Just checking if this thing still works.
Hi all,
Well getting myself ready for the Knoxville yearly trip and thought I had better get my blogging skills back up and running.
So lets see if this old technology stuff still works.
Unofficially from me- not from the committee.
We have had 2 x meetings to discuss the specs for division 2, we have come up with what we think is a good starting point and this will be tabled before the committee on sunday the 7th July for consideration.
Carnarvon have 6 Limited Spec cars now running, and they are looking to add 2 more cars to this division next year, several seasons ago they had a round of Limited racing pencilled in their calander and they have asked for a spot again, still to be presented to the committee, but a good sign that our message is getting out there.
Geraldton still continues to be the strong point for Limiteds, with a car count that would be envied by all sprintcar divisions, this really shows what the Geraldton Club are capable of, good solid people putting in a huge effort.
Our itinerary for this year is-
New york for Janette's rest and recreation, Annette and Dave Padmore are coming with us, dont worry Dave I know a good Irish Bar one block from the hotel for hiding while the ladies shop. Cold Corona and great food.
Then to Knoxville for the Open Nationals, then Annette and Dave go home, Janette and I are travelling on to Pennsylvania to catch up with "The Posse", taking tours of Panchos, RUPW and the Winters factory, a bit of site seeing around Harrisburg and Gettysburg, but most importantly we will be watching "The Posse" show at 3 local tracks, usually a feast of open and 358 cars.
We then head back to New York and Peter and Mariah are coming over, we do a few more days with them and then who knows, if we need to we will head back, if not I would love to go to Calistoga, want to stand next to the Garry Patterson plaque, shed a tear for my hero,see the spot that claimed the life of the great man and dream of days gone by, a bit like standing in the middle of the grassed area that used to be Claremont Speedway, it is hard to just stand there without being drawn back to the sounds and smells of a great long past era. OK back to reallity.
Guys if you want a shirt or a tourist item email me, happy to grab something and post it home.
Crabby.
