- If you have trailers to drop off this can now be done on Saturday 10 am - 2pm or prior to the race on Sunday 23 July.
- We will be on site at 7am Sunday 23 July.

So this event can run smoothly please ensure you and all your crew are on site rigged and ready to go at the following times:

- To reiterate we will not be holding the races up for crews that are late so appreciate your understanding.
- Dress for the conditions - if you are sick stay home
- No parking on site - TRAILERS only. Plenty of street parking. Reminder the race is at Hikoikoi, 24 Marine Parade, PETONE
