When we left the track last night, there was a couple of severe weather warnings. South Australia had a tropical feed coming from the north west which was east of Adelaide and there was a cold feed coming from the south east which was west of Adelaide. We were right in the middle of the 2 strong systems.

We were lucky to have missed out on any heavy rains but did get some hammering with strong winds. I had one of the roads coming in blocked by a downed tree. Seemingly there was some repairs to be made around the circuit as well.

Even though the 2 weather systems persisted, they were still missing Adelaide and we had periods of sunshine today.

Today we had an extra 10 firefighters which took the pressure off a little trackside, giving a total of 110 firefighters for fire and rescue.

Today we saw the V8 Supercars out on track (these are our version of Nascars for our North American friends). After a couple of practice sessions it was straight into qualifying.

Most of the cars behaved themselves but some couldn’t help themselves and hit the walls anyway. One of the recoveries didn’t take long to get onto the tow truck but took quite a while to get off as the gear box or brakes locked on.

Well it was quiet until the end of the day when the V8 Utes, V8 Development Series and Carrera Cup came out, then all hell broke loose with carnage all over the track. This kept us busy until the end of the day and the sunset finish. The end of a long day.
