Hard to say without seeing the surface at the moment.

Chances are it'll be slippery (if it's like the airstrip at Temora), so it'll be a 'how to drive it' question more than how well do we set the cars up.

fwiw. here's my runs from the Temora1000 last year. pay note to the traction issues the first start I attacked like I would a 'fast' traffic light start (not intending traction loss, but not slow), no good. the last runs I was barely on the throttle at all off the line.

I believe traction will be significantly better at Cooma, ie, pull throttle launches. Different surface to Temora

May i suggest starting a thread in the main NSW/ACT events area? This thread is in the FPV & XR Owners Club of ACT club area. This area is for club communications between members.

Cheers
