Life's tuff!
Andy, his father in law and I playing golf at Marri Park, a public course seems to be a ragular thing now, so it'd be rude not to wouldn't it?
The pics here are a bit grainy as they were taken on the phone again - sorry 'bout that!This is why I nearly missed last week's game! Had to wait for this thing to pass as they closed the road to raise the electric cables across the road.
Charlie G, Nige and I went to see the top door slammers comp, which runs once a year in WA as we have the best strip in Australia, so boys with their toys all 'rock up' from all over the world to compete at this event.Last night, a bew record was set by the door slammers (ZapRat pictured here), which are not true drag cars. They are just 'toys' with 5 litre V8s, producing almost 3000bhp and reaching the end of the 1/4 mile in 5.6 seconds!!! They're doing over 300kph by then too! Wicked!
Looking forward to next month's meet - when the BIG boys bring their BIG toys - The top-fuelers, so watch this space!
What a big lorry i would love to drive one like that,they should put the wires up the same width as the road is wide should be ok then. M & D
