodation: We will send out a list of where we are staying, you can choose to stay there or elsewhere. Evening Functions Like the rest of the tour these are optional, we will stay in places where there are food & drink facilities on site or close by. SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS Levels Racetrack at Timaru started life “out in the country” but now has a number of neighbours. As a result the track can only be hired 75 days per year & they have a few rules they must abide by, including running all events under Motorsport NZ rules. Those rules flow on to us & must be respected. As a result the following must be complied with & it really isn’t difficult 1. Noise levels must not exceed 95.0dBA (That’s fairly loud) 2. Helmets must meet Motorsport NZ Current standards. These can be found in the Motorsport manual or if you are entering & unsure if your helmet is OK let us know the numbers on it, usually located inside the lining or on the neck strap. 3. Overalls must be CLEAN & Fire Retardant or Self Extinguishing. 100% Cotton is deemed self extinguishing. (Poly Cotton blends do not comply) Enclosed footwear must be worn. 4. A Fire Extinguisher, minimum 1kg Powder or 1 ltr Foam securely mounted in the vehicle with 2 metal brackets. (Bunnings & Super Cheap Autos have these for around $35.00) 5. Oil catch can, this is mainly for modified cars as most standard vehicles vent the crank case back into the air intake system, any vehicle venting the crank case to the atmosphere must be fitted with an oil catch can. 6. Secured Battery, factory metal brackets are fine unless your car has a modification that requires something more. Scrutineering at Levels will be done by Levels scrutineers as per their request; this will not be hard but a general safety check. As your car will either be up to race or WOF standard there should be no problem. Highlands has noise restrictions as well, 65db at the boundary so dont arrive with a noisy car or bike.
