20th Anniversary of 4 &Rotary. New Zealand

20-я годовщина 4&Rotary. Новая Зеландия Вся галерея мероприятия

4 & Rotary — an annual event. It usually takes two days off. On the first day — autoshow. To do this, rent a huge exhibition center ASB Showgrounds, where about a thousand cars are driving. The second day of the event is carried out on the track Meremere Dragway. In fact, 4 & Rotary not held in two days, and three. As early as Thursday's exhibition center disconnects from the roar of modified cars.

These chrome littered with wheels karkashennye salons, low side skirts and swollen face off yet Now come and co-current to the profile drag strip.


As you have seen, the majority of participants in the auto show — it's a beautiful stritovye cars, modified just enough so it was not a drawback in the eyes of the local legislation.


Another part of the participants — the one that makes a sharp sound in the clubs right now toxic fumes and exhaust gases are real racing cars.

I waved my pass, which was written «a media person, skip without question or examination,» and boldly jump on the plug on his SUV. All this under the envious glances owners low show exhibits forced to cut the grass and painfully scrape coming across tussocks.


Already from the name, 4 & Rotary, it becomes clear that this is an event for the media in-line four cylinder and rotary engines. That was the beginning. Apparently, because the Event organizer Azhar — dregovoy Mazda owner and big fan rotors.


Now the event a great variety of diverse vehicles, and they are not limited to the original concept, but apparently, the tradition is still the most rotors.


Australian troops was presented mostly rotary RX'ami, but there were exceptions.


Meet this — Po Tung and his incredible 2JZ GTE Supra. About it, I can talk for a long time because this is the option of tuning, which until recently practiced in Russia. Inject into the Japanese motor insane amount of money and spare parts to it all then withstood an insane amount of nitrous oxide and boost.


Tellingly, this Supra bodywork. No global changes and to facilitate the introduction of the most wide slicks. It's perfect, guys. 7.06 — the best result for the net time in his career with the speed at the exit 208 miles per hour.


Interestingly blow her motor 4 boost bar. Apparently, they are doing something special. From experience we know that 4 the boost bar is usually accompanied by Hiroshima in miniature. A In travels to 75 races between the motor bulkheads.


Since its previous intervention in the 2JZ passed 18 months of racing activity.


By the way, On — the only Australian, who took victory in New Zealand at the event, driving 7.5 seconds. Rest «for unknown reasons» are not among the winners.


In fact, some known causes. This is a slippery coating. I was a bit amused how Moits'a team with worried faces walked around the starting area with instruments to measure the state of the web and frowning, while Moytsa was of the left and right on the way to the finish line.


Paul Mohayet pilot Moytsa after arrival vpolgaza, confirmed that it is very slippery. To which I replied: «It Meremere guys. It's so».


Here, indeed, is not the ideal conditions for the record run. Especially when compared with the Australian drag strips. Only it does not interfere still hold the world record for GTR'ov that set Robert Ward last year. In this same surface.


At this time, by the way, his team has not developed race. After the first race started with a transmission problem.


The reason that it was slippery, consisted in the fact that participation in the civil town car tires were made. They render useless sized painting, polishing it with his tires.


Therefore Moytsam nothing to do but to play with the settings and slow down performance. The best time, which managed to pass the «Mustang» on Meremere — 6.9 seconds.

But most of all surprised Ian McKay. He owns a Mazda Familia. Did the engine swap from the Evolution, fastened a large turbine, all set up and removed 813 horsepower with wheels. On 4 & Rotary in the civil rubber this bug swept 400 meters in 9.8 seconds. The public is in a week and delighted amazement. 9.8 seconds! City car. On civil wheels. And this in a country where prohibited under penalty of prison of the race with a traffic light. Ian, it take me to Russia.


As for the rest, apart from the sports component, got a huge event with lots of food, soft drinks, a wide variety of souvenirs and a huge number of spectators.

Again, we chose the most beautiful girl presented to the contest NZ Model Search.


In between races we were entertained competitions in Bern-out.


Despite the fact that the promised rain, the event managed to spend almost completely safely. The rain started about an hour before the official closing.
