Log entry Earth date 1st March 2006

One more day to go. We woke up to a wet wet wet morning, no rain, no sun, but wet. Met Mr. Sander at the buffet breakfast at 8am and we had a good chat. Mr Sander left for the track at 9pm, I stay back and had a walk around the hotel and took some pictures with my camera.

Just before noon, I joined Mr Sander for a shopping trip to the Sim Lim Square equivalent which they call Dusit Mangga Dua. A group of about 3 buildings and a hotel, all linked together with walkways. Mr Sander shopped for a Nikon Cookpix 8MP camera, they quoted him a price of RP4million.

At 4pm we made it back to the track where the organizer Mr. Nicky Tjonnadi had called for a team manager's meeting. Both Nicky and Sanders gave a brief to all present. Some interesting points brought up were:
1. iFMAR will soon be announcing the abolishment of all 2 chamber pipes, there will be a grace period, but if anyone is shopping for a pipe they should all go for a 3 chamber pipe.
2. A lot of guys during free practice was flying up the pit lane ramp, the organizer will probably be adding a speed hump to prevent any mechanic from being hit in the head by a flying 5kg buggy.
3. The Control Practice on 2nd March will be used to re-seed all drivers.
4. With 5 rounds of heats, the best 3 will be used to seed the X'mas tree finals.

With that we ended a rather uneventful day here in Ancol.
