Hey guys, I havnt heard much from the guys from the Auckland club about the 1st round in Auckland for the Winter Series.

As such I am confused. Firstly the entry form states North Shore, from what I am hearing this is wrong. Now my understanding is that It is at Orewa but still not confirmed.

Its the 13th today! 11 days till racing. Need to know if you want a good field there.
