Regardless of you few softcocks wants, the event is going ahead rain hail or shine!

I have contaced the kart track and told it will still go ahead UNLESS it is far too unsafe...but they will make that decision!

A bit of rain never hurt anyone!

Bring a towel and a change of clothes is my suggestion to you all ;)

I will pay someone to race with a open face helmet in hail!!! will be looking like massa in seconds haha

I'm still keen as mustard, little rain never hurt noone...

BUT I'm reasonably competitive and if my shit cart konks out because the motor had engulfed too much water or the chain seizes from lack of lube i will pick up my kart and throw it at the leader as the are going max speed on the straight :)

With the greatest respect to the kart boys I think I will be making my own evaluation of the risks :P

Now to find some wet weather gear! Anyone got a plan or a contact

They provide overalls but they're not exactly waterproof.

I just took a change of clothes last time I karted in the rain up there. By the end of the race you WILL be completely soaked through.

Methinks something spicy for dinner to help keep the body temp up :P

As a kid growing up I used to play footy all the time with it pissing down like it does in Victoria, I'll be taking the soaking like I did all the footy matches.

Man the f**k up people :P

Afternoon = A Few Showers. Mostly Cloudy. Cold. Windy. 38 km/h SW. 69% humidity. 15 degrees.

Evening = Partly Cloudy. Cold. 23 km/h SW. 70% humidity. 12 degrees.

I think we're up for a wet track at least, maybe some light sprinkles.. and cold perky nipples!

I think I'll do this nude with a layer of vaseline all over, seems to work well for the Channel Swimmers :P

Rumour has it you n Bard have been practicing applying vaseline to each other and trying it out in the shower :D

    • Have a vb in honour of the car comming back
    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
