I will read regs in the morning

You're o.k. mate......regs as follows......

Drivers will be required to wear clothing made of flame resistant materials such as
wool or cotton (no nylon) covering the body from neck to wrists to ankles.
3. Note: This is a minimum requirement and if approved competition apparel is
available then it is highly recommended that it be worn during competition.
4. All competitors must wear gloves (minimum: leather or race type) that completely
cover hands and fingers and extend sufficiently up the arm to allow no exposed
skin at the wrist.
5. Drivers must wear fully enclosed lace-up shoes with leather uppers. Socks of non
synthetic materials that cover the ankles must also be worn.



Cheers,
Warren

Cheers Wazza, all is good then, thinking about it during the 940kls I traveled today. I think it is in a suitcase under the stairs, I put it there when doing renos

[Aussie Mike]

You can borrow my suit Dave. Might be a bit snug though.

[boxhead]

More than "a bit"

But Andy, don't you run the 6 litte big block?
Gav and I, we only have the baby 5.7, so you should beat us all.

[Tenrocca]

No mate, same size block. Stock everything. Prob only puts out 200 odd rwkw. You should kick my arse.

[Gav]

I will kick your arse.

[boxhead]

I will try to keep up with you Andy, but I am just a slow country bumpkin

You are right Andy, I probably should be in race class, but since my car is registered and is on street tyres I will probably be in group 3.

[Tenrocca]

Really Gav, I thought you were the newest life long member of AA......

[Gav]

And I thought you where a wanker, but that's not true too.

[Donunder]

Most of the Queensland contingent are heading south on Wednesday en route to an overnight stop at Raymond Terrace.

Just a quick note boys (and Yve and Ros) wishing you a safe journey and a trouble-free weekend on the track. Bring home plenty of silverware, and we'll see you all at breakfast next week. We're fully prepared for all the tall tales and true with which we'll no doubt be bombarded.

GO THE QUEENSLANDERS.

[Mrs flatchat]

We're only going to the nats this year for the camaraderie , coaching and mentoring

(read Mrs Flatchat is not happy)


(new motor disintergrated a cam lobe -- POS --and not enough time to put the old one back in )

[Donunder]

What rotten luck Yve.
There seems to have been a spate of last minute dramas this year.
Never mind. Cross fingers for fine weather and enjoy yourself anyway.

It's fortunate that happened before you left and not halfway down the highway.
I'm sure you could get the old one back in, you'd just get here a day late. Probably still get a few laps in Friday arvo

[Philm]

Thats a bugger Yve, it won't be the same without you running.

Engine in and dyno tuned last night, wheel aligned this morning.

Oil change, bleed clutch and brake and clean it up tonight.

Getting excited see you there.
