I have found also running Ballistics in dry conditions are good aswell offer alot of grip and stability in the car but the wear rate isnt as good as Schumacher yellows,

In last 24 hours the weekend forecast has gone from heavy rain, to dry, to cloudy, to showers and back to heavy rain. So anyone's guess.

andy reeves 15-09-2011 07:17 AM

But the one thing we can be sure on is that it will be cold and windy :D:D:woot:

Unfortunately i wont be attending this one guys, cancelled my entry yesterday. Weather was looking to 50/50 for me to travel 4 hours to be rained off, hopefully by next year there will be an indoor off-road track.

mattybucks 16-09-2011 08:13 AM

Get in, look like it'll be ok

russmini 16-09-2011 07:19 PM

Just popped to KFC at Hopwood services and saw a few RC people on there on their way to Cov. The Schumacher hoody gave it away :-)

telboy 16-09-2011 07:21 PM

If its raining heavily on sunday will there a be a chance of the 4wd being run on the astro track? (being an all weather track) :)....plus it look darn cool now!:lol:

Mike Parker 17-09-2011 05:01 PM

Just a quick couple of q's, just want to know what the format is for practise & also what time it all kicks off...

afun1979 17-09-2011 05:13 PM

I've heard (from someone running 2wd today) that the 4wd tomorrow will now run on the astro track -it would be nice if anyone could confirm this....

That'll suck if it's true, I won't get up at 4am for astro:bored:

Andyp 17-09-2011 05:45 PM

Hey mike , booking in from 7.15 then practice in heat order from 8 .

Astro for 4wd is what we have been told, due to unpredictable weather conditions
