headed up to Barbagallo Raceway yesterday
i made one huge mistake, i left my big rain jacket in the car, and only took a cheap poncho thingy that folded into my pocket nicely - it was nice and sunny, with a few big fluffy clouds, a great day for racing
as the formula vees went out for qualifying the sky got really dark

it was during this rain that my poncho started to leak, i probably would have been drier if i had jumped into a puddle
it was blowing a gale, and i was freezing
so i decided to go home, dry off and warm up, as i wasnt enjoying my self.
i did take photos as i walked around the track back to the car though
