Skidmarks Posted 6January, 2021 Author Report Share Posted 6January, 2021 Update Hi all. Only 2 sleeps to go ... Looking at the weather, its going to be 30+ degrees on the day which will be great. However, with that comes a couple of tips that, at the risk of sounding like your mum, I think are worth sharing. First - hydrate. If you do each session in full, you’ll be on the track for 2 hours. When it’s 30 outside, it’ll be 50 inside the car. Even in the more modern examples. Start upping your water intake today. OK, you’ll piss a little more often than usual but hey, a little system flush won’t hurt ... Also, hydration doesn’t mean upping the number of morning coffee’s or the beer count on Friday night!! Its a safety thing. No one needs fatigue as a result of being even mildly dehydrated. Shit happens. I’ve seen it. The other thing - pace yourself. There’ll be plenty of track time so ease into it. Use the first couple of sessions to get your bearings, see how you and the car work together and assess if the car drops off in any area during a session. We’ll have a couple of guys on hand to help out if there are minor niggles or issues that we can attend to to keep things going for you - if for instance you get a long pedal and we can quickly need to do a brake bleed for you. Could be a good idea to check your fluid levels before you head off. That’s it for now. Arne Krix, 9r, TwoHeadsTas and 4 others 5 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dutton will be ok, after that excitement you could go to St Kilda , Acland street for early lunch , we meet 2 pm Macca Lilydale if you want to drive inland with a group.

Simonk Posted 7January, 2021 Report Share Posted 7January, 2021 Saturday morning crew, how about meet at Donnybrook Shell at 5:45am with the aim of departing at 6am. Maps is saying it 1hour50 from there to Winton. I might need to think about petrol closer to Winton so I’ve got enough for the track. cafe_racer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
