Hi Team, This is a long read.
Compliments of the season 2 U all. 2024 Many amazing KIWI CAN DO Highs. But also so many cruel frustrating events out of our control & memories that make me Cringe when thinking about them even now. So proud that CMR TEAM KIWI CAN DO NEVER GIVE Up has survived mostly intact.
Emotionally 2024 left me emotionally knackered & hoping that we can over come the many Mountains still in front of CMR TEAM
2025.
Goals As for 2024.
Continue on this OUTRAGEOUS ADVENTURE. Show KIWI CAN DO is still alive & Chase multiple FIA land Speed Records in Bolivia October 2025. Including Wairua 2 Chasing 800 Kph / 500 Mph with
POSITIVES
( ) 95 % ready to go
( ) The 4 Containers R still semi packed ready to go as they were for 2024 until we pulled out due mainly to No proven Tyres for Wairua 2
NEGATIVES
( ) Still need proven tyres for Wairua 2 to chase 500 + Mph
( ) Work thru Wairua 2 Gear selection issues
( ) There is No where 2 test run Wairua 2
( ) Finances CRAP due Multiple issues which have caused GROSS over spending way over budget
( ) 2024 Trials & Tribulations damaged CMR Team which now needs 2 rebuild with those that can handle the good times as well as bad times.
( ) CMR Team needs to grow & broaden so as 2 B able to cope with the many aspects of / Logistics / Freight / Travel / Media / Website / Planning etc that come with the size of this Adventure
( ) Competing in Bolivia seems 2 have become extremely complicated
( ) Reg getting Older & Batteries need recharging after 2024 Bruising !!!!!!!
( ) If CMR does not get to Bolivia 2025. Then Wairua 2 may never run
REALISTICALLY
( ) Some of the remaining HURDLES R VV difficult 2 overcome
TRUE EMOTIONAL REALITY
( ) The KIWI CAN DO Dream of chasing 880 Kph /550 Mph could possibly B dead in the WATER & can only happen
( ) If I Team Leader can recharge my Flat Emotional Batteries & Get back to striving 2 doing my best all & every day in every way
With the CMR TEAM & others find new ways to overcome the many remaining difficult obstacles
OUTRAGEOUS ADVENTURE Future
( ) Can we pull this off chasing 800 Kph / 500 Mph
( ) Yes.
Only if everyone on this Outrageous ADVENTURE wants 2 become the best that they can B. Mediocre will not cut it.
