PRESIDENT’S WELCOME The Southland Motorcycle Club welcomes one and all to the 12th annual Burt Munro Challenge, for the very first time in February! We are thrilled to once again reach new heights by presenting some of the fullest classes on record! Although it’s taken a full 12 months to package the ‘Burt’, all the hard work will be worth it once racing gets underway! This year we begin the event in Bluff as an impressive line-up of machines take on the iconic Hill on Thursday morning with the Classic Motorcycle Mecca NZ Hill Climb Champs. Then in the evening for the first time we welcome the Hirepool Twilight Drag Racing at Teretonga Park. On Friday, the Indian Motorcycle NZ Beach Racing Champs will thunder along Oreti Beach from 3pm. On Saturday you can look forward to back-to-back racing starting with the E Hayes & Sons Teretonga Circuit Races followed by the fast and furious Speedway Spectacular at Oreti Park Speedway. To round off a fantastic weekend, join us in Invercargill for the Honda Invercargill Street Races. I would like to thank our sponsors and community funding bodies. To the ILT Foundation, Invercargill City Council, Jack Daniels, E Hayes & Sons, Classic Motorcycle Mecca, Honda, Indian Motorcycle, ACC Ride Forever and all of the local businesses and organisations that continue to support us each year, a huge thank you. Your competitor pack has all the information you’ll need for a great week in the South, as does the event website, our Facebook page and Instagram account. Our team behind the scenes is also happy to answer any questions you have, simply email burtmunro@venturesouthland.co.nz with your query. Remember, it’s not a race to get here so allow yourself plenty of time and ride safely. Thanks again for coming South for one hell of a week! Warm Regards Andy Underhay President Southland Motorcycle Club Inc. 4
