2 days to go..

Well, The track rubber is on, track pads are in, my carbon was finished today and my fire extinguisher got fitted properly at last

Just need to get my geometry changed tomorrow, fit my helmet net, refit my ACT gauge and get her washed ready to go.

We'll make our mapping changes on the way out... Probably run some methanol too.

Woo hoo cant wait

Frayz phoned today- only chatted briefly. They had to take the car off track today because it was "too loud"! They were going to sort it out then go back out- by the sounds of it they are having a nice time. The weather is hotter than here!
