No response from owner. If you wish to repair/replace the cache sometime in the future, just contact us (by email), and assuming it meets the current guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it.

Got a mate lined up to check this one out

Couldn't find this one. Seems to have gone.

Park was busy today but no one around at the gate. Still this cache appears to have vanished.

Cache owner needs to check on this one. Don't think it's there any longer.

I took my teen kids with me on a lovely late summer evening for a look when the area was fairly muggle free , but despite an extensive search we could not find it. Still a nice change from doing homework for them ! : (

On my way down and really wanted to do this cache.
Can the owners please have a check and see if it's still there?
Cheers M+S [:O)]

Had a good look for this around bush on left side of gate as entering the park, no sign of it unfortunately. Upside was that it was a track day, so sat on the hill and watched the bikes and cars, adrenalin pumping stuff.

Very busy as super bikes practising for tomorrows race. Hoping to drop off a hot wheels car but didn't find cache anywhere. [:'(]

Found with 90CRX on our quick trip around the South Island. Thanks for your effort in placing this cache, I enjoyed finding it.

Accompanied with Sp00k & Ciotach for the day of sightseering and cache-hunting. Cache was quickly found and no trade. Thanks for the cache.

Accompanying Varuna on our way home the long way round from the NZ Mega event. We simply had to stop and let her find this one, not far from our home.

Awesome cache tftc

Notebook is a tad wet, writable but still wet

Heading out to where RuruNZ is having a Guide camp this weekend and said I'd be there at 1.30 - now 1.15 and need to get up to top end of Buchanans Rd way. Will I make it - of course but the cache comes first.

On way out from signing log, had to wait for some cars to go in. Getting back into my car parked by side fence I noticed there are security cameras operating so do be wary/careful where you do park at odd hours other than daylight.

Racing around today getting ready for a camp this weekend. What cache today to maintain my streak?
This was close to campsite as I dropped the first carload of "stuff". Relevant to with all the racing treats done here.
Logbook slightly damp add previously noted. Pen didn't work. Also no sign of geocoin!

TFTC. I put in a few cars and a new snaplock bag for the log book.

Found this after a great race at the JD Duathlon.
Junior cachers loved the dinkey cars.

Easy find.

Found it with 2 guiding muggles on the way to the airport. TFTC

Drving past to night so a quick stop was in order.
Things are a little damp and musty inside but the logbook is still usable thus far.

Cheers and thanks,
S.t.

Found this cache last year so am rather late in logging our find! Nice themed cache.

Quick find. A little activity nearby -- a burnout competition I think.

Quick find. Took TB. TFTC.

No.4 Leap Day Cache. A nice theme cache and a quick find. Left the Fire Bug TB to play with the other vehicles at the race track.

Great hide. TFTC!

Quick find with Mporokosa. As a kid I had Dinky toy cars - they were the best! TFTM.

Easy find - Thanks!

quick find, first for today, TFTC

quick find thanks to the clue. Caught a gap in the muggle stream. TFTC

Found easily. Amazing it is still there as there must have been various clean ups of the area over the years. TNLN. thanks.

another dnf. should have stayed in bed. had a gd look. judging by the logs should hv been easy.

Was in a rush when I left home so had only grabbed the coordinates for this cache and not read the page properly for some reason when I looked at the map I thought it was near a golf course how wrong you can be. Glad it wasn't in view of the security cameras. Very interesting location, thanks for the cache.

Found and liberated a TB,will move on

a dinkey spot.

dropped TB Shelby racer. A while ago. only just logged

Club day here this afternoon, with lots of folk coming and going. No one seamed at all interested in someone driving a boring Toyota Corolla. TNLN SL TFTC

Straight forward. TFTC.

Quick find Tftc

I took Alex Tb from here. TFTC

Nice quick find. Dropped off TB (Alex's Daytona Race Car). It would be great if the next person taking this could get some photos of cars racing at Ruapuna.

Crikey nearly got seriously muggled as a whole procession of cars started leaving just after finding the cache. Quickly signed and left!! TYFTC

Popped in to add some more cars! (the cache was being over-run by non-car swaps, oh dear). There are now some new an exciting dinkey cars to be found

Cool place TFTC

Sorry didn't have a car to add.
+ a marble, - nothing.

One of a couple found on a trip through this neck of the countryside. Nice quick find.

Thanks Gyargh, this one was not to far from home.

