PJ,

They have Flexi races on Saturday afternoons. Spray glue prep has been very light.

Not enough grip on the track (no traction compound allowed) to be able run Wings fast at this stage so I doubt that any enthusiasm for a wing racing will happen in the short term.

Thanks Dennis,good to hear there is some regular racing. I suppose the Flexi racers will want to go faster eventually,so there could be wing car stuff in the future.
In the meantime...If you feel the need for speed,King Willy's 27L series starts this weekend (Sat.18 Jan.). Races every month with OMO,W12 & I-15 alternating as supports.
Hope to see you there sometime.

Cheers,Andy

Come on over, Dennis. The offer of a bed still stands.

Timmy,

Thanks again for your kind offer.

John Ward, Derek Lamb ( I built two 27L cars for him) and myself were planning to come over for the Vic State Titles.

John's death and Derek's transfer to Sydney with the RAAF made it impossible. Still hope to get over there in Autumn.

Are you guys running in the Nats? Although I am short of motors I would love to catch up with everyone again.

I'll be at the Nats,Dennis. Probably only on the Saturday.
The Geelong Crew,(Rick,Stuart Bach,Lee Evans,Dave Matuch),I believe,will be there.

Cheers,Andy

FYI,
Caught up with most of the guys who used to race at Redline at John's funeral. Was great to talk about the good old days of Wing racing in S.A. and our interstate trips.
