For stock I think most of us run the Novak system, either the GTB or the XBR.

I have some typical beginner questions:

- What time should I aim to arrive at St Ives?
- Do I need to bring my own extension cord to reach the power box?
- Do I need to be a member of the club to join for the day?

Racing usualy starts between 10 and 10:30, so you can arrive anytime you want that leaves you with enough time to setup and prepare.

It helps to have your own extension lead, and you dont need to be a member of the club to race for the day.

I did the B44 as my 1st ever, then the T4. They both use XXX Main internal graphics stickers - dead simple.

You can get them seperately or as a combo.

The difference between the 2 for stock wouldnt be much, I think the GTB has a smaller profile and comes with a fan (not nessesary for stock). The GTB has more settings, more profiles, and doesnt have a motor limit compared to that of the XBR (8.5 brushless).

It poured from about 10 till 2.30 from Pymble to Terrey Hills, but has been pretty hot and muggy since then.
If it doesn't rain tonight we have a really good chance of running.
Can't get to the track would love to sweep the puddles off and we would be set!
