cheers

yep those are the type I was thinking of - might get a card for that go outdoors place too, looks a decent shop?

a nice bowl of pasta or even a stew would go down well at a race meet me thinks

Just need a cook that can throw some bacon on at the start of your race downwind of the rostrum, guaranteed to put off your competition!!!

ahhh...so many people think it's just buy the right gas and get the performance,

I have found that on wide open flowing tracks that an extra sausage on the back gives then best downforce or even a couple of rashers on the front helps with initial turn in.

Should not be an issue outside at all, unless maybe on farmers fields (e.g. RHR) with dry grass in height of summer on a windy day?

Indoors, I'd guess so.
