Hey Doc,

You should do this for Philip Island as well and we should do a trip down there as the PI track is great.

I am sure the DDRR would love the place  [moto]

As to eastern creek I now have a few stats form the 1098s I was following in session 3 - just before you got there.

258 down the straight - 186 on corner 1 and 1:58 round the track with one lap at 1:55. [cheeky]

Track day Prep  [thumbsup]

I think PI would be great - It looks a much faster track - EC is shorter and curvy whereas PI is much faster (and longer) - I have on down PI on the Playstation though  [laugh] [cheeky]

I am in for a track day at PI though - Fly down and use the ride bikes and then take the DDRR there when you get a chance. Would be fun though.... [cheeky]
