Adrienne Posted February 21, 2010 Report Share Posted February 21, 2010 Did anyone else go today? Great racing, incredibly hot day though and very heavy traffic on the return to Auckland Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharn Posted February 22, 2010 Report Share Posted February 22, 2010 We went. This year, unfortunatly, I have to say it just wasnt that great for me. There was too many people for the amount of viewing space and far too little access to shade (wow it was hot), I spent alot of it well away from the racing in the shade or in the pub :lol: We left early, I heard they finished the racing early due to lack of emergency services? I'm comparing Pareoa to Wanganui tho who have great big hills under trees to sit on, large tv's with live screening of the race to watch and a bit more track space for people to move around. The two years before at paeroa were great, hopefully next year will be good too. Edit: Seems like Alan Satherley in the sidecar didnt make it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrienne Posted February 23, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2010 We were a bit lucky for shade as son and his mates camped overnight and parked their wagon up at the top of the hairpin so we had shade from that and the market umbrella. The fatality was tragic Its a very rare event but it makes me even more nervous that my son has started his career as a sidecar swinger this season (he was not racing at Paeroa).
