Can someone explain what "Test and Tune" days are and what "Open Practice" days are? Do they still time you?

Good night boys, good to see the AU boys out in force. A little disappointed but still managed to reel off consistent 14.50's at 155 kmh. My best was a couple of 14.3's with 2.1 second 60fts.
James with his taxi pack xr6 got a best of 14.0 flat. Congratulations mate!! Definitely opened my eyes up to gearing and how important it is. (BA FALCON)
