littler bit of rain overnight.... should knock the dust on the head for today

 

still cleaning the dust out of my eyes from yesterday.There is a red clay hill on the Simpsons Ridge/Whip mountain section that

 

should test all the cars. Tested out a Nissan Patrol with a 4 inch lift on it and **bleep** Cepek tyres on the section on Tuesday

 

....had to reverse back and get another runup... a little bit of rain and it will be really really challenging... I guess hitting the base of

 

the hill @ 200kms an hr plus will see the WRC cars breeze it.... Dunno about a classic Datto 1600 though???

 

Our normal Friday viewing spot off evacuation road cost $140 for the pleasure this year so we found a new spot

 

...... much to the chagrine of the official viewing spot's promoters...but

 

so did the coppers on their toy trail bikes..... they are everywhere this year.

 

Off to set up some trackside tents as I think we will get a wetarse this year. I have a residnets pass so I can get access to the

 

track until 8.30am
