I'm Keen, I'm new, and I guess no one will vouch for me, what can I do?
My car isn't warrantable either!
But I am keen, I have a race car with Log book, two seats and current belts. I'm taking a break from competition this year while I am at home with the kids. I have been an active member of the canterbury car club at Ruapuna and am still actively auditing cars for their events, if I can help make this thing fly I'd be happy to get involved. Sounds like a great opportunity.

welcome to the club man. im sure your involvement with the canty car club will help adam heaps and bounds. as far as someone vouching for you, dont be afraid to join us in any upcoming cruises, drinks or even offering to lend a hand to help someone out if needed. we are all a good bunch to get along with so i doubt you would have any problems

Sweet, I look forward to meeting you guys, when is the next cruise? From what I can see it is Labour weekend, or do you have other more regular ones? My road ride isn't together yet, hopefully in the next few weeks.
Fridays don't work for me for a track day, but other weekdays are good, over winter we might get a weekend day, but not between October and April, I wouldn't think, the track is real busy on weekends, summer especially. Would be a great way to start the week, think, going to the track instead of going to work on a monday morning, Awesome!
Yeah keen to help out if I can, be good just to meet some other Dat Suners.

I think the next planned cruise is Labour weekend.....but I think we usually do a Hamner cruise at some point over winter.....cant remember when.
You could start your own cruise idea! lol

we have a lot of "impromptu" meets, where a bunch of us will just happen to visit the same person at the same time here in chch lol

don't worry about having a road ride, i'd say half of us have our datsuns in pieces. The ones that don't have a datsun going just car hop.
