Thanks Chris / HJT

Will top up in Goulburn the night before then.

Is there an issue with the battery mounts, have seen a few posts re issues. Standard mounts are ok or do I need to add another brace / tie down?

Craig.

Just tighten the bolt/wingnut, many vibrate loose over time. Don't stress.

It is actually quite a decent clamp down for what is not too hefty a battery.

LOve the old school wooden cover too. Goes with the leather patches on my cardigans.

Sadly I've just pulled out of this event. :( Family, can't do without them. :wink:
I was really looking forward to catching up with everyone.
Good luck to Ralph with breaking into the 1:09's.

Grid sheets have been emailed by Zan. Looks like we have 78 starters on Sunday. I'm down as Yoshi's trainer which should be fun. The BOM forecast is looking dry but damn cold (1C low 11C high). Bring ya long johns! :P

SHOCK!!! Hellmun's not on the list of drivers. :shock:

I'm in group 7 with an average lap time of 1:23 rofl. I have sent an email to Zan to fix this before it becomes a safety issue.

The turn-out looks massive.

Actually there are a few quicks missing. I've been placed much higher in the order than usual.

Goulburn, Sunday: partly cloudy, 2-12C. Bring the tyre warmers.

Fingers crossed on the weather, but looking very positive at the moment. Huge turnout, should be a big day.
