First Race

Hello all,

Here we are in Tom Price, all the cars have been off loaded, including our trailer with much difficulty. We have had hot laps and our first 2 heats.

Heat one saw Crabby Snr tip, after 3 laps you would think he would've learnt to avoid the pot hole on turn 4 but he didn't. He hit the pot hole and went straight for the wall ending up on his side. They are still fixing the car and we are almost at the third heat. Front wing is ripped up and will go straight to the tip, the front axle was also badly damaged along with all the front wing too, lucky we carry some old spares. 77 almost looks back together, should be out for the 3rd heat.

My lucky number 12 has been doing great, Kris pulled up in the first race due to not being able to get the car in gear on the restart, apparently a nut fell off, I blame dad, his trying to sabotage me. He was doing great though, before Crabby decided to turn right he was catching Glen, chasing him down for first place. The second heat he placed first after a great race. I've let him know that the trophy tonight stays with the car and not the driver, he has also retaliated saying that there is no excuses from me, the car is running too well to be blamed.

Glen won the first race and came third in the second, his car has been running well, it's just unfortunate he couldn't catch Rib and Kris.

Rib's been doing well, second in both heats, car seems to be going great and unlike dad he learnt to avoid that pot hole after a few run ins with it. We would also like to wish Rib a very happy 22nd birthday tomorrow.

Dhuy, poor Dhuy never has much luck. First heat they couldn't get the Watsons' 10 car going because they had the gears back to front which ended up stuffing the diff. Second heat they unfortunately broke a shocky, I am assured by Sandra that the car is ready to go for the third heat very shortly.

One other car has shown up, a 360, number 12, they are a local Tom Price car. His definitely on the peddle keeping up with the others.

One last word from Sandra, if you don't want to crash don't take your car on the track.

Got to run, got 3 cars to push out for heat three that's about to start, Crabby Snr is getting in ready to go. I'll see you all out on the track after America.

CJ aka Crabby Jnr
