Temp will be a max of 15 degrees too so, probably around 13 degrees when we get racing. I see on my desktop gadget that the rain will be in the AM, hopefully it holds off after that.

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!

      Chatting one someone recently at racing them at QR. They say you can't take turn 2 in one flat stick in 4th. They don't have the torque to pull them selves straight, so make sure you're ringing it's neck out in 3rd instead

      Should you buy cheap Chinese tyres?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Many years ago when I bought my FG XR6T, it came with bald tyres on the back (think pretty much smooth for most of the tread) and brand new Kinforest cheap shit tyres on the front. In the rain, I had more grip in the bald ass tyres on the back, than the brand new Kinforest. To the point you couldn't drive off at a set of lights and turn the corner. Car would only go straight. Very quickly all four tyres were replaced.   A few years back on a VF SV6 I had, it came with brand new chineesium tyres. In the wet at 90kmh, old 1990s tray back tradie utes could corner faster than me. There was one corner on a freeway, in a 90 zone, it's not even marked to reduce speed for those curve, it's not a hard corner, I could put the LandCruiser on mud tyres through with ease (it would easily do the corner in the wet I reckon at 120kmh), the VF however couldn't get through it at 80, as it would want to slide out.   Cheap tyres aren't worth the risk. I like decent brakes, and decent grip.

      It shouldn't swell like that, (just looked it up) it should say SAE J30R10

      Anyone here a submersible fuel hose expert? I pulled my hanger out again for unrelated issues and noticed the hose I popped on last week has already swollen. This is Gates 27093 submersible hose. I've waiting on a response from Gates, but this surely can't be normal? This is on pump gas, not E85.  Is swelling a tad possibly normal? I've also been fighting with my power steering belt.... I've now tossed one and killed two. I just realigned my pulleys again, hoping this time it stays on. It doesn't like high rpm.

      Don't want to side track from the thread too much (don't want to upset the thread starter's run from 2007) so here's some old rusted Nissan Laurels in a parking lot in Nishinomiya, Hyogo-ken:
