Hi All,It’s time to start preparations for the 2024 Waikato Champs being held on Saturday the 27th of July 2024 at the Good News Community Centre in Hamilton (Corner of Breckons & Dominion Road, Hamilton).
Massive thanks to our sponsors Frankton Model Shop, JB Decorators, Justinteriors & Zero Fire. The event would not be possible without your support.
Entry cost per person is $50 which needs to be paid no later than Friday the 28th of June 2024 (PM me for payment details). This allows entry into all the competitions if wanted (2 driving classes & show and shine). This year we will have an additional trophy for the top qualifier in each class along with a best newcomer trophy for shell building. The new shell trophy is to encourage more of you to bring something to the show and only applies for those who have never won a trophy for shell building in any competition in the past.
This year we have our own venue with polished concrete so we can hold the whole event in one day. There will be minimum time for practice on the day, so I encourage you all to come to the venue in the months prior for testing & tuning. That way we can speed up the event so the people from out of town can get home at a reasonable hour.
If you are wanting to attend, please notify me ASAP and make payment before the due date. I will set up a private group chat once there are enough confirmed entrants, to discuss any details not mentioned in this post.
Here are the rules/requirements for each competition – please read carefully as no exceptions will be taken on the day. Further queries & regulations can be discussed in the group chat or on the day during drivers briefing.
