Default Bathurst - Road Trip and Vehicle Preparations

Going to Bathurst for the first time this weekend for the Supercar race. Going a country route that involves some insane looking roads off the beaten track - route chose by my mate, goes through a mini range, some low lying valleys, lots of corners, not much in the way of towns or people -very remote roads with some scary looking drop off ravines .......

We are going to do most of the drive day before race and stop off at a country pub overnight- 4 guys altogether, 1 does not drink, by my calculations 3 rounds of a nice ale x 2 or 3 each -should be a good night to calm the nerves after the drive.

Then raceday.......

But the real adrenalin rush will be the drive before raceday- so in preparation, here is what I am doing to my FGX XR8 in preparation for the drive:

1. Installation of Streetfighter stage 2 intercooler.

2. Engine oil change.

3. Gearbox oil change.

4. Diff oil change.

5. Complete brake fluid replacement with racing brake fluid.

Anybody else got a special road trip and preparations planned for the last Supercar V8 Bathurst raceday?
