i have a few boys coming down to watch and film, along with my mechanic who is also racing that day too..

Sandown is a fun track. You really make up the time on the back half of the track, where the track bends and slopes to the right with a tight 90 to the left of a very fast run. You have to keep your foot down on the bending curve otherwise you will be slow... Like me

Watch the oil temps and remember the warm up/warm down laps, dont pull out of the pits like an idiot because everything has to warm/warm down (Heat-soak).

What are they asking for the day ? Pity I am up the GOR otherwise I would come along.

Have fun !

the day is $140

anyone done a sandown run before and can give some advice??

also the event is still only half full so come and join me

cheers frankee

do you need a bonnet strap. the regulation usually need two bonnet securing devices. one is the release handle in the cabin and the second is the bonnet release under the actual bonnet

Yes you need a bonnet strap. They do not consider the release handle to be a separate securing device.
