Hey Jimmy

Here's a shot of the new track layout, it has been revised since the first build. Shots were taken by Thomas, and stitched by Mitch both from St Ives club.

I'd appreciate it if you could refrain from posting about your awesome track, in your awesome country with predictably awesome weather, thank you very much.

we're doing just fine without having our faces rubbed in it.

Awesome, I see what you mean about losing the old skool charm - but looks like a fun track

here's what it looked like a year ago when I was there:

Yeah, it is definitely a fun track to race at now. Good racing to be had, especially the modified racing as entries are stronger and healthy.

You guys have it good, well oOple make it looks that way The race meets look great, I am going to have to get back to my old homeland soon and hit the UK tracks. I loved the look of that Players event.

And you have the Euros in Spain coming up. So nice to hook up a cheap flight and hit the sun in an awesome city.

The track is starting to groove up, the blue line is appearing. Nice

You guys were on fire the other weekend. Good to see you down here. Jared was spot on with the B4 gearing. Sorry, didn't put 2 and 2 together on the day who you were.

Looking forward to coming up Maitland way for the last round of the club series.

If they turn the triple into a quad at St Ives, it will be perfect.

Yes but at least you guys can predict when it is going to rain, for us the only true test as whether or not it is going to rain is to ask yourself "Is it a weekend?" If you answer yes then it is a 50/50 chance it is going to rain.

Small bit of trivia: average annual rainfall in London = 600mm. Average annual rainfall in Sydney = 1200mm. But when it rains here it really rains. Brisbane is surprisingly similar to Sydney, where as Melbourne is about the same London.

So far this year Ryde Club has lost 5 race days to rain and 1 to extreme heat (this wasn't my decision though, it was only 38C, nowhere near too hot!). However we have run at least 5 race days with occassional showers.

So things aren't that perfect here, but I must admit we haven't had to race in snow yet. However, who knows what the climate holds for us in the future!
