Good to see the park getting used again after sitting dormant for too many weeks over Christmas, get out and enjoy the summer while you can it won't be long before the Super Rugby bombardment strikes again.

be interesting to see what sort of crowd they will get. Not many people I know are going as not much on programme to get them excited. Each to their own I suppose.
Would be surprised if any of the stockcars heading to Wgtn this weekend will turn up, too close to having to head away. Not sure how many are heading down to Wgtn so what this will do for numbers is anyones guess.

i think jamo is correct
quite a few are going on wed to wellington.
possibly 34a mark wearing will be out with a recent work injury.
so, i guess that makes 11 cars for wellington.

Won't leave many doing the rounds on wednesday night then will it  Wisdom of adding this meeting on Wednesday will be seen on the night I suppose by way of crowd numbers but with a club watching it's $$ may prove to an expensive experiment.... hope I am wrong! Pity mods have been taken off programme for Saturday night as well as there were 2-3 Stratty guys keen to come for a skid prior to the Dirt Cup and this was their last chance..... would have been good racing! At least the solos, sidecars and ministocks are all getting plenty of track time this season though, thats the main thing!  |

Key people quite often don't attend so you never really get the opportunity to ask the questions to the guys who make the decisions..... been the same way for years as far as I can tell. generally has about 5 mins of rubbish and then the bar is opened and people talk crap for 3 hours! lol! Just my perception of them anyway  |

At the A.G.M the Commitee promised us 12 "mega" shows instead of the 26 average shows like last year. Sorry to say Abe's we're having trouble rating this years meetings as "average" let alone "mega" |

. . . . . . .and then I find after checking the website that the only thing worse than watching "International Solos" on the "bull ring" is the fact that we are getting tucked $15 bucks for the privilege.  Enjoy your final few meetings as promoter Abrahams!  |
