Bayside and Chargers will both have night meets this Saturday night 18th April.
Racers this week will notice more fantastic progress at Bayside. This week there will be plenty of light in the pits. Floru have been installed in both pit spaces.
Looking forward to it.

    At Bayside tonight we used a variation of the track that we had not used before, personally I didn’t mind it but to be fair the majority didn’t like it. At a drivers meeting we decided on a track to run next meet and for the next 6 meets.
    It was a pretty good meet with 1 heat of 540, 2 of stock, 1 of mod and 1 each of gas and pro nitro.
    I was happy to qualify 3rd for the 15 minute gas A final and after breaking a side belt after 1 minute and being therefore forced to drive without brakes for the rest of it was delighted to finish 3rd as well. The CEN just gets better every meet.
    Others will be telling stories about the rest of the race meet, I’m off to Tassie.

    hmm, you better get here fast. I broke one of the toys today when I took on a bmx track and lost. If you don’t hurry I might break everything before you get to come and play! 😯

    540 TQ vazzo, butt kicked in final by Mitchell Hollis, he actually lapped me so I ended up second with third being taken by Steve Evans.
    Stock TQ and won by Clinton Gooch, followed in the distance by Barger and I forgot the other guys name sorry I think it was Peterson??? 1st and 2nd were Shui’s Paul 😆
    Mod TQ and won by Anthony, followed by Leonard and John Perkins, good to see the mod numbers up
    GAS TQ and won by Wade, 2nd??? and third Heavy (with NO brakes) 😆
    PRO TQ and won by John T, little Johhnie was winning until he lost a side belt and flamed out which left it to late for him to catch big john, I think little Johhnie might have come second and third may have been Ash???
    It was a good race meet, I dont think well see another Sat night meet for a while or until it heats up again from what I heard.
    Sorry if some of the info is incorrect. See you at Meakin Park next week.

    Tony when you get your Mugen going we will have a little wager – maybe one of Trish’s chocolate muffins – looser buys 😆
    How good was the food last night at Trish’s cafe – best trackside food in Brissie I reckon.

    I have a fuel gun, if I am understanding the process correctly, you just “shoot” the fuel “gun” at the car as it screams full noise down pit lane.
    Will have to try that next fortnight.

    Yea Sparksy – we were talking about you Sat night and wondering where you’ve disapeared too.
    Just realised if Tony gets his Nitro going I’ll have to get another pit man as well. Maybe his Mugen will be so fast he can run down from the drivers stand and pit for me and then run back up and resume his race 😆 😆 that’ll give me a chance !
