I haven't done a winter series as yet and have been wondering.... as the forecast says it's gunna be a bit nippy and we don't use anti-freeze do we have a problem? Does anybody bother to drain coolant over night or anything like that?
I'm from tropical Auckland where we don't even have to contemplate things like that

So... The long track.... Any ideas?
Is that a pot hole?
Decreasing radius turn?
No camber.

Looks like a great fun detour!

It's great fun, I've only done it twice, once on a 150 and once on a 250. The Fast long left has a pretty nasty join right in the middle of the turn, The hair pin is amazingly tight. It makes manfeild so much better than the 3 drag strip special that it is when it's the short course.

I agree its wierd how you go from banked corners into a ultra flat circuit to.

That Hair Pin is scary tight its almost 90 degrees and dead flat then onto the never ending left hander which brigns you out by the sweeper awsome fun

Lets see if I can improve from last years 13th in the wet grid position

I used to work with a guy that wore his shorts on the outside of his trackies , Maybe he was an Aussie as well Skippy.
