Let's hope that the 'No Competition Engines before 9am rule' is interpreted your way for this weekend, Paul.
I've been to other events at the Island where it is interpreted rather more strictly.
Apparently the penguins need their beauty sleep after spending the previous evening entertaining the tourists. :wink:

Cute little fellas aren't they...special moments.

Just doing a final brake bleed before putting her on the trailer tomorrow and heading down - looks like pretty bad weather though! Always more interesting in the wet :P Any ideas how hard they are on the regularity scrutiny?

Unless you're going down to the Island on Friday (and are confident that you can purchase your numbers at the circuit :oops: ), I'd be looking at getting your numbers organised before you go.


I got a reply from the bloke who sells the numbers at the track - $4 a number, so that'll do. Hopefully he'll be open at 7am on Saturday :lol:

No race prep happenening here unfortunately but just got my dads radiator back in. His clubby will be in the display shed. My car will be in the Shannons Walk. Just about to put the original steering wheel back on that I have spent all week restoring. Heading down tomorrow morning. See you all there and stay safe on the roads and the track. Might see you at the Isle of Whyte too. Cheers.
