Hi Everyone, VW Portland 2009 welcomes Yokohama Tyres Australia on board as a supporting sponsor. CT Hansen from Yokohama will again be racing his immaculate Oval. This is the last week for driver entries, which close this Friday 13th February. Late entries only by prior arrangement. Cheers Craig

Stanley I guess the reward is in the doing of it

I'm getting in early and wording the wife up for next year.
That should be long enough to wear her down.

My Oval is packed to the hilt and sitting in front of the shops next door hoping some Bondi turkey doesn't reverse into it.

I've got to drop some stuff off to Westi, that he doesn't know about, in the morning and then I'm hitting the road. I've got 2 iPods worth of rubbish to listen to so the webers don't give me hearing and brain damage. I must be mad.

But not as mad as the Brisbane folk heading to Portland. I admire the commitment. From what I hear there'll be more entrants from Brisbane than from Melbourne.

What's wrong with the Victorian enthusiasts?

I'll see Rodney and Craig in Albury tomorrow night if the Gods of reliability are still smiling on me.

I'm looking foward to the trip, I need it to clear my head of work.

Matt Berry has asked me to see if 98 octane is available in town,
or if he will have to pick some up on the way down.

I am leaving here at 3am, or if some one knows him they might like to ring him.
Otherwise I wiltext him when I check here later tonight.

Safe travels everyone!
