Yup, Feb 1st is fast looming this Sunday and I am hoping the weather will be good to see these 2 rookies and partners having a race in similar cars in the last race of the day at Meremere Dirt Track Club, as Rookies in the 49th race. Yup, the rookies race. Good on you 2 for doing a 'Petrolfumes' and getting on the other side of the action. It will cost you $8.00 on the gate each, and $5.00 to sign up as a passenger if you so choose, to get an idea of what to do and the general track layout. There is no cost to do the rookies race. The car, and saftey equipment if you dont have any is supplied. If you do own some, bring it as long as it is in good condition. Incidentially Petrolfumes, you are still a rookie until you have done 3 of these races to give people more than one taste of racing so they can truly see if it is 'them' or not. So might see you there tiger? I will hopefully have 2 equal type of cars for this duo to drive, but of course am open to corruption and bribes Who will win between the 2? Yaz the long time watcher and recently licenced driver, or Eddie the longer time driver but recent-ish convert to the racing world. If any others are keen to participate in this race, the maximum rookies on the track at any given time is 12. The racing starts at 10.30 am and the last race of the day is approx 4.30pm-5pm ish. Not bad for $8.00 admission. See you there, Hooncorp.

I reckon art will imitate life and they'll take each other out ;D Whatever happens rest assured that the mere fact that the photog and the video man are both racing doesn't mean no coverage. I'll be there with camera for the stills, and Bronson (TG's usual assistant) will be promoted to No 1. camera for the race Looking forward to it, and the forecast is good. G.

If I had to make a serious prediction I'd go with Yaz too and tell her to take a camera in the car with her. Nobody ever voluntarily gets in front of someone holding a camera ;D

At the end of the day, it doesn't matter who wins as its all about HAVING FUN ;D
And re the video clip LOL ... back in those days I couldn't drive at all, hehe (not to mention I thought Murray was joking when he wanted me to get into the car, and then got a bad case of nerves once I realised he was serious LOL)
Since then tho, I have learnt how to drive and successfully passed my restricted (in a manual too) ;D .... ahhhh, FREEDOM! hehehe...
Any macgorians who we haven't yet met, who are gonna be there, feel free to come and introduce yourselves to us, it would be nice to meet ya ;D
PS: Gary, the camera thing did cross my mind ...anyone got an in-car cam or two?? LOL. Not taking a proper camera in the car with me tho... gotta focus on the race ;D

Thats a comment usually reserved for those that come second or worse, isn't it? ;D But I agree, I'm just out to have some fun. I only just got over the back pain from the last time I got too cocky behind the wheel Spell Zaynsde backwards Actually shes come a long way since that was shot, and Grandad wasn't involved in her driver training ;D so she can be confident. Yaz keeps telling me to update that film though.
