Still another 30 minutes until my cab comes to whisk me away to the
airport!
Rick and all who might be interested.
Yes, I have done the HOT thing (one weekend in 100F+ temperatures at
a V8 Supercar race then wet and cold the following weekend at the F1
GP).
The weather is predicted to be 90F+ all week in Victoria so we will
be taking in plenty of water beside the track. Luckily I don't have
to wear a race suit this weekend like I did the other weekend in my
very hot little MG at the track.
Where am I? Well hopefully at a slightly less dramatic position than
last week where we lost a potential future champion V8 Supercar driver.
I will be at TURN 10 if you can spot it on a map. A sweeping left
hander (immediately after a hard braking TURN 9 where they get down
to 40mph).
No I gotta get dressed to go.
I will drink a water at the track for you, Rick... and more than a
few beers at the pub afterwards :-)
Eric