Peaceful today, few people around - in direct contrast to a previous "attempt". I had naively thought it was a quiet Saturday evening; arrived at GZ to find that there was racing at the track.... TFTC.

TFTC. Cache was exactly where it was meant to be. Left TB.

Nice and quiet around here today.

TFTC

First night cache. Adds another dimension to the sport. SL TFTC

Out for a mornings adventure with the family. Nice quick find with the roar of an active racetrack in the
background...nice one. Thanks.

Found with Old Boots and Rosie. TFTC

good hiding muggle - ish mark !!!!!!!

Quick find and place to hide as some late muggle racers leave after 8pm. -jeep TB

Very quite at night.

Found admist loud sounds from the racetrack, placed a jeep travel bug!

Ignored the no parking signs are stopped oppisite. No one around today.

the only motor doing laps was the man on a wee ride on mower

Easy find after telling a race muggle about caching TFTC

Great idea for a cache theme! Quick find. TFTC.

Got a bit paranoid on my way here as I'd collected a speeding ticket a couple of days ago and in the unfamiliar rental car on these long Canterbury straights I suddenly found myself doing ... well.. to say what I was doing might implicate myself... Anyway for a while every flashing glint of chrome in the mirror was a police car with flashing lights but luckily not. Parked a wee way away and walked up to the cache. Nice one. TFTC, Biggles.

Bees aplenty here. Butterflies usually avoid bees, as they compete for the same nectar!

Pleasant little drive past - many thanks Little G Magic

Raced past at night TFTC

Quick find on a beautiful sunny afternoon, TFTC.

TFTC - fantastic! Thoroughly enjoyed by Mr 5 and Mr 3 - took a long time to exchange cars! Took purple nissan, left silver car. Took gold porsche, left red car. #4 (No pen).

cool cache, found my first trackable and will endeavor to transport the client north very soon.
left the cat, tftc.

Forgotten I'd found this last year. Oh well, nice to come back!

Came along with Kiwijam, thanks for the hide - never really knew where this place was until now!

Found on a nice few days in Christchurch finding some good fun caches. Good area for a cache like this. SL TFTC

Found with tmann421 on a short trip to Christchurch. Placed my first ever TB ("The Client" - he's a burglar) in this cache, as he had just escaped from Christchurch Prison and needed a getaway car, which of course he found in this cache! SL, TFTC.

Went straight to it with good coordinates. thanks

Nice hide - something going on at the raceway may come back another time with Jr, TNLN SL TFTH

Found the cache just as the course was closing today. Mrs Royal had to do some quick thinking and pretend to like car racing to avoid odd questions from mugglers locking the gate lol.

Took - Toy car
Left - Nothing (will return with toy car soon as didnt have any cars for trades as one of the smaller team members wanted a car)

TFTC

(178) Went out for abit of night caching, had been past this a few days ago but was a bit busy to go and retreive.. So headed back in tonight.. TFTC, SL

When our 6 year old saw the contents of this cache his eyes lit up sorry we did not have any swaps with us and he really wanted a car so left $2 and took 1 car.
Nice one guys TFTC

Very quiet today, so an easy find by lurking in a most unsuspicious manner...... Thanks for this.

First time we went there, a muggle was sitting in his truck at the entrance, so we came back later after finding another cache. TFTC

Nicce and quiet today. Easy find TFTC

Anice easy cache.
sorry left crap plastic car, only one I had

Pleased that all was quiet near GZ. A very dinkey cache indeed.
TFTC

quick + easy

After finding Stoney, it was nice to see an easier Gyarch cache. Quiet here today. Exchanged TB's. Cheers for the cache Gyarch and Muggle-ish Mark!

Nice little collection to got going there.

Cheers.

Nice easy find. All quiet at the raceway today. TFTC

Quiet here today. Imagine this would be a very busy road when racing on.
TFTC.

Nice find with the kids, swapped about 9 cars. Needs a pen put into the container though, TFTC.

Very busy day here today. That heavens for a quick find!

Never knew where Ruapuna was, even though I've lived in Chch years and years, I guess it's not somewhere I'd accidentally drive past! Thanks.

A nice dinkey cache, found with Yeetrees. Sorry we didn't have any dinkeys with us, they're all scattered around the lounge .

TNLNSL, TFTC

Found with YuGeo4, was an easy find in the end no major problems, like the area where it was placed, cool location. TFTC TNLNSL (1440)

Loved the theme.
Watched some bikes doing laps after we signed the log.
