Yeah, Let it rain !!

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.

How lucky are we, I mean, what other road race has a ford crossing?

Great news about the grid markings!!

Yeah, Let it rain !!

+1, I'm keen on trying out those wet's again.

hmm now since I have been on crash each round twice the petrol line gave out .. & twice crashed .. so thats a bit harsh, who are you again ????

ahhh thats right ... flame can you kick his ass again like last time love

If she beats me with out me crashing i will give up racing all together.

She got lucky last round as I demonstrated in the last race.

Is that a promise ??

hmm luck ?? 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.

At least she is getting out there & doing it

Yeah, Let it rain !!

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

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.

Hey Flame....looks like driftn just offered to be your new pit bitch!!!!

[scracha]

Yippee...another round sliding about on the GPR's. Wonder how many times I'll get lapped this time. Still...good experience picking up the front when she tucks.

[CHET]

BOO HISS!!! NO MORE RAIN PLEASE I DONT HAVE THE TYRES, HOWEVER I MIGHT BE ABLE TO GET A CANOE.
