Fc racing around bathurst

Fc racing around bathurst..........well not quiet racing. As part of the 2010 FE FC nationals, we were able to do a parade lap of the bathurst car racing track. I had daniel from sa in the "race" fc with me as 150 odd FC's went around the track in a break during a race meeting.

We mostly kept speeds under 80 but down conrad straight we gave it a blast up to 100.

I'm told when its not a race day the track is a public road but its restricted to 60kms and its you can only drive in the reverse direction.

Driving during a race meeting was certainly a special treat. To make the treat even better was when the marshalls unexpectedly allowed us to do a 2nd lap. The old drum brakes were already starting to fade at the end of conrad the 2nd time around. I couldn't imagine how a stock fc would go at race pace !!

Bye for now.
