The TENG TOOLS Tarmac Series Round 4 takes place at the Taupo Motorsport Park on Sunday September 14, 2008. Attached is an Entry Form and Regulations for the event. This is always popular, so get your entry in early. Save the Entry Form to your own computer (on to the desktop is enough) then follow the instructions below.
Please note with the Microsoft Word based form for the Entry Form some fields have “Drop Down” lists for you to click on and save you from having to type anything in. This applies to the following fields;
Class,
Competition Licence Type (the top field in that cell),
Licence Expiry Date,
Financial Member of Club (Left most Field in that Cell),
Club Membership Expiry Date,
Age Group.
The “Male” or Female” boxes need to have one of the boxes crossed by clicking in the box.
All the other grey fields just need to be filled in. They will self format.
If you use the pdf format, print the form, fill it in and either scan it and email it back to me, or mail it back.
Please also note in the Regulations the timetable for the day. It is an early start, but there is no pre-event scrutineering. If you will arrive on time we can get through everyone.

Despite winter threatening to make everyone’s day miserable, 46 competitors turned up to pit themselves against Hiwi Road, Tauwhare. As with previous rounds ages ranged from a few Under 18s to some over 50s testing themselves against the youngsters.
Once practice was over - without incident this year - the serious business of skidding started in earnest. Even in the first official run we had some sub 1 minute times, with others worrying that barrier. The entire field got through without any rain, and the organisers took that opportunity to feed and water the helpers out on the course. Post lunch, times continued to tumble, with a new leader, and the gap between them being only 0.15 seconds. Run 3 welcomed the rain, and in general the times got a touch slower, although there were several notable exceptions to that. However the lead didn’t change and Daryl Webster took home the top prize with Paul Harvie second, and Daniel Vincent coming in 3rd. Four wheel drive was certainly a help today.
There were a couple of big improvers, in particular Lenare Martin, improving from 1:22.79 to 1:12.09, including going faster in the rain than her previous run. Another notable improver was Alex Shepherd in his Fiat Uno Turbo, moving from 1:22.48 down to 1:09.94.
Attached are today’s results, and the Series points so far.
