It’s a bit of a dummies guide to getting ready, which many of you don’t need. But If you know of anyone looking to join the event, but they don’t know what they need to do, or have overcomplicated it, please share it on.

Round 1 – 2019 The Surgery Sprints – Manfeild https://www.thesurgery.co.nz/motorsport/the-surgery-sprints-motorsport/round-1-2019-the-surgery-sprints-manfeild/ https://www.thesurgery.co.nz/motorsport/the-surgery-sprints-motorsport/round-1-2019-the-surgery-sprints-manfeild/#respond Thu, 04 Apr 2019 19:33:39 +0000 https://www.thesurgery.co.nz/?p=3280 The first round of The Surgery Sprints was hosted by the Triumph Owners Club.

It’s Round 1 for 2019, and what a turn out we had. A great start to this year’s season, with many of our regulars, and loads of new faces, great to see. Everyone enjoyed the day, the BBQ lunch and prize giving. Looking forward to seeing you at Round 2 in June.

As far as motorsport goes it is fairly low-key, so is a great entry point for those who want to try their hand at motor racing. The format is simple: a pair of cars are released onto the track at 10-second intervals and they complete 3 laps from a flying start. Points are awarded according to the times each driver achieves and these points go towards individual and club prizes.
