What an epic weekend. One of the biggest I have ever been apart of and so many amazing cars. So glad to hear you southerners made it home safe even if it was tired.
There were 46 cars on the Sunday cruise and I know of at least 3 that came and did the cruise to Horopito but could not make the Sunday cruise so I am thinking there were around 50 cars involved over the weekend and also 13 making the epic trip from the south Thank you guys so much was really great to get to meet everyone.
Our peoples choice was so close with only 2 votes between 1st and 3rd place
1st was Dales Blue 1600
2nd was Chris and Bernies Orange 1600
3rd was Matt B's Grey 140J
Well done so much time and work has gone into all these cars and so many more
Unfortunately a few hard luck stories as well the winner being Cole with his on going fuel pump issues but he did manage to finish the cruise. Also I believe that Ron had some troubles and we had two cars left in the car park at Ohakune and someone lost a wheel somewhere So I hope all of these people made it home safe and sound and thank you so much for making it. I believe also there are a couple of cars that had aimed to make it but ran out of time.
I want to say thank you to everyone who helped out from Rob developing a great voting system Lisa and Andrew making epic stones for the kids and the 510 stones for the prizes and everyone else who pitched in to help out.
I want to make a list of sponsors but don't know them all so if you collected prizes please feel free to add the buisness' that supported our cruise and if you are a local please support these buisness'

I am going to be putting in another run of Tee shirts this week so if I have missed you out or you have decided you would like one let me know. I also have a few more stickers left also
A big thank you to all the partners and kids that also came this is really what helps make this a fun weekend for me

Cheers
Alice
