But what doesn't kill you makes you stronger!
Enjoy the nighttime racing with the lights off - it really is something else! Things might look different in the morning…

They certainly will now we have replaced a failing light board! Soldered back together by Uncle Mike.
Spirits good, and for my last driving stint, I was standing next to 'Mr Slot.it' Maurizio!

And I think a very slick rear wing repair was filmed by Mr Soden...fingers crossed it makes the final cut!
And here is the race body with repaired wing and lighting chip, waiting for when it might be needed, with the car running with the spare body

And the race body is back out on race car! At the last driver chsngeover, we noticed that the rear wing from car had been lost in action out in the dark somewhere. It was easier to swap bodies rather that hunt the thimble, and it gives us the opportunity to fabricate our revised wing arrangement whereby the wing is not the part of the car that takes the impact in a rear shunt.
Here is the repair under the heat lamp!
And this repair was featured in a Wayne Lander video...
I'd rather be resting!
Here we go again...

Still racing in the dark here. It is quite a magical spectacle. And the skill of the drivers in hitting their braking points lap after lap is mesmerising.
Our click rate has dropped from around 190 laps an hour under lights to 160 here in the dark.
