Calder this time of year, cold, miserable, cold racetrack, burnout comps, cold, bob jane, bad return road, cold, staging lanes with stones everywhere, cold.

Spot on but it is a better venue. Only 7 more days to go and I can confirm whether I'm racing on the 20th or not.

With the rain out passes handed out last week it could be a busy night, either it will rain or it well be a good night for numbers.
Looking forward to seeing the GT boys have a crack...

Yeah, I much rather Heathcote. However I don't have a free Sunday for a while. So Calder will have to do.
