Good track to pick considering there is a 2 day meeting there this weekend. Or maybe perhaps not, I might be pig sick of the sight of the place by Sunday evening  ;) ::)

I was enjoying that, racing nose to tail with Picnic Pete till I did my first cut track & it gave me an instant stop-go. ::)

I remember we've had this problem a few times using this track, as far back as a PNG race I organised here, 26-28 car grid & we lost about 10 people through disgust/confusion over stop-goes received.
I think it was that same race where my old mate Martin Blunder Mason (remember him! :)) got a stop go at the 1st chicane on lap 1 I think! :laugh: Ridiculous!

The thing is, I would say the cut I go the stop-go for was marginal (though no worries), but earlier I did a slightly worse one & got nothing (I assumed I would so looked for the confirmation).


p.s. When we starting the new season H@L? Sunday 1st September seems like a good date :thumbup1:
