====== Port Road Notes ======

===== Prep =====

  * Use the best rubber you have available. It **will** make a difference.
  * Watch your videos from the previous event. Figure out where the gear changes are.
  * Check tire pressures. Aim for 32 PSI hot for semi slicks.
  * Turn off windscreen washer taps. 

===== On The Day =====

  * Don't drive like a dick. You will enjoy the event more if you try for the best time you can possibly do. Don't try and do a massive burn out off the start line. Port road is not the event for fucking around.
  * Don't try and do the first corner in second gear without lifting off unless:
    * The track is dry,
    * You have good rubber on the rears **and**
    * It is not your first run of the day.

===== Track Notes =====

  * **Start** Lots of revs off the start line. Better to have a bit of tyre spin than bog down the engine.
  * **First corner** Change into third while buttoning off. Ease the gas on carefully.
  * **First barrel** You are going faster than you think. Brake a bit early.
  * **Ambulance corner** Stay in third.
  * **Alleyway** short shift to third.
  * **Alleyway, final exit** Button off more than you think you need to. It will set you up for the final corner and is the fastest way through. Brake //really hard//.

===== Morning Schedule =====

  * 5:30am Alarm
  * 6:20am Leave home
  * 6:40am Arrive at venue
  * 7:30am Set up 
  * 7:45am Driver's briefing
