Sydney Dragway Pro Series and Track Championship
Well, after loading and unloading the car and parts for 2 days, setting up and tearing down the Circus tent, the meeting was finally CANCELLED due to
RAIN. Had a run before the rain, but was not worth posting (felt like I was towing the kombi down the track)
See you all at the Nostalgia's!!

I REALLY hate race days like that.......a lot!
I remember riding my little Duc 350km to the track once from home, coz I rang before I left home and was told the weather was overcast but looked
good. Got soaking wet at about the 1/2 way mark, drenched through leathers and everything, had to avoid falling branches off trees at one point even.
Got to the track it was overcast, looking like a bedraggled cat dragged out of a pond.......just as they closed the gates up.
A wind storm had blown branches everywhere so the track was closed up.
So I rode home again.
*sigh*

At least I got one run in before it rained - many Group 1 racers didn't

That's why I drive a 1956 beetle - limited technology.
If you want to see the picture, go to the Cackling Pipes Photography website for the meeting. It won't be hard to find, it's the only beetle
there!!

Thanks Matt, As you know, It all comes down to a lot of work, a lot of friends (VW and non VW) a lot of patience, a lot of listening and a lot of
mistakes to get it the way that you want it - and it's still not right (Am I happy with it? - s**t yeah!!)
