No need for a helmet Guys
You'll be out of control at 50 kmh, and there is nothing to hit.
See you all on Sunday.

Thanks Kevin,

Yeah no need for helmet.

And I think what I DON'T need to do - wash my car on this Saturday.

Ahhhh... I cannot wait.

Tim and Andrew or anyone - could you bring a DV to take vid from the outside. Then we can combine our vid to make a good one.

Cheers
Taka

One DV outside is more than enough I think. Coz I suspect we can only watch from one side of the bitumen.

It would be a wonderful production for the rest of the forum if we can make a good video showing our experience out of it.

Also it would be raining a bit on Sunday... hopefully it won't be heavily so we can still film outside.

Cheers,
Taka

PS
(Kalli remember to bring some strawberry icecream)

OK I have 2 video cameras for Sunday, one digital one very old non digital.

Going to go look for tripod tomorrow so I can mount one of them in the car.

Will bring both wither way.

I was also saying to Taka that I think no helmets is a bad thing. Without one people can see your facial expressions, and Kal, I think when we capture you facial expressions on camera you will be thinking that helmet heair is a better look :D

With no form of traction control and tyres that are at best very average in the wet I think I am in for one hell of a fun morning

Me thinks I will see my **** more than my nose.

Guys, just incase you all weren't aware, the timings for the morning and arvo sessions are 8.15 am and 12.45 pm respectivly. In the info they sent out to me it didn't actually mention the arvo time so I thought I'd query it.
