As I mentioned last month, early January will be time to resurface Turns 4 and 15, and undertake other maintenance to make ready for 2015. Taken out of the news letter.

Should move the wall at turn 6 further back!

[Negrogrande]

should fix the burms in turn 1 first. and what is 15 in GP speak? I only know the old numbers

[Turbo]

Think that's T9, the hairpin..

[dan]

Yep t9. What's a 15?

[dan]

I though it went 6,dusty right hander, twisty bit, corner at end of twisty bit, shitty hairpin, toe scrape hill, corner cut, back of 8, t9, t10 etc

maybe the section of track with no bitumen at all in turn 1 and the rest of the berm there might get a go too

That would be nice! Although I've FINALLY (after 16 years of trying) got a bike to go through there without feeling like I'm gonna crash every time.

That will be good if they do!

[Marshy]

Dammit, just as I've finally sorted out the T1 bumps and my mental gremlins..... ;)

you should have no more.. they have made T4 T9 & T1 bump free now... back there on the 27th so I can let you know how good it is :)

[Marshy]

Hmmm. 27th, hey? Tempting!

still got plenty of space.. I did some tinkering so aiming for the lower numbers now

[stevem]

GP track to Nick , I'm in,see you there Chubb

[Turtle]

Wonder how the lap times will reflect the changes. From everything I've ever read though, most resurfacing is super slipper to begin with no? Or will they go the Philip Island style and make it so grippy that your tyres just shred apart?

Dammit, stop twisting my rubber arm! ;) I might have to join you. I just blocked out my work calendar for that day.

When they resurfaced T2 and the others a few years ago, it was immediately slightly more grippy. The tyre wear seemed the same, but the new surface just ATE knee sliders! My 2nd session I wore through the slider AND the velcro and leather underneath..... I hadn't realised the slider had gone from nearly-new to nearly-worn-out in the first session alone, and the 2nd session did the rest. Amazing. It's still way more abrasive on sliders, even a couple of years later, but I quickly learnt not to use them as a 3rd wheel and so don't wear them out so fast now.

Drill one of these into your knee slider and problem solved! Even comes with an extra brake.

[Marshy]

Hmmm. That's a good ? The way I see it, you need it rear facing for the first couple of laps because my starts are rubbish, and then forward facing for when I catch and pass you on my 09 weapon ;)

You know, I always do the right thing by you and face one each way :peace:
