All closed course racing is to be held at Lake Roto Kohatu, Sawyers Arms Rd Christchurch on Friday 30th March 2012, 12 noon onwards through to Sunday 1st April 2012.

Also, please not a new entry form has been attached, with the new added Water Cross Naturally Aspirated class. – If you have already sent your form in and would liketo add this class to your entry, please let use know!

Also, please note:
For all those wanting to race in New Zealand Nationals must have competed in at least 2 days racing of this season to be eligible. All those that have not raced yet will therefore need to compete in the 2 day south island champs 25th/26th Feb or apply for dispensation from the NZJSBA, with adequate reasons as to why they haven’t been able to attend a race day this season.

If you are just planning on racing watercross and have competed in last year’s Winter Series no dispensation is required.

The Canterbury Jet Sport Club has announced that due to unforeseen circumstances we have had to unfortunately move the date of the 2012 NZ Jet Sport Nationals to be held at Lake Roto Kohatu, Christchurch.

The new dates for this event are Friday 30th, Saturday 31st, and Sunday 1st of April.

We hope this does not inconvenience anyone, but it is a change that has had to be made.

The racing schedule for the three days will stay the same as previously planned.  The return to a 3 day race schedule has been implemented by the CJSC committee.  We believe this will allow riders to cross enter into more classes, maximising numbers, creating full fields and extending coverage at the event.

The planning is well underway, but If you would like to consider sponsoring this event please contact the committee now as we still have some classes available.

If you would like to be kept up to date with information regarding the 2012 NZ Jet Sport Nationals, please fill out the below form.  This will only be used so we can keep in touch with you and in no way hold you to entering the event. If you are not entering but would like to be informed, please leave the class section empty,

Also a note to local races, Round four and the South Island champs have also been moved a week and are now to be held on the 25^th and 26^th of February .

If you have any communication regarding the changes or event in general, please This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it and I will forward on to the committee.
