Make your way down Clemow road. TRCCC is located just near the end on the right side. 

There is parking available on site. No cars are to be parked in the designated pit area. We will have a drop off point for you to leave your gear before parking your vehicles in the designated parking area. A full map of the parking will be issued closer to the event on the event facebook page.

The main pit area is grass and we recommend a EZUP or similar to pit under. Please bring pegs/ropes to hold the EZUP should the wind come up. The club has a limited number of EZUP shades and tables that should be used in the first instance that can cater for approximately 20 racers. We will have an area for those who work out of trailers also put aside. 

Please advise us if you have a large trailer so we can plan out area out for maximum usage.

Thursday is an organised practice day. We will release details of how this will run once we have entry numbers confirmed. This is to ensure everyone gets a fair amount of track time and that the track is kept in the best condition possible for the weekend.

This timetable is only preliminary and will be finalised based on entry numbers. Should unforseen circumstances out of our control require a change, we will do this to ensure we can complete the event. Should the event be shortened or need to be shortened, we will use Race Directors discretionary rules to attempt to run all A finals over lower finals to confirm a result. 

If a total washout occurs, we reserve the right to use Monday as the option day, but our preference is to NOT use this option.

Entering the event is deemed a contract between you the competitor and us the organiser. As such we have done the best we can to meet the expectations of the NZRCA and you the competitor and that we will run the event unless conditions of force majure occur. As such if you wish to apply for a refund, we will only accept a formal withdraw via email at least 3 days prior to the event for this to occur.

Once you enter the event, please make payment to the bank account listed, with details within 3 days so we can track this.
