Those steps are already in place Luke. I'm surprised you haven't already noticed the surveillance cams in yours and Marshys workshops already.

That's Saturday morning step 3 Ed.

2: Rush off to supercheap/bunnings to replace the 8 litres of distilled water I kicked over/spilled/set fire to or lost.

3: Round off a nut of two removing something. Lose a little skin from my knuckles and somehow ear getting this sorted.

4: Neglect to use torque wrench putting things back together, tighten something until it goes loose again.

5: Curl up in a ball, cry myself to sleep around 4am Friday morning.

6: ARDC day, race, race, laugh, drive home, fall asleep.

Might have missed a step or two.

Yeah, pretty similar... I normally like throw in a helicopter evac or two in there for good measure tho...

Ouch - not only am I back to back races but the F4 F5 BEARS bikes are in with UNLIMITED CS ... seems a bit harsh a set up as almost all the F5 bikes are eligible for the back to back race (twinsprint/singles etc) and most of the F4 bikes could cross enter into UCS

**Marshy** · 23-10-2016, 01:09 PM

The entry list has exploded!! Last I looked it was a little sparse, but now it's very very healthy!! Can't flipping wait!!

There is a St George member that was moved to C Grade from D 3 months ago, hasn't done 1 race as a C Grader and has now just received his notice to move to B...hilarious

It's a joke, isn't it.

**Linden** · 27-10-2016, 11:52 AM

Good (but embarrassing) news think I've figured out my fast corner issues for the last few outings - ouch notchy steering head bearing the stupid things you miss - be interesting to see if my confidence through 1 at EC (and just about everywhere at PI) improves

**wil55n** · 27-10-2016, 01:35 PM

Wow, 3 Pages worth of entrants! Going to have to bring some extra memory cards

**Leezx10r** · 27-10-2016, 04:47 PM

Yeh it's a great turnout, going to be a great few days

Hey Luke, Nafe says he's helping build your bike. That's ok, right?

He's supposed to be picking up a rear spring that I lightened by cutting 1/2 way through with a hacksaw.

HANDS OFF!!!

No worries mate; he got the 'lightened' rear spring, and I put a couple of cuts into the front springs too, just to help.

When I raced at Bathurst I was grid 64 out of 86 bikes. They were around onto Conrod straight.

**Kimbo** · 03-11-2016, 12:02 PM

Anybody leaving their bikes and gear in the garage overnight after the practice day.

**Marshy** · 03-11-2016, 01:07 PM

Another updated entry list is out. Just crunching some numbers, and it looks like there's just about 40 on the BEARS grid, 44 on the 600 grid, 46 on the Unlimited grid, and 40 on the CS600 grid. Big fields! T2 will be awesome

wot he said ... be ok if your at the pointy end or up the back but in the middle could be "interesting" - the UCS and Bears F4 F5 will be very mad - alright if the A,B and C piss off quick but could be mad on the first lap as a national championship is on the line

Thanks Marshy. I will be early

**Mr.Ed** · 03-11-2016, 08:47 PM

Too late to request a tarmac talk sticker for the bike? I'm sure there will be lots of us there 'representin'

**Marshy** · 03-11-2016, 10:04 PM

Sheeeeeet. I just finishd stickering for tonight. Possibly tomorrow night.

**Mr.Ed** · 04-11-2016, 03:59 AM

Meh, it's all good... but if allow me one more detail on that request, how about one that's small enough to put on the dash so it shows up on the videos? Just thought it gets watched by a lot more people that are already on the internet and therefore only a click away from the forum.

Yep, this is what scares me about StG.

Ill be doing my best to just stay out of any nonsense - some get the red mist and then ride outside their capabilities. Lets not do that.

**Turbo** · 04-11-2016, 07:30 PM

All the best to everybody out racing tomorrow!!
Big fields but lets hope that just means big fun, wherever you are in the pack.
Ride safe, see you out there!!

And then there was race 2 ...

Hope all that were injured heal fast. There was almost another start accident in the 400/250/300/125 race, row 3 wheelied it, and brought it down crooked, I thought he was going to spear off into the bikes to his right.

They announced they were only going to get through half the Saturday races when I left at 4:30.
