With the lack of numbers is there any point sugaring the track? Looking at a few videos from yesterday's practice the left sweeper looks like an ice rink. The sugar needs lots of cars running to work. Why waste the money on the sugar if it's not needed?

Default Re nats

Ben it's not about the money, this is the first time the track has been sugared since the cold tar was put down.If it works out weather wise Saturday I will go up there in the morning and not sugar the track and if some of the guys that attended this Saturday could attend and give me there thoughts with no sugar on the track or even lowering the content to 10 kg per 100 lt . I will go up at 8.30 and blow off the track ready for 9 am and then we can go from there.Also it was very cold there on Saturday and it rained lightly a couple of times .

Thumbs up Sugar

Kim the sugar definitely improved the track yesterday when the sun was out. It probably didn't help when it sprinkled or the track cooled off too much with the cold wind/clouds.

So if the weather is warm and the sun is out then treat the track. If its overcast or likely to rain then maybe hold off and see what the weather does before treating.

Benzaah the grip going up the hill and onto the back straight was the best I've ever experienced at Littlehampton in over ten years of running there. I could drive through there full throttle with small amounts of steering input.

Thanks for that I was just thinking if some of the guys wanted to drive on it untreated if they are ready at 9 am and then if they choose to sugar it i can do it in 20 min ,then we cover all bases

Sounds like a good plan. If the sun is out the sugar will dry quickly. Unfortunately I can't make it Saturday.

It was only a small meeting today and it was cold but the grip was good.

Will find out about tyres when I talk to Matt in the next day or so.
