Sure does. This is a big one. I reckon they'll not only break 200 they'll smash it!

If it is close to Mr Kelly's record then I'll push hard for us all to come to Bonneville this year with the car and then all will be forgiven.

Thanks Trent.

Bit sore and sorry here this morning, the BBQ was a bit of fun.

We also have interest from a doco maker who is fairly serious, sounds interesting and has a bit of backing.

The weather looks encouraging, hot too.......I'm off to get me a new straw hat..


ps: ...see, Bill I can appreciate your wish for us to do 221.1 but personally I'm hoping for 374km/h....which is about 232........... wishful thinking

And Gus sez "Good luck guys! Give a good rip at that little torn edge!" He said you'd know what that means. Wayno

Very good Wayno :-D

And return the greeting to Gus, I know exactly what he means. ....and tell him every time I think of him I chuckle to myself..." standing up in a hammock"....I wish you could be here Wayno. Me Grumm and Simon will drink a toast to absent friends and you guys will be at the top of the list.

Last night in one of my usual wake-up in the wee hours and think of something I haven't done, have to do or some other non-immediately fixable thing I thought of trailering the car........it's backwards. When I brought the frame back from being blasted I put it in the shed nose first, no big deal I thought......well, IT IS A BIG DEAL :oops:....for starters, with no reverse I can't drive it into the trailer( yes, it has a winch, just lazy),  I don't know if it will fit tail first into the trailer, I assume it will fit.........I can't get it out of the driveway to turn it around........so tired, so much to do...................

309 entries, almost exactly half bikes fortunately.......I hope the new marshalling system works well........
