Yes and no. Depends which part of the track your on. After the rain last time it was slippery asssss once it dried. Cars at the mechanics so he couldnt promise me it will be fixed by Sunday as its a short week. Stay tuned.... Watch this space.

I was gunna quiz ya on the possibilities of coming out to take some photos, but had to drop the old boy at the airport so didnt bother, sounds like it was a good day, my mate with silver M3 said he cooked the brakes on the track and almost punted the wall, wish i had headed out when he told me that! Sounds like some of the guys were pushing hard!

"endless" r another good pad i think... considering we were slowing down from 220kph on back str8 to 50kph then slowing down from 160ish to 50kph on the long left hand sweeper (amazing corner and speed for the brave) then again from 160ish down to 100kph on the front str8... 1 of the most punishing tracks on brakes in oz... so wayne. dont go cheap, performance cars require performance parts, i bought some for my vl once, were around a couple hundred bucks just for fronts from wat i remember Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
