Hey Hardie, I think it would be a good idea if teams could drop one month because of lack of wind etc

Now this has nothing to do with the great month we're having in FNQ

I would take up circuit racing in the spa instead, but wife is still too fast

Cheers,
Bob.

Ken Warby, or nowadays Rosco Mcglashan would have loved a flat track like that for speed runs, maybe you guys need a jet engine like those two use.
But flat, its that flat my misses wants to know who ironed it, and can she send some over to get a flash job like that on her gear.

I was surprised when I Goggled Kens name how he is still "the" man
I liked his approach, "Hmmmm not going fast enough, Ahhh well, I’ll get the saw out and lop a bit off the bottom of the rudder,,,,,, there ya go that fixed it, try it now Yaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh,,,,, NEW WORLD RECORD

Feel sorry for ya bob, have discussed discards with ben and it just adds unwanted complexity and takes away from the simplicity, luckily no-one has wagered their sheep station on it

was it that long ago Ahhh yep I did see him, took kids for a look. And yes Was Ken Warby. I was over East when he ran his record, I was in the the Forces, and intended to go down to watch his attempt, but couldn't go for one reason or another.

Any way, I've got more time now to chase my wife around the spa
Or do a JP and take her to lunch
