Was at the minefeild yesterday in the stormy weather, had a look around the extension in the rain, wasn't very nice. A river running across the entry into the 1st right hander and standing puddles all over the place.
Good news is the track ppl are looking at removing some of the car starting grid markings from the back of the lineup, they are a bit dodgy coming out of the final turn.

Is that a promise ?? :clap:
hmm luck ?? :nono: I think you have that the wrong way round .. its called talent and Flame definitely has it in spades. Every meet has seen improvements and it takes time to develop a feel for a new beastie .. It will come & there we all will be cheering from the sidelines. :devil2:
At least she is getting out there & doing it :Punk:

It was recently established that the majority of KBr racers actually prefer racing in the rain, so the poor forecast is great news :2thumbsup.

It is good fun racing in the rain, but it's a pain in the arse drying gear and the like afterward.

Yeah - having to pull yer bike out of the `river' at Teretonga sux too!
When its really pissing its cool to watch water going into the vents on the front of yer boots and out the back - watercooled feet, nice.
