I'd email Photochromatic directly. It's his party.

You never know if someone's dropped out.

At least it's supposed to be improving . . .

Need a bit more wind to blow it through quickly

Does anyone have any spare capacity in a gas can? I was going to be bringing a 20L container down but I don't have access to it and I'd rather not be dragging an extra 40kg around the track with me for the first half of the day. Am happy buy petrol off you on the day if you've got it... alternatively I might go out to Repco etc tonight and pick a can up myself.

Hopefully, other than that I'm all set for tomorrow

You can borrow one of mine if you like.

Oh cool, thanks paul. I'll give you a call later on today, I'm back in town now so I can chat to you about shifting that big lump of alloy I've got sitting there too

I just went to Repco and bought a couple on special.... got 2x10L ones as I thought they'd fit in the Elise better, but they're about an inch too tall for the boot... BUGGER.... still, they fit in nicely when laying on their sides.... I'll have to test them tomorrow for watertightness... failing that, they both should fit in the passenger's footwell rather nicely

[Esprit]

Oh, and just on this.... is anyone meeting up anywhere close to the city for a convoy down?

I might be bringing Ben (v15ben) along if I can get hold of him, although it'll be a tight squeeze for him I think, sharing the passenger's seat with 20L of fuel, oil and my race garb

I've got v15ben sorted.

He's staying very close to the Westie's Bat Cave

I have to put Petrol in mine, 98 at that ! ! !

It's amazing how advanced these Lotus gizmos are . . .

[Esprit]

Heheh aah ok, Ben told me he was maybe getting a lift in with you. I might be going around to Richard's place tomorrow and heading down a bit early with him to help him set up and stuff so I guess I'll see you guys down there.

Hopefully the rain holds off so you can bring the westie and not the subie.... it's forecast for showers later in the daybut hopefully that means we get a morning's dry running or so.

[v15ben]

Yep sorry about that folks, I was messing around in the Bay of Islands this week so couldn't get to a computer!! I am ready and waiting for the morning and a meeting at the BatCave, just visited the cave but the caped bloke was nowhere to be seen!! See everyone in the morning

[Kiwi le]

If anyones got any magic, chants, songs anything to keep the rain away - start using them or singing them.......I'm packing the roof and going to put the harnesses in.....see you all the morning.

You mean for petrol leaks, not air contaiminating the petrol?

The last track days I did was packing the spare oil and gas cans in a large plastic bag if your lying it on its side for room. Its not a good look to have petrol/oil spills in the car

[Kiwi XTR2]

It's raining.

Maybe that means it will be finished by morning . . .
