traction was poor, mostly due to heat, they did lay a fair bit of compound down, but sadly it didnt make much difference, grizzly wouldnt shut up about his 9 lol, we ended up having drinks at home to celebrate till the wee hours of the morning
Hey Ash,
Yeah waz me, still had a bucketload of fun.
The lack of traction was a shame as far as consistency & winning goes, but it sure added to the excitment factor in the saddle .
I was talkin' to Milo during the night about the traction & he told me what prep had been done, you just couldn't see it or feel it out there.
I don't think all the cars that blew cooling systems the night before helped either, I think that might be why it was slippery just past the tree.
I only noticed after I had let the tire down from 28psi to 18psi, that it had already slipped some 6mm on the rim, bit of a worry, but she held up.
Next time....
