I think the extra can pay for seeing this country rather than new gear.

Depends on the circuit, the class and the series.

Most of the tracks are not, I think all try to stay as clear as possible from MNZ and self regulate.

Drag racing is the same.

For those who like a good mystery, try and figure this shot out I just posted...

Hi kirst.More boat painting as alluded to above for this year.A trip up around mt magnet after the rains finish is on early this year.Amazing red oxide/ochres and greens to shoot.And you?..my brother in-law is a sparkie and layed some wiring into the concrete pad of a house dad built for us back in the early seventies.Is this what you are doing or?

Not quite - I was off working today. Just generally learning the ropes. Carried about 40 bags of screed @ 20kg a pop. Looked a right sight, hah

I have some photos, but our cabling goes on top of the substrate, and levelling screed on top of that. As for sparkie work, I was made to do all the draw wire stuff, and run about 1000v through some to test.
I was scared

Sounds like you have a wonderful photog opportunity coming up!

I scored too - thanks John. I have his tubes for a wee while. Already playing, though I've had my camera confiscated by a friend that wanted to play. He's out on the deck photographing my babies and won't give it back!
