Woohoooooo! I'm there like a bear!!
First interstate for the new trailer and wet bike, canny flippin wait!!!!!!
Plans are well under way for this year's sojourn to the Mexican Mecca of Motorcycle Racing, the Pirelli RR Series Phillip Island round at the end of August.
I was a late scratching last year, but the year before was a top weekend away! There were a zillion of us from here in a bunch of neighbouring townhouses, and many good times were had by all.
So in keeping with tradition, it's on again. Who's in??

Bit worried ... haven't race PI for over 3 years (and was sick at that one) and can't justify going down for Friday ... will be busy with only 2 qualies (all but 1 back to back) to get gearing right - actually pulled out a ride height adjustment I was going to trial and will leave that to Broadford where I know the track better - unless the race order is broken up (or maybe try it in the warmup Sunday) -
AND Also thinking about bring some road tyres (Bears F5 no wets no slicks - of course Supercorsas are a slick really) has anyone going down got experience in cutting slicks (and a tool)
Meh, I haven't raced PI in over 30 years!
Out of interest, what are you reading in to the "Tyre make and type are open for all classes. Wets may be used by all classes if it is declared WET" from the supp regs?
I've emailed and asked them to clarify whether the GCRs for my class or the above are applicable.

I'm in a championship battle against a bike with 10-20% more HP 3 rounds of4 legs left PI Broadford and EC with 15points difference
You can use any tyres you like even wets if it Wet ... trouble is for me the BEARS sub regs say F5 "on treaded street tyres" so the so called road legal (cough cough - quote from Link - wouldn't suggest using them on the road working temp over 50C) Supercorsas are ok but wets are right out
More interested than anything else but surely no matter how many grooves are in a Supercorsa it's going to suck nuts in anything but full dry? Isn't wet/damp grip more compound dependant than tread (until you actually get to the point of standing water and aquaplaning)?
Land to Sea ratio is important (cos it not only clears water it gives some rubber movement to warm the tyre) ... that said they're not bad in the wet at MacPark I ride at about 95% but it special (massive grip) ... and I use a cast offs on the rear of my road bikes (not game on the front)
A suppose what I should be asking is what is the Wet grip level like at PI since the resurface
Amended garage allocations are up.. apparently there are more changes to come before the final list on Thursday.
