Has anybody borrowed Helmets from Heathcote b4? Whats the deal with that? Do we pay a deposit or anything like that? Or does anyone have a helmet they can lend me for the day?

Cheers

Matt

If you go through Heathcote it is signposted off the main road about 5 - 6ks out from memory.

Whew... just got the car loaded, time for some shut eye.

Well, it was an interesting day to say the least.

Makka actually won the "Handbags at Heathcote competition" by doing a 16.5 sec pass and Matt doing a 17.0 sec pass racing against each other although Matt's best time for the day was 14.74 with more potential.
Needless to say, Makka didn't want to go best out of 3, LOL hahahahahaha.

Pics coming shortly.....

Cheers,
Rick.
