Ray, yes.
Swept blown and a quick water. If needed and time permits sometimes it will get another water later on.

Tyre wise, the usually like M3 hole shots/DDs, X2000s, and bar types. The last club day I ran suburbs in m4 compound in the final to races of the night and had great traction.
Just found out when it's hot they don't last long....lol
Something new to me..still learning that part.

Track temp was 25c on the club night, and 42c on the practice day.

Cheers, and see you there.

Hi Benno.

The M.B Challenge is a test of skill and aptitude pertaining to the highest nominal speed elapsed down the main straight away, visually judged by a select committee.

Rumour has it, there is a slab of Melbourne Bitter cans to be awarded to the winner of this challenge...

Yes, and I do apologise.

The M.B challenge has exponential amounts of innovation-ness, more so than a tonne of loop pile floor covering, in fact.

Track will have gotten a good dose of rain today, more is expected later in the week.
Saturday hot and dry.

Mildura have naming rights on the "Carlton Draught Challenge".

None the less, M.B is an appropriate ale for Wodonga.

Confirming that Bonetti and myself will be in attendance.
Word going around that tickets for SummerSlam have sold out, and hume traffic managment is currently working out the logistics to deal with the influx of patrons heading to the dong. Penalties of on the spot fines will be handed out for those scalping tickets.
Seems to be the most heavily anticipated event since the Furhers Knox track rebuild of 2006....
