All Racing Finished
All in all it was a good weekend of racing, no overly serious people, no dummy spits and no arguments, made it quite enjoyable, but everyone does know that Australia Day belong to Peter Dimmers, well done. Before you say it I am allowed to be a little bit extra happy with my fiancé’s efforts. I was good to see some new faces to racing and funny to see how other old faces still haven’t changed a bit.
Interesting weekend but still great.
Lois Lane signing off til next time
See Ya
