Wairarapa VCC’s
                  2nd annual “Stretched Gymkhana”
                                  Sunday November 25th 2018
The Wairarapa VCC would like to invite your members to attend our second annual Stretched Gymkhana. Building on
the success of last year’s event (and originally inspired by some of the “off-tarmac” events reported on in the
Beaded Wheels), on Sunday November 25th 2018 the Wairarapa Branch is holding their second Stretched Gymkhana.

NOTE: There is a new location for this year’s event, and an even better course.

    •    Do you like the excitement of gymkhana style driving, on grass and gravel tracks?
    •    Would you enjoy the challenge of trying to navigate, through a winding course, against the clock?
             o The course will be sufficiently challenging to ensure unsafe speeds cannot be obtained – this isn’t a
                 “Speed Event”.
    •    Can you meet the challenge of driving a course consistently, so as to maintain, as far as possible, the same
         time each lap?

If you answer YES to all of these, then the Stretched Gymkhana is an event not to be missed.

Event outline:

    •    Driver’s briefing will be at 8:45am, with the event expected to finish mid/late afternoon (BYO lunch).
    •    The course will be just over ½ a mile in length
    •    Half the course will be on gravel roads and half on grass
              o For the grass section, a bit like a classic gymkhana’s cones course, there will be lots of sharp turns, to
                  ensure that excessive speeds (i.e. greater than the speed limit) cannot be obtained
              o The gravel tracks are sufficiently narrow and windy such that excessive speeds cannot be obtained
    •    There will be two water crossings per lap (concrete bottomed ford)
    •    All drivers will have 3 (or more) timed runs over the course, after which the best time for each driver will be
         calculated (this becomes their individual target time).
    •    From then on drivers have to try and match their target time, with 1/2 the field dropping out each time, until
         a winner is found
              o For example, if there were 16 drivers, once each driver’s target time has been determined (from the
                  practice runs), all 16 drivers have another run. Then the 8 drivers whose time was closest to their
                  target time would move into the next round. These 8 drivers would have another run, and the 4
                  whose time was closest to their target time would have another run etc.

Notes:

    •    This event is not a “Speed Event”. It falls under section 20 of the Branch Manual, as a driving test. For more
         information please contact the organiser, Paul Furkert ((06) 379 5355 or paul.furkert@xtra.co.nz).
    •    The event is limited to 32 combinations (driver + vehicle), so please register early to ensure you don’t miss
         out
    •    The event is reliant on ground conditions being suitable (and the river not being in flood). The organiser may
         cancel the event at late notice if necessary, as dictated by the weather.
    •    Photos and results from last year’s event are available on our website

                                                                                                                             17

PEOPLE ONLY . . . .
ARE WE THE ONES WITH DEMENTIA?
ARE WE THE ONES WHO ARE AGING?
REALLY ??

ONE:
Recently, I went to McDonald's and I saw on the menu that you could have an order of 6,
9 or 12 Chicken McNuggets.
I asked for a half dozen nuggets.
'We don't have half dozen nuggets,' said the teenager at the counter.
'You don't?' I replied.
'We only have six, nine, or twelve,' was the reply.
'So I can't order a half dozen nuggets, but I can order six?'
'That's right.'
So I shook my head and ordered six McNuggets
(Unbelievable but sadly true...)
(Must have been the same one I asked for sweetener and she said they didn't have any,
only Splenda and sugar.)
(And they think they are worth $15 per hour)

TWO:
I was checking out at the local K-Mart with just a few items and the lady behind me put
her things on the belt close to mine.
I picked up one of those dividers that they keep by the cash register and placed it
between our things so they wouldn't get mixed.
After the girl had scanned all of my items, she picked up the divider, looking it all over
for the bar code so she could scan it.
Not finding the bar code, she said to me, 'Do you know how much this is?'
I said to her 'I've changed my mind; I don't think I'll buy that today.'
She said 'OK,' and I paid her for the things and left.
She had no clue to what had just happened.
(But the lady behind me had a smirk on her face as I left)

THREE:
A woman at work was seen putting a credit card into her DVD drive and pulling it out
very quickly.
When I inquired as to what she was doing, she said she was shopping on the Internet
and they kept asking for a credit card number,
so she was using the ATM thingy.
(Keep shuddering!!)

FOUR:
I recently saw a distraught young lady weeping beside her car.
'Do you need some help?' I asked.
She replied, 'I knew I should have replaced the battery to this remote door un-locker.
Now I can't get into my car.
Do you think they (pointing to a distant convenience store) would have a battery to fit
this?'
Hmm, I don't know. Do you have an alarm, too?' I asked.
'No, just this remote thingy,' she answered, handing it and the car keys to me.
As I took the key and manually unlocked the door, I replied, 'Why don't you drive over
there and check about the batteries.
It's a long walk....'
PLEASE just lay down before you hurt yourself !!!

FIVE:
Several years ago, we had an Intern who was none too swift.
One day she was typing and turned to a secretary and said, 'I'm almost out of typing
paper. What do I do?' 'Just use paper from the photocopier', the secretary told her. With
that, the intern took her last remaining blank piece of paper, put it on the photocopier
and proceeded to make five blank copies.
A Brunette, by the way!!

SIX:
A mother calls 000 very worried asking the dispatcher if she needs to take her kid to
the emergency room, the kid had eaten ants.
The dispatcher tells her to give the kid some Benadryl and he should be fine, the mother
says, 'I just gave him some ant killer......'
Dispatcher: 'Rush him in to emergency right now!'
Life is tough. It's even tougher if you're stupid!!!!
Someone had to remind me, so I'm reminding you too. Don't laugh....it is all true...

Perks of reaching 60 or being over 70 and heading towards 80!
1. Kidnappers are not very interested in you.
2. In a hostage situation you are likely to be released first.
3. No one expects you to run--anywhere.
4. People call at 8pm and ask, "Did I wake you?"
5. People no longer view you as a hypochondriac.
6. There is nothing left to learn the hard way.
7. Things you buy now won't wear out.
8. You can eat supper at 5pm.
9. You can live without sex but not your glasses.
10. Your supply of brain cells is finally down to manageable size.
11. You can't remember who sent you this list.
12. And you notice these are all in BIG PRINT for your convenience.

SEEKING ANY KEEN POWER CYCLISTS
Paul Furkert, a Wairarapa VCC member, has recently recommissioned a power cycle (Paul’s is
a 1936 BSA bicycle driven by a 1951 Trojan Mini Motor (via a friction drive onto the rear
wheel)). This machine has a top speed of around 20mph, so isn’t really suitable for going on
standard VCC rallies.
Paul is looking to get in touch with other owners of power cycles who might be interested in a
Power Cycle rally. The idea is to all meet up at a county pub / campground somewhere in the
North Island one weekend next summer, and do some short (and slow) explorations of the local
area on our machines. Owners of other slow bikes (e.g. mopeds or veteran/vintage motorbikes
with top speeds of less than 30mph) would also be most welcome.
If you have a suitable machine, and would be interested in such a weekend away, please get in
touch with Paul (email paul.furkert@xtra.co.nz or phone (06) 3795355 or text 02040273746).
If there is sufficient interest from cycle / bike owners, the finer details of the rally will be worked
out in consultation with all potential participants.
