All the usual classes will be racing with the main focus being on the Fender/Streetie title. There will be a noticeable change in the condition of the track in the coming weeks as the pit corner is going to undergo a bit of repair work before the Side cars come to race on the 14th of Feb. Just finished uploading a vid on you tube. |

I just watched the video clip,I noticed though it doesnt show any of the unique style you were trialling in the first race that afternoon travelling in reverse,are you saving this to intimidate the opposition on the night,or did you forget to wear your glasses.

are you gonna run stockcars as i see stratford arent running??? might be a chance for the drivers crews to have a skid in return for the effort they put in to keep the machinery running  |

Sandy, if we turn up they will run us, a couple have actually joined the club, i used to be the only one who turned up on a friday for a skid, but we get a few more now, would be great to get a few more out there, may have to have a ring around, be good for us who cant get over to Napier for the North islands on the 10th

if they have a good surface to race on we maybe able to scrape a few cars together . but in the past that track has been pretty un forgiving on our stockcars. especially suspension as you found
out neil. if guys are keen to bring there stockies i suggest you gear your car up as ferndene has big straights and long corners.

Coming second only means you were the first to lose.

Gidday Prongtek... I was going to throw a few bars in the ol' Commadore but decided not to put it on the track. I'd hate to embarrass you on your home track by lapping you mate...although i could drive with the handbrake on to give you FORD guys a chance!! ( I see #351 streety/fender is out there, looks, goes and sounds great) ;D
I will be there hoping to put the Toyota #71 out there with the prod saloons! You guys have some bloody quick prods out there and with the long straights, makes for some FUN racing!!
It will be a good meeting by the sounds of it. See you there
Mike (Red Baron)

Oks people this is gonna be a big one ;D , it seems like its give Prong sh*t day today altho I'm buggered if I can see it marked on my calender. Mate I went to the track prepared, glasses stayed in the tow wagon and wore contacts instead, the down side is every time I pulled my visor up, couldn't see Jacksh*t. But I thought I did well at pulling off those 360s in a very unique fashion, well until someone put that 44gal drum under my car ;D ;D ;D and on top of that managed without any guidance from GPS  Jeez Mike are you trying to tell me that your old dog box on wheels, sorry I'll rephrase that, your old common dog is still going. Hell mate you could make a fortune out of that thing by selling it to a museum as one of the 7 wonders, a holden that old and it still goes, wonders will never cease ;D ;D ;D As for it lapping the Ford, one day I'll cut the roof off the Ford , fill it with water and your common dog can lap until its heart is content, but until that dark day you'll just have to eat my dust ;D ;D ;D And on that note folks there will be a grudge race coming up in the near future. The Animal has not done with racing yet, he has a 3.8 common dog thats he's busy getting ready, its not a fender yet (prod saloon) but will be sometime but the challange has gone out. His Holden vs my Ford, mate vs mate, Dog vs Rod, who's gonna win? Is it gonna be the end of a long friendship, nah after this long being good mates we are way past that sh*t, but someone is gonna cry. Cut a deal with ya mate, we'll go halves in a box of beer and a packet of tissues, the beers to celebrate the winner and the tissues to wipe the others tears away ;D |

Sorry Sandy you get a turn too, Thanks for the really good boost but I haven't really been that much of a bad boy have I, I thought that I had only totally wrecked one car, felt sorry afterwards for the poor little thing too, it sort of just folded up and ended up looking abit like a partly mashed banana. As for those other cars, really officer it wasn't my fault, I was just driving along minding my own business and they kinda cut across in front of me and with my alsymers I forgot which petal to stand on and sort of got the gas pedal and went faster and kinda hit them, but really officer it wasn't my fault ;D ;D
Dude have been trying to encourage new victims, sssh I didn't say that, quick rub it out, some fresh meat, I swear I didn't write that, more lambs to the slaughter, jeez would you quit that, new competitors to come and join in with the fun we have at Ferndene, not scare them off ;D

Well your plan seems to have worked you frightened all the likely opposition into staying home and making it easy for you. If Carl had a Holden he may have given you a hard time instead of showing how reliable Fords really are.
