I know we need the rain...but bugger it!!!
Well here's the story.........I get invited out to a practise day at Easter Creek by the Pirtek Racing Team, that's them new fangled vee
eight racing car thingies. So the deal is I get to ride in the passenger seat of the Pirtek car with Ambros driving....yea haaaaa.
So what happened?....it bloody well rains! I'm next, suited up with helmet and gloves on......he brings the car back in after taking a passenger
for a few wet laps and, you guessed it, 2 much standing water on the track to continue.
BUGGERRRRRRRR
At least I got 2 look the part.....

holden might have more recent race wins.
But then they did have to exclude the gtrs and sierras to get there.
Oh but then they also had to use ford diffs.
Oooh and then they had to use a chev engine.
ooooops and now they are going to use ford wishbone front end.
hmmm. but then the whole commodore thing is just a reworked opel anyway.

AND YOU GUYS HAD TO HIJACK A HOLDEN DRIVER.
Then again Ford could always drag Moffat out again!
Gotta admit Lownes(sp?) car is BY FAR the best looking car on the track!
KOM123 - nah you aint missed nuthin. The digital got nocked off from work the day before i picked her up. Goint to get one of the kids a 1.3 pixel
camera for Chrissie ( see if it is good enough ) and i am not allowed to use it till then.
Some A-hole even managed to put a 50cm scape down the RHS.
Oh well - nuthin 1mm of bog wont fix. Lucky it is an easy colour to match!
