day was fine....

Took it easy most of the day, but started to open it up towards the end and then got thrown off track for noise issues :S hehe

Then had a wee fire in the car on the way home, police, fire brigade etc :lol:


will post more on it later, and some vids.

Long Weekend!

i've seen teams cut extra groove's into tyres when it has been really wet.

as far as I know, yes...

They just groove slicks to their desired tread patterns.... you can buy them though. Compound of the tyre will prob be different too

And thats all the way through to Pro-racing teams? (cut slicks)

Would love to come and watch but i'm to far away to just pop down.
