Well we made a damned good effort to get over the Rimutaka's this morning for race 1 in the Wairarapa..........We took the car over with the ski on top and had the big battle with the wind, (we came second) we bent our cradles out of shape and this ended up skewering the hull of the ski like a shishkebab.
We tried to resecure the ski 4 more times but just ended up sustaining more damage each time.
Yep it was pretty windy, though we did make it over for a race on September 5 (in the ute) in similar conditions, but this time not so lucky.
It's sort of o.k. when you can't make it to a race because of the above, but when you are the Race Organisers you let down a bigger group of people.
We are really sorry but we will be back again with re-inforced transport for our next journey over at a later date.
